WASHINGTON, oct. 28.-Three
difficult problems, at least, will con-
front President Roosevelt and Soviet
Foreign Minister Maxim Litvinoff
when they meet here next month to
discuss the terms of Russian rec
ognition.
But these problems are not con-
sidered insurmountable. Mr.. Roose-
welt referred to them in his recent
letter to Litvinoff as serious but
not insoluble."
The problems are:
l. Communist propaganda in the
United States.
2. Claims of each government
against the other.
3. Methods of stimulating trade.
No Propaganda Danger
The question of propaganda, it is
expected, can be disposed of during
the talks here. On the other two
problems, Mr.. Roosevelt and Lit
vinoff probably will seek only a
method of settlement.
Administration leaders appear to
have no fear that Russian en-
baSsy and consulates in the United
States would be used as propaganda
centers. The days when the Amer
lean public could be frightened by
"red scare" are gone
The recent investigation of the
Hamilton Fish committee showed
that there we're only 10000 dues
paying members of the Communist
party in America. The report said
that the Communist movement had
made no progress in the A. F. of L.,
the army and navy, the schools or
among the Negroes.
Soviet Ready to Sign
Yet the Soviet Union, its officials
say, is ready to sign an agreement
that each nation will abstain from
interference with the domestic af-
fairs of the other.
The problem of debts and claims
is more complicated. United States
claims against Russia are these:
Cd, A U. S. treasury loan advanced
to the KerenSky provisional govern
ment in 1917, principal $187, 1000 900,
interest $135, 900; (2) the debt
of the Russian imperial government
to American private banks, $85 ,000,-
600; and 90 claims of American
citizens for property conf1Scated by
Russia, about $400,OOO,OO0. These
total about $780,, 100000.
Debt Settlement Claimed
Although Russia originally repu-
dated all obligations contracted by
"capitalistic governments" pre-
deceSsors- least two responsible
spokesman, former Foreign Minister
Chickerin and Litvinoff have indi-
Gated their willingness to negotiate
a settlement of the American claims.
On its side, however, Russia has
intimated it will have claims to put
forward for property destroyed by
American troops in Russia at a time
when the two nations were not at
war. Under pressure from the al
lies, President Wilson sent 1000
troops under Major General William
S. Graves into Siberia and another
expedition to Archangel to guard
military stores and perform other
missions. The American soldiers
had several clashes with Russian
troops.
The American private claims
probably will be referred to a COM
mission. Assent of congress would
be required to reduce the Russian
war debt or compensate Russia for
property damages. On these sub
jectS, the President can agree only
to recommend to congress.
The third problem is the f1nanc-
ing of trade. The RFC now is con-
sidering plan for advance credits
for Russian purchases here.

The sorry spectacle of the Federal Government exacting
profit from the children Of the District help balance its
budget is Of the amazing revelations the deporabe
situation which surrounds the citys swimming pools
The Federal Government in effect tells the citys children
that they cannot swim in the pools which parents paid
for unless they themselves pay fee sufficiently large

The Welfare and Recreaonal Association operating the
Mckinley High School pool made profit of more than
$1,000 last season by charging adults 25 cents children

This charge made pool built by District taxpayers
presumably for the entertainment and education their chill

This is only of the many absurdes of the swimming

The Washington Times.

Department should operate pools District Play

All the pools should be free children if not to adults

A building of great interest
in the Kashbah is that which

400 years ago and was once

Algiers itself is an alluring
city with the gleam of white
domed mosques, of palaces and
cathedrals slanted against the
ever-blue sky. Nesting on the
hills are white villas set in
gardens ablaze with flowers
that sway to the tune of the
tinkling of tiny fountain.
There are smart hotels and a
casino that is the last word in
smart and pulsating elegance.
It is difficult to believe that a
few steps from the casino are
the narrow, steep streets that
wind up to the KaShbah.

hungry, cheated men are once
more fighting for their rights.
But they are no longer fighting
aimlessly, ignorantly. They are
fighting with weapons which
ragged men have never had
before.
You and I, partner-the
workers of 1933-have informa-
ton and training which even
those victorious Master Minds
of those other revolutions did
not possess. We, ourselves,
have built this world in which
we are living, and we know
what it's all about. We read
daily papers. We are educated
in free public schools. We
listen to nightly radio broad
casts. We know all the tricks,
and we have the technique.
B Mt? Sure we are. All of
us worried and mad. Many of
us homeless, hungry, ragged.
Bent? Yes. BUT NOT BROKEN!
For though the power that
were could strip us of our
money, our jobs and our
chance, THEY COULDN'T
STRIP US OF OUR MAKINGS!
AND NEVER BEFORE HAVE
FIGHTERS FACED A WAR
WITH SUCH GRIM AND
GLORIOUS MAKINGS!
For this IS war, and we are
fighters. But we no longer
fight as ignorant under dogs.
We fight as men-as free men
fight for the world which they
have made.
AND WE HAVE THE MAX
INGS OF VICTORY!
Remember that, when things
seem desperate-when life seems
to have lost all pride, and
power, and purpose. You Suf-
fer; yes. But you do not suffer
as an individual failure; as a
shameful derelict. You suffer
as soldier suffers-for a great
cause. 49,.
Rags and hungry bellies are
dreary things, humiliating ex-
hibits, in times of plenty. BUT
THEY ARE CHALLENGING
THINGS. AS HONORABLE AS
MEDALS, WHEN THEY ARE
INCURRED IN A BATTLE
FOR ALL HUMANITY!
Lift up your head! Lift it
up above your own wounds,
your own losses. These are
tremendous days!
We are not on the Skids.
We are in the trenches. This
is not "just another depres-
sion" You are not "just one
of the unemployed" You are
part Of the most powerful Of
fenSive the world has ever
known.
Be proud of that! Accept
your pain as a brave man ac-
ceptS the inevitable hardship
of the trenches. The hour
has come! Get ready to go
over the top!
THIS is OUR WAR! LET'S
GO!

Treasure Lure

But it's gold-lost, sunken
gold-that Simon Lake has
in mind as he works upon
his newest baby; the gold Of
the Lusitania, far down in
the green deep off the old
Head of Kinsale; the gold
of scores of wrecked treas
ure ships. His lifelong
dreams have centered around
this object-snatching from
Davy Jones the gold stolen
from dead and living.
But Simon Lake was not
the inventor of the SUBJ
marine. That distinction
goes to Robert Fulton, who
designed the first practic-
able machine in 1900.
1t wasn't the German but
the French navy that made
submarines a real factor in
naval warfare. The French
had a fleet as far back as
1901. But it was not until
the World War that a full
realization came of what a
frightful weapon a submarine
can be. On September %,
1914, the world was stirred as
it seldom had been before by
the shock Of the news that
one small German undersea
boat, the U-9, had sunk, in
less than an hours time,
three great British cruisers,
the Cressy, Hogue and Abou-
kir, with a loss of 1,40O
drowned men.

There's more kick in life for

There have been depressions
before in human history, revo-
lutionS bloody affairs,
which seemed to result in vic
tory for the under dog. But the
victory never lasted. It never
lasted, because the under dog
could only think and fight like
a dog. He was not prepared
to think and fight like a man.
So the Master Minds, on the
aristocratic shoulders, took the
under dogs victory away almost
as soon as he had gained it.
And now we are in the
midst of another depression,
another revolution. But the
picture is changed. Ragged,

Lusitania

The next shock came with
the news that the Lusitania,
the fastest ship that sailed
the sea, had been sent plung-
ing to the bottom off the
Irish coast, taking with her
in her tragic end 1000 men,
women and children, hurled
from warmth and cheer and
laughter into terror and the
agonies of parting and dread
full death from which there
was no escape.
All so useless and so fatal
even to the ambitions of the
power which employed the
weapon. For unrestricted
use of the submarine brought
the United States into the
war, brought the imperial
German government crash
ing down in ruins, and
brought misery and humilia-
tion to the German people.

Hitler Spectre

Peace, permanent peace, is
a great ideal, but it seems
that any approach to it is
impossible with the world in
such commotion, in such fear
and apprehension, as exists
today. The spectre of Hitler
in Germany, as he shouts for
the destruction Of the Treaty
Of Versailles, is enough to
ruin any peace conference
and disarmament hopes.
Poland, Rumania, Czecho-
slovakia, Jugoslavia and a
half dozen other smaller ma
tions are the children of the
Treaty of Versailles. They
exist because of the Treaty
of Versailles. They would
fight to the death to main
tain that treaty in every i'm
portant article. What chance
has the ideal of permanent
peace in a world so tense and
nervous with the fear of to-
morrow?

Lake Invents

1t was Simon Lake who
perfected his first success
full submarine boat 38 years
ago, in Pleasantville, N. J.
He was captivated by Jules
Verne s "Twenty Thousand
Leagues Under the Sea"
one Of the most remarkable
anticipations of a mechani-
cal miracle that was ever
put into imaginative fiction.
Twenty years later Simon
Lake was trying out his
first submarine. Since that
time he has built many
undersea torpedo boats for
the United States and for
foreign governments.
Only a little while ago, in
New York waters, this. man

The Submarine

At Geneva, therefore, no
nation was willing TO relin-
quish any powerful weapon
which it considered espe-
cially suited to it's own needs.
Every effort to abolish the
submarine failed. If the six
gun Of Colonel Colt made all
men equal, the submarine has
come as near as any major
military weapon could do to
make all nations equal. No
war machine Of land or sea
has ever inspired such terror
and mystery as the steel wolf
which prowls under the sur
face Of the sea turning one
fierce eye, like the eye of
Cyclops, this way and that
for helpless victims.

Nv TEMPLE MANNING

THE GREATEST charm a
city can offer is contrasts. And
this charm Algiers has in abun-
dance. Surely there could be
no two thoroughfares so thor
oughly different as the Boule-
ward de Ia Republique and the
Rue de la Kashbah, principal
street of the native quarter of
Algiers.
The two streets tell the story
Of the ,old town, as nothing
else could. The boulevard,
wide and handsome, winds
along the water front and
looks the $15,OO0,0O0 that it
cost to build. The Rue de la
Kashbah, although the princi-
pal street of the native quarter,
is barely wide enough to allow
more than two persons to walk
abreast at one time. 1t leads
up to the citadel and the
houses of whitewaShed stone,
which seem to have no ap-
parent means of ventilation.

Disarmament Conference Futile-Nations Keep

French First-Lusitania,
By EdUin C.. Hill

The disarmament confer
ence of Geneva, after nearly
two years of futile talk, folds
up it's tents and steals away
though not quite SO silently
as the Arabs.
For nearly two years ma
tionalistic points of view col
lided with the dreams of in
ternationalism. The irresist-
ible force collided with the
immovable body. In other
words, no nation was willing
to surrender a kind or type
of armament or military
weapon which it considered
necessary to its own protec-
tion in this disordered world.

Exile Ponders

Altogether, 278 submarines
were destroyed during the
war - sunk by gunfire or
depth bombs, or trapped in
steel nets-and of these, 205
belonged to Germany. A ter
rible price to pay for the
Cressy, the Hogue and the
Aboukir, for the Lusitania
and all the other victims Of
the wolf of the sea!
Per h a ps that thought
comes sometimes to the
white bearded exile of
Doom, as he pauses in his
wood-chopping, leaning on
his ak, to send his gaze to-
ward the western horizon, to-
ward the ocean that ruined
him.
