Ambassador Troyanovsky would fit ad-

is that, forgetting doctrinal wars, Rus
sia was going TO get in close with
the nations which have credit and
raw materials to dispense, and it hap
pens that these. incidentally, are the
democratic powers-England, France
and the United States OF America.
Therefore, these unbelievable con-
spiracy trials and confessions amount
to a show-window reputation of world
communism and a fervent embrace
Of the democratic ideal-with snappy

tance between the grand salon Of the
old rococco Russian Embassy and
Union Square has widened immeas-
urably. The swank Of his opening re-
ception sat tea-cup juggling Washing
ton back on its heels.
AS youth he was an officer In the
Russo japanese War. With other Of
flcers he became involved in anti
czarist conspiracies. After the war he
was sent to Siberia. He came under
the influence of Lenin. Hiding in
Paris, at IL Rue Vale de Grace. he
corresponded with Lenin in invisible
ink, and wrote pamphlets for circula-

That was Troyanovsky. 1t still is.
Later. in 1918, he was arrested as a
Menshevik. one of the now increasing
number of Russians who have been
jailed by both Czarists and revolu-
tionaries. In 1922 he was reinstated
as a member of the Communist party.
but he is nowhere on record as be-
lieving in Communism. Before Lenin'S
death, he had come in close touch
with Stain, and the two were firm
friends.
From then on. his place in the
"macht politik" wing Of Russian
diplomacy was fixed. He spent five
years at Toxic. Before going to
Washington, in 1888, he remarked to
friend: Communism? Why the
government wouldn't allow me to even
speak to a Communist" Years ago,
he turned his controversial guns on
Trotzky. There is nothing casual or
desultory in his repudiation of doctri-
naire Communism at this moment.

tionalist, Mr.. Hornbeck is q provoca-
tive combination of thoughtful aloof-
ness and ready humor.
Problems of diplomacy to Stanley
Hornbeck are questions of relations
between peoples. Day-by-day con-
facts among the high and lowly have
given him the psychology Of individuals
rather than that Of the machinery OF
government He makes these prob
lens of nations as human as those Of
individuals.

somnolescence, decadence. Like trees

only to lie fallow again as conditions
change.
Since 1850 Japan. cloistered in the
earlier centuries, has had an innate
urge to press forward, take her place
among the fraternity of western ma
tions. China, on the other hand, fol-
lowed late. Who knows what the pres
ent struggle Of emerged and emerging
Titans may bring? Mr.. Hornbeck can
correlate conflicting forces, suspect.
He refuses to speak for publication.
He merely says of the Far Eastern sit
uation, Il am in a clinch. I have no
elbow room to discuss it."
Looking backward MIR. Hornbeck
whimsically says that preparation for
his present job began when a Holland
ancestor came up the Hudson River
about 1860. A pioneer inheritance of
changing scenes has led Hornbeck
into new projects, new associations.
Born in Franklin. Mass, in 1883, he
spent his youth III the frontier atmos-
phere of Colorado. Graduated from
the Universities of Denver, oxford,
Wisconsin, he has served on university
faculties both in the United States and
in the Far East. A distinguished lee
turer, writer, special Government ex-
pert on various COMMISSIONS and con-
ferences, Mr.. Hornbeck has brought
to the Government by contact. study
and travel first-hand konwledge of
past, present and future problems that
augurs well for reasonable and con-
structive American focus.
Evening star., 1937-09-21

have on the court a man who Is
on their side as Mr.. Black is, but who
lacks the taint Mr.. Black has.
Mr. Black is man whom Mr. Roose-
velt would not have appointed had he
known what he now knows-that is,
had he foreseen the uproar of protest
that has now arisen. Mr.. Roosevelt
may have known, indeed must have
known, of Mr.. Blacks association with
the Klan, because the newspapers and
the Senate debate discussed it re-
peatedly. But it is probable Mr.. Roose-
velt did not know the association was
as close as revelations now show it to
have been. And it is certain Mr.
Roosevelt did not foresee the public
uproar that has now arisen.
Sees Facts Concealed.
Mr.. Black is man who obtained
his appointment presumably, and his
Senate confirmation certainly, by con-
cealment of a material fact.
Mr.. Black is man who, previous
to his taking the oath as justice of
the Supreme Court, had taken prior
tdtu utterly III COlIllCb WIN MS Su-
preme Court oath and his obligation
as justice.
Here is such man on the Supreme
Court. Can anything be done about
it?
1t is commonly said that Mr. Roose-
velt can ask Mr.. Black to resign
Sure he can-just like can ask Chief
Justice Hughes to resign. Mr.. Roose-
velt can only ask personally; he can
not demand officially. Mr. Roosevelt
can go to Mr.. Black privately and
personally and say to him: Hugo,
I'm in an awful hole; it would help
me out if you'd resign; you held out
on me when you didn't tell me you
were a life member of the Klan and
you ought~ to resign as a favor to
me-"
Mr.. Roosevelt can say that to Mr..
Black on private and personal basis.
But Mr.. Black can reply, Nuts TO
you. Franklin"
Mr.. Roosevelt has no Official power

to demand Mr.. Blacks resignation.
any more than he can demand the
designations Of the other eight Justices.
Mr.. Roosevelt would like to have that
power-oh, how he'd like to. But he
has not got it, If Mr.. Roosevelt had
power to demand designations OF
justices he need not have asked Con-
gress for power to change the court
Mr.. Black is not only appointed and
confirmed. 1t turns out that two DAYS
after his confirmation he quietly took
the oath Of Office before minor public
official, notary. without waiting for
the court to assemble, as would have
been the ordinary way. Mr.. Black has
been drawing pay as a justice since
August 19.
Very well, Mr.. Black Is securely on
the court. Is there, then, nothing that
can be done?
There is impeachment. But Mr..
Black can be impeached only for
present, existing offense. He cannot be
impeached for an offense that took
place and was ended before he was
appointed to the court.
Term of Membership.
Whether Mr. Blacks membership In
the Klan, and consequently his obli-
CATION under his Klan oath, continued
up to and after the time he was made
a Supreme Court justice is question
of fact. 1t is precisely on that fact
that the possibility of his removal
depends. For determining that fact
the only proper process is an impeach-
ment proceeding.
According to the newspaper ex-
posure, Mr.. Black first joined the Klan
in the ordinary way on September II,
1928. This first period of membership
ended-or Mr.. Black purported to end
it-on July 9, 1925. On this latter
date he addressed letter OF resigna-
ton to the Klan kligraph. He was
at that time candidate for the United
States Senate. The inference of the
newspaper exposure is that his resigna-
ton was 'phony," that he wrote it
merely for the purpose of being able
to say he was not a member of the
Klan.
However, whether that resignation
was 'phony" or genuine does not
matter at all. The real thing that is
now important arose later.
More than a year later, after Mr..
Black had secured his election TO the
Senate, he, on September 2, 1925.
went through ceremony of accepting
life membership in the Klan. Mr..
Blacks speech accepting life member
ship is printed in the newspaper ex-
posure. In the speech are some SEN
tences having strong evidential i'm
portance. Mr.. Black, accepting the
life membership, spoke of "the great
fraternity to which We belong"
The question is whether MIR. Black
at any time after that ceremony of
September 2, 1925, terminated the life
membership in the Klan which he
then accepted. If Mr.. Black can prove
that he did terminate his life member
ship, then he cannot be convicted of
being a member when he became
justice of the Supreme Court.
