Recognition of Russia.

Senator Borat has re-introduced In
the Senate his resolution in favor Of
American recognition OF Soviet Russia.
The resolution does not specifically pro-
vide for recognition, for that is not
within the prerogative Of the Senate. It
merely sets forth that 1t is the sense Of
the Senate that diplomatic relations
should be established between Moscow
and Washington.
The accomplished chairman of the
foreign relations committee is not a
Communist. He Is not remotely tinged
with bolshevist contamination. Sena-
tor Borah is neither "red" nor pink"
His position is clear and simple.
He holds that the United States
would do better to recognize the
Soviet and negotiate with it afterwards.
rather than perpetuating the policy of
chronic ostracism, which. in the
Idahoan's opinion, is getting nowhere.
The foreign relations chairman does not
deny the soundness of our specific diff
ferences with Russia, but believes that
these are more likely to be ironed out
by meeting the Soviet than by boycott
ting ii.
Three Presidents and three Secre-
taries of State in ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
", Presidents Wilson, Harding ana
coolidge. and Secretaries Colby, Hughes
and Kellogg-have resolutely opposed
recognition of Russia under existing
conditions. Their opposition was main
tanned with consistency unusual un-
der the American governmental system,
in which foreign policies so often huc-
tuate with changes of administration.
It cannot be that all these Presidents
and Secretaries of State were wrong,
and only Mr.. Borah right.
In a nutshell, the United States de-
clines relations with Soviet Russia Cd
because that government. as now con-
trolled, defies and fouts the rights and
sanctity of private property, including,
in particular, foreign rights and prop
erty, and ca because there is steadily
and stubbornly maintained abroad, in
Guiding this country, subversive propa-
randa of Enthusiastically Russian COM
munist origin. Addressing the Congress
of the Daughters Of the American ReVo-
luton this week, that pre-eminent au-
thority on Russia, the Rev. Edmund A.
walsh. branded the Soviet Union as
"the directing force and the vanguard
of the international Socialist revolu-
ton. designed to abolish by force OF
arms the Constitution Of the United
States"
Americas recognition terms have been
laid on Moscow's table times without
number. They have never been found
acceptable. They call, In essence. for
remuneration of the principle Of prop
erty confiscation and Of Communist
agitation on American soil. President
Hoover has not yet taken occasion to
disclose his administrations attitude
toward Russia. But he made his own
position apparent on many occasions
while Secretary of Commerce. Unless
the Soviet leopard has changed his
spots, In so far as they cover the funda-
mentals hereinbefore alluded to, there
is little prospect that the Hoover adj
nlinistration will be found any more
cordially inclined toward Soviet recog-
milton than its three predecessors,
which consistently cold-shouldered the
red czars of the Kremlin.

Reaction to the Five-Year Budget.

The reaction of the Board Of Trade
to Auditor Donovans five-year finan-
cial program for the District Is indica-
tive of an attitude that will become
general as the plan undergoes further
study by the various civic organizations.
The Board of Trade feels that this pro-
posed budget is an excellent demon
stration of the inadequacy Of the pres
ent fiscal partnership between the Cap
ital community and the Federal Gov
eminent. Instead of being budget
that shows how the District may obtain
needed improvements IN the next flve
wears. the budget merely indicates the
possible manner of expanding the rev.
enue that, under the existing tax rate
plus the nine million-dollar lump sum,
would be available to the District. The
conclusion reached by study OF the
figures points out that only one-four-
tenth of the available revenues In the
next five years will be available for
capital expenditures. The remainder
is necessary merely to maintain the
District.
Auditor Donovan estimates that ap-
proximately thirty-two millions OF dol
lars worth of improvements will have
to 20 by the board under the five-year
budget plan that he outlines. The
Board of Trade points out that this
figure is more nearly forty million, and
to substantiate its calculations the
board is now directing its various COM
mittees to make a thorough survey OF
the unmet needs In their respective
fields and to submit estimates Of what
Is required to meet these needs.
The Board Of Trades suggestion is
that the District draw up a five-year
budget, not, as Auditor Donovan has
done. on the revenue available under
the existing unsatisfactory system OF
fiscal relations, but on the basis Of the
needs of the District for the next i've
years. There would then be shown a
deficit, arising through the failure OF
District revenue plus a lump sum OF
nine million dollars, to meet the bill.
This deficit, 1t will be maintained,
should be met by the United States.
And it is probable that the deficit will
be found to approximate that amount
which, under the lawful sixty-forty sys-
TEN of apportionment, the Federal Gov
eminent would be paying.
The fve-year budget, suggested In
one form by the Board Of Trade and
drawn up In another by Auditor Dono-
van, may be of little use to the District
except as a guide to the committees
of Congress and as conveniently assem-
bled information for the enlightenment
of the Budget Bureau. The Federal
Government has not yet gone beyond
the one-year budget, and the practice
for the District will be governed by &C
cepted practice for the Federal Govern
ment. But Mr.. Donovan's budget plan
constitutes another excellent brief for
the District in its argument that the
Federal Government is not carrying It's
proper share Of the load. It should
certainly be submitted to the commit
tees Of Congress, together with the sup
Elementary material which will be as
sembled by the Board Of Trade and
other civic bodies invited by the Com
nissioners to express their views and to
make suggestions.
