IMPERIAL ISM WILDE
DEATH OF S0v|ET|SM
Esthonian Foreign Minister Says
Lenine and Trotzky Are
Doomed to Fail.

London. Aug. 25--Just as imperialism
killed czarism so will Imperialism be the
death of Russian sovietism, is the predic-
ton made to The Associated Press corre-
spondent by M. Pip, the Esthonlan
foreign minister in London, IN analyzlng
the consequences of the Bolshevik Of
fensive in Poland.
While foreign minister, last year, M:
Pip pitted his wits against the Bolsheviki
at Dorpat and he is regarded as one of the
best authorities in Europe on Russian
political and economic conditions.
In common with representatives here
of other Russian border states, M. Pup
is watching with profound concern the
developments In Poland.
"The Bolsheviki are fighting Poland
with the Allies ammunition which they
captured from Denikine and kolchak,
he said This is now almost exhausted
and Russia cannot renew 1t.
Discussing the possibility of an attack
by the Bolsheviki on Esthonia, Nj. Pup
said:
1--WE are ready for them. The Esthonian
front Ter is now closed by our troops ex-
cept the gates through which we are
trading with Russia. The Soviet govern
ment must know if it succeeds IN obtain
ing a foothold in Esthonia the Allies
would instantly cut off Russia from the
vitality needed supplies it is now receiving
through us We might perish but Soviet
Russia would go down with us.
Nj. Pip asserted that Russia's eco
nomic condition was rapidly getting worse
because this seasons crop was failure
He said it was not unlikely that the cities
will soon be wholly depopulated.
'The Soviet government dare not re
duce its enormous army" he concluded
Unemployment is now a critical problem
throughout the whole of Russia and if the
men who, as soldiers are comparatively
well cared for, were thrown on their own
resources a revolution would result. The
chief terror which the Soviet rulers have
to face is peace and rehabilitation"

FURTHER DROP IN SOFT
COAL PRICES PREDICTED
Wholesale Director Looks for Sta
BILE Level of 81 a Ton in
December.

Washington, Sept. 11.-Bitumrnous
coal prices win continue TO decline through
out the country until a staple price OF
about 81 a ton Is reached in December,
according to statement made bere
yesterday by George Ii. Gushing, director
of the National Wholesale Coal Associa-
ton. Consumers of anthracite coal prob
ably will be compelled TO pay as high
and perhaps a slightly higher price than
they are now paying, accord ing to Mr..
Gushing. He does not think there Will
be any decline in anthracite coal prices.
Cushinginsisted that the declining price
for bituminous coal has resulted from
relief from the panic started In the coal
trade by the predictions of a famine.
Already this panicky condition has died
down and the prices have dropped, be
insisted BY December, he said, the market
would be satuated andfthe bottom level
of prices would be reached.
Reviewing the anthracite situation,
Mr.. Gushing showed that prices in the
neighborhood of SIS ton could he ac-
counted for without the slightest diff
Guilty He said with the dissolution OF
the anthracite producing companies and
the railroads which controlled them, an
other margin of profit might be added
on by the anthracite producers. lie SAID
he was of the opinion that the railroads
which controlled anthracite production,
quoted anthracite at the mines at cost
prices and made their profit on railroad
freight rates. They may now abondon
this practice and take profit, he said.
"You will not see anthracite down to
the level which obtained before the war
for some years to come and possibly never,
he said ''The price will never get back
until some of these inflated values are
wiped out. The costs which go into pro-
ducing the coal must be reduced before
the price of the coal is going to come
down"
