Communism Was Tried Out
Centuries Ago by Little
Republic in Central Asia

In the heart of Asia centuries ago
Manchu merchants discovered three
large auriferous regions which the Pc
kin government Immediately claimed
by forcing thousands of laborers to
work the mines. Most of these men,
when possible, fed and hid in the
mountains and forests surrounding
them. AS the government kept refill
Ing the deserted ranks the colony In
the hills also grew and formed It.
self into federation, whose leaders
were to protect the lives and supply
the means of livelihood for the rest.
This little republic was founded
upon the shores OF the River Centunga,
and is the earliest communist expert
ment known. All the fruits Of labor
and production were for common use.
1t was absolutely prohibited that any
one withhold from the commune any
part of the gold which all were occu-
pied in mining; It was placed to the
credit Of the whole colony and depos-
tied with the association, to be used
for anyone in need. Everyone had to
work to his utmost capacity, and char
ity or begging was unknown.
Any disobedience to the laws was
punishable by death. This sentence
was pronounced by committee Of
twenty-five, elected by universal suf-
frage, as well as two judges and the
two presidents of the commune.

Insists Diplomat Failed

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-R. v.
fesqueira, representative Of the pro-
vlslonal government of Mexico in
Washington, told the American Petro-
ieum Institute to-day that his goven-
ment would never shame itself by
conflscating private property" He
spoke at his own request to correct, he
SAID, statements previously made at
the institutes meeting by Frederic R.
Kellogg, counsel for the Mexican
Petroleum Corporation.
Questioned by Mr.. Kellogg as to
whether the provisional Mexican gov
ernment intended to continue "Car-
ranza's confscatory policy" toward
American oil companies, Mr.. Pesqueira
did not commit himself
When the Mexican representative
concluded his address Mr.. Kellogg de-
clared he had failed to answer any
Of the points raised by American oil
producers with holdings in Mexico who
feel themselves aggrieved."
Mr.. Pesqueira charged that Ameri-
can oil interests in many instances had
acquired huge tracts of land by deal
ing in questionable way with Mexi-
can government officials. Methods fire.
quently used in acquiring oil conces-
sions, the speaker declared, "stand as
q shame to hOth marina
Mr.. Pesqueira declared that Article
AXVlI of the Mexican constitution of
May, 1917, which Mr.. Kellogg had said
was confiscatory in principle, was not
retroactive and "can't be considered as
sucl-.' He objected, he added, to the
policy Of those who are "defaming my
government and obstructing steps tow
ard It's betterment."
AS long as American oil companies
deal with the Mexican government" -"
the speaker continued "only through
subordinates and lawyers whose main
purpose seems TO be to prolong misun-
derstanding, there is not much pros
pect of & solution of differences"
Would Pay All Damages
His government, the speaker said, is
NHl'oocu 70 enforcement OF retroactive
laws, and is ready to pay all legitimate
claims for damages. Article 27, he de-
clared, is the tremendous aspiration
Of the Mexican people, embodying all
their hopes for happiness" Division of
land into smaller tracts for the benefit
of greater number of inhabitants,
Mr.. Pesquera said, is essential to their
peace and prosperity.
Mr. Kellogg is a representative of the
Dohcny oil interests in Mexico, and
declared in replying to Mr. Pesqueira
that we are denounced as enemies of
Mexico if we stand up in man fashion
for rights that lawfully are ours"
Other speakers were NJ. L. Requa,
vice president of the Sinclair Consol-
dated OH Corporation, who urged the
petroleum and automotive industries to
cooperate in elimination of fuel waste,
and Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, who
