Instant protest from Socialist and labor groups in the United] States and Europe following the announcement of Mr. Root’s appoint- ment and acceptance are sufficient indication that his power for good in Petrograd could be greatly strengthened by the presenco of a man ___ who appeals more directly to popular instinct and sympathy. | Socialist and labor groups are all-important elements in that surging, seething mass of revolutionized Russia, dazed by the| sudden light of democracy, with dozens of would-be leaders urging it this way and that. To help co-ordinate and concentrate such forces calls for something besides statesmanship. It needs wide personal appeal, | inspiration, rallying power. As The Evening World has pointed out, the United States| has no man better fitted to take part in a job of this sort than ‘Theodore Roosevelt. | He is a born rallier, No American has made himself more widely known or more popular in Europe. His magnetism breaks through barriers of language. His energy compels attention. And he has contrived throughout his career to remain, in the eyes of the average man in most countries of the world, the friend of humanity, the repre- | tentative and defender of democracy and the tireless supporter of popular causes, In all these directions Mr. Roosevelt would supply in Russia a natural, invaluable complement to the intellectual power of Mr. | Root. At the same time he would make a more dignified and a more efficient member of the Russian mission than any American Socialist or labor leader selected as such. rs We do not suppose, of course, that Col. Roosevelt would be eager! : to go to Russia, On the contrary, we know he still conceives it his, a pressing duty to raise a division and fight in France. { ‘i ; But if it were proved to Mr. Roosevelt that the first and most offi | farsreaching service he could render his country lies in Russia, katte would he refuse to join Mr. Root? | ope Could any thinking man read even the meagre reports that come from Russia without realizing that there is a situation which calls for instant, energetic action? Ru in political chaos, Russia nearing collapse, Russia likely to make a separate peace, Russia setting free millions of German and ‘ Austrian troops for the Imperial German Government to rush to the 6 gett Be tne! ee tse: “we = ns for Women _ Coosrigyt, 1917.
