BRITISH EXPANSION
ENDED IN ASIA, SAYS
CURzON IN ADDRESS

LONDON, Oct. 30.-The expansion
of the British Empire in Central Asia
is at On end and rightly SO, Earl Cur
zon, Secretary OF State for Foreign
Affairs, told the Central Asian Society
in an address last night.
The function of Great Britain in the
future. he added, was not to absorb
territory there, but to give security
and to arrange that the evolution TO
a different and higher state of things
should be easy.
The great bulk OF Central Asia, he
said. had been thrown into the vortex
of European politics. The Russian EN-.
pire which Englishmen have regarded
with apprehension had been, for the
moment, ohliterated from the scene
China was in tho throes of military
crisis, the upshot of which no one
could foresee. Afghanistan had &C.
quired something like independence

All India was seething with agita

that the Persian government and par

sian agreement and that this would

of that country.
He advocated setting mp an Arab

potamia and said Sir Percy Cox had
gone out to assist in carving on that
work. He hoped for some form OF
Arabian unity which would crafty

In Afghanistan there was serious

tary said he knew of no country in
Central Asia, where the bolsheviki
had greater hopes of causing trouble
for Great Britain, yet he regarded the
interests of Afghanistan as identical
with those of Britain. 1T might take
years before the commotion in Asia
subsidized and no one should suppose

POLICY
OF AGRARIAN REFORM
SHOWS GOOD RESULTS
fRy Associated Press.l

JASSY, Rumania, Oct 80. Ru-
manias Agrarian Reform Act giving
100000 acres of state, institutional
and private lands to the peasants, has
been in operation a year and has
brought about degree of content
ment and satisfaction among the pop
ulation hereto fore unknown. For the
first time in Rumania's history, the
peasants have been given outright
ownership of land. King Ferdinand
was the first to give up a part of his
large land holdings to the people.
The appropriation of large private
estates by the government did not
please the proprietor classes, but it
has had a steadying influence upon
the temper and. spirit of the people,
who now have little sympathy for boil
shevist doctrines Nearly IS per cent
of the people of Rumania are support
ed by agriculture and under their own
crship the land during the last year
has yielded, larger and better crops
than ever before
Ffve-siyths of the population of Ru-
mania consists of the peasantry, who
combine thrift with industry. In fact.
the peasant class constitutes the real
Rumania. The whole hope of the
country is bound up in it. A large
percentage Of illiteracy prevails. but
the people possess many good quail
ties. One sees the same hand-Worked
costumes that obtained in the middle
ages, the same goodness of heart and
simplicity of manner which always
characterize highly stratified societies
where people know their stations in
life and act accordingly.
Follow Ancient Customs.
The bulk of the Rumanian nation
still lives in dirt-1oored huts made of
woven branches and plastered with
mud These novels usually are win
dowless and stoveless The people
sleep upon the floor or upon benches
with their day clothes on, often six to
ten of them in one miserable low-ceil-
ed room ten feet square. In many
cases the poultry, pigs and cattle oc'
0upy the same room.
p While Rumanian cities have made
decided progress during the last 25
years, the country, the real heart of
Rumania, has been practically station
ary The ox-drawn wooden plough, the
hand scythe and the wheat fail used in
biblical times are still to be seen.
Although producing enough wheat
to supply all Europe with bread, the
Rumanian peasant does not touch
white bread His diet consists almost
entirely of a sort of colnmeal mush
tmamaliga), boiled so stiff that when
it cools it resembles corn bread of the
Southern States. This meagre food
insufficiently supplemented with fats,
is accountable for the large amount OF
pel1agra in Rumania perhaps equa:led
nowhere else in the world.
