private property in land or the instru-

owns property. but all the members
OF the community possess an equal
share. Every one receives income and
. is permitted to enjoy it. All receive the
full results of their labor, together with
what nature gratuitously confers upon
them. AS result Hashima has no
rich and there were never any poor.
There is no competition and no strife.
There is no hatred, no enmity, no
jealousy. Liberty and fraternity are

The customs authorities have pro-
hibited the entry of typewriters into
Turkey, and 200 machines now in the
custom house have been ordered re-
turned to the consignor. The authori-
ties have taken up the peculiarly char
acteristic attitude that there Is no dis
tinct feature about typewriting by
which the authorship could be recog-
nized or person using machine be
traced, and that, consequently, any one
is able to put in type seditious writ
ings without fear of compromising
himself. photographic paste and fluid
also are prohibited for similar reasons.
The embassies are making representa-
tions on the subject with the view of
inducing the Turkish government to
take up more reasonable attitude.
