U. S. Has Sacrificed
Much For Red Russia
By SPECTATOR
Russia needs to hear some plain
talk; now is the time, unless it is
already too late; certainly we have
nothing to gain by delay. We seem
to be singularly weak in dealing with
Russia.
It is possible that we on the out
side ate not sufficiently informed to
have valid opinions. That may be
so, but that would prove that our
Government hasn’t dealt frankly with
us. That also may be true, for the
diplomacy of the last seven years has
been a confusion of purpose and a
sacrifice of real American interests
for the interests of Great Britain.
Within the last two year swe have
sacrificed much for Russia.
Russia excludes us from the terri
tory she governs, even though it be
territory which came to her through
this war. Under some agreement
with Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Church
ill Russia was given a part of the
Italian fleet because Russia, Britain
and the United States were in all the
war together, everywhere, as insep-
arabl allies. Russia had no part at
all in Africa or Italy, but she claims
a full part. Now she claims a share
in governing Japan. In Bulgaria.
Rumania, Hungary and Poland Rus
sia keeps us out. Even in the part
of Germany occupied by Russia she
keeps us at arm’s length. Russia her
self is virtually closed to us. In
China the Red Chinese are on the
warpath again and it is charged that
American Marines are being used
against Chinese Reds. That is de
nied by our Government. Whether
our Government means that the
charge is false; or whether it is
treating us to a diplomatic evasion
or disclaimer no one knows, at the
minute. This war has taught us that
our own Government can be lacking
in frankness much too often.
America has the military power to
talk straight to Russia. Russia is
accustomed to the double-dealing
diplomacy of Europe and suspects us
of sinister designs. Russia herself
had strong treaties with Germane.
Japan and Italy. At almost the
moment of diplomatic arrangement
with Britain Russia joined Germany,
Italy and Japan. Then when it suit
ed Gemany to invade Russia, Italy
championed Gemany. Japan stayed
out, with friendly neutrality for
Russia. When it suited Russia—at
the last minute, she joined us against
Japan. That is the game of diplom
acy Russia knows. She has herself
been the victim of treachery and she
stanus ready to dishonor her bond,
if it suits her best. Naturally she
doesn’t trust us; perhaps she does
n’t expect us to trust her either.
She asks for everything in sight,
even without any warrant of right;
and we tamely discuss it—perhaps
giving her what she wants.
The world has emerged from this
war about as it came out of the First
World War—full of suspicion, dis
trust, rivalry, selfish ambition.
We are spending millions of dollars
feeding people now under Russian
sway without even the right to dis
tribute our gifts as we think best.
The Nations come to us, cry to us,
for food, for clothing, for machinery,
for raw poducts, for billions of dol
lars. We, like a lot of simpletons,
pour out our treasure, while they
hold out on us in every way possible.
