Watch Mighty Russia.
Our Poor Old Dollar.
Young Filler.

Whatever our naughty American
opinion Of Bolshevik government there
Is no doubt that Russia is the most in
teresting country on earth today, the
most uncertain in possibilities, and one
that other nations should watch close
ly.
Our Admiral Fiske warns Europe
that Russia Is aiming at war, and rep
resents IAN actual threat to overwhelm
Europe"
This, says Admiral Fiske, is mot the
weak threat of weak and purposeless
nation, but the threat of a strong ma
ton, which governs larger number of
! contiguous square miles than any other
nation in the world" And Russia, Ad-
miral Fiske reminds you, Is mot only
strong. but fanatical." Much power in
fanaticism, as Europe learned from
revolutionary France. Admiral Fiske
speaks Of Russia as Mirabeau did of
Robespierre, HE will succeed, for he
believes all he says" Russia believes
all she says, whatever we may believe.

Why the United States refuses to
recognize the government Of Russia is
a puzzle to many Americans. We may
not like their Bolshevik government,
but they do not like our Capitalistic
government, as they call 1t. That is no
reason for not selling them goods, and
giving work to Americans. The Lord
certainly didn't put US on earth to regu-
late nations across the ocean, or tell
them how to run their government.
Russian scientists supply interesting
facts about their trip eleven and half
miles up into the air, sitting in q car
of aluminium, lifted upward by q huge
gas bag. Outside the car in which the
scientists worked, the thermometer
registered eighty-nine degrees below
zero. Inside the car, they suffered
from a heat eighty-six degrees above,

q hundred and seventy-five degrees in

All of us travel through space. pro-

ing with the dollar and business condi-
tons in the country. When the dollar
was kicked OF the gold basis there
must have been some plan back of that

it? Why not let the people know?
You are told now that the dollar may
be put back onto the gold basis. That
may not be so easily done, with all the

Of the Government, II any, it ought to
let the American people know.
Some Of them still think 1t il their
Government and that they are entitled
to information. Vacillation, too pro-
longed, too many strikes, too many
theories, too much brain trust with too
little decisive consecutive action might
create conditions not pleasant, either
for people interested in prosperity, or
Democrats interested in reelection.
