Judge Stephen B. Davis, former SO.
licitor of the Department of Com
merce, is to be drafted for special
service with the American delegation
at the impending International Radio
telegraph Conference in Washington.

President Coolidges appointment of
Dwight w. Morrow as Ambassador to
Mexico continues to agitate the po-
liticO- diplomatic waters. New angles"
crop up from day to day. One of the
latest is that his ambassadorship-and
anticipated success in ironing out our
difficulties with Calles-is to be step
ping.stone to a cabinet post. Another
suggestion Is that Mr.. Morrow's re-
puted inclinations in the direction of
relations with Russia may pave the
way TO peace between Washington
and Moscow. Morrow does not rank
as "recognitionist." but he Is be-
lieved to hold some views approximate
ing those of Senator Borah. Borah's
position is that the United States
should abandon its boycott Of Soviet
Russia and enter into negotiation with
her for those rights and claims which
this Government set up. Borah thinks
we're more likely to get somewhere"
by that method than by stubborn re-
fusal of dealings until our demands
are met.

prepared by Miss Rose Boose, worker

neither meet the approval OF Heaven
nor of those to whom they carry the
