EUROPE NEEDS RUSSIA.
A stern fact. not a fancy. is Eu-
ropes need Of Russia-of agricultural
Russia. Ninety-eight per cent OF
Muscovy's population is agrestic; pro-
duces food, raw materials, articles OF
prime necessity. Normally 1t raised
SOC, 900, 900 bushels of wheat; exports
in food-stuffs $500. 600. 900 yearly. The
United Kingdom alone imported from
Russia a thousand million eggs an

yielded abundantly to the West.

Europe needs Russia more than Rus

vice versa.

PLAN TO EASE TAXATION.
Joseph w. Hartman. of the Harri-
man National Bank, New York, has
excellent company in the idea OF maxi
ing a general investment Of Ameri-
cas- European credits, thereby re-
ducing the public debt and easing
taxation.
John J. Mitchell, of the Illinois
Trust and Savings Bank. shows tech
nically how the plan may be made
feasible. "As the European obliga-
tion to the United States stand they
are merely ambassadors notes, which
are paying no interest. Suppose
Great Britain and France guarantee
the loans and give the United States
treasury a 4. per cent bond Therefore.
turn these bonds into the National
Treasury and let the Government is
sue a per cent bond against the 4
per cent mortgage indorsed by Great
Britain and France. BY selling the
Nper cents to investors an enor-
mus burden would be lifted. Actually
and sentimentally the effect would
be incalculably beneficial. The pres
tige of the present Government would
be greatly enhanced, for nothing helps
a nation so much as a smaller debt
and lower taxes.

WHOLESALE GROCERS ID RESUME ACTION
 AGAINST PACKERS
IRepublican A. p. Leased wirel

CHICAGO, March 23.-Dissatisfied with the recent government decree. limiting the activities of the '.big five packers, the National Wholesale Groc- CTS association announced today that its case against the packers and rail roads should be reopened before the Interstate commerce commission
 The hearing is set for March 26 in Chicago.
 Arjay Davies. president of the grocers association, in a communica- tion, to the members of the body, de- c'ared that the decree obtained by At torney General Palmer against the packers failed "to be of much con sequence to the wholesale grocers, so far as the propositions are concerned fore the commission"
 The following were given among reasons for continuing the hearing:
 .The decree does not affect cheese, butter, oleomargarine and other butter eggs
 '.The decree runs against certain corporation defendants, but does not affect the handling of the so-called unrelated articles by the individuals named in the decree. Other corpora ticns already are being rapidly organ ized for the very purpose of handling those unrelated commodities.
 .The decree fails to apply to the ticles listed in the decree itself when handled by other corporations and shipped in the same car with fresh meats. and packing house products provided the car is owned or leased by a railroad company"

NEW YORK. March 23- - The ar fNai here today of Georges Carpen- ter, European heavyweight champion. caused the proposed match with Jack Dempsey to flame afresh, but after several hours o6 mysterious confer ences with various promoters. there French pugilist would meet Dempsey Tn the near future.
 The abandon with which Carpenter and his manager, Descamps, signed contracts recently, here and abroad, stunned American promoters, and left them in doubt as to the possibility of bringing Carpenter and Dempsey to- gether within the next 12 months.
 close analysis of the situation dis closed the fact that the Frenchman was under contract with three direr- ent promoters which bound him to per Form certain services which are close ly related and which apparently pre- vent him from actually boxing Demp- sey for some months. providing he is so inclined. The English promoter Cochran. has first option on Carpen- tiers ring services providing he can obtain Dempsey's signature for match, the option extending to De- cember 21, according to one report, and to July, 1921, according to another statement.

 In addition, Jack Curley. wrestling promoter, has Carpenter booked for 10 weeks vaudeville tour beginning May 3, with another five weeks exten- sion if he desires to exercise it. Cur ley stated that he expected to tour the country with the French pugilist, the latter giving sparring exhibitions with his own sparring partners.

MEAT CAMPAIGN |S
 WARMLY CRITICIZED
Republican A. P. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, March 23.-The campaign inaugurated by the depart ment of justice to stimulate the con- sumption of cheaper cuts of meat drew caustic criticisms from members of the house agricultural committee today during the hearing on legisla- tion to regulate the packing indus try. L. D. H. Weld, of Swift and company, told the committee the packers were cooperating in the cam naign.
 If the campaign is successful he testified. tits effect will be to in- crease prices of lower grade cuts and probably decrease the more expensive cuts.''
 Then in reality the poorer families now using cheaper cuts of meat will have to pay more because of this cam paign," Representative voight, repub- lican, Wisconsin, commented. While the people who use the more expen- sive cuts will get theirs cheaper.
 Mir Weld said such a result was possible, although some good might be done by teaching consumers the value of lower priced cuts.
 ''I do not consider, however, that the results of this campaign will be sub- stantial enough to affect the prices of meat materially

the demand of the independent social ists for straight labor cabinet. A party delegation headed by Adolf Hoff- mann presented the independents terms to the government yesterday. These were chiefly the elimination of the bourgeoisie parties from the gov ernment, withdrawal of troops from the streets and reorganization of the army.
 The democratic right socialists noti- fled the independents that unless the clerical and democratic party agreed to a labor government they would not rec ognize the independents proposition. A mixed commission is to consider the whole question. It will include two right socialists, two independents, two members of the labor federation and two members Of any independent or ganization of labor. The proposition will then be submitted to the inter party faction in the national assembly.
 There is a general impression that the scheme will not be effective. as the right socialists are pledged to the coalition bloc and will not tolerate the elimination of the democrats and cler- icals from the government.

POPULARITY OF AIRPLANE GROWS
 SAYS ENGINEER
[RepubIican A. P. Leased Wire]

NEW YORK. March 22.-The air plane is fast becoming the commercial travellers favorite method of trans portation in Europe. Handley-Page, British aeronautic engineer, told mem bers of the New York electrical so- ciety and the aero club of Amreica at a joint meeting tonight They are used to conclude quick deals, he said, while importers and exporters who desire rapid deliveries are also ship ping by the air route.
 The speaker said commerce in America has been so speeded up that new methods of transportation are now required to take full advantage of the work. He predicted rapid development of airplane transportation for both passengers and freight
 Since last September. he said. British airplanes have flown S2,40O miles, carried 4201 passengers and more than 49,000 pounds of freight without loss of a single passenger or q pound of merchandise. This is a record which can challenge any other means of transportation

and local fight followers are puzzled as to when Carpenter will find time to box Dempsey.
 Manager Descamps, when inter viewed through an in .erpreter. stated flatly that Carpenter has no intention to box Dempsey until the lattar's mil itary affairs" had been cleared up. A somewhat similar statement was cre.;- ited to Jack Kearns. managel of Derrp- sey, according to one Of the interested parties. who said he had received a letter from Kealns to the eefect that Dempsey would not consider a match of any description until his name had beer cleared of tEc draft evasion charge.
 Given Impressive Welcome
 Tex Rickard. who was closeted with Carpenter and his manager for sev- eral hours, was noncommittal after the conference and refused to give any definite idea of his plans in regard to staging a bout between the Frencn boxer and Dempsey. His only com ment was to the effect that it did not appear that such match could be ar ranged for the summer or fall.
 Notwithstanding the uncertainty of such conflict, Carpenter was greeted guest at several semi-public functions during the next few days. Chief among these will be a dinner rendered to the pugilist's party on Thursday night by the officers of the 1nterna- tional Sporting club, at which num- Der of prominent personages will form ally welcome Carpentier to America.
 Several important announcements are expected to be made at the dinner. which will be of great interest to fol- lowers of sport. The formation of a league to represent various profession- al sport organizations will probably be made public, well as a statement from former champion Jess Willard, provided the latter can reach this city in time to attend the banquet.
 Carpentier is expected to give dem onstration of his boxing skill if a suit able opponent can. be obtained to op- pose him.

 The correspondent says the Sim Fein asks the country to accept the monstrous- theory that Lord Mayor MacCurtain of Cork was killed by ac- tual agents of the government. He describes the overnight riot in Dublin as another danger signal, &ndssays it is impossible to get an impartial ac- count of the incident, the popular yer sion being that the soldiers provoked and assaulted civilians.
 The correspondent learns that the soldiers were stoned by a crowd before they left the theater singing the na- tional anthem a protest for the faiI- ure of the theater orchestra to play it.
