POLISH MASS Meeting
IN FIGHT ON RADICALISM
Chicago Lawyer, Home FROM Eu-
rope, Tells of Russians 1nsin-
cere Peace Offer.


CHICAGO, February 23.-A mass
meeting arranged by the Polish national
committee, as the first Of a series to
be held throughout the country to COM
bat radicalism, was one of the events
of the Washington day program here
yesterday.
The principal address was made by
Frank Comerford, Chicago lawyer, who
spent six months in Russia and the
Balkans recently, studying social and
political problems.
"The news this morning Of fresh
battle between Russian soviet troops
and those of the republic Of Poland did
not come as a surprise to a few Of
us in the United States familiar with
a. bit of important information now
locked up in the archives OF the State
Department, but destined to see the
light soon before the foreign relations
committee of the Senate" said Mr.. Com
erford.
Last December confidential informa-
ton was disseminated in Russia by
Lenin and Trotsky that they were not
to be shaken il an offer of peace was
made by Russia to the rest of Europe
1t was not bona fide proposal, but one
designed to obtain respite so that
red Russia might gather strength for
a greater effort to establish communism
throughout the world continued Mr..
Comerford "A single copy Of this
confidential publication reached the
State Department and l believe this to
be the first public statement Of its
existence.
'True enough the so-called Of
fer made its appearance the following
month Russian leaders were not de-
ceived. for they had been warned. but
the general public Of the rest of the
world was"
president Of the Polish national COM
mittee, subsequent mass meetings de-
signed to interest the public in Poland's
affairs will be held in Cleveland, De-
troit. New York, Philadelphia, Boston,
Minneapolis. San Francisco and other
cities.

PROFITS TAKEN

Chicago Market Takes Big Balse
And Buying b
Active.

CHICAGO, Dec. s.-Belated short
covering was given the credit for
a big bulge in wheat prices here to-
day. There was q let-up In the de-
mand for wheat from abroad. This
led to heavy profit taking which
evidently was what some Of the
shorts have been waiting for. They
took Advantage of the selling to
cover big lines. Late in the day
this covering caused a big bulge.
which was checked only by free
selling against offers.
Prices at the finish were s to S&

tacular advance, also gaining IL
cents for December on covering and
IN cents on May.
Corn closed az to AZ cents high

to IL cents UP and barley 3 cents
higher.
Sentiment in wheat was consider
ably mixed at the close, the break
in stocks causing some anxiety on
the part of longs who were active
buyers of bids for today.
Corn was active and higher. De-
cember shorts were active on the
buying side and scored a bigger
gain than the other months. Selling
against offers proved to be check
on the advance and best prices for
the day were shaded materially at
the close.
The strength in other grains was
mainly responsible for a more ac-
tive and higher market for oats.
There was considerable pressure
during the first half OF the session
and there apparently was an i'm
mense amount of profit taking which
was offset by the buying by shorts

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-By the time
the gong had struck after a fairly
active session there had been a de-
cided diminution in the optimism
that had been struggling for ex-
preston in the last week or so. The
opening of the market gave little
him OF impending weakness and un-
der tee leadership of Mexican Pc
troleum which touched 1S4h 1t was
generally believed that the recent
firmness would continue.
1t was not long. however, before
selling. orders began to search out
points OF weakness and 1t was rather
discouraging to see how many de-
veloped. A disheartening list OF
new lows" was registered as the
trading progressed. The specialtles
were prominent among them The
array included Coca-Cola, U. S. Food
Products. American Agricultural
Chemical, Fisk Rubber, Industrial
Alcohol. American Cotton Oil and
willys Overland Preferred, Mexican
Petroleum made a maximum decline
of 13is points from the high level OF
the morning and closed at net loss
OF more than Z points. Southern Pa
cifc continued under pressure, but
the general verdict on this particu-
lar issue was the buying, which was
much better than the selling.
One bright spot was a sharp ad-
vance in Lehigh Valley in response
to the Supreme Court decision or
dering the dissolution of the coal
combine. The ruling was not uneX-
pected in view of the action taken
some time ago in the Reading case.
Last Saturdays bank statement
contains nothing of nature so up
setting as to prompt the selling
which took place today. The ratio
of the consolidated Federal reserve
system declined only $40 Of l per
cent to i4.1. and was the result of
loan expansion rather than an in
crease in note circulation or a fall
in reserves.
Money renewed and remained al
per cent. Foreign exchanges were
rather quiet with sterling going
back to Saturdays closing quota
tion after an early fractional rally
Continental exchanges were lower
with the exception OF Norway which
ran up rather sharply.
Commodity markets were all
stronger. Wheat was up more than
s cents. corn more than cents, and
oats more than 1 cent. Cotton ad-
vanced about 50 per bale and was
steady up to the closing.

WALL STREET GOSSIP.

NEW YORK, Dec. s.-The deci-
sion of the U. s. Supreme Court
today ordering the Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company to divest itself
of the Lehigh Valley Coal Company
was followed by a three-point ad-
vance in the railway company's
stock. This move was. of course,
based on the idea that with the
segregation of the coal properties.
Lehigh Valley stockholders would
obtain valuable rights. In 1915 a
similar decision was rendered in the
case of Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western, SO that the ruling of the
Supreme Court in today's case was
not unexpected. Lehigh Valley
very largely is an Investment stock
and there Is comparatively little
speculation in It.
