HAPGOOD HOPES
CHARLES R
CRANE
CAN GOTO RUSSIA
By-Xorman IlUpjfood

- Washington, Jun 25. Charles R.
Crane, retiring, minister to China.! Is
the ideal American to go across
Russia, 1 but it is questionable
whether T the Moscow government
will allow him to do so. 2 ' - ?
: Undoubtedly the agreeable peasant
who' is the Bolshevik minister to China
encouraged Crane to China in the hope
of receiving a favorable answer from
Moscow. .1 ,
The simple peasant, of course, thor
oughly understands that as our govern
ment recognised In Washington an
ambassador representing a . few dozen
expatriates in New York and Paris, it
cannot recognis in China as represent
Ing Russia anybody except the gentle
man whom the heathen asked to leave
because they thought they ought bo
longer to deal with a representative who
represented nothing.
.MOSCOW COUBTS V. 8. TRADE
Moscow, however, has to go beyond
the - question of Mr. Crane's splendid
heart and . spiritual resiliency. It has
put down a general principle. It made
perfectly clear that it would rather lay
with us than with any other power the
foundations on which to start foreign
trade and concessions to foreign capital.
' At first it looked its if we might ao
cept this opportunity. The Republican
platform contained a. plank calling for
trsde with all countries we were at peace
with.
President Harding explicitly stated
both' orally and in writing that he fa
vored de facto recognition.
LODGE AND HARVEY RAGE '
Then something happened. The Lodge
Harvey group in the party Were Insane
with rage at the very notion of dealing
with a group of men so Infinitely below
their own standard of disinterestedness,
progress and liberality. Mr. Hoover, the
most determined influence In the cabinet,
took the Russian field for His, as it was
a commercial question.
Mr. Hughes, as far as can be judged,
has put no thought on the subject. I
would give several hundred dollars to
know what actually passes in the mind
Of the secretary of state If he should
invest li cents in the issue f the New
Republic for June IS, and read the sum
mary given, after a six months' visit to
Russia, by M. J. Olgin,
HAPGOOD KSOW8 OLGI7T
I happen to know Mr. Olgln. . No
better equipped or more Impartial men
could be found to interpret the Russian
masses. What he says about the state
of mind of the Russian peasant would
Interest Mr. Hughes, if this were one
of the topics on which Mr. Hughes were
thinking.. .'.
Perhaps, after reading a little fresh
and important evidence of large scope,
Instead of the childish trash turned in
by two-spots in Helslngfors, Copenhagen,
Riga, Reval and Paris on a formula war
ranted to give satisfaction 4n Washing
ton, our able and high minded secretary
might avoid the approaching Chance to
make the government look still Sillier
on the Russian question.
REFERS TO KRASSIIf YIS1T L
Impossible, you ay not Impossible at
all. I -do not refer to phantom ships,
treated seriously by Our grave states
men, incrvauiinB in nuinmc " rKpiuiy v
Falstafrs assailants. I refer to the
approaching visit of Krasstn to Canada,
That visit will give the department a
chance to outdo the imbecility that has
been progressive since the time, late in
the" summer of 119, when Mr. Wilson's
constitution began to break.
Of course, Mr. 'Crane ought not to be
held responsible for thAe perversities,
lie is trying to d something entirely
characteristic of his long record of
spiritual vision in American public life.
Nobody in Washington, even in the
state department bureaucracy, disliked
the Bolshevik revolution more than he.
The intellectuals, business men and
landed proprietors who tried to: rule
after the tsar fell were friends of Mr.
Crane. It nearly broke his heart to see
ruthlessly destroyed so much- in Russia
in favor of a lifetime -ha has held dear.
CRAKE IS GEBTEROl'8
But Mr. Crane is not the kind to live
on -hate and on moanlngs. He has
money; and most of his income goes Into
good deeds. So he fills a ear with a
pathetic list of some of the things most
needed needles, hails, medicines, tooth
brushes, and starts off hopefully for
China,-
Let us all hope the Bolsheviks Will
admit him. But they have excluded
'William Johnson, head of the machinists,
and senator France, both friends of in
tercourse. They have taken the position
that as the Harding administration has
adopted the:, policy Of the late Wilson
administration. Russia will not fool with
Americans any more.

MOVES
UNLESS REFORMED
Des Moines, Iowa, i June 25. -(U.
P.) A national boycott against mo
tion pictures is planned by Northern
Baptists unless the. films reform. ;
Indications Of sympathy with "blue
law" agitation developed in today's ses
sion of the denomination's annual con
vention here. ' " , I ;
The movie boycott was recommended
In the social service committee's Report,
presented by Rev. S. Z. Batten of Phila
delphia. Dance halls also came In for a scath
ing denunciation.
"Movies, as abundant evidence shows,
are steadily growing worse," th report
said: "On all sides It is admitted, that
the movie as now conducted is a grave
moral menace.
. "The pictures are often gross and sug
gestive! they portray crimes such as
highway robbery, assault and murder.
Many of them caricature ministers and
make light of religion. They suggest
licentious ideas and contain constant
incitement to sex curiosity."
The committee recommended strict
censorship, and as a further Step a
united strike until the films are purged.
"The dance hall," the report said,
' even under the best of conditions, needs
watchiflg. Recently, It ha undergone a
marked change for the worse in j most
communities.". - i-
The temperance situation was taken
up in the report and the convention
urged to follow up the successes at
tained With prohibition. Insistence on
strict obedience of liquor . laWsj was
recommended.;: -t-V-f... (. ;
The report suggested as a remedy for
the Industrial situation that more re
ligion in industry Would solve many of
the disputes between capital and labor.
Federal Bonus Bill
May Be Delayed by ;
Attacks; in Senate
Washh gton, June 25. (U. P.) Unex
pected obstacles to the veterans' adjust
ed compensation bill have arisen which
senate leaders declared today may de
lay psssage of ' the' measure for several
months. - '
Republican leaders were reticent in
discussing the change in the legislative
program. Several senators Simply said
it was' deemed, unwise to push the legis
lation at this time.
Settlement of th refunding of the al
lied war debts to this country is said
to be one of the obstacles in the way
of the so-called bonus bill. .
' It is expected by Senator MeCumber
of North Dakota, Who is handling the
bill in the senate, and other advocates
that funds for paying the veterans' com
pensation which would not begin until
after July, 1921, would be derived from
interest on the foreign loan. - ?
The unexpected attack of Senator Bor
ah on the bonus bill is also said t have
some bearing on the change, in plans. If
the bill was pressed at this tima leaders
tear that continued attack might do
much to make the legislation unpopular
wjh the country. ,1;.
