The only music was the song, Every Man s King, played in minor key nnd. dirge time .by the Stole University band. Though the man who killed Long was known as one of hie political foes, the real story of the assassination was shrouded In uncertainty. Karl secretary of the late senator, declared that tang was murdered as a result of t conspiracy; that a number of his enemies formed a Jury of death," and that Doctor Weiss was selected by lot to fire the fatal bullet To those who are familiar with the conditions In Louisiana this story does sot sound especially fantastic. What will become of Long's empire Is a question that agitates all hla followers, and all the people of the state as well. For the present. It seemed likely, the members of the Long machine will sink their personal ambitions and try to hold the organization Intact It will be difficult for them to decide on a successor to the Klngflsli" as their leader.

Soon after the assembly of the league opened Its session. Sir Samuel Iloare, British foreign secretary, electrified the gathering by an outspoken warning to Italy and France. lie declared Great Britain recognized Italy's need for expansion and raw materials but would not admit these could not be obtained peaceably.

Sir Samuel more than Intimated that Great Brltnln was prepared to fake sanctions against Italy In case of aggression provided all the other members of the league shared the risk; and If not, then England was prepared t Isolnte herself from the continent. Tills seemed to put It up to Premier Laval of France, to choose between the friendship of Britain and tlmt of Italy, Lnval, meanwhile, was trying to persuade Mussolini to accept another plan he had devised and postponed hls speech to the assembly.

And well they might be. The American government with Its system of constantly changing Its foreign emissaries has bad few outstanding dlplomuts and never has kept those few outstanding Individuals on the Job very long under any circumstances. The condition of American diplomatic capacity la shown no better than by the latest debacle the Russian recognition case. As usual, the American government get licked on the diplomatic field. It may reassert Itself yet by breaking off relations with the Russian Soviet government but It is uncertain at this writing whether that can be done with safety. What I am trying to say la that In according recognition to the Soviets, American statesmen were not clever enough to guard against the more shrewd and better trained negotiators sent here by Dictator Stalin. The result la that our protests about Soviet communistic propaganda In the United States were rejected, tossed bodily out of the window with an ejaculation .that the objection had no bails. Let us go back to the original negotiations, the events leading up to the tragedy as It were. It will be remembered thnt la 1923, President Roosevelt Invited the Russian government to send a commission here for a discussion of relations, or lack of them, between Moscow and Washington. He told the Russians that he wanted to be a good neighbor to them and wanted them to be a good neighbor to us. He saw no insurmountable problem or olistacle to recognition of the existing government of all the Rnsslas; the government was functioning and It was entitled to be regarded ss a sovereign power. He proposed, therefore, that consideration be given to establishment of formal relations between the two powers. Maxim Lltvlnoff, a Soviet official corresponding to our secretary of state, appeared In Washington and negotiations for recognition were open. It was decided early In those conversations that the war debt of the Czarlst government to the United States should be set aside and a settlement worked out after the two nations had reached an agreement on other phases of International relationships. The 8ov!et always has disclaimed any obligation In connection with the debt contracted by Czar Nicholas during the World war and the United States has had nothing to shew for the several hundred millions advanced to the Czar except some L O.

Frank Knox of the Chicago Daily News, a potential candidate for the Republican Presidential nomination, culled It Just another promise and set forth the many campaign promises which Mr. Roosevelt haa failed to keep. Senator Block of Alabama said the statement was a wonderfully clear explanation of hls program, Its original alms and lta execution. It should be a call Co those la engaged In business to further national progress. Howard had written the President that many business men had become convinced that there could be no real recovery "until the feara of business have been allayed through the granting of a breathing spell to Industry and a recefcs from' further experimentation until the country can recover Its losses." In a long- letter the President replied that the legislative program of hla administration had readied substantial completion and the breathing spell of which yon speak Is here decidedly so.

This looked like a victory for Hopkins, who favors qnlck Jobs, over Ickes, champion of permanent public works.

That trick was one among many which the American government failed to foresee In negotiating Russian recognition. It la a splendid example of how onr diplomatic representatives fall In tlielr work. The Soviet took advantage of an opportunity. It Is true that the Communist Internationale Is a political party bnt the Communist Internationale la Russia Is not comparable to the Democratic or Republican political party In tlie United States. It la. the only political party and It decides what the government shall do and is responsible to no higher authority. Thus, when the Communist Internationale took the firebrands of revolution Into the United States. It Is hard to understand why the Russian government did not have some finger In the pudding. The American government baa warned Russia of serloua consequence" if the communistic propaganda does not cease. Such an expression between nations can mean only the breaking up of diplomatic relations. Whether Mr. Roosevelt will go that far la still undetermined. As we look back over the Russian affair, one can hardly fall to characterize it as a misadventure. Mr. Roosevelt said he wanted to recognize Russia. because great economic advantages would flow from that act There would be much more trade, much new business developed. Department of Commerce figures reveal however, that sales to Russia were about $114,000,000 In 1930 but that they have dropped down In the last year to about $30,000,-00- Much may be seen of the condition of trees by watching rtiem Iron your, car Window as yon. drive along says K.

Experts Select QUAKER OATS FOR DIONNE QUINTS' 0. 80, apparently we have gained nothing but some trouble by recognizing Russia. What did the Russians gain? First, they undoubtedly have broadened the field of their, communistic and revolutionary propaganda. Doors were opened to them tn this country that were closed before recognition was granted. But undoubtedly the outstanding victory recorded by the Russians in persuading America to recognize the Moscow government lies not In the American field at all Their greatest gain was in their relations with Japan. The last several years hare witnessed continued friction along the frontier between Japan and Russia. There was a constant threat of war. Strange as it may seem, as soon as negotiations were opened between the United States and Russia, the international relations between Russia and Japan began to There has been almost no Improve. trouble on that border since. The reason Is that before recognition the Japanese appeared to feel they would have the moral support, at least; of the United States In any controversy developing between them and Moscow. So the bocks will record another victory for foreign diplomats, another defeat for the hit and miss diplomatic system of the United States. (And the debt contracted by the Czar's government and disregarded by the Soviet Is as much unsettled aa the day that the Czar was murdered.) The passing of Labor day In Washington seems to be the signal for the bulk of government officials to return to Activity in Politico thoIr desks and al ways with that return there comes swift and burning activity In politics. Usually, also, the passing of Labor day sees the return to Washington of other types of vacationists Washington being what It la In August and they, too, bring hack new political Ideas. Hence, just at this writing Washington Is deluged with all kinds of political fireworks. As far as I have been able to analyze the situation, there are three distinct classes. The first embraces those who go out on vacations to see whether they can find aa much or more support for the administration In power at the time than In the previous vacations; a second group Includes those who go out with a determination to find that the administration la In a tnllspln and losing ground rapidly, and the third la made up of vacationists who do not concern themselves directly about politics but who cannot avoid political discussions because o f their residence In Washington. So, Just now, we are surfeited with political declarations thnt Mr. Roosevelt Is stronger than ever before; thnt he hns lost so much ground that hla election la Improbable and the unbiased assertions that he has gained In some communities and haa lost Immeasurably in others.
