NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE most
effective aid the United States can
render to Russia is economic assist
ance," the American-Russian chamber
of commerce declared in a statement
made public today
No matter how effective the present
movements may be in regard to elimi-
mating the destructive elements in
Russias life, the announcement stated,
they cannot bring about a sound ba-
sis for Russia's regeneration unless
economic assistance and aid of the
most generous character are fully pro-
vided for
Russia is rich in raw material the
statement continued, and does not
ask charity, but full assistance for the
restoration and reconstruction of its
economic life. 1t faces a terrible win
ter. An ordinary suit of clothes is
said to cost $500, sugar SIG pound,

prices. The peasants have furs, fax
and hides stored in large quantities
which they desire to exchange for Am

Economic assistance will not only
help win the war, but will save thou

NEY YORK, Aug. 14-Profiteering
by retailers by advancing prices to
cover government taxes which they do
not have to pay has been discovered
by William H. Edwards, internal reve-
nue. collector here. He said today
that certain automobile dealers and
jewellers had jumped prices to more
than cover the three per cent. sales
tax they have to pay on the manu-
facturers price and then in addition
charged the customer with 3 per cent.
sales tax which they fraudulently
laimed they also had to pay the gov
eminent He cited an instance of the
manufacturers prices of an automo-
bile at $4,000, on which the retailer
paid SIS extra to cover the tax being
jumped to $4,000, and the buyer of it
charged $50 extra or three per cent
to cover the retailers alleged tax.
Prosecutions may be taken against
some concerns, Mr.. Edwards said.
