A people struggling to adjust itself to new-found freedom is bound to have its attention turned inward. Temptation! to seek peace and quiet for the working out of its new national syst om is naturally strong. The release of millions of German troops from} eastern war fronts was a possibility England, France and America! could not but regard as serious and real. To the everlasting credit of Russian democracy its dominating spirit holds true and consistent. It has not realized its hopes only to stamp itself in the eyes of other democratic nations with a brand of national selfishness and cynicism which it could never efface. Russia needs its railroads put in order, American railroad, experts are going to attend to that. Russia needs ready money tc| carry on the war, The United States is on the spot with unlimited credit.
