RUSSIAN TRADE OPENED
FIRST BY UNITED STATES

The United States actually anticf.
pated the allies in opening trade with
Russia, but with this difference, that
the move was taken by simply lifting
all embargQes, except those on ma
terlal used in war, and without
pledges or negotiations on either side
Slmultane ously, Moscow and London
both report the success of Krassine's
mission and this virtually insures con-
tractual relations between Russia and
Great Britain.
The impending close Of the Russo
Polish war will ease off the situation.
If peace fails, the fact that both Bri-
tain and the United States have rec
ognized Poland, and have not recog-
nized Russia, will mean that trade will
be hampered. The signs, however
point toward peace and the swift re-
sumption Of commercial relations
throughout the world.
1t would appear that the allies have
won victory over Sovietisn, since
some compensation will be made for
tho private property confiscated by
the soviets, when that property be-
longed to foreigners. The question OF
the debt is still far from settlement.
Temporarily, at least, trading will
be largely an affair Of dealing with
the Russian co-operatives As point

NEW u. S. PLAN TO
GIVE ALIENS JOBS
Problem of Immigrants Is
Solved, Officials Believe.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16-Ths problem of
sssimilating, furnished by immigration
at the rate OF q million a year win be
turned into a remedy for our economic
Ills under a plan being formulated by
Frederick 4. Wallis, commissioner Of i'm
migration.
Under this plan immigrants win be dis
tributed, Voluntarily where certain class1-
hcations Of labor are most needed.
Whenever farm hands. fruit pickers,
factory workers or other kinds of labor
ers are asked for. newly arrived foreign
ers will be provided with information re-
garding wages and living conditions and
aided n reaching these places.
Information regarding labor shortage
will be provided immigration department
through the Governors of States cham
bers of commerce, farmers associations
and similar agencies.
Their cooperation is now being sought.
To handle this work Wallis is creating
new organization to be known as the
department OF distribution.
At its head viii be Peter Donohue who
has been connected with the Department
Of immigration twenty years.
"wh&t this country needs most Of all
Of course, is more farm help, he said
'II view of this we will try to induce
as many Of our immigrants as we can TO
turn to this branch OF industry" Wallis
said.
Naturally we must avoid al semblancs
Of 'colonizing.'
'eThere will be no coercion whatever,
every immigrant will be free to 60
wherever he pleases.

VOTING MACHINES
TIED UP BY G. O. P.
Republican Officeholders Deny
Democratic BallOters.

The county commissioners and County
Auditor Leo K. Fesler have ignored the
request Of Democratic organization that
voting machines be set up In prominent
Democratic centers so voters may prae-
tice on the machines previously to cleo
ton.
Auditor Fesler and the commissioners
were very prompt in getting the machines
at the various Republican precinct head
quarters and frehouses in big Republican
districts, but the Democratic stronghoids
have not been so favored, Woodburn Mas
son, Democratic member of the Marion
County board Of election commissioners,
says.
''The Democratic organization fled a
petition with the county commissioners
asking that voting machines be placed
at certain places at which the voters
could familiarize themselves prior TO
election" said Mr.. Mason.
Investigation shows few machines
have been placed where we desired and
the county employe who is delivering
the machines has not been directed to
place machines in all the places where
we asked them to be placed.
REPUBLICANS HAVE
MACHINES SET UP.
The Republicans have the machines
already SET up IN I0elr Dig pFeclnc4ss buL
the Democrats have been ignored in their
requests to have machines placed az
Roosevelt and Twenty First street; ward
headquarters at 1914 College avenue; at
2147 North Illinois; at ward headquar-
tiers at New York and Agnes streets:
county headquarters at the Denison
Hotel; at 1115 Cenral avenue; at the en-
CINE house on Prospect street in the
Tenth ward at School No. SO; at the en-
CINE house at New Jersey and South
street; at sol South Capitol avenue; at
School No. 81: at ward headquarters at
1865 Madison avenue; at ward head
quarters at 1869 River avenue: at head
quarters in Wayne township and at the
engine house in Iryingtons" said Mr..
Mason.
In a number OF wards, where the
Democrats are anxious to have machines
placed, not a single machine has been
placed where the Democratic organiza-
ton requested. Mr.. Mason states.
Mr. Mason threatens to demand an
investigation to determine who is re-
sponsible for this trick OF petty un-
fairness.

To reach Him the same obstacles may

Christ?
Work your way through prejudice and

Constructive Liberalism.

Constructive liberalism" is a beautiful

it means much or little. according to the
application. If it is only talk il means
nothing. II it is real activity as we'll as
contemplation il may mean Il whole lot
1t has been observed that our country
is being torn between two diametrically
opposite forces-extreme reaction and
world radicalism. We must take the
central course. that Of constructive lib

yet what does it mean 1t depends upon
The point of view.
If the United States stands firm gansi
all international programmes, both poiiti-
cal and social: If it stands uncompromis-
ingly on the fundamentals of American
independence and the foundation of an
American republic; if it refuses to be
poisoned by Old World philosophy and
quarrels, constructive liberalism" may
be interpreted in terms of America only
Reaction" is word employed by
many to serve sinister purpose. Strictly
speaking reaction has never prevailed in
America. History proves that America
never has gone back. economically, physi-
cally, industrially or politically Aperica
has progressed always. To adhere to the
federal constitution is not reaction
Rather it is ideal progress. 10 profit by
past experience and build upon past ex
periments and mistakes is not reaction
IL is common sense. Use Of the word
extreme" as applied TO reaction adds tc
the shallowness Of the premise. 4 socia

it does not react it must progress. There

Liberalism cannot be constructive If il
yields in the slightest degree to the forces
of disorder or permits the Interpretation

personal rights" and liberty in Tn,
light Of destructive or revolutionary
propaganda circulated by agitators. The
predominant thought md action of ar
overwhelming majority of the American
people is liberal Nevertheless liberalism
cannot mean progress and license 1T Che

and generous attitude toward others. a
vision national, not parochal. The doc

mentality of the Supreme Court, the duly
accredited custodian of the constitution,
whether or not the Eighteenth Amend
ment had been adopted legally is simply
talking nonsense. Every State, like every
citizen, has full and perfect right to
avail itself or himself Of this judicial ma
chinery, which is independent of every
other body or authority in the country.
In fact, it would be as ridiculous to
assert the opposite as it would be to say
that the Supreme Court ought not to de-
clare unconstitutional a law for which
there had been enthusiasm in the White
House, in Congress and outside it.
Americans are essentially law abiding,
but all or any of them have a right to
know what the law is. This is fundamen.

government.
