The controversy which has been Kfinjl on with reference to tho authenticity of the docu ments urjfinjr tho followers oi tlw Third - Internationale to arise and put "the red (laj; o:'. the White House" is only a part of vhe problem. The faid that tlfe Russians seem so ?-xercised over Secret a r> Hughes' disclosures is inti rfRtinc enough but official!* do not observe the soviet disavowing t!?? thinl int. rnationale or denouncing the doctrines which have been the basis of soviet propa ganda in tli?* I'nited Stales. Jluteins; by the ' comments which tho episode has brought out. the public had missed one point that has not failed to arouse indignation in inner circles here, it relates to the Russian offer to recognlze certain debts dm* America since, the czar's recline. On its face the suggestion seemed as it the Russians were bcginninu to meet the/'American Government hall way. but coupled with their offer is a demand that the I'nited Slates re ciprocate by paying damaues for the occupation of Russian territory both in Siberia and in the Archangel re gion. ? Tin* Russians have been flt:> uring it out that 'for American con sumption they would retog nlxe tie wai debt but would turn around and hi tlie same offer demand enough for the occupation of Russian terri torv to offset (he amount of that debt and in efiect eanc< I tin* bill. What the I'nited States in com pany with 1h?- Allies attempted to do in the various Russian exped! tions was to open up approaches to the territory of Germun> and t > maintain a hlotknrit: auainst Ger many from all sides. Whatever was dol e by the I'nited States was Incl . dent !o tin- prosecution of the war a-ainst r.erniany. There never was a d? Ma ration of war against Russia. Coming tin top of the American ef fort to save the Russian people from starvation and other 'evidence of American friendship, it can be stated without exaggeration that the last Russian proposal to char-' the I'nit *(\ States for occupy in u Rusian ter ritory during the war is considered out of the most ungrateful acts in th? history of international relations. The word battle over the docu ments of the Third Internationale about over so far an the I'nited States is concerned. Words are In terestin*- only as they are an index of policy or action. If the Russians ? lo not believe in the distribution 01 1ropaganda among American work men urging them to overthrow the Government here, they can ulve tes timony of their good faith i?> squelching the activities of Russians 111 America who receive flu ir fund * as well as their encouragement from Moscow. If the soviet uoverniuent wl?!ies to enter into diplomatic re latlons with the I'nited States Gov ern lent, certain nets will prove the ell-ibility of Russia to be accepte.l I* the family of nations once nior* objections are not raised so much aw tlie kind of government the Rus -lans have?that Is an Internal af lalr but the I'nited States consider* it very much a matter of interna tional jurisdiction if one nation stands back of propaganda which lias for its object the overthrow of the government of another nation. There is in America a uroup of so-called "liberals" who are erlticlz Ing the administration in for i;tii Inu to recognize soviet Russia. There are a few business men ami promo ters who are trying to persuade the Washington Government to make trade agreements with Russia. I'.ut there |?j no nation-wide opinion in ravor of recognition of flie Aoviefg ho Ioik as they feel it necessary to spread hostile propaganda %ud plot to stir American workmen to revolt. That's the sum and substanc? of of ficial t h otic lit here and until Russia herself shows slutis of change. th" problem can be relegated to the cal endar of unfinished busine which from the present outlook will remain unfinished Indefinitely.
