Parcels Of Land Were Distributed

BERLIN. September 2o-A reliable
person who left Moscow August 20
has given me the following summary
of the conditions under bolshevism in
Russia.
Only 10 per cent of the people under
Lenin's rule are really bolshevist. His
strongest support comes from peas
ants, among whom the red govern
ment has distributed substantial par
cells OF land. They fear that II boil
shevism is overthrown this land will
be taken away from them. They are
also making money, as everything
they produce can be sold at very high
prices.
People Weary; Soldiers Desert.
However, everybody wants peace.
The people are tired Of war, and even
the soldiers are constantly deserting.
The bolshevist leaders are not active
in apprehending the deserters. who
are persuaded to return TO the red
army by an unofncial council of youth
full theorists who are skilled in ex.
pounding bolshevist ideals in convinc-
ing phrases.
The reason for the bolshevist sue
cesses Is that while their troops are
Of poor quality. those sent against
them in Esthonia, Lithuania and else
where are still more unreliable.
The bolsheviki have passed laws
providing for education for every
one. but 1t means nothing, because
nobody knows how to organize a gen.
eral school system or is familiar with
the methods of teaching the young
Likewise Lenin's government has
made it possible Con paper) for cou-
pies to marry by civil service inde-

authorized to perform such ceremo-
MES. -
Government Control Fails.
Manufacturing is going on in a slip
shod manner. Some of the factories
which the government took over have
been returned to private ownership.
as the authorities failed in their ef-
forts to run them.
Current stories Of atrocities were
not confirmed by my informant, but
his judgment is that the people are
not happy under bolshevist rule.

Expectations that Brazil would
weaken owing to evidences of poor buy
ing power abroad seemed to attract con-
siderable selling pressure. but firm offers
from Brazil came about unchanged to q
little higher and the primary markets
have all along failed to follow occa-
sionaf declines in the market here. A
coffee merchant recently returned from
an eight months stay in Brazil, stated
that the Santos crop would be more likely
| to fall below 5000, 900 bags than go
above that amount and bases this claim
on the. fact that he has been all through
the coffee growing sections and has seen
the damage done over year ago by the
frosts. He stated that contracts were
selling on the exchange here at S14 per

Hustled PLANS TO
STABILIZE DOLLAR
N. Y. Representative Asks for
Joint Committee to De-
wise Means.
spsc,al p.spatca 70 TEE sus.

wAsHINoroN, Sept s.-Believing that
the low purchasing power OF the dollar
Is the real cause of the high cost Of
living. Representative Hustled IN. ~ to-
day introduced resolution in the House
asking the appointment of joint Con-
gressional committee to devise means Of
stabilizing the gold dollar.
According to figures cited by Mr..
Hustled. 81 cents would purch ase as large
a quantity of necessities at wholesale
in 1896 as $1.96 would in 1918, and 81
would purchase as much at wholesale in
1913 as s1.s6 did in 1918.
at Is alleged" said Nc. Hustled, that
such decrease of purchasing power Is
due to the instability of gold as q stand
ard of value and its marked decrease
in purchasing power during recent years
is due to the largely increased supply
of gold held by the United States and
the imitation of currency and credit rem
dered necessary by Var conditions.
"a plan has been suggested by an
eminent economist to stabilize the pur-
chasing power of the American dollar
SO that 1t will at all times and under all
circumstances purchase approximately
the same quantity Of the necessities OF
| life. and such plan has been approved by
eminent cCouOiuiSiSs bahhcASs 1soAASoe
men and business and scientific organi-
zations and societies.
at Ia believed to be highly desirable
| to effect such Sterilization in purchas-
| ing power, IL 10 can be practically ac-
compiished, in order that the. ratio be-
tween wages and prices and salaries
and prices may remain as constant as
possible"
The plan which Mr.. Hustled has in
mind was suggested by DIR. Irving T.
Fisher of Hazard and comprehended
making the number Of grains of gold in
a gold dollar conform monthly with an
index number. which in turn indicates
the average price Of wide range Of
commodities. At present there are
| 20 $40 grains OF gold in a gold dollar.
Department of Labor experts would
make the monthly average of the same
number and character of commodities.
and the number of grains in a dollar
would be lowered or raised accordingly.
Thus the purchasing power of the dollar
always would be maintained at the same
\ point.

SHORT LINES WANT LAWS.
Association Urges LesisIation ts
Aid Financial Needs.

WASHINGTON. Sept. s.-oficers Of the
American Short Line Railroad Assoeia-
ton urged the House Interstate Com
merce Committee to-day for legislation
to direct the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to give preferred consideration
to the financial needs of the short line
roads. If the lines do not receive con-
sideration at the hands Of Congress, Z"
they said, there will be wholesale liqui-
dations."
L. s. Cass OF Waterloo. Ia. principal
owner OF two Iowa short line roads
urged that the Interstate Commerce
Commission be given the power to pre-
scribe the division OF rates to be made
between the short and trunk lines
Shipping services performed by the
short and trunk lines are identical, he
said. except as to mileage. Thirty-six
per cent. OF a rate. he declared. is the
cost of freight movement over the rails
and he urged that that part be pro-
rated according to mileage between the
two roads, with the remaining ca per
cent. divided equally between them.
