WE DO NOT WANT A WAR.

WE do not want another war We do not
w know anybody, except a few reck-
less boys and some OF the people who sell
things to fight with, who wants the United
States to 90 to war again. Yet we hear peo-
pie on the street, talking about the ruckus
over in China, speak as if they thought 1t
would bring back our national prosperity
quickly if this country took hand III the
fracas
In the first place, its none OF our bust
ness, so far We have read or heard moth
ing abuot the Japan China affair which re-
motely suggests the possibility that our
country has or is likely to have any griev-
ance against either of the fighting nations
sufficient to justify us in declaring war.
War is a more serious business than un-
thinking youth regards it. Our govern
ment's duty in the case begins and ends with
protecting the lives and interests of Amer-
cans IN China and Japan, and IN urging the
combatants, under the terms Of treaties
with them to which we are party, to sub
NIT their differences to impartial arbitra-
tors. So far as we can see, the authorities
at Washington are keeping their heads cool
and doing all that American interests re-
quire them to do.
War does not bring prosperity, but the
opposite. Our grandchildren won't finish
paying for the last war we were in. for pref
ty nearly hundred years to come All our
present troubles arise from that war. We
would be the last to hold back If any
foreign power threatened our national in
terests, tried to take away from us anything
which we have got. We are not pacifists.
But we think that all the talk about Amer
lea getting into this little scrap between two
yellow races is irresponsible nonsense.

RUSSIA FACING DISASTER.

EARLY III December statements were
l. given out for publication in American
newspapers to the effect that the Russian
Soyiets had decided to restrict orders for
machinery and other things from this coun-
try for the reason that the United States
was not buying from Russia The state
mcnts undoubtedly were sent out from Rus
sian propaganda sources and were of course
intended to influence sentiment in this
country favorable to recognition of the
Soviets and more liberal trade relations
with them
But now from an authentic and author
|itative source comes the statement that the
reason Russia has not been placing more
orders here is because she hasn't the money
with which to buy. In page article in the
Baltimore American Of recent date Frank
Z. Downs, an authority on the subject, dis
cusses the whole Russian situation He

points out the fact that today Russia's cur
roncy is utterly worthless abroad and prac-
ticallv valueless within her own borders.
She has used the cash from foreign sales Ia
buying goods in America, but this supply IS
now exhausted and the Russian govern
ment is facing complete financial collapse.
That is why the Soviet already has released
one half of her American engineers and will
release more, though high officials confess

frankly that they need them badly.
That is why purchases in America have
dropped $50 in nine months and must drop
further, for the thing the Soviet leaders
covet above all else is American mechanical
ton. The truth seems to be that the Rus
sian nation, supposed to be menacing world
trade by her efficiency and services, actu-
ally is waging desperate battle for finan-
cial survival

PERSONAL FEELING SHOULD NOT
AFFECT CHOICE OF PUBLIC
! OFFICIALS.

IT HERE is one weakness in almost every
form OF democratic government. That
weakness is that the electorate-in which
is reposed such supreme poWer-is SO prone
to let their emotions run away with their
Judgment In the election of officials.
Observers of present day conditions are
agreed that that weakness is apt to mani
fest itself to a regrettablc extent i'll the elec-
tons this fall.
That is too bad, for there is scarcely
anything OF more Importance III all the
gamut Of human experience than that the
choice OF public officials should be made
with calm Judgment and devoid Of rancour
and personal feeling
In every time Of pronounced business
depression it seems natural human char
acterlstic to blame all the woes through
which the world may be passing onto those
who happen to be III power at the time. AS
q result OF that human failing, President
Hoover and the republican party will face
an unfriendly attitude by vast number Of
citizens during the fall campaign and at the
election This attitude will prevail in spite
OF the fact that the depression is a world
wide experience for which no one man or
body OF men are responsible Unless general
business conditions improve greatly be-
tween now and election time the republi-
cans will have difficulty in convincing the
voters that they should be returned to
power
This dissatisfaction with present condi-
tons Is manlfesting itself in one way by de-
handing that there be reduction in taxes.
That is healthy sign if the demand IS ac-
companled with good Judgment However.
1T IS not possible to reduce taxes il the pco-
pie continually petition the govern
ment for more expenditures. If. the tax
payer wants his taxes reduced, he must re-
alize that he must be willing to accept reduc-
ton IN money voted for his favorite project
and that he likewise must do without many
public conveniences that he now receives.
We are all interested in honest and eco
nonlical government, and in striving to pro
cure the right kind Of government and in
choosing our public officials, we ought to
approach the problem devoid of personal

\ The hubbub over the Presidential

casual interest among the men and

Our
Washington
Letter
BY THE NATIONAL EDITORIAL
ASSOCIATION
Especial to The Western News)

Especial to The Western NeWs)
WASHINGTON, February 16.-Leg-
islation of the utmost Importance to
our national life is now pending before
the Congress. Oddly enough, the rank
and file of citizens do not give these
economic and financial matters the at
tention that is accorded an ordinary
ball game. Only the more thoughtful
folks realize that III various measures
of unemployment relief and liberaliza-
ton of credit facilities are interviewer
our, immediate present and above all
the early future. The concern of sane
thinkers is directed at the country's
prospects In event current plans for
general recovery fall short of the mark
The most promising aspect of the whole
situation, politically and economically,
is the tardy awakening of the national
legislators to the gravity of the nations
needs
The bipartisan bill to expand credit
facilities will probably be enacted into
law within a few days. 1t would be a
daring and foolhardy legislator who
would oppose any general agreement
on the part of the administration and
the legislative branch especially de-
signed to fortify banking institutions
against ever increasing failures. The
various measures for unemployment re-
lief are obviously not preferred" leg
islation. There is no doubt that relief
bills have now become a football Of
politics and therein lies the danger to
the distressed groups of citizens. The
Senate, having disposed of one phase
Of the unemployment controversy, must
await an adjustment with the House Of
Representatives These relief proposals
will have their flare backs in the pri-
maries and elections In states where
| the present incumbents are confronted
with inter-party fights for renomina-
| ton the votes this week will probably
bring newcomers to the next Congress
in 1883.
