FRENCH INVESTED
 MONEY IN RUSSIA
Half of Debt of MuscoVite Empire
 Held in France

Correspondence The Associated Press }
 Paris, Jan. 3O-The repudiation by the Bolshevik government of Russia S entire bonded debt caused some anxiety among French people who held at least half of the debt of the empire outstanding at the beginning of the war
 Eighteen billions of francs of Rus sian bonds, at the price of issue, were listed on the Paris Bourse. Twelve billions according to the lowest esti- mates and fifteen billions according to other calculations, were bought by the French public.
 Servants in white aprons bare headed market women, domestics of all categories and men in the b1ouses of the peasant and the laborer mad e up the long lines of investors in front of the wickets whenever Rus sian loans were offered for sale.
 II haven't d sou invested in Rus sia,'' a millionaire Parisian said to The Associated Press, -1but every one of my servants has one or more Rus sian bonds Another millionaire, said the same was true of his household. Instead of hitting the counting house and the salon, the BolsheviId are hitting the servants hall and the ba ckstairs'' was the way he put the situation.
 There is no little apprehension in socialist circles as to the effect of this heavy blow the extreme revoll1- tionary element in Russia has de- Iivered at the extreme liberal element in France. A peasant or workin gman who may overlook or disbe1ieve news of BoIshevik eXcesses or misconstrue their effect will be unable to doubt the evidence of his own despoilment.
 Until now the holders of Russian bonds have been treasured by the payment of the January coupons which the French treasury assumed. It doesn't appear yet, however, whether the French government will

It is estimated that the number of such reports filed will be 20,0O0,OOO.
 The Bureau of Internal Revenue. through various agencies has enGeaV- ored to inform taxpayers everywhere of the requirements of the income tax laws.

Fortunately for the &Vlf-TeSpCct of the American Nation, the Bureau is anticipating few such cases. The Bureau bas ample and conclusive proof that these taxes for the sup port of the war will be paid cheer fully anG willingly by the great ma jority of the people.

assume the burden indefinitely and if the bankruptcy of the revolution is allowed to become effective, the greater number of the smaller in vestors who have been financing the Russian empire since 1888 will be ruined.
 A contrast is drawn here between the action of the BolsheViki and that of the French revolution. The Maxi nlalists pretend that the money loaned to Russia was used to buy arms to keep the people in subjec- ton. This was true to far greater extent of the money borrowed by the French monarchy prior to 17S9, yet the convention made it a point of honor to take those debts to the ac- count of the republic.
 The claims that money furnished by France brought no benefit to the people of Russia is also contested. It is possible to trace the money through the official list of the loans foated in Paris and it is found that m ore than three-fourths of the capital represented was employed to buy

 Imports From European Russia
 The articles Imported from Euro pean Russia in, 19N show fluctua- ttons from the epre-war list. Calf skins, which were imported to the value of $7,50O,0e in 1913, were put on the embargo list after the war started and failed to appear in the 1915 and 1916 returns. In 1917, however American firms succeeded in obtaining $1, ,G34, 900 worth by special license Since other hides and skins, imports eof which in 191 amounted to about $S,D00,0GO, have ceased to figure in the trade, the to- tai decrease ill this class of goods alone was sb0ut $14,000.0OO. An other item that was lost to the l91 trade was carpet wool of whIch,aoout S2,5O0, ,OD0 worth was sent to this country in 1913. On the other hand, several articles showed renEarkable increases which indicate, not neces- sarily that larger quantities of these Russian goods are coming into the United States but that purchases are being made direct from Russia ln- stead of through other countries Flax, furs, bristies, and sugar-beet seed were formerly handyed through Germany and England The direct imports into the United States from Russia were comparatively small amounting in 1913 to $S66,000 for flax, S292,000 for furs $2&, 900 for bristles, and $40,OOO for sugar-beet seed the 1917 figures were $3,05S, 900 for fax $2,37O.000 for furs, $4O7,OOO for bristles, and $2,442, 900 for sugar. beet seed. Potassium carbonate was an insignificant item before the war ($3,724 in 1913) and did not appear in the returns for 1915 and 1916, but in 1917 American imports of this ar- ticle from European Russia amount ed to $S00,000.

'import k]lat has dropped out of sight during th@ war period. Sausage cas- ings, however, rose from $99 in 1915 to $996,C00 in 1917, sugar-beet seed from $7,423 to $242,Oo0, furs from $127 ,O0O to $1SS, 900, and carpets and rugs from $1O7, 900 to $240,000; while purchases of grass seeds, which were not imported in 1913, were valued at $138. 600 in 1917. The decrease of nearly $2,000,O00 in the 1917 total for ASiatic Russia from the figures for the preceding year represented greatly diminished shipments of sugar beet seed, licorice root, grass seeds which were at their maximum in 1916, with the following values: Sugar-beet seed, $1,05S,O00; Hcorice root, s1 1000, and grass seeds, $334,000.
 In the sales to European Russia, other than war supplies, it is interest ing to note that the value of exports of mowers and reapeEs alone (S5, 0O0O surpassed in 1917 the 1913 eX- ports of all agricultural implements ($53I2 ,O0O) and exports of binder twine were almost twice the normal figures ~($945, 900 in 1913 and $1,so6,- GOO in 1917) and almost nine times
  to Asiatic Russia, of both these items were less than in 1916. Locomotives worth $11,2S1, 1000, and railway track material valued at S5,S6 900 were sent to European and ASiatic Russia together in 1917, as against $3,727 900 innd $4,407 900, respectively, in the preceding year. There was a marked decline, however, in exports of freight cars, which were valued in 1916 at $4, ,112 900 for European Russia, and $7,994, 900 for Asiatic Russia, and in 1917 at only $763,000 for European Russia, and $1,264, 900 for Asiatic Russia. This trade in railway equip ment has originated since the war started.
 Cotton Falls
 Raw >cotton shipme tents to European Russia in 1917 were valued at S2,- 16S, 900 ass against $9,217,0OO in 1916. the latter surpassing the normal di- rect shipments of 1913 ($7,52,0aO). The falling off was even greater in exports to Asiatic Russia, which amounted to> S12,S19,991 fin 1916, and $1, 1000 in 1917. Even the record figures, of 1916 did not approach the actual normal shipments of American cotton to Russia, most of which was sent by way of Germany and was crediteds to Germany in the statistics. Exports of sole leather to European and Asiatic Russia together in 1911 ($7, ,930O0O) almost doubled the fig Eres for the preceding year ($4,074,- OO0). Before the war this article was sent to Russia only in insignificant quantities.
 Tn December, 1917. platinum to the value of approximate $2,000,- 900 was brought over from Russia, but as it was still in bond when taken over by the government it is not shown in the statistics.
