opinion at its recent meeting held in

ployment Of conyicts on road build

and while the conviets may do good

in stating the policy Of the departme:::

Mr.. Palmer disclosed that the gov
ernment has. been engaged in tracing
down motives, methods and manner
isms of the element which has been
charged with the direct cause of 70
per cent. of the unrest in this country.
Representatives Of the department OF
justice working with secret agents OF
the allied powers have gone into the
Russian Bolsheyik territory to obtain
definite information Of the plans OF
those responsible for introducing to
the world the dictatorship Of the pro-
letariat
=, eve have found Mr.. Palmer said,
''tnat the red movement does not
mean an attitude of protest against
alleged defects in our present political
and economic organization OF society.
1T does not represent the radicalisn
gof progress. It represents specific
doctrine, namely, the introduction Of
relationships by force and violence.
It is not q movement Of liberty low
ing persons, but distinctly a criminal
and dishonest scheme.
"Lenine, himself, it IS proved, made
the statement. that among every hu-
dred Bolsheyists there is one real Boil
shevist, 80 criminals, and 60 fools.
And in Russsa's experiment, we find
that dictatorship of the proletariat'
after two years of watseful consump-
ton of accumulated stocks, still are
promising the peasants peace, bread
and land. The dictatorship Of the pro-
letariat has degenerated into a mill
tary dictatorship of the subsidized and
corrupt portion of the proletariat.
Acquaintances with the doctrine Of
the red Mr.. Palmer said, was the
most forcible method Of ending their
activities in this country. He urged
the American people in the interest Of
law and order. peace and happiness
and the maintenance Of national soli-
darity 70 study the full meaning OF
the red idea and TO counteract it
through the teaching of American
ism in the press, church, the school

TRADE WITH GER
MANY TO BEGIN

Washington, Dec. 31.-Exchange <of
ratification Of the Versailles treaty
Will have practically no immediate
effect upon american trade with Ger
many and will not alter present COM
mercial regulations, it was said today
in official circles. -
:. All restrictions on trade with Ger
many, except as regards imports OF
dyes and coal tar products and eX-
ports Of wheat, were removed by the
war trade board July II, and so far
as the United States government IS
concerned anything from matches 70
six inch guns may be shipped to that
country provided q purchaser can be
found.
The present rate Of exchange is the
obstacle in the way Of trade, officials
said, and a rise in the value Of marks
through the stabiliZation Of condi-
tons in Germany and the production
Of goods for export is the only meth
cd by which commerce can be re-
stored to normal.
In an effort to improve the dlsas-
trous exchange rate, Germany has
imposed rigid import regulations, it
was pointed out but as executive de-
creeS change the lists from time TO

said as only one shipment has been
made.

warded any instructions to Ellis Lo-

HIGH PRICES
CAUSE WORRY

Washington, Dec. 31.-General anx-

vance in prices and a reaojustment
appears Imminent. the federal reserve
board reported tonight in its review
Of December business conditions
Through the boards statement the in
ference was strongly given that re-
duction in prices is due because of a
recognized curtailment of buying pow
er coupled with q lack of unaniminlty
Of opinion as to what the future holds.
While retail trade shows great ac-
.ivity and wholesalers and manufac-
surers were represented as being un-
able to supply the demand. the great
growth in business was shown to have
been terms of dollars and not in units
IF production. High wages Tor labor
further complicated the situation ac-
cording to the boards review Practl-
,ally every federal reserve district re-
ported that skilled labor<was working

sulting in a consequent falling off in
production.

From many sections" the beard
asserted. st is reported that the chief
diffenlty does not lie in systematic
strikes but in the indisposition OF
workers to increase production and to
keep steadily at work. The reduced
output as result Of very short hours
or the suspension Of work given
number Of days week has proved to
be national problem. The dispo-
sition Of labor to pursue such policy
is ascribed by many to high wages
and the desire to employ the increas-

.BAPTISTS PLAN
 TO ESTABLISH MISSION STATION

Permission to locate a mission station at Kangpokpi in Assam has been granted the American Baptist Foreign Mission society, according to a cable received in New York yes- terday from Rev. William Pettigrew. a veteran missionary who has been a. worker in India since 1896. As a result of the decision of the govern ment of Manipur, the native state, Northern Baptists, will spend $S0,O0O during the next five years in the erection and maintenance of a school and hospital
 Dr. G. c. Crozier a medical mis- sionary with assistants will be sent to Kangpokpi to get the work started. A central hospital will be erected where natives will receive training for work in the villages. Medical research for lepers will be carried on and i! is hoped in time to erect hospital and organize a group of trained nurses to care for the afflicted. A campaign against tuberculosis will be one of the first steps taken blythe missionaries in their fight for better health conditions.
 Funds for the erection of church { buildings, homes for missionaries and native workers, schools, dormiror1es, hospitals, and salaries will be paid | fund, over s6O,oOO,O00 of which has been pledged.
 The Assam mission expects to es tablish at Kangpokpi a middle Eng fish school which will receive pupils from training schools and village schools established in other sections of the state. It is hoped in five years to have a large number ot schools among the 375 villages of the Tangkul Nagas and Kuki tribes.
 Missionaries report there is strong demand among the 75,00C people of the two tribes for teachers due largely to the reports of theil experiences brought back by the la Dor corps from France. Efforts vii be made to train the girls and boy. to become selfsupporting. After the plant is once established there will be fruits, vegetables, rice and other pro ducts, together with live stock whicl will add to the support of the insti tuition. Agricultural training will b. stressed.

Work progresses rapidly at Brook field Heights. Streets are being levelled and graded. sidewalks laid out Visit the property any day now and you can see for yourself how attractively it is being devel- oped-how fine it will be to buy and build there. In the meantime lots are selling steadily. Almost one-half are already sold; It is unprecedented that development of this kind has become so popular that lots have been sold before necessary work was completed, and it is splendid tribute to the popularity of Brookfield Heights. number of attractive homes will be erected as soon as improvements are completed.
