conferences are concerned, there will

ture exposed to the eye Of the future
historian. But, after all, we repeat the
legend on the coat of arms Of the
Washington family, 'It is the result
that proves the work." Within less than
"a hours after the President had ac-
corded recognition the result of the
work which had been devoted to sub
ject Of great magnitude was announced
to the public at the White House on
the afternoon of November II. The an
nouncement was made by the President,
and before the sun sank behind the
Blue Ridge Mountains west of this city
there had been communicated to the
American public the final texts Of the
agreements obtained by the President
in the form Of exchange of notes.
To avoid misconception, those agree
ments, which have been widely printed,
deserve the careful study Of all our
people, who have felt concerned as to
what might happen. They unmistak-

some 26 other governments, including
Great Britain, France, Italy and Ger

was not what the President contem-
plated and that it was their duty to
ascertain and enumerate all Of the
matters as to which the President
might require agreements concurrent
with and as a basis of recognition. It
would seem from all the evidence now
available that although the Presidents S

tation, the Soviet authorities assumed

whether to take the first step or to

that the formula acquiesced in by other
nations, that recognition should pre-
cede discussion, would receive the
Presidents acquiescence. But 1t was
soon understood by every one that the
negotiation was to be conducted not
according to the Soviet formula. but ac-
cording to the formula laid down by the
President. The Presidents wise formula
of agreement on outstanding questions
first and recognition second has been
applied In but few former instances,
but its application in this instance Mr..
Roosevelt deemed essential.

representatives come to Washington for
the purpose of discussing with him all
questions outstanding between the two
countries. He stressed the importance
Of those questions by referring to the
difficulties and problems that had
arisen as being serious, although per-
haps not insoluble. The clear impi-
cation of the letter was that the con-
versations he invited and the effort to
dispose Of the difficulties and problems
must precede any act Of recognition.

purpose, to which any strictly material
question, such as the settlement of debts,
was altogether ancillary.
Agreement on Propaganda.
There was an agreement touching the
matter Of subversive propaganda. Dur
ing the 16-year period of non-recogni-
ton it had been Urged that the Soviet
government was encouraging and
financing really dangerous Communist
activities, having as their objective the
destruction or impairment of existing
systems Of government in this and other
nations. On the other hand, it had
been urged that whatever might be the
inclination Of the Soviet government
in that regard, it was too remote from
this country and without the resources
to enable it to affect our institutions.

in some quiet, restful spot away from
the turmoil of the Federal Capital. 1t
quently during the Summers Of his ad-
ministrations, evidently when the heat
of the city began to tell on him, he
would take up his residence in cottage
within the United States Soldiers Home
grounds in this CITY,
The Capital City was not so large and
sprawling in those grim days of the
war, and the Soldiers Home was looked

upon then as being far out in the coun-
try. The cottage, which has since been
enlarged and is now the residence of
the superintendent of the home, was
situated on a prominence of ground
affording an inspiring panorama, and
was in a cool grove of tall shade trees.
During one of his Summers Mr.. Lin
coin actually set up a Summer White
House within this modest frame struc-
ture. He carried on his work there and
housed some of his Office staff nearby.

Several of his Office chairs and the desk

Sometimes Mr. Lincoln would take up
quarters on one of ths Government
boats and cruise down the Potomac.
Such excursions afforded not only di-
version and change of air and scenery,
but gave the war President an oppor-
tunity to inspect some of the Federal
bases and forts and to hold conferences
with his field generals.
The records regarding Andrew john
sons Summers are not at all enllghten-
ing. The impression is that he enjoyed
going back to his home in Grenville,
Tenn, and that he took advantage of
the dull Summer period to make these
visits.
Like Theodore Roosevelt. Franklin
Roosevelt, Wilson, and Taft, and James
A. Garfield, President Grant loved the
smell of the salt air and he generally
spent his Summers at Long Branch, on
the Jersey Coast. Surrounded by his
large family in large frame home
facing the beach and with a wide We
randa running around the entire house,
he enjoyed his Long Branch vacation.
Then, too, he liked bathing in the surf
and is said to have seldom missed
day Of this sort of sport.
President Garfield was sauntering
through the Pennsylvania Railroad Sta
ton, on Sixth street, that blistering Sum-
mer day, to board a train to take him
to Long Branch, N j., to enjoy vaca-
ton with his family, who had gone on
ahead of him, when he was struck down
by an assassin's bullet. 1t was to that
seashore home that the wounded PreSi-
dent was taken some weeks later with
the hope that the sea air would aid in
his recovery, but where he finally
passed on.
President Rutherford B. Hayes was
one of those Presidents who preferred
his own home to any other place for
vacation spot. Therefore, when he found
it convenient to leave the White House
during a Summer lull, he joined his
family at his Fremont, Ohio, home.
Benjamin Harrison was another of
these home lovers. At least he derived
more pleasure visiting his home in In
dianapolis than going to some resort or
remote spot in the Summer.
William Mckinley did go to Lake
George, NJ Y, one Summer and to Lake
Champlain, little farther up the State,
another Summer, but he made it plain
that he was happiest at his home in the
business section of Canton, Ohio, and
he never failed to take advantage of an
opportunity to enjoy visit to his home
town.
A CCORDING to all authorities Grover
Cleveland was unquestionably the
the champion presidential fisherman.
His happiest moments were spent at this
sport He frequently would steal away
from his desk and with a companion or
two get little boat and fish the waters
of the Potomac. Sometimes he would
fish up near Great Falls and in the
canal. But when Summer came around
he would 60 to the estate of an old
friend on Buzzards Bay and spend long
periods angling. Frequently on such
excursions Joseph Jefferson, famous
actor of those days, was his fishing COM
panion. Mr. Cleveland spent one Sum-
mer at Woodley, the present home OF
former Secretary of State Stimson. He
later purchased an attractive, rambling
