ATTITUDE OF TROTzKY
ENTIRELY UNWARRANTED
HIS Statement Concerning American
Red Cross Mission Due to
ignorance OF Facts.
NO PART IN CIVIL STRIFE
State Department Docs Not Believe
Bolshcvik Foreign Minister Will
Persist in His Stand When He
Realizes True State OF Affairs.

WASHINGTON. December 2i.-Statc
department officials declared TODAY
mat the statements OF Leon Trotky.
Inc EoiShevik Foreign Minister that
the American Red Cross mission in
Russia was giving ala 10 the opponents
OF the Bolshcvik movement, could be
attributed only to his ignorance OF the
lacts report from Ambassador
Francis on the arrest of Colonel Kol-
rash:nof. an attache Of tho Rcd Cross
mission. while in charge OF relief
train. had not reached the State Dc
partmcnt.
The State Department does no, be-
lieve Trot%ky will persist in his atti-
tudc, however, when he realizes the
true state OF affairs. Arrangements
we're made in this country some time
$50 for Strengthening the ambulance
corps Of Russia with scvcnty-eight
ambu iances and other supplies much
needed in certain districts. II was
deemed advisable to send them via the
Roumanian frontier. This was done
with the approval Of the Russian Red
Cross.
The incident OF money which i, was
alleged Ambassador Francis had offered
and the ins!nuation that it was in
tended as bride 10 the enemies OF
the Bo!shcviki had no other signifi-
canoe, 1t was announced than hui
manitarian. 1t was merely the ordi-
nary transfer OF money Through the
embassy sent by the Red Cross and
intended for relief work.
The State Department regards the
action OF Trotzky as entirely unwar-
rantcd.

grades and prices was made bv ina government in nine states including Arkansas in 1913-14 and 3S,00O sam pies were examined. The renort showed that the farmers got nracti- cally nothing more than middlino price for their highest and best erade of cotton, and that in ElDorado. Scar cy, Camden and other towns there was from S4.OO to $12.50 difference paid for bales of the same grade on the same days. This will show the im- portance and value of gin samples and government grading. Heretofore. cotton fro mArkansas, Oklahoma and Louisiana has been docked in price equal to five per cent by the spinners on account of the cotton ginned wet plated and false packed. At the pres ent price this dockage amounts to six dollars bale. The object of the law IS to overcome this and other losses and wastes, and to form a basis for systematic marketing.
 Some of the ginners favor the law. Others oppose it. Some claim it is an. inconvenience and will cause extra ex- pense. It might be argued that to put bagging and ties on the bale and to weigh the cotton before and after gin ming, is also an expense, but as these things are necessary the expense and trouble are forgotten. The gin law in this state is virtually copy of the Texas gin law. The Texas law was tested in the courts and upheld. The Texas law has been in force since 1914.
