NEW YORK, March 22.-Recogni- tion of the Lenine-T -TrotZky govern ment by the United States and the al lies was urged by Colonel Raymond Robins, former head of the American Red Cross mission to Russia, in an address here today before the league of free nations association.
 Asserting that since his retirement from the mission, he felt no longer the necessity of silence, Colonel Robins vigorously defended the bolsheviki leaders and criticised the attitude of the United States toward them.
 Colonel Robins said he had found that the soviets were the only force in Russia "who could get something done and done expeditiously." De- lending Lenine and Trotzky, he said they would not have signed the Brest- Litovsk treaty with Germany had their overtures to the allies been accepted.
 'T believe" declared Colonel Robins, "that Russia has the right to have the kind of government the Russian people want and 1 do not believe that any government set up by foreign rifles can be maintained, except by foreign rifles.

Foster Still critieises

KANSAS CITY, March 22-Criti- cism of the war departments answer to his charges that undue leniency was shown to conscientious objectors. was voiced here tonight by Major Richard B. Foster, who had declared in a speech yesterday that Secretary of War Zaker had Intentionally or unir- tentionally adopted the role of protec- tor of the I. W. W. and international socialists and humanitarians."
 s'The only denial uttered declared Major Foster, "is of a statement 1 did not make. It is too obvious an at tempt to discredit all my charges. by indicating charged local draft boards with being a party to the secret plans for the comfort of the obsuuctionists.
 What I did say was that local drafts had been instructed to send all mtn between the ages of 21 and 51 to the camps, and the public believed they were to enter combatant or non combatant branches of the service
 sI went on to say there was an inner working of the military program of which the public knew nothing. in that secret orders to commanders OF camps and cantonments provided i'm munity from service or punishment to all who had personal scruples against war
 Examination of my notes and of the published reports of my speech will show there was no allegation of local draft boards being party to the secret plans for the solace of the ob- | structionists."

Charges Police

S|X BILLIONS PROBABLE SUM
 IF APR|L JUAN
TRepublican A. p. Leased Wire]

WASHINGTON, March 22. - Wlth the announcement today that collec- tions from the first 25 per cent install ment payment of income and proflts taxes last Saturday amounted to Sl,- 001 ,O00, GOO, and might go higher with later reports, the last financial mile stone preceding the Victory -Lioerty loan had been passed, and 1t seemed probable that the loan will be for ap- proximately s6,000,000,000.
 Governors of federal reserve banks attending a conference closing tonight, were told that although official state ments of the amount of the loan here tofore have referred to five or six bil- Iions' the higher figure was nearer correct
 Tax collections of a little more than a billion dollars indicated that the otal tax yield this year from income and profits levies would be more than four billions and might reach the s4,7oo,o0o,- 900 estimate of congress. at the time of enaeting the revenue bill.
 The aggregate of first installment payments will bring into the treasury only about s200, ,000, 900 net at this time however, since $s00,oO0,000 is required to pay certificates of indebtedness ma turing coincidentally with the tax pay ments.
 In support of the belief that the treasury would make s6,000, 100000 the goal of the Victory Liberty loan, cam paign officials pointed out that $4,- S55,000, 900 certificates of indebtedness were outstanding, to be redeemed out of proceeds from the loan, and they said that probably another billion must be issued before loan receipts begin to pour in. Proceeds from the certi- ficates will be required to pay ordinary government expenses for two months, now running at the rate of S1,200, 900, = 900 a month. and to redeem little more than s600,000,000 of certificates falling due before May 6.
 The treasury has available to meet current cash requirements about s1,- TOOL 900, a rather high net balance, not including all the tax receipts from last weeks collections. Officials. however, do not desire to let the cash working balance get below a billion dollars, for this is less than a months expenses.
 Indications now are that unless the Victory Liberty loan is largely over subscribed the treasury will have to begin within a few months after the campaign to market new securities, selling them mainly to banks, as a means of meeting future government expenses.

Carl Hayden Is For League If
 1t Is Amended

DOUGLAS, Ariz., March D. America vii! be less likely to be drawn into war if she is a member of a league of nations than as an outsider" said Carl Hayden, con eressman for Arizona. who ar rived here tonight en route to his home in Phoenix from Washington, D. C. "Even the republican sem ators who are fighting the presi- . dent say league of nations is needed; it is the form of the ori- ginal draft they object to. 1 ad- nit that this was ambiguous in some parts and some of the word- ing will have to be changed, but the essence is there. The senate will have the final word as to whether the United States will ac- cept the treaty made in Paris, as will the British parliament and the treaty making bodies of the other nations participating in the con ference. Doubtless most nations will accept the treaty in the main but with reservations upon several points. These can be fought out in the final draft"

EMINENT JAPANESE PAYS HIGH RESPECT
 ID ROOSEVELT NAME

SAN FRANCISCO. March 22.-In an address read at banquet given in his honor here tonight by Tamekichi Ohta, Japanese consul general, Baron Shimpei Goto, former civil governor of Formosa, and former minister of foreign affairs of Japan, pledged the loyal friendship of Japan to the United States and expressed the hope that President Wilson can carry out the scheme of safeguarding the democ- racy of the world" Guests included Mayor James Rolph and United States Senator James D. Phelan. Baron Goot does not speak English and his ad- dress was read by his secretary.
 After paying a tribute to the late Theodore Roosevelt and declaring that the late Emperor Meijo of Japan and the American statesman were pos sessed of similar characteristics, Baron Goto's address said:
 ''We are friends and, broadly speak ing, stand on a ground of common in terest. Differences there are, to be sure, but they are of the kind which occur. whenever peoples and nations meet. It is just such differences that enrich life, and keep it going health fully. They are life's broadening in- fluences and not an irreducible di- lemma- Mutual trust and frankness are the only solution, as is so beauti- fully illustrated in the case of tho gentlemen's agreement. xxx.
 Japanese are Peaceful
 "Let me invite your attention to ths character of our political tradition I wish to speak of it here particular. Lly because there seems to prevail : mistaken impression that even thougl the Japanese as individuals are peac, loving, as a nation they are aggressive and imperialistic. xx That is {; mistake. True, the Japanese politica 1 tradition is a monarchial one. It ha4 been so for 2,500 years-ever sine the beginning of our history. We ar | all proud of this tradition and hav never thought of changing it. The con | f1ict of class interests which led in tn west to the rise of modern democracy has never taken place in our history certainly, never in such degree a it did, for instance, in England, whel modern democracy was born. x xxx

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, March 22. Ex- tracts from reports of the international commission of inquiry which has been Investigating crimes and atrocities al- legged to have been committed by the Bulgars on the Serbian population during the war, were made public here today by the official information bu- reau of the kingdom of the Serbs, Greats and Slovens.
 The report charges that a reign of terror, designed to exterminate the Serbian people in the Macedonian and Morava districts, was carried out by the Bulgarians and that thousands of civilians were tortured and massacred.
 Official documents. the reports as- serted, prove conclusively that the Bull garian authorities gave orders which were directly responsible for the com mission of the crimes. A Bulgarian bishop, defining the policy of the gov ernment, was quoted as saying:
 There must be but one master in the Ba1kans-the Bulgarian people"
 Atrocity after atrocity is related in the reports. It was alleged that when the Bulgarians passed through villages all the influential residents and the members of their families were put to death, aswere old men and women and even nursing babies. Rich men were tortured to make them give up their money and then were killed, it was charged.
 The Bulgarians were particularly cruel to women, it was stated, and in | stances were cited where the Bulgar- ians outraged and killed them in large numbers
 Many instances were said to have been reported by eye witnesses, where the Bulgarians in moving masses of Serbians between internment camps or from one town to another, butchered the helpless victims. The Bulgarian authorities were charged with having been especially fond of beating women, particularly the wives of Serbian of ficers and school masters, and with having persecuted the Serbian clergy with pitiless cruelty. Many were ] buried alive. it was said.

Classify Economic Subjects

PARIS, March 22-(By the Asso- ciated Press) The economic subjects to be introduced into the preliminary peace treaty were definitely determined at a meeting of the economic commis sion today. These take a wide range, the important subjects including the disposition of German patents, trade marks and copyrights, and alien prop erty such as that held by the cucto- dian of such property in the United States.
 The main subjects which will appear in the treaty are:
 First. the future status of German commercial treaties with the allied countries, all of which have been ab rogated.
 Second, a tariff arrangement under which trade may be resumed and pro- viding against discrimination between the allied countries
 Third, provision regulating pre-war contracts between German business in terests and allied business interests which were suspended by the war.
 Fourth, provisions for the disposition of German property in allied countries, mostly in the hands of government custodians. and also allied property in Germany. This branch includes Ger man patents, trademarks, and copy rights.
 Fifth, provision for the assembling of an international conference to deal with economic and commercial ques- tions.
 The foregoing subjects are being drafted in treaty form for inclusion in the treaty.
 WASHINGTON. March 22.-Reports from Paris of efforts to entwine the constitution of the league of nations inextricably in the peace treaty de- veloped discussion today among sen ators still in Washington, of questions of senate procedure not hitherto en- phasized.
 Although a two-t thirds vote of the senate is required for ratification o1 treaties, senators pointed out thai under the rule amendments may bt adopted by a majority vote. Senator Borah of Idaho, republican, critic o the league plan, declared this would give opponents distinct advantage, a. it would enable a bare majority to re wise the league constitution or sep arate it from the peace treaty.
 Other senators, however, said thu majority rule might well become al important asset of senators support ing the league. The latter believe ; majority of the senate's membershiI favors a league of some description, al l though they estimate that more thai a ajority oppose the existing draft
