 NEW YORK. Oct. 26-Relative to the lease secured by Mir. Vanderlip on the Siberian territory. Edward l.. Do- heny, president of the Mexican Pe- troleum company, today said that he helped finance MT. Vanderlip two years ago in his explorations for oil in Si- beria. Some of the others interested, he said, were F. w. Braun, a druggist of Los Angeles; William Stewart, president of the Union oil company of California; Max Whittier. a California oil man: T. E. Gibbon, a lawyer and real estate man in California; and Harry Chandler. publisher of the Los Angeles Times.
 The situation is this" said Lee A. Phillips. insurance man. and a mem Der of the svndiate. MT. Vanderlip came to me and others and reported that by his long soiourn in Siberia he knew of the existence of rich fields of minerals. oils. etc. He said he be. lieved he could secure a concession if properly financed. We financed the trip. The first information we re- ceived from him came through the press have my very serious doubts that MT. Vanderlip made any false representations. He had no authority from us to do so. The project has nc political significance. It is purely a | business affair"
 Harry Chandler, publisher of the | Los Angeles Times. said Mir. Wander | lip represented purely personal busi- 1 ness interests here and elsewhere in l the West
 MT. Vanderlip and those he repre- 1 sents have no connection. either per | sonal or political. with Senator Hard | ing" he said.

 There are other hundreds of thou sands of babies who carry through their lives the handicaps of reduced vitality, of lameness, of blindness, of imbecility. because their mothers did not realize their responsibilities or did not know how properly to take care of themselves during the prenatal period.

It has assembled the facts that each mother should have to perform her primary duty to her offspring. It has presented all those facts in a most straightforward way. easy to read and easy to under stand. The book is now available to all who need it.

ing thereon for valuable conces- sions, makes it proper for me to state, by way of warning, that, as the government of the United States has never recognized the bolsheviki, American business men and investors should bear in mind that any concessions from the boi shevik authorities would have no certainty of recognition by future Russian governments.
 "lt furthermore would be most regrettabIe # any confusion should arise in the nninds of the soviet authorities ss to the attitude of this government on the question of political recognition. This attitude has been stated in unnsistakshie terms.
 "The receipt however, of an of- fical dispatch conveying the intel lieence that proposals looking to recognition have been made, even if irresponsibly, makes it import ant that an opportunity should be afforded to the numerous body of men reported from Los Angeles 10 be associated with Mir.
