SOVIET SEE FREEDOM AHEAD IF HARVEST PROVES SUCCESSFUL ; By CHARLE8 M. MoCANN ' (United Press Staff Correponlnt) LONDON, July 10. A successful HuBBlaa harvest tills summer will mean that Hussia'B affairs will bo settied next year by a conference, not at The Hague or another outside capital, but at Moscow, according to the official Soviet view.

Reports to Soviet headquarters here Indicate that the harvest will be sue-

"cesaful successful enough to dispel

the black cloud of famine that has

overhung the country.

"If the reports are borne out, aa I

believe they will be," a high Soviet official said to United Press, "our or ceil is over. We Bball be able to feed all our people and have a surplus for export. Then we shall take our place

again, self-respectjngly, among the nations of Europe." Soviet delegates believe that the Genoa conference accomplished nothing, and that the forthcoming conference at The Hague will be of no value. They believe, in the first place, that the French will not attend it. Children Play Genoa "As to the Genoa conference," the United Press was told, "its only result In Moscow has been that the children in the streets are playing 'Genoa conference.' They have a good time, but , cannot always find anyone willing to play the role of M. Barthou." The official view at Moscow of the Genoa and Hague conference I3 given in a dispatch to Soviet headquarters here, quoting from a comprehensive review published in the official newspaper lavestia of Moscow. "Poincare won, although Lloyd George's compromise proposal was adopted," the article states. "Becoming convinced that his mild policy could not cause the Russian delegation to depart from principle, Lloyd George yielded to France. He was influenced In his action by the pressure of the British conservatives and the attitude of American capital. America jealously watched Genoa, fearing that the Europeans might escape American influence. American Fears. "America fears Russian economic regeneration will produce a dangerous

competitor in raw materials, and if America should agree to participate In Russian economic reconstruction, she will seek absolute control and the lions share. American participation at the Hague will increase Russia's chances of obtaining economic aid, but

also it will make united capillst pres sure on Russia stronger.

"Genoa has ended In a compromise.

Everybody now sees that the so-called

Russian question is one of economical

ly subjugating Russia, against which

Russia will fight.

"Genoa closed without having solved

a single cardinal problem, either of European reconstruction, disarmament, universal peace, or the settlement

of territorial controversies. Yet Rus

sia derived a certain benefit by reap

pearing in the international arena and gaining a prominent place of authority

and Influence at Genoa. Soviet Rus

sia gractically gained recognition.

Russia also concluded the treaty with

Germany, which may be followed by

other separate treaties.

"Russia can, therefore, contemplate

the future with confidence. Russia needs economic aid, but the bourgeois

states no less need Russia economical-: ly and politically." J Russia Is Anxious. Russia is both puzzled at and suspicious of the United States attitude towards her. The general view is, aa stated by Izvestia, that the United States wants to do the reconstruction and reap the profits if there is any reconstructing to be done. When conditions get back to normal, the Russians see themselves as the greatest competitors of the United States in raw materials. They see the price of steel and wheat dropping, and. unless Standard Oil gets the Baku oil fields from Russia which is quite likely they see a huge oil field reopened to compete with those under American control. The Soviet delegation is not likely to be in a conciliatory mood at the Hague conference.

MURRETTE "Gas, Oil and Water" provided pep

for a big audience at the- Murrette the atre last night when Charles Ray presented his latest feature.

He has retained all the usual com

edy that has made him distinctive in

his work and had added swift-moving action. The locale is the Mexican border, torrid and sun ridden, where a gang of up-to-date border runners with automobiles operate.

Ray has, to some measure, offered

an automotive ehow in his latest fea

ture, for if there ' are any more mediums of locomotion that could be con:

ceived, we have still to hear of them.

There are automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles, aeroplanes and touring cars that race around in sensational pursuit of each other. The star mingles delightful love

scenes, comedy touches and rural portrayals in his evolution of the plot to

capture the border smugglers. An

aged, tightwad hotel proprietor, who

speaica in words of one syllable and

never more than two words at a time,

is a brilliant addition to the cast.

Charlotte Pierce makes a winsome leading lady. Ray can usually be

counted on to give good entertainment

and "Gas, Oil and water" will provide

its quota.

MURRAY

Admirers of Eugene O'Breln have

a chance to see that popular Selznick

star at nis nest m Joan smitn, now

at the Murray theatre. Mr. O'Brein's

career has been one of the brightest

in the history of stage and screen. For some time prior to his screen debut he

was a Belasco star, appearing with

Frances Starr in "The Case of Becky

and in the same manager's revival of the famous play, "A Celebrated Case." Entering into the moving picture

world, O'Brien at once displayed an aptitude for the Cooper-Hewitts that was remarkable. One of his first roles was In support of Mary Pickford in

Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" and

later he became famous all over the

world as leading man for Norma Tal

mange. t

As a star on his "own" for Selznick,

Mr. O'Brien has had one success after another, some of his most noteworthy

productions being "Worlds Apart

"Chivalrous Charlie," "Clay Dollars," "A Fool and His Money," etc. O'Brien fans will tell you that there is no other like him in their affections. And there

are thousands of these tans every

where.

In "John Smith," Mr. O'Breln has

one of his best roles. The picture is a gem, most human and wholesome with the heart of a "Humoresque" and the soul of "The Miracle Man." His

supporting cast includes the delightful Mary Astor, a charming leading

lady and many others of fame in the

moving picture world.

WASHINGTON

Foremost among the novels which have brough Booth Tarkington lasting fame, is undoubtedly "The Man From Home," which has now been translated to the screen and which is showing at the Washington Theatre now. With the action laid mostly in Italy, and several scenes in Englond and America, the story is a thrilling one and in its transferrance to the screen it has lost none of its intensity. Produced by George Fitzmaurice for Paramount, it has been invested with the customary fire and vigor expected from this virile director. One of the chief details is the excellent cast, which comprises such favorites as James Kirkwood, Anna Q. Nilsson, Norman Kerry, Dorothy Cumming and John Miltern.

Need of Trained Diplomats By FREDERIC J. HASKIN

Signing Chit Is Favorite Indoor Sport of Orient;

Little Spot Cash Required By CLARENCE DUEOSE (United Press Staff Correspondent) TOKYO, July 10. "Signing a chit" is the favorite indoor sport of the far east. A "chit" is a promise to pay. Foreigners in the Orient learn the game easily, and in most cases, become quite proficient It - simplifies life greatly. One needs very little spot earn. It is possible to sign a chit for almost anything, from a highball to a house and lot. Of course, this causes a sad concentration of grief on paydays for everybody except the chit holders. But even so, the system is a groat convenience. For instance when you get arrested. The Japan Advertiser, an American

newspaper of Tokyo, was suppressed not long aso for printing something forbidden by the police. The news editor was pinched most politely, to be sure. Indeed, with, such fine tact and courtesy that an ignorant observer might have thought he was going to be decorated, or made honor-guest at a banquet, or something of that kind. But, on the contrary, be was carried to the calaboose, and the judge

said he regretted to cause inconvenience, but let's see about 50 yen, perhaps. Yes, 50 yen, that would be fine. Would Mr. News Editor please step over to the desk to the right and pay that fine? That is, unless he'd prefer imprisonment to payment? The judge had no preference. He liked to be accommodating about such matters. And by the way, would Mr. News Editor please profit by his experience and not print any more matter he is not expected to print. Mr. News Editor fished in his pockets, and stared ruefully at his empty hands, and told the judge he felt humbled at the admission, but he found himself In the parlous plight known technically as being busted. "Oh, that's all right," beamed the judge. "Doesn't make the slightest difference Don't be embarrassed in tho least. Just sign a chit!" Foreigners out here have felt much happier since that precedent was es- , tablished. Some of them are talking j about trying to sign chits for their Income taxes.

WASHINGTON, D. C, July 10.

Secretary of State Hughes, in addressing a recent university commencement gathering, outlined to the graduates the importance of the work of the diplomatic corps and showed the need of the country for trained diplomatic representatives of the highest skill. This has long been a debated ques

tion in American government and recently there has been a growing opinion that the state department should be taken almost completely out of politics and developed along more scientific lines, more in the manner of the army and navy. The theory is that the state department's staff which deals with foreign relations should be somewhat comparable to the Army War College. It has been a legacy of the American system of democratic government that change in office-holding comes witti change In political administration;

that, to preserve the direct responsibility of all officers of the government to the people, those elected should dismiss the appointees of the d-ifeated

administration and name new ones of the victorious political faith. Scant objections, if any, ever had been raised to this system until the Peace Conference at Paris. Here came an occasion when the most highly skilled trained diplomats of the world gathered to determine the destiny of nations. It was recognized that the United States was represented by distinguished statesmen, politicians and soldiers but that the other

rpowers brought to the peace table men

with far more experience in the wiles of diplomacy which, now as much as in the days of the Medicis, is a Machiavellian business. Robert Lansing, the American secretary of state, was an International .lawyer, and Henry White, a member

of the delegation, had served as an American ambassador. The other members of the delegation were not practiced diplomats. Indeed, Secretary Lansing and Mr. White in point of experience fell far short of the men they faced. There has been no more criticism of what the American delegation did than of what was accomplished by other national delegations, but the conference did strongly impress upon the minds of all Americans who saw it or participated even indirectly In It America's need for more highly skilled diplomats. England Trains Them Young

In England, diplomats are trained from youth. A young man upon leaving preparatory school Is destined for the diplomatic corps. Consideration 13 given this when he enters college and his course of study is planned accordingly. Upon graduation he enters the Foreign Office which is the British equivalent for our department of state. At first he will serve, perhaps, merely as a messenger, in no case ah more than a sub-clerk. Gradually, he works up through the years and after awhile is appointed as an undersecretary or clerk in the legation of Great Britain at some small foreign capital

Usually he is approaching middle age'

before he becomes a full-fledged min

ister. After yet further experience, he finally achieves the rank of ambassador, moving by successive promotions to the more Important capitals. By the time he becomes ambassador at a capital like Paris, Berlin, or Washington, be te a diplomat who knows every trick of the profession and is bo deeply versed In the foreign policy of nis country that it is second nature

for bim to avoid pitfalls Into whicn an Inexperienced diplomat would falL The came scientific method of train, lng diplomats Is pursued in France, Germany and other nations. The result Is that when a great peace conference comes there are men ready to handle the large affairs to bo negotiated. This system Is being Introduced gradually in the United States. President Harding has announced that he favors the retention of capable diplo

mats in the service and he has promoted men who were serving under the

last Democratic administration.

Only In one notable case did Presi

dent Wilson adopt this system of re

taining a trained diplomat. Dr. Mau

rice Francis Egan was appointed as

Minister to Denmark several years ago

by a Republican president. When a

new president is Inaugurated, it is cus tomary for all ministers-and ambassa

dors to send in their formal resig

nations.

Dr. Egan was recognized as an able

diplomat and he was well satisfied

with his work at the court of Copen

hagen. He was not pleased at the

prospect of being displaced. So, when he sent his formal note of resignation

to President Wilson, he appended to It

a personal note relating an anecdote

He said that after the Civil war there

was a maiden lady who lived in Richmond In greatly Impoverished circum

stances. She was filled with the old

pride of the "First Families of Vir

ginia," but the war had swept away her estate. Reduced to penury she

was compelled to make doughnuts and

peddle them about the Richmond

streets through which a few years be

fore she had ridden in her coach. Con

fllctlng emotions filled her breast. Her poverty made her eager to make sales; her pride made her shrink from being a street peddler. So she went about crying in a rather weak voice: "Doughnuts. Doughnuts," and after every cry, in a still weaker voice, "I hope no one sees me." Anecdote Wins Retention Dr. Egan told President Wilson that he was In the same case. Custom forced him to send in his resignation, but he sincerely hoped that somehow it would be overlooked. Whether it was because the president was so pleased with the candor of the minister and the charm of his anecdote or whether

he thought the aptitude of the story proved Dr. Egan too good a diplomat to lose, he did not displace him. Under the Harding administration there have been signs of the building up of a more permanent diplomatic es

tablishment. Brand Whitlock, whose appointment by President Wilson was

partisan at the time, was retained by President Harding as ambassador to Belgium. Hugh S. Gilson who was in the diplomatic service in the previous Democratic administration, has been sent as minister to Poland. H. Percival Dodge, a state depart ment official who has been in the service for years, was promoted and sent as minister to the Kingdom cf the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. There have been several other cases of a similar nature. International law is a science as intricate and exacting as diplomacy itself. Most of this work is done in

Washington at the state department.
