whom nobody could suspect of sym
pathy with Bolshevism
Asked regarding his own attitude and
that of his political friends toward the
bolshevik government in Russia, Mr..
kerensky said there had been no change
IN it and that they would continue to
combat Bolshevism in the name of
democracy and of the working classes,
and that he believed they would be
successful if the Allied governments
would not interfere. He thought those
governments had been playing into the
hands of the Bolsheviki for two years.
Kerensky described the blockade Of
Russia as crime, and declared if it
were continued longer it would drive
the people to desperation, with appal-
ling consequences. He expressed the
opinion that the only possible policy
was to raise the blockade immediately.
and the only chance of enabling the
people of Russia to rid themselves of
Bolshevism and establish a free and
democratic regime was to throw Rus
sla open to reestablish free relations
with the rest of the world, as the ef-
feet OF enclosing her was that the Rus
sian people were cut off from all in
formation except that supplied them

Problems To Be Worked Out
Those who take this point of view
feel that Europe will in the long run
be able to work out its own problems
and that loans merely defer present

Ihey think it is necessary to defer
turope's interest payments on its

powers of western Europe will be able

natures next October, can be paid off

conditions expressed the view that

Bankers recognize that the United

Europe to buy heavily here on credit,
that 1t prefers that the Old Worlds
purchases be limited to absolute neccs-
sltles. This cutting down of the
European demand, it is contended, will
enable the supply of goods in this
country eventually to catch up with

some advocates of a large export trade

that Americas prosperity cannot go

Final Action To-day
After the informal agreement had
been reached Chairman Fordney called
a meeting for tomorrow of the full
committee to consider final action.
Leading Democratic committeeman, in
cludlng Representatives Kitchin. North
Carolina, and Garner, Texas, who were
among the first to suggest ti,c $50 ,OOO,-
Uoo as maximum authorization, are
counted on by the Republican members
TO support the $50 0,00000O loan, which
also has approval of some members of
the Republican Legislative steering com
mittee.
The agreement among the Republ-
can committeeman came after an earlier
conference with the steering commit
tee, at which varied opinions on the
treasury proposal Of larger loan au-
thorlzatlon were expressed, including
opposition to any new loans. Some Of
the Republicans favored a larger sum
than $50 1000 900, but'the majority opin-
ION seemed TO support that amount.
Although no agreement was attempt
ed at either of the conferences to de-
termlne whether the Legislation shall
specify the countries to get the loans
some effort in this direction may be
made at the Ways and Means Commit
tee meeting tomorrow. Proponents of
the S5O,0O0,000 fund suggested that
amount primarily to relieve starvation
IN Austria, to supplement private char
lty to the Arnenians and alleviate dis
tress in Budapest
Confidential information received by
committeemen through official chan
neis was understood to be to the eff
lect That European countries, including
France and Eng gland, could not be ex-
pected to contribute~ to a relief fund
for Austria, as their inclination is to
ald Poland in its fight against the Rus
sian Bolshevik government. objection
to extended aid by the United States
to Poland was made by some commit
teemen on the ground that the Polish
army is now moro than 100 miles be
yond the nations eastern frontier.
Majority Would Specify Purposes
The $50,000,000 fund is expected
however, to afford some relief for Po
land. 1t was pointed out by those who
advocate limiting the relief to certain
countries that the requirements fol-
Austria amount to $30,000,000 fol
Budapest $5000,000 and for Armenis
Sl,5O0,00O month. There was no in
dication to-day of the strength of tn,
committeeman desiring TO specify tn,
countries to get the relief. but it wa!
thought by members that the ma jority
sentiment favored legislation specify
ing that the relief should be for pop
ulatlons in the countries of Europe o
countries contiguous thereto"
Besides finally deciding on tn,
amount of the loans, the committee to
morrow must determine the method Q
administration. The general opinion j
that is should be through the Unite,
States Grain Corporation, which woul,
be authorized to use its funds for buy
ing food in this country. Profits o
approximately $50,000,00O have beer
made by the corporation from its grain
sales to Europe, according to informa

BERLIN, Jan. 30.-Pessimism re-
garding Germany's financial position
and future prospects has been greatly
Intensified by the most recent de-
probation Of the mark in England and
the United States. Bankers here are
IN despairing mood, foresecing little
possibility Of changing conditions in
Germany's favor, The Tribune's
spondent learns.
Besides causes for depreciation
which have been operative for many
months, the fact that German ex-
pcrters recently doing a big business
have been taking payment in foreign
exchange instead of in marks, then
depositlng this exchange with foreign
bankers, has increased pressure on the
mark. Such operations fail to steady
the value of the mark and at the same
time restrict the demand abroad for
marks with which to make payments
to Germany.
The demand for foreign exchange is
also stimulated here through the fact
that many merchants made large
profits upon goods recently sold be-
cause prices have risen to unhcard Of
levels. These profiteers also are any
ing exchange, to put their pNofts in
safe keeping.
Now that the peace treaty has be-
come effective the German people, n.
home and abroad, are beginning %
realize the severity of terms for Ger
many. Extreme taxation laws recent
ly enacted also are mentioned as a
probable cause Of the increasing
financial difficulties.
The dollar jumped to phenomenal
level yesterday, touching 109, but de-
clined to 80 TODAY.

WHERE DEv Il OPM N EN- 7.
HAS NOT BEEN ATTEMPT
Ed CO j RT HOLDS THAT
OIL LEASE IS INVALID

4 suit was tried in the district
court yesterday before Judge Thomas
". Champion that involved lease
that was worth something like a
hllf million dollars. The style Of the
case was L. r. Rexrcat, guardian
OF Opal and Phoebe ReXroat, versus
the Twin state Oil Company. Moore
g West OF this city represented Mr..
EeXroat and the Twin State Oil Com
pany was represented by Judge Gregg
Of Tulsa.
The suit was for the cancellation
Of the lease. The lease covered 200
acres OF land, located in sections
~ and 10 in 4s.2w. This lease was
executed in the year 1910 and did
not specify any definite time Of
years.
1t seems that the Twin State Oil
Company agreed to drill within one
year from the execution Of the lease,
or TO pay a certain sum Of money.
During this time the oil company
had never done any drilling on the
property; had never taken possession
Of it, but had made tho rental pay
ments. The court held that the
lease run for only one year and
Moore & West won the suit for their
client.
The Twin state Oil Company will
appeal the case on account Of prox-
Unity OF the Rexroat farm TO oil
production.
Lands adjoining this farm sold at
the rate OF $4,000 an acre and only
a short distance away as much as
$4,000 has been offered for leases.
