of our intelligence recognizable as

part which makes us individuals. In

Russian Problem Internal.
One of the wisest of my Russian ac-
uuaintances recently undertook the
dangerous task of forecasting the Rus
sian future He saw for the next few
years the gradual evolution of the
state. the growth of the peasant in
fiuence, the gradual transformation
of the character Of the regime. But
his most significant comment was that

half a century, the Russian problem

leadership and government to supply
the domestic needs: that the period be-
tween 1925 and 1850. for example.

and 1890 in our own country. when
the West was being opened and de-
yeloped.
There is enough in Russia to keep
Russians busy" that was the burden
of his prophecy. The Bolshevists can
not make an aggressive war, for the
peasants will not march. No other
war is possible because no one Will
attack Russia What Russians Will

Of traditional aspirations in the south

peace. a peril to her neighbors or a
real factor in international relations.
There is a Russian problem" he
concluded, but 1t is in fact a Rus
sian problem. The Soviet govern
ment will be forced in order to retain
its position to direct its energies more
and more utterly TO the satisfying of
material domestic demands rather
than TO the promotion of new revolu-
lions in other nations. The victorS
of the old revolution, for ii Is already
old. will become the victims OF the
new evolution. The Russia that is
coming will be a Russia concerned
with itself for a long span of time.
Meanwhile it is no longer a menace
and is becoming less and less a mys-

~ HE following is brief sum
mary of the most important
news of the world for the
seven days ended Janu-
airy so:
The British Empire.-Apparently
the threatened strike has been
avoided.
Sir Alfred Mond, all his life a Lib
eral, has joined the Conservatives
"Au efforts" he says, ito revivify
and reorganize the Liberal party have
been rendered hopeless by the intro
duction by Lloyd George of land
policy which has produced new
and profound cleavage and embar-
rassment in the Liberal ranks" 1t
seems that in February Lloyd George
tional Liberal Federation calling for
naturalization Of the land. To Sir
Alfred the notion is horrible one.
The board of trade has issued sta
tistics of 1925 as follows: Imports
topped those of the previous year to
the tune of 45.419,000 pounds. while
exports fell off to the value of a.
$500 pounds. The adverse trade
balance was the largest of record
namely, 1881 900 pounds. as against
BAL 1926, 900 pounds for 1924 and no.
425, 900 pounds for 1928. Coal exports
declined TO the value of 100000
pounds, and exports Of wooden yarns
and manufactured goods to the value
of 100000 pounds. Cotton exports
were of about the same value as those
of 1924. The value of rubber imports
increased by 2O,000,000 pounds.
The Free State is cutting its army
about 5000 men and 900 officers, thus
effecting an annual saving of the
equivalent of about S25,000.000. It is
expected that the discharged men all
will find employment in connection
with the Shannon River electrical
ton enterprise.
Great platinum finds in the Trans
vaal and Rhodesia are reported.
F'rance.-On Tuesday the French
Chamber began debate on the sup
Elementary tax bill reported out by
the Chamber finance commission. The
Left majority of the commission fun
damentally altered in a Left sense
the bill submitted to it by NJ. Doumer
That gentleman, one hears, is kept
from resigning only by the prayers
of BRAND and the hope, which day
by day seems less and less justified
that the Chamber will work out a
satisfactory compromise bill, restor-
ing the most important items pro-
posed by him and retaining only those
minor changes proposed by the COM
mission which are inoffensive to his
economic principles.
Apparently BRAND will not, unless
the Chambers decision seems to him
too outrageous, raise the question of
confidence in connection with the bill
He counts on the Senate to eliminate
from the measure sent up to 1t what
ever is positively obnoxious to him.
And so on and on till a fair compro-
mise is reached or the necessity of
new general elections Is clearly mani
fest.
For the fourth successive month
the French trade balance of Decem-
Der last was unfavorable. 1t was 917,-
OO0,0 francs as against 381, 900, 600
for the previous month. The balance
for the year 1925 was favorable one
of 1,433.00O,00O francs. That of 1924
also was favorable, $40, 100000

The Story the Week Has Told

Of them is that providing that re
course to the court, settlement of diff
ferences between the United States
and any other state or states, can
be had only by agreement thereto
through general or special treaties
concluded between the parties in dis
pute.' A considerable number of
reservations offered by anti-court
Senators were rejected.
The Senate, having unanimously
passed the House joint resolution APP
propriating $4,000 to cover the ex-
penSes of participation of American
representation in the commission,
which. under league auspices, is to
prepare the way for an International
disarmament conference, acceptance
by US of the invitation to participate
has been dispatched to Geneva.

dent of the United Mine Workers, the

Of the mine operators and miners,
respectively, which were suspended
in New York on January -, We're
resumed in Philadelphia on January
20. Opinions differ greatly as to the
prospects. Meanwhile, the PennsyI-
vania Legislature is more or less busy
with the problem.
The st. Louis-San Francisco Rail-
way Co. has acquired a controlling
interest In the Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific Railway Co, with a view
TO combining the two systems into
one system, SURPRISING for mileage
any other system in the world.
The st. Louis-San Francisco has
5,546 miles of main tracks, and the
Chicago. Rock Island and Pacific
5000 miles; total, 1855 miles. The
Southern Pacific system has 12,447
miles. There are rumors af1oat of
other coming mergers. Perhaps leg

not be found necessary.

Of discussion in London, for example,

But in Poland not only Is there no

A MERICA is now entering into
~ new responsibilities in the

a evolution of the nations, we
have become the creditor of
the world, we shall have to face that
fact and act with the responsibility
and intelligence which that situation
imposes. If our command of natural

ductive application are to be exercised
for the benefit and safety of the

Now that the debauch of the great
war is over we look at the cost Of the
conflict with the depression of the
morning after. Our desolated homes.
our economic burdens. our human
losses, all lead to the prayers and cries
Of united world to outlaw war.
But prayers and longing must be
supplemented by action. The great
emotional dream to outlaw war, with
Its devastation and disaster. is one Of
the most desirable agencies in the
world toward peace, provided we will
it float in the air as something

The same committee held that the
use Of aircraft in war should be gov
erned by the rules of warfare as
ADAPTED to aircraft by a further con-
ference which should be held at a
later date"
Members of this committee for the
United States were Rear Admiral Will
liam A Moffett, now chief of the Blu
reau of Aeronautics of the Navy, and
Mai. Gen. Mason NJ. Patrick, head of
the Army air service. The Italians held
out for limitation of the air strength.
but the United States. Great Britain.
France and Japan, were united in OPP
position.
The presumption is. however, that
at the coming conference, Great Brit
ain will look with favor on plans for
the limitation OF air strength. Just as
she will look with favor on the aboli-
ton of the submarine and the capital
ship. But France and the United
States, and probably Japan. having
their own problems of national defense
in mind, will likely be opposed to any
attempt at drastic limitation of air
strength.
If an attempt is made to limit
heavier-than-air craft in the military
and naval services, it may take several
lines. First, the limitation in num-
Der of craft; second, the limitation of
horsepower; third, the limitation of
the lift tonnage: fourth, the limita-
ton of personnel, and fifth, the limita-
ton of military aircraft budgets.
A great difficulty, however, in eff
fectually establishing a Limitation on
HEAVIER than-air craft lies in the con-
slant development of new and more
efficient planes. Aircraft that is rated
high today, may in few months, be-
come obsolete.
The problem of limiting air strength
may be attacked also from the angle
of ability to produce and maintain air
craft. Here, again, the question of
commercial aviation hobs up, and the
determination of many not to permit a
check to be placed upon this very
proper development of transportation
and communication.
So far as than-air craft are
concerned, the problem of limitation
is held to be much simpler than in
the case of the planes. Their numbers
and size can be regulated, and the
personnel can be limited.
In the case of one nation. an arbi-
trary limitation has been placed upon
air strength. That is Germany. But

Prohibition Lauded.

1t is so unusual to read anything
good about American prohibition in
European newspapers that recent
article in the Svenska Morgonbladet
deserves a note. The writer declares
that there were 10 times more arrests
for drunkenness in Stockholm than
In New York in proportion to popula
ton. He would not allow that this
was to the credit of the Stockholm
police. or that it showed slackness in
New York. The Morgonbladet verdict
Is that O prohibition in American is
not a failure. C2) that it is superior in
some ways to the Swedish system
of drink regulation and ~ that while
temperance conditions here are not
improving, American conditions are
becoming more favorable. The Nor
gonbladet is Stockholm's religious
daily.
