American Praises
Conduct of Russian
People in Crisis

The American-Russian Chamber OF
Commerce. with Offices IN the ooI-
worth Building, has received from I.
II. Boynton. president of the organiza-
ton. now in Petrograd, statement IN
regard 70 conditions in Russia, which
presents the attitude Of a typical
American business man who has hao
unusual opportunities 70 analyze the
events of the Russian revolution and 20
interpret their meaning. Mr. Boynton s
statement is in part as follows:
THE Russian government has allowed
every phase of political discussion 20
proceed without interference, and re-
fused every suggestion of repression.
The wisdom of the policy of permitting
unrestricted assembage and discussion
was evidenced in the quick stamping
out of anarchistic preaching by the
power of public opinion.
The self-restralnt and moderation
shown by the entire nation is the best
tribute to it's sobriety, solidarity and
reasonableness and the best promise of
what the future has in store.
ITO understand the demonstrations
that have taken place it must be kept
in mind that in Russia such demon
strations are the only method by which
popular opinion can find expression.
There has been no suffrage, and there
fore the ballot was represented by So
called demonstrations Whatever fur
ther occurrences of this sort take place
must be so interpreted.
con the day when the government
took its positive stand against the
extremists it was possible to see in
these demonstrations the quick turn in
public sentiment. Within two hours
after the anti-government parade
passed up the Nevsky the streets were
filled with cheering supporters OF the
government, and the effort of the ex-
tremists to create disorders was quick
ly overthrown, not by armed force,
but by the force of public opinion. 1t
should not be overlooked that these
disorders were local, and that the ma
tion at large, so enormous in terri
tory. quietly pursued its ordinary voca-
tlons.
"The future will hold other occa-
sions when superficial appearances will
seem alarming, but the real situation
will be in the hands Of ministry
which. even the most critical &C
knowledge, is composed OF the best
Russia can offer. These men are
working patriotically to the limit OF
their physical abilities TO bring mod
ern. progressive methods into govern
ment machinery that had become rusty
and Ineffective"

British Labor Party

selves from their party because Of the

Spanish Cortes Members
Get Salary in Candy

There is no salary attached to seats
in the Spanish Cortes, nor any liquid
comforts such as are supplied free Of
charge 10 legislators in certain other
countries. King Alfonso's government,
however, provides both Senators and
Deputies with an abundance of sweets
at the taxpayers expense, and when
ladies attend the sittinRs Of Parliament
they usually receive packet of comfits
with which 10 relieve the tedium of de
bate. There is an air Of formality
about the Spanish Chamber of Depu-
ties. owing 20 the unwritten law which
cOmpels all Deputies 10 wear frock
coats when attending 20 their parlia-
mentary duties. The president. too, is
fankod By macebearers in mediaval
costume, who are relieved every hour.

Austria Seeking
Peace on Basis
Of Cancellation
Empire Flights for Rights
of Peoples to Govern
Own Destiny"

Vienna, July 17.-Austria-H gary's
ideas on peace we're made known TO the
Constitution Committee Of the Reichs-
rat in an address by the Premier, Dr..
Won Seydler. After referring to the
unbreakable unity between Austria and
her allies, nr. Won Seydler declared
Parliament would work fo- "the aim
for which Austria is ighting-namely
the unassailable. sacred right of ncr
peoples TO decide for themselves their
internal destiny. This task, at the
same time. will be long stride in the
direction of an honorable peace which
we desire 20 create on the basis OF
justice, moderation and conciliation--
the firm unity of all civilized peoples
and their uniform endeavor to abolish
those circumstances which brought
about the world war. We are all long
ing for this peace. Until then we are
determined to hold on in firm coopera-
tion between front and homeland"
DR.. Won Seydler referred to the use
lessness Of all past efforts to carry out
the principle Of equal rights OF oil
nationalities laid down in the consti-
tuition. This, he said, was the cause
Of the political troubles which made
Austria appear sick, a state which
however. every clear minded person
knew did not prevail. All peoples OF
Austria, he said, were united external
ly and internally by common tie. by
love of the dynasty and the uniformity
of all vital interests.
The Premier said the constitution
did not contain provisions necessitated d
by the peculiarities of state composed
of various nationalities. The problem
he continued, was to carry out such
reforms as would enable these national
tiles to live together harmoniously
demonstrating that in Austria there
were no oppressed people, no desire fol
oppression and that the right Of self
government would be assured TO every
nationality within the state.
Enemy countries would thus be de
prived of a pretext for interfering ir
Austrian affairs. and at the same time
there would be established a secure
basis for prosperous development and
a peaceful future.
The lower house has adjourned in
definitely. The president, in conclud
ing his speech, said:
"We again have freed the way fol
constitutional life. We have strength
ened the assured position Of the House
May it have strength 70 fulfil the great
task OF rebuilding the empire

Menocal to Rid Cuba
OF Plotting Germans
Suspension Of Guarantees the
First Step in Routing Out
Secret Agents

Washington, July 17.-Cuba is TO be
no longer "a nest for Germans" The
island republic will be purged of agents
OF the Central Powers. with whom Cuba
is technically at war as an ally OF the
United States. This, 1t was learned to-
day, is the meaning of the suspension
by President Menocal OF the constitu-
tional guarantees. 1t had been charged
that German influences had succeeded
in interfering with necessary war legis-
la,ior and with having virtually ar
rested war preparations.
President Menocal has endeavored
for weeks 10 induce the Cuban Con-
gress to pass legislation needed to en-
able Cuba to play her most efficient,
part in the war. but influences, believed
10 be German. have blocked its passage
The s30,000,000 loan bill passed Con-
gress. but in a changed form, and the

Tension Is Caused
By Finland's Proposal
OF independence

Helsingfors. July 1.-THE proposed
nromuleation whereby Finland seeks
70 wrest from Russia complete inde-
nendence has caused extreme tension
and nervousness. The situation IS
oomnlicated by the Diets continual re-
fusal to grant full 350,OoO,OOO marks
loan to Russia and by threat OF
general strike if the Diet postpones
the passage OF the new communal bill
abolishing property qualifications. The
latter was the subject of demonstra-
ton in the Senate Square last night.
II no compromise is reached the bill
will be on third reading tomorrow,
backed by Socialists and handful Of
bourgeois members.
Other bourgeois members Of Swe-
dish Finnish nationality oppose the
measure, declaring they, too, support
in principle complete independence, but
the proposed law. they say, is. In
fact, unconstitutional. and coup
d'etat would be certain 70 provoke
Russias resentment. They demand
realization of their independence by
friendly negotiations with Russia. The
situation regarding loans is somewha.
alleviated. thanks TO American inter-
vention.
Lack Of Currency
A. |. Shingarof, Russian Minister
Of Finance, explained Russia's dificul-
ties through inability 10 pay her SOL
diers and sailors in Finland. owing %
the lack Of Finnish currency and Fin
lands refusal to accep. .he ruble.
Thereupon Americans undertook TO put
at Russias disposal all Finnish marks
o5tainable in America; also 10 furni,h
money Of other foreign currencies
which Finland accepts.
Governor General Stakovitch out
lined to The Associated Press Russia's
standpoint.
The seriousness of the situation to-
day." he said, "srises from the fac,
that a majority of the Senate in the
Diet abandoned legality and the prin-
ciple OF mutuality and insists on reeu-
lating its own interrelations by the
will of Finland alone.
THAT is not all. The new independ-
ence bill is also a fat violation of Fin
lands own continental laws.
Republic Is Proposed
"The present form of the bill pract-
cally establishes n Finnish republic, not
making any reference TO Russian con-
nection. II does not even recognize the
Governor Generalship. and although 1t
declares il does not apply to foreign
affairs or the army and navy. neverthe.
less il comedies to Russia no specific
right in these matters.

visional Government will consent TO
