To the Editor: I
Kor several years I have closely'
followed your editorials, and havo
greatly enjoyed them. I do not'
nlwayH fall in with your views,1
but you have a clear logle that,
generally hits the nail on the
head. In an editorial In yester-;
dny'H paper, entitled "Tho Irre-
prcHMlhle Conflict." you advertizo!
the fact, that you havo a clear
understanding of the great econ-'
omlc Hitualion which confronts!
us today.
Regarding wars of .conquest, It !
Is not generally known, but ia I
nevertheless an historical fact that
Just prior to tho Spanish Ameii-j
can war, Spain cabled our gov
ernment through our ambassador j
In Madrid, that Spain would meet
all American demands. Hut war
wan declared Just the same. It I
has always been susplcloned that'
Germany and England. Jealous!
rivals of each other, had a phi
lomath hand In the deal. I
Anyway we acquired tho Phil
ippines, but 1 have never been
able to figure out what good they
are to the U. S.
Several years ago while Mr.
Hughes was secretary of state, a
Mr. Vanderllp of New York,
American agent, of tho soviet gov
ernment of Russia, tried to pur
chase a vast amount of American
goods amounting to something
like a billion dollars. '
Their plan was to have a large
number of ships built In our ship
yards, anil loaded with tho pur
chased goods, they would bo char
tered to Russia and paid for by
the Russian government.
, Our government refused to. have
anv dealings with the soviet gov
ernment, but Instead shipped
some 600 so-called undesirable
eltlsons to Russln. These men
were "mostly ill! skilled workers,
loggers, railroad men. mechanics,
etc. Russia was glad to get them,
nnd they are now helping Russia
In her oivnomlc development.
They must get a grim satisfaction
In seeing Russia enter tne econ
omic field against the V. S.
Would it not have been better
fur us to recogiilio Russia, and
open up friendly trading rola-1
lions with her? The present gene
ration has been privileged to live
In the greatest epoch In history.!
We have seen some wonderful
clianiies In the last 25 years, but j
does not the future also hold some
veiv Interesting events.
The V. S. the most capitalistic
nation on earth, and socialist
Russia, a large and vastly rich,
country entering the economic
field against us
Truly, tho future holds some,
verv Interesting developments. j
