RUSSIAN POLICY UNCHANGED
Secretary Hughes’ restatement of
the administration’s policy toward so
viet Russia probably was intended as
a reply to Senator Borah who has beeu
agitating persistently for recognition
of the Moscow regime. For some time'
inspired reports have emanated Horn
Washington that President Harding:
was leaning toward recognition of the!
1-enine government. These rumors'
are set at rest by Mr. Hughes’ state
ment that the government’s policy
continues to be one of non-interier-.
once in the internal affairs of Russia
and refusal to take part in any nego-.
tiations looking to recognition of thej
soviets.
According to Boran, who is an at
dent sympathizer of the bloody Reds, J
he “would rather have Russia's obli
gation to pay the debt which she owes!
the United States than the obligation
of any other nation in Europe which j
owes us, except one”—meaning En
gland.
The Idaho senator overlooked thej
fact that the debt issue is not the con-i
trolling factor in the government’*j
policy toward Russia. The Soviet gov-i
ernment has not yet shown any symp-;
toms of the civilization expected from
an intelligent country. On the con
trary it repeated repelled the finer
instincts of civilization by a series of
atrocities against mankind. It has en
slaved the Russian peasantry, flouted
religion and repudiated the marriage
contract. It has shot down 2,700,00
of the more intelligent of its popula
tion. It has profaned everything sa
cred and made a joke of government.
The United States can hardly afford
to endorse the policies of the Red
government. It can hardly take part
jn trade relations without acknowledg
ment that Sovietism is a government
and not a theory.
The latest atrocity, the murder of
Vicar General Buatchkavitcli, because
of his protests against persecutions
by the Reds, places them outside the
pale. Only after the organization of
a stable government should the Uni
ted States recognize Russia as a na
tion.
The only money that can be made
made out of watered stock is made by
bootleggers.
That the female of the species is
more deadly than the male is shown
in the operations of female bootleg
gers on Puget Sound, who have been
highjacking the male bootleggers.
JEWISH kTHLETE SEVERS
CHUNS WITH TEETH
LONDON, Apr. 6.—That a Jewish
athlete named Breitbart, 34, six feet
3 inches in height and weighing 210
pounds can bite through steel is
vouched for by a medical correspon
dent of the Lancet. Breibart’s per
formances astounded a committee of
engineers, smiths and athletes who
saw him sever with his teeth steel
chains one-fifth of an inch thick,
bend into a circle iron rods half an
inch square, using his mouth as a ful
crum, bend over his head a rail four
inches by two and a half inches, and
other phenomenal feats.
JIPMESE HOT HIM
SUBSCRIBE TOO STOCK
FRESNO, Calif., Apr. 6—Three hun
dred Japanese vineyardists in the San
Joaquin valley, who are members oi
the Sun Maid Growers association
have been enjoined from subscribing
to the association’s stock issue, by a
decision handed by by Attorney Gen
eral Webb who stated that the Cali
fornia anti-alien land law of 1920
prevents the Japs from purchasing
stock in corporations controlling land.
This ruling also bars the Japs from
receiving the eight per cent stock
dividends which the association
poses to issue.
A. J. Campbell, of Tanana, who has
been to the states and arrived on the
Oduna, left on last night’s freight tor
the Interior. Mr. Campbell took with
him a team of horses which he pur
chased while in the states, and will
use them on his ranch this summer.
