For the New Year Dwelling in the pant is nut to ho reeommr'iulwl. Tint the best preparation for meeting problems yet to arise is ; knowledge of what has been done in the years behind us. j lhis is stock-taking time in the business world. "'How' do I stand?" is the universal inquiry. Jiut it is not enoujfh to know how "I" stand. How do business and humanity t-tand? How did they fare in the 12 months just closed?; How do results accomplished compare with those of pre- i ceding years? With precise information before us we may f.mge future prospects a.:d plan intelligently for the new year. " . , The greatest asset.' of mankind is the general fund of knowledge accumulated through the ages. The ancient and respectable pastime of making New Year resolutions comes down to the simple matter of making decisions in ' the light of experience. Not of one's own experience but tf collective, experience. Knowledge of what was done in 1923, added to the store of information previously assem- j bled, constitutes a strengthening of the guards against1 error, -provided use bo made ol it. orable to acceptance of the Russian proposal. That there was no substantial basis for any such intimation was ob vious to ;11 who have followed the consistent course of our date department, unless, indeed, some people have leeii convinced American statesmen are unworthy of public faith. The sheer impudence of the Tchilcherin note condemned it ill American sight. Pretending to seek "friendly rela tions" with our government and people, Tchitcherin de sired that they be "based upon mutual trust." As if any sane statesman could be persuaded to put anything of trust in the red-handed crew of Moscow! Secretary Hughes wasted no words in arguments. His reply ; '.mounts to a reiteration of what hits been said re peatedly in the par.t and was restated by President Cool itige in his mes: age to congress. In concisest form our position is that the United States government "is not pro posing to bailer away il3 principles." This is the presi dent's phrase. Impoitanl for reinonibeiing is that our government nev er has raised a question as to, the form of government in tussia. We stand on this where we always have stood: wc can legitimately make no objection to any form of government that suits the Hussian people. Hut we can and do make' mi issue of the character of the government at Moscow and properly scrutinize its purposes and its acts. It must be worthy of trust and the proof that it is worthy will be given when it provides for discharging Hussian obligations and abandons its policy of destroying the in stitution.'! of other nations. llooh!

OFFICE CAT TRAOt MAHK Can't Stand Russia Secretary Hughes' promptitude in rejecting the Kussian soviet suggestion of negotiations for an accord with the United States should be finally convincing at Moscow of the impossibility of its "making up" with Washington. When a dirty hand is insinuatingly placed on one's' shoul der one brushes it off without ceremony. This in effect represents tho latest exchange of communications between Moscow and Washington. . It is to be hoped that the suitable impression has been made by Mr.' Hughes on certain Americans jik well as upon the Muscovite:).
