IN THE “FEELER” STAGE But Russian peace is in the “feeler” stage right now, | nd is making progress daily. Here are some of the im- portant spurring facts behind it: 1—Business interests are insistently demanding peace » with Russia. Cheaper raw materials and food would hit the cost of living. 2—Lenine knows this, is increasing his peace efforts and is making a special appeal to allied business interests. He is also moving steadily to the more conservative right, by compromise. 3—The allies are in real fear of a German-Russian al lance if peace waits too long. 4—Western Europe no longer stands in the trembling Keep your nose home—that Is unt the census man—or Indy—sees you, Be sure you are counted by Uncle Sam before you leave town, Here & one of U mele | Sem’ * ) deputies inteestowing a Seattle housewife. To try to control railroad rates by arbitrarily limiting profits is to put the man- ager who makes his profits by efficiency and economy on the same level as the one who tries to accomp lish the same result through extortionate charges.

Hesketh HE old-time pack-bearer could carry 2 fear that the “opening up” of Russia will blow Bolshevistic fed terror all over the world. Withdrawal of British military aid for Denikin was tre- Mendously popular. This aid was expensive. Europe, ly, has come to regard Denikin, Kolchak and the Other “white hopes” as hopeless bets. European sentiment has crystallized on the Wilson-Lioyd George theory, long preached, but only now coming into Practice, that “Bolshevism will not be overthrown by the sword.” GERMAN IS ACTIVE Britain and France are tired of going to America where | hey get only $4 worth for the pound, for raw materials h they might be buying cheaply in Russia with the exchange rate in Sty favor. Germany is extremely active and friendly toward Russia, and Lloyd George = his advisers and allies are wide- awake to the danger of a Russian-German alliance that t easily, leave Germany a gainer thru the war. e allies’ acknowledge that Lenine is playing a shrewd “home” game in constantly offering to make peace on - terms that must appear to the Russian people to be very The allies would welcome peace tomorrow if all factions would agree to a constituent assembly elected from all over Russia. But neither Reds nor Whites will listen to this now, tho many allied sta‘esmen believe they will shortly. For the present, Lenine saggests an “economic federation” of the various states—which would, of course, keep him temporarily in the saddle of soviet Russia. USE “ONLY HOPE” APPEAL The more conservative sovietism has its “only hope” ap- peal for the allied business man, especially as Lenine offers concessions and a guarantee of old Russia’s aebts. Lenine has been forced to compromise on his cardinal stubborn Russian peasants private ownership of their grain -end other products. Litvinoff, as spokesman for the Bolshevist crowd, now tries accept the same economic basis. They will either| afollow our example, or, if Russia is before her time, she will have to revert to capitalism. We have been forced to . tke a middle course for the present.” RUSSIA OPEN BY SPRING At. the moment the allies are eagerly watching for more internal risings against the Leninites of Russia. Recently a number of Red troops have mutinied and joined the Baltic forces and tnere have been persistent reports of serious} internal risings. Lenine admits the discovery of a wide- sjread anti-red organization. Peace efforts would be dropped like hot coals if these disturbances were to spread, for the allies would certainly do nothing that might prevent the overthrow of the Reds. Business men here are confidently predicting: “Russia will be open by Spring.

The railroad is the modern pack-bearer. For every employe it carries 2,000 times as much. Rack of each railroad worker there is a $10,000 investment in tracks and trains and terminals, with steam and electricity har- nessed like a great beast of burden. 4. a4 Without this mighty transportation ma- chine the railroad worker could do no more than the old-time packer. But with it he is enabled to earn the highest railroad wages paid in the world, while the country gains the lowest-cost transportation in the world. ., The modern railroad does as much work for half a cent as the pack-bearer could do for a full day’s pay. The investment of capital in transportation and other industries increases production, spreads prosperity and advances civilization. To enlarge our railroads so that they may keep pace with the Nation’s increasing pro- duction, to improve them so that freight may be hauled with less and less human effort—a constant stream of new capital needs to be attracted. Under wise public regulation the growth of railroads will be stimulated, the country will be adequately and economically served, labor will receive its full share of the fruits of good management, and investors will be fairly re- warded.
