tsT MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wiRgl 1
st, Johns n. F., June 16.-The
steady shifting of Newfoundland
imports from Great Britain to Can
ada and the United States is shown
in foreign trade figures just made
public here. Imports from Great
Britain in 1909 were valued at s2,
493,610 and in 1919 at $2,399, $50.
In the same period imports from
Canada increased from $3,937,00s
to s12,7776s4 and from the United
States from $4,S32,6S0 TO S16,569,-
236.
The climate of Newfoundland Is
so severe that all OF it's food sup
plies, except fish, a few farm pro-
ducts and small quantity of meat,
have to be imported. Practically
all clothing, furniture and house
hold goods also come from abroad,
Until about twenty years ago these
imports were divided almost equal
ly between Great Britain, Canada
and the United States, but since
then the tendency each year has
been to buy less from the mother
country and more from the nearer
neighbors.
AS the value of articles imported
has doubled since the beginning
of the war, the falling off in bulk
of imports from Great Britain Is
much greater than indicated in the
figures of value, Although the Diff
ficulties of transport across the At
antic, especially during the war,
ave had to do with this, 1t is very
argely attributed to the activities
IF American and Canadian CONNER
cial travellers.
Business interests here have been
l.ined that British traders are

they believe they have the right to

I'VE will show Governor Allen
that he has undertaken a bigger

Governor Allen says he is going

NATIONS LEAGUE
COUNCIL HEARS
ITS FIRST CASE
Initial Bit of International
Adjudication, Persia Ver-
sus Soviet Russia, Is Re-
manded For Present.

London, June 16 (by the Asso-
ciated Press. 1.-The case of Persia
versus soviet Russia, the first bit
of international adjudication un-
dertaken by the council of the
league of nations, was remanded
this morning, pending the result of
the bolshevik promise to cease ag-
gression in Persia and withdraw
the landing party operating in the
neighborhood of EnZel.
The supporters of the league an
ticipated action by the council on
the Persian appeal for intervention
as the first practical test of its
power to settle international dis
putes, but the council after two
days secret elaboration, concluded
that it was desirable in order 10
give every opportunity for success
of the exchanges now going on be-
tween Teheran and MOSCOW, TO
await the fulfillment of Moscow's
declared intentions before deter
mining the manner of bringing the
leagues machinery into play.
Lord Curzon, British foreign sec
rotary, bringing up the subject at
the public meeting today at st
James palace, said the council had
rendered its sympathy to the Per
sian government in the difficult
position in which it had been
placed and agreed that it had done
right in opening discussion with
the Russians.
Sir Eric Drummond, regarding
sending an investigating commits
sion to Russia, announced that the
council could do no more than note
Moscow's refusal of May 26 to re-
ceiye such commission. The
grounds for this refusal were stat
ed in the soviet reply to the ,coun-
ellis first request for permission TO
investigate the country, when the
soviet foreign minister, Nj. Tchlt-
cherin, said that the question or
safety prevented it from receiving
the commission until the situation
created by the Polish offensive
had taken a more favorable turn.
Reporting his investigation OF
the problems connected with the
repatriation of prisoners OF war
who had been unable to return
home, especially those in captivity
in Siberia, DR.. Friduof Nansen,
special commissioner in this work,
estimated the prisoners in the ter
ritories of the late Russian empire
at approximately a quarter OF
million and the number OF Russian
and other prisoners still In Ger

tries at no less. .

OWN YOUR OWN
APARTMENT IS
SLOGAN IN N. Y.
Tenants Are Launching a
Movement to Become
Property Owners and Thus
Escape Paying High Rents
tsr MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED w,srl


New York, June 16.-An "own
your own apartment" movement is
in full swing here. Two late evil
dences of its growing strength are
the purchase by the tenants for
$2,500,000 of an apartment house
on Fifth avenue and the starting
construction on a cooperative
apartment on Park avenue. which
Ia to cost 100000.
Just the other day 1t was an
nounced that woodrow court. an
apartment house occupying the
entire block front on upper Broad
way, between 169th and 10th
streets had been sold for 100000
to the ffty-three families residing
in the structure. This is said to
be the first deal Of such magnitude
to be 100 per cent cooperative and
in which tenants of moderate
means have participated. In this
deal each tenant only put up a few
thousand dollars in cash. In the
Fifth avenue transaction each ten
ant was called upon for $4,000
in cash.
Starting about eight months ago
the transactions in cooperative
buying Of apartments have mount
ed in volume until they are pres
emily a fixture of realty dealings
and all of the larger real estate
agencies maintain special depart
ments in which the employees do
nothing else but handle the sales
of apartment houses to tenants.
This is generally profitable
transaction for the owner for ten
ants are willing to pay more to re-
tain their homes than spectators
or investors would pay and 1t Is
said to be profitable for the ten
ants in that they assure themselves
of homes at cost of only about
seven years average rentals.
Tenants are approached both In
dividually and through mass meet
ings when agents have apartment
houses to offer. The tenants are
given a certain length of time to
decide and If they wish to take the
property the agents form a COM
pany to own the building to which
only tenants may subscribe to
stock. The purchaser of the stock
gets 99-year lease.
The shortage Of office and COM
mercial space has been only second
to that for housing purposes in
New York and cooperative pur-
chasing Of office and loft buildings
by tenants has begun. although it
has not yet reached the proportions
