The Soviet and Terrorism,

The Russian Soviet government
which sets itself up as a model for
the rest of the world, has taken again
10 midnight executions. Twenty per
sons accused Of counter'revoMtionary
activities against the Soviet regime
have been killed. according to the
press reports. with practically no OPP
portunity TO defend themselves before
a judicial tribunal.
The picture presented is brutal. The
executions were carried out Tor a
single purpose-to overawe and ter
rorize opponents OF the Soviet in Rus
STA. They give evidence of panic on
the part of the Soviet, however NO
government that felt itself strong in
the affections of a people would adopt
such measures.
The Soviet government has issued
communique declaring that most OF
those executed were in the pay OF the
British government. The Soviet gov
eminent seeks also to excuse itself
for these official murders on the
ground that every state has right
to take unusual steps to defend itself.
There is no doubt that the recent dis
missal of the Soviet mission from
London and withdrawal of recognition
of the Russian government by Great
Britain has been a severe blow to the
Soviet. The assassination of M.
voikoff, Russian Minister to Poland,
an incident as deplorable as the Soviet
executions, has added to the fears of
the bolshevists. In a measure, the
executions in Moscow must be regard
ed as a measure of reprisal. Terrorism
apparently is again rampant in Rus
STA. How long a government can con-
tinue to survive through such methods
remains to be seen.
Liberal sympathies in other coun-
tries which have sided with the Rus
sian government in its determination
long stand the assault of such brutal
and cold-blooded executions. No armed
revolt exists in Russia today to justify
them. No crime is charged against
any one of the twenty executed which
would have called for the death pen
atty in any civilized nation today, 1T
is reported.
The Soviet government Of Russia
might have had peace in Russia and
measure of respect Of the rest of
the world had it been willing to
grant fair treatment to all the people
of Russia and refrained from seeking
the overthrow of organized govern
ment in other countries. 1t has de-
manded recognition and fair treat
ment from other governments while
reserving for itself the right to under
mine. If possible. the governments of
not have the respect of any one under
such conditions.
The strength of the Soviet govern
ment in Russia has been found in the
opposition to that government which
came from neighboring states. 1t has
been able to make the Russian peas
ant believe that the world was com.
bining against Russia. Once the
Russian people become convinced,
however, that the present dictatorship
of the Soviet is in itself more repres.
sive than the old czarist regime, they
will arise.

An American Boy and His Mother.

An American boy and his mother,
Side by side they rode up Pennsyl-
vania avenue yesterday. escorted by
representative troops OF the Amer
lean Army and Navy, to be greeted
at the Washington Monument by the
President. 1t was a proud hour for
them. and proud for the people who
cheered them. For they represented
America at its best. character. cour-
age. fidelity to ideals OF conduct.
The boy? He had Just performed
a wonderful feat of skill and daring
a feat that thrilled the world. He
had been acclaimed as hero by France.
by Belgium and by England, had
been feted and honored by the great
est personages of those lands. and
he had returned with the same
simple modesty of demeanor that has
characterized him throughout his
life. He was on his way to receive
the cross OF distinction from the
hands of the Chief Executive, and in
his heart was still the question he
asked on the cruiser Memphis as he
neared the shores of his home land,
do l deserve all this?"
The mother? A woman who has
given 10 the world a splendid son.
who has trained him finely. who has
Impaired to him the qualities of
simple greatness. who has so guided
aim that in his triumph of high
achievement he remains true to the
best principles of life.
That picture of the two riding to
the scene of great honor should go
forth to all the land, to every
American. to demonstrate the fact
that character after all is the SUI
preue achievement, to emphasize the
Vital importance of sound training.
Of the example of honest living
given for the direction of the young
people by their parents.
Lindbergh's father was such man
as. the son is now, an earnest, dill
gent, sincere worker for what he be-
lieved to be the right. He was an
idealist His life was honorable and
straight. From him the boy got his
courage, for the elder Lindbergh
never faltered in his service for his
country, daring greatly to do what
he believed to be for the best,
though at times in the face Of hos
fifty and criticism, which eventually
bore him down, but without yielding
in his principles.
Let that feature of yesterdays i'm
pSessive reception to the returning
aviator become the keynote of all the
adulation that may be given to the
young American who has so splen-
didly represented his country in his
recent achievement. Let not the fact
be forgotten that he is the son of a
father and mother who regarded
their parenthood as a high trust. to be
discharged by faithful service in the
rearing and training Of their child

u. S. Allows Treaties
OF Arbitration to Lapse
BY DREW PEARSON.

Foreign Minister Brands proposal
that the United States and France
join in a treaty for the outlawry Of
war has drawn attention to the fact
that while Europe has recently nego
tiated rs treaties for pacific settle
ment. the United States has allowed
IS arbitration treaties to become dor
mant through failure to appoint arbi-
tration commissioners, while IL others
have lapsed through failure to renew
them.
The United States has experienced
two periods when arbitration and
peace treaties were popular. One was
in 10000, when Elihu Root negotiated
25 arbitration treaties. The other
was in 1914, when William Jennings
Bryan concluded 30 treaties "for the
advancement Of peace"
OF the 20 Root treaties only % ever
came into force, while IL Of these
were not renewed and therefore have
expired. OF the 80 Bryan treaties q
are now in force, but only 3 of
these could be made Immediately ef-
fective. This is due to the fact that
the commissions for carrying out the
arbitration called for in the treaties
are not complete.
This fact was brought out most

proposal for a new peace treaty, when
the State Department intimated that
no such treaty was necessary since
two agreements already existed
with France calling for pacific settle
ment. But when Secretary Kellogg
was questioned as to whether or not
the arbitration commission provided
for in the treaty was in existence. he
admitted that he did not know. Sub
sequent search in the files Of the
State Department revealed the fact
that practically no one knew whether
the French-American arbitration com.
mission was complete, nor whether
the commissions with 20 other coun.
tries were complete. Finally, it was
disclosed that the French-American
commission had become ineffective
due to the death Of one member, Rich.
ard Olney, making the commission in

States; Louis Renault, French jurist;

While the country is echoing with
the applause for one of It's returning
heroes OF the air. the reflection Of the
stimulating influence OF the speetacu'
lar transatlantic flights already Is
being felt by the aeronautics branch
Of the Department OF Commerce. in
dealing with commercial aviation IN
quiries and projects.
10 those who have believed that the
United States ~ tagging in the devel-
opment Of aviation, the information
may DO news that the Department OF
Commerce has listed 5s5 Air Service
operators, including all classes. and
that there are In operation 1s definite
lines In this country using 1874 planes
on fixed schedules. This includes air
mail lines, all Of which will be In

proximately $4,000, 900 population with
more than 200 planes flying II, 500
miles daily. according to estimates
which have been made by William p.
MacCracken. jr., Assistant Secretary
Of Commerce for Aeronautics.
In 1926, more than 23.300.00 miles
we're flown by airplanes in the United
States. including all forms of flying
excepting military, which would
account for 25,OO0,000 miles more If
taken into consideration.
Estimates by the Department of
Commerce show that 676,567 passen-
gers were carried for hire by American
airplanes last year, in addition to
which 94,353 were carried free. Freight
and express matter carried for pay
last year by airplanes totaled 41s,000
pounds. Beyond this, 4,466 students
were trained in aviation by the use
of civil planes.
There were in service in 1926 in the
United States 1886 planes outside of
the Army, Navy and Coast Guard.
Along the Is regular airways, 1914
planes, operating on regular SEIZED
ules, maintained mileage aggregating
4,474, 900.

the Federal Government has taken
concrete steps for the encouragement
and the control of commercial avia-
