guiding
American
government
policies with regard to Russia, while
Mr. Gompers made direct reference
to the recent public demands, from
senators
and others who have vis
ited Russia, for recognition.
American tradition, Mr. Hughes
said, founded on a desire to refrain
from Interference with internal af-
lairs# of other nations, might require
recognition of any government, even
a government of a “ tyrannical mi
nority,” when the people of the na
tion concerned maintain manifested
acquiescence or submission of it.
Nevertheless, recognition being "an
invitation of intercourse,” the gov
ernment seeking recognition should
evince a disposition to “ live up to
the obligations of intercourse,” he
declared, denying in detail assertions
that the Russian government was so
doing.
Mr. Gompers, remarking on “ mis
information
gathered
by
retiring
travelers during closely supervised
tours" In Russia, suggested in a let
ter to the secretary of state that
some purpose might be served If
“ those standing for the American
concept of right and justice and
democracy” should be given clearly
to understand that the backbone of
the whole situation regarding Rus
sia Is the denial to the people of
Russia of any opportunity to pass
judgment on their own affairs, or to
say by whom or in what manner
they should be governed.
The state department's position,
he «aid, had been understood by him
to be that of “ energetic opposition
to a tyrannical minority imposing
themselves on a reluctant people."
Expessing the opinion of wage earn
er*. he said he “ thought that the
United States might, under any cir
cumstances. extend official recogni
tion to such a villainous despotism
is repugnant."

HERE'S a little trunk In the attic,
And Its key Is red with rust.
There are cobwebs all around It,
And the top Is gray with dust;
The spiders weave o'er the handles.
And swing from the strap of brown.
And no one's there who seems to care
When the Dd was fastened down.
T
But. oh, there was ne'er a treasure
More precious than thnt Inside;
A wardrobe of tiny measure
For the little boy who died;
The dreams of a life are folded
In the raiment he did not use.
And the mother's tears flow through
the years
For the baby she had to lose.
She fashioned each dainty garment
With love that was strong and deep;
In the gown she had sensed the rap
ture
Of seeing her darling sleep;
Had glimpsed him In every wee thing.
And held him against her breast.
The soft pink form so sweet and
warm.
That lovingly she caressed.
But he was a fragile blossom
That needed the higher air,
One almost fancied a halo
Lay soft on his silky hair;
He could not wait for the dresses—
God called, and he bad to heed.
And the trunk shall hold, like bits of
gold.
The garments he did not need.
