Huge business enterprises were

And the most stupendous and long

Some idea Of the size of this ad-

ENGLAND SEEK
RUSSIAN TRADE
Scheme Devised by Board of
Trade Based On Govern
ment Insurance; Ask Fed
eraI Aid.

London, June %. Correspond
ence, of The Associated Press.)-
British merchants have devised a
far-reaching scheme, based to q
great extent on government insur-
ance. for capturing the trade of non
bolshevik Russia. They want to
put their goods into white" Russia
before the Germans have . chance
to do so but, apart from agricultural
machinery on which the United
States already has the call, England,
by this plan, could be far ahead of
any other nation.
The department OF overseas trade
Of the board of trade which is a gov
eminent institution with q cabinet
member at the head, has prepared
. bill for submission to Parliament
set aside 4 found Of $l25, 100000 to
finance the insurance on the trans?
portation OF British goods into Rus
sia. Sir Arthur Steel-Maitland, head
OF the overseas trade board, has
been selected to pilot the bill
through the Commons.
The bill provides that merchants
shalt be furnished with commercial
information regarding Russia: that
regular sailings shall be arranged;
that goods shall be insured and that
banks shall be enabled to make ordi-
nary ADVANCES to traders. Banks
could also issue warrants. against
collateral security of insured goods
and the warrants would be valid for
purchase of British goods. They
would have fixed value in British
mercy.
Sponsors of the scheme point out
thatsthe government probably would
make profit as was done through
the war risk insurance scheme. That
netted the government $85,000,0OO

Worst Conditions in
Poor District Yelled,
Queen Mary Thinks

London,-The queens concern
for the welfare of her people was
exemplihed in striking manner
when she summoned Lieut.. Col.
w. J, Lewis, mayor Of Bethnal
Green. to Buckingham palace to OBJ
tain frst-hand knowledge Of the
housing conditions in the poorer dis
tricts of his borough.
He told the queen that over
long series of years the Bsthnal
Green authorities had been en-
deavoring to act. He quoted the
death rate in one part of the Bethnal
Green area as being three times
higher than the average mortality
for London, while as to the density
of population the borough had Az
inhabitants to the acre. as against
the acknowledged health standard
of IS.
The London county council had
prepared a scheme of which Bethnal
Green did not approve. The Brady
street area, as he had explained, was
the worst. and the councils scheme
did not deal with the worst part
of it.
The queen examined the plans
carefully and with interest, and
asked many questions about the
properties and the people who have
to live in them. At one point in
the mayors story her majesty ex-
claimed Indignantly:
ut is pretty clear to me that
when I have visited the poorer dis
tricts l have been taken mainly to
the highways and not to the by
ways"
The mayor described another set
of properties known as "baek-to-
back" houses. Only the front of
each cottage was open to the air.

represented the donation of a sum

city, this in spite of the fact that
other enterprises were demanding
subsidies. But what did the towns
people care for expenses? The
boom was on!
The Bubble Bursts.
In a few years, the bubble burst,
but in those few years the cotton
mill phahtasm had been wrought in
brick and cast iron and heavy tim
bers. And, perforce, it continued to
operate. Strangely enough, when
madness and suicide were stalking
through the streets of the stricken
city, in the gloomy days which fol-
lowed the collapse of the boom, the
cotton mill was doing a prosperous
business. Its 500 employees were
producing a muslin equal in quality

it not been for the labor situation

usefulness.

Long Dead Dream.
To nocturnal travellers the old
cotton mill is a thing of enehant-

window pane here and there (mira-
