Washington, Aug. 1S.-In a brief
filed today with the foreign rela-
tons committee of the United States,
Senator Joseph w. Folk, formerly
governor of Missouri. counsel for the
Egyptian commission, charges that
England under the guise of a pro-
tectorate over Egypt practically has
seized that country as a British pos
session.: that sin an annex to the
peace treaty the status of Egypt
would be made an international
question and beyond the jurisdiction
of the counsel of the League Of Ma
.tions, which counsel the Egyptians
desire to, pass upon the status of
Egypt"
The document sets forth that the
original occupation Of Egypt by Brit
ish troops in 1882 was claimed by
the British government to be merely
temporary for the purpose Of sup
pressing rebels and collecting debts
due the Europeans.

Folk Files Plea of Egypt
For Submission of Claims
To the League of Nations

Egyptian natives last April in the
streets of their cities while holding
demonstrations for freedom under
the self-determination clauses Of the
peace treaty..
Mr. Folk, who represents the COM
mission named by the legislative as

calls attention to the fact that Egyp-
tian troops. numbering one million,
fought on the side Of the Allies, to
make, as they believed, the world
safe for democracy" and ''for the
right Of national self-deter1S:nation

Independence Lost.
l.. Egypt before the war, he says, was
independent for all practical pur-
poses: On December IS, 1914. it is
stated, Great Britain removed the
ruler Of Egypt and appointed Prince
Hussein as sultan" ostenslhly as a
war measure. and assumed by the
Egyptians to be SUCH"
When the time came for making
peace. Mr.. Folk observes, The Egyp-
tan people naturally concluded that
since, under the League of Nations
they would be preserved from exter-
Great Britain would be removed. But
they were doomed to disappointment"

Released upon the recommended
ton Of General Allenby, it is said. it
reached Paris "only to find with
amaZement that q RECOGNITION Of the

In conclusion the brief states:
"The condemnation of Egypt with
out a hearing before an international

 TO PRESIDENT

 Communism.

Berlin, Thursday, April 3.---CBy The
 Associated Press. )---I!eaIing ethical
 philosophical and religious societies of Germany have addressed an appeal to
 President Wilson, giving warning against a disregard of principles to which MT. Wilson has pledged him self, which, they claim, induced Ger many to lay down her arms. The a,p- peal declares that If the Germans are driven to desperation, they would
 rather become Bolsheviki than slaves" and charges the Czechs and
 Poles with anticipating the conclu- siOns of the EAeece Conference and violating the Wusonlan principles. It says the Allies are not only 9ondOn- ing the acts of Czechs and Poles, but are supporting those nations '
 It is maintained the Allies provok-
 ed anarchistic conditions in Germany
 by refusing to relax the blockade. Ir discussing the possibility of a revival of militarisn. the appeal says: "Only one thing could again weld the Germans of every state into a warlike power-the continuation of the policy of hate and annihiIation that has
 been pursued by the Allies''
 Mir. WilsOn is warned that the United States, with it's great private fortunes and billion dollar trust is a fertile field for communism and 1t is suggested that wealthy Americans had better support the League of Nations"

SOVIET CRAFT
 MOUNTING, INTO
 MANY MILLIONS
Lenine Stopped Reforms When They Gut Into His
 Profits.

Some account of the corruption as practised by the Soviet government of Russia. is given in a special dispatch to ''The London Morning Post from Stockholm
 Fat as a BolsheviB,' has become a Sc9ndinavian proverb, according to the "Post's'' correspondent, who says:
 Tn a room in the handsome new building of the Ministry of Trade on the Tutchkoff Quay in Petrograd, whither now come citizens interested in the Soviet'S standardization of in dtustries. hangs a very edifying off, cial notice which reads:
 "Commissaries, be honest: Do not steal like the Czardom's s funCtionaries!---lSpe of Nicholas Lenine, of May 19, 1917"
 The room, which was formerly oc- cupied by the first provtSlonal gov ernment's very able Assis ,~0t Minis ter of Trade, M. Paltchinsky---a sworn foe to all soctaHstjc experi- ments---is now an ante-Chamber of the institution called the "Vulschi Soviet Narodnava. Khozaistva' that is, the Supreme Council of National Economy. In this councils strong hands lies the great standardization work.
  tice is opposite to an account of the unheard- of corruption of Bolshev- ism's officiaIdom. because the news paper "Pravda'' declares that the Su- prome Council is the most honest---or the least dishonest---state institution of Soviet Russia; and implies that all the other institutions are at least as dfshOnest as they were under the Czardom.
 "1rhe relative cleaning up of the Supreme Council is due---preCisely as all cleanings up of Czarist Russia were due---to the bIunder made by certain official enbeZZlers in going too far. As the Satirist Gogol said of one of Nicholas Is functiOnaries, these Soviet officials were caught stealing above their rank The Elk traordinary Commission for Combat ing Counter Revolution and Sabotage, under the guidance of the blood thirsty but personally incorruptible Pole, Dzerzfinski, thereuPon seized five of the councils guiltiest officials and shot them incontinently. This was part of a general campaign by Dzerzhinski against official corrup- tion.
 The campaign might have succeed ed had not too much zeal been shown. During the early autumn Soviet news papers published almost daily curt notices to the effect that the Com- mission for Combating Counter Rev olution yesterday shot the citizen X. for stealing: The bourgeois A. was yesterday sentenced to death for a corrupt export deal with the Danish citizen B. and so on, until at least POO thievish functionarieS were in their

The World War Veterans, who Or~ ganized a branch in this city three weeks ago, will hold a very important meeting tonight at ttAe EIks hall, State street, when Judge A. B. Beers will make an address. This is the third meeting of the organization and there are already 300 members in the local branch which has headquarters at the Warner building The national or ganization are at the Holland build Ting, New York city.

graves. But in his passion for power and rectitude Dzerzhinski enubbed Lenine himself, and as a result the Commissary of the Interior, Petrov- sky, passed a reform cutting down drastically the inconvenient commis- sion s power; its members in Moscow tWhere the head office occupied a house on the LlJbiant1a. from whose windows machine gun muzzles pro- trude), were naIie subordinate to the Central Soviet, and it's local branches were made subordinate to local so- viets.
 Since the executions for corruption have been few, and though Dzerzhin- ski by his special rigor purified---rel- atively---the Supreme Council of Ma tional Economy and imbedded grimly in it's memory Lenine's 'Commissa- ries, be honest!' all other Soviet in stitutions remained about as corrupt as they were before.
 The famous Minister of the In
 terior under the Czardom, Viatche- slav Piehve, once testified before q government commission that the official corruption was indescribabIe, but life in Russia would be unIivabIe were it not for this Corruptior' \ case lately handled by 8 BOlshevik revolutionary tribunal shows that this remark still applies. Soviet corrup-
 ton has by no means always bad re- suits; 1t sometimes even makes obIi- queIy for restitution of stolen goods. "A certain member of the pro- scribed bourgeoisie paid 25 per cent of his profits to a Soviet official on condition that the official secured him continuation of a pension IegaE; granted under the Czardom It leaked out that scores of bourge0IsIe Obtain pensions in the same way The BoI- sheTik appropriation system admits of certain exceptions; pensions from i the former imperial state which do not exceed an annual of 5000 Ca 1, trif1e in the present Appreciated cur rency) are still paid under certain conditions, and to the legislation linn iting the taking of money out of banks there are exceptions In ex- change for 20 or 25 per cent of the receipts the Soviet officials arrange the necessary conditions and 'eX- ceptions.'
 This system is almost universal. When the severe Dzerzhinslli learned of this kind of corruption, he tried get the cuIprits into his power a-
 
 the culprits were merely discharged from office with ignominy, and were immediately spirited away, apparent Iy in order that the rigorous investi- gation. which would naturally have involved other officials, should not take place.
 The member of the bourgeoisie in- yoIved admitted that this was ''or- ganized robbery of the state,'' but added that it was ''mercifuI inHuI- 1 sence" at the same time. The bour- geois, who in cities is given no bread at all and is further given no check to buy other food, manages to live as a result of the dishonesty of his tyrants. It is the same with th> l thousands of Russian emigres in Scandinavia. After being half ruin ed by Bolshevik robbery they profit i ed from Bolshevik dishonesty in or l der to smuggle abroad vast sums in rubIes. These rubIes are sold here at
