LITTLE HOPE OF SUGAR
SHORTAGE ALIENATION

lbr AoNAth" JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED WtHEl
Buenos Aires, Jan. 2-There ap-
pears to be little chance that the
United States or any other country
suffering from sugar shortage will re-
ceive any help for some time to come
from Argentina.
The sugar growers Of Tucuman, the
principal sugar producing province
appealed recently to President Irigoy-
en-. saying they had surplus of so.
tons and asking him to revoke the de-
cree forbidding expectation. Labor or
CARNATIONS raised a protest, declar-
ing that expectation would, re-
suit in an advance in the price to do
mestic consumers and saying that the
surplus which the Tucuman growers
had on their hands should be kept for
the benefit of Argentina. Soon after
President Irgoyen announced that he
would not revoke the decree.
Now comes a report from the direc-
tor of rural economy and statistics es-
tmating that this years sugar harvest
will amount to 100000 tons, and say
ing that while there will be a surplus
of 52.154 tons, ii should be retained
in this country as reserve stock.

AMERICAN OPERA Is
SUNG IN WINDY CITY

ICY MORNING JouRpkL GrEt'sL sfsep wiRgl
Chicago, Jan. 2.--American opera,
based on folk lore and sung in Eng
lsh. was presented for the first time
here tonight when the Chicago opera
company produced Reginald De Ko-
ven's rip Van Winkle." The libretto
is by Percy Mackaye.
The presentation marked the frui-
ton of plans of Cliofonte Campanini,
for opera that would be understood
by the American public, but the macs
tro did not live to see his dream come
true.
In his music Mr.. De Koven has in
troduced grand opera fashioned on
light opera line, with several tuneful
melodies.
Mr.. Mackaye has treated the fanil-
lar legend of the Catskills with poetic
license. and has eliminated the famous
dog, love for which was the feature
of Joseph Jefferson's drama. Love in
terest is furnished through the intro
duction of a new character, Peterkee,
whom Rip eventually marries. A mag
ic flask belonging to Hendrix Hudson,
the contents of which restore Rip and
Peterkee to youth, is another new
phase.
The title role was sung tonight by
Georges Baklarioff with Miss Evelyn
Herbert as Petekee. Hector Durrane,
as Hendrick Dufranne and Hendrix
Hudson was another notable figure in
the cast.

AUSTRIA FACING
FUTURE Of CRAVE
EsPONS|BIL|T|Es
Vienna Has No Fats and Re-
duced Bread Ration and Isl
Without Fuel; Foreign Credit
Is Shut Off.

Vienna, Jan. 2.--The Austrian re-
public faces its second year with fore
bodmg. Both the political and eco
nomic situations are believed here to
have grown daily worse since early
autumn.
The holiday season found Vienna
with reduced bread ration, virtually
no fats and without fuel The eX-
pected supply of coal from Czecho-
Slovakia has not been received and
public utilities were kept partly in
operation only by great efforts and
economies.
High hopes had been entertained
from the visit of Chancellor Renner
to the supreme council at Paris The
people expected that Austria would
obtain sufficient credit. food, fuel and
raw material for the resumption of
their industrial life. Now that the
result of his journey has become
known the newspapers sound a note
of despair. One of them remarks
that the decision of the supreme cosIn-
Gil that Vorarlberg may not separate
from Austria means that that prov
ince is condemned to suffer along
with the rest of Austria until the ordi-
nary native will have hardly suffi-
cient for food and clothing becomes
a luxury for even the comparatively
well-to-do.
Other provinces are seeking to free
themselves from the burdens of Aus
tria and turn elsewhere for help.
There have been rumors of an inn
pending revolt and declaration of in
dependence in Tyrol 1t is charged In
some quarters that the whole separa-
ton movement in the Austrian prov
inces has been inspired by German
propaganda with a view to establish
ing a corridor between Germany and
Austria.
While Austria seems unable to OBJ
tain foreign credit for rehabilitation,
there has been much comment here
upon the fact that foreign private
capital has been diligently exploiting
the country. 1t Is asserted that the
country has virtually been stripped OF
articles de luxe while its remaining
factories are unable TO obtain raw
According to common re.
port foreign interests, principally
Italian, have acquired enormous hold
ings of stock in Austrian industrials
and mines.
The government is evenly balanced
between socialists and conservatives
and thus far has been unable to give
birth to constructive legislation look
ing to the solution of many internal
problems facing the country.

TREATY TALK NOW
ACTIVE; QUEST|O
WHO WILL MOVE?
Both Lodge and Hitchcock In
Sist First Proposition For
Compromise Should Come
From Other Party.


Washington, Jan. 2.--Efforts to
break the peace treaty deadlock in
the senate were renewed today as
senators on both parties began re-
turning from their holiday trips pre-
paratory to the -convening Monday
of congress.
The only surface developments to
indicate the trend of the negotiations
were number of conferences in
which both Senator Lodge, of Massa-
chusetts. the republican leader, and
Senator Hitchcock, OF Nebraska, act
ing leader of the democrats, were
prominent figures, though they did
not see one another All of the CON
ferees declined to so into details, but
they gave an impression of hopeful
ness that the days work had ad-
vanced the situation towards an
agreement.
Who should make the first open
move for a compromise however
continued to be a warmly debated
question, each side apparently man
euvering while the negotiations went
on under the surface to force the
other side TO he the first to break
from its former position. Senator
Lodge still maintained that any COM
promise move should come from the
democrats and Senator Hitchcock in
sisted that the initiative should be
taken by the republicans
Meantime both sides were actively
Mt work on proposals they hoped to
use, once, the wheels of compromise
formally were set in motion and were
feeling out sentiment in opposite sides
of the party fence in preparation for
the break which would bring the
whole situation TO a head
Article ten continued the crux OF
all the discussions, neither side hav-
ing found much favor for its round
about proposals on the subject. Next
in prominence was the question OF
voting power in the league of nations,
with the democrats apparently de-
termined to make some modification
in the reservation adopted at the last
session by the republican majority
There were few other points of diff
ference. but the general impression
seemed to be that an agreement on
article ten would almost end the
whole controversy.

pletely planned and the machinery

confidential communications We're
sent to department Of justice repre-
sentatives and United States attor-
neys in thirty-three cities,
Department of justice agents de-
sired most of all to capture incrimI-
mating documents, not so much of the
literature and propaganda, but papers
showing details of the communist or
gani2ation in each city. 1t was indi-
Gated that If such evidence were OBJ
tanned, deportation of the persons
concerned would be an easy matter.
AS in the case of the members of the
Union of Russian Workers, several
score Of whom were aboard the trans
port Buford, which sailed from New
York ten days ago, membership cards
in the organization were regarded by
officials as constituting the best doc
umentary evidence on which to base
deportation cases.
Difference of Leadership.
Officials said the only difference
between the communist party and the
communist labor party was one of the
leadership. Both have been endeav-
oring to bring about the establishment
of a soviet form of government in
this country since their organization
last September, according TO officials.
Documents gathered by federal
agents recently show conclusively. it
was said, that plans were drawn up
by the leaders of each of these par
ties to develop a score or more of
soyiets through the country. These
were to be merged under a soviet
council similar to that which now
exists in Russia, according to Mr..
Garvin.
The department revealed tonight
activities of these two organizations
among the negroes. Their attempts
10 organize the negroes in support of
plans to overthrow the present politi-
raj and economic system were carried
far and officials admitted that this
nronaganda had gone to such
length that trouble may yet be ex-
nected among certain negro COM
munites.
Mr., Garvin made public informa-
tion gathered by the federal agents
showing the nature of the work done
among the negroes. One document
contained the following.
"In close connection with the uh-
skilled workers is the problem OF the
negro. The negro presents a political
and economical problem. The racial
IMPRESSION of the negro is simply the
EXPRESSION of his economic bondage
and oppression, each intensifying the
other. This complicates the negro
problem, but does not alter its prole-
tartan character. The communist
marty will carry on agitation among
the negro workers to unite them with
all class conscious workers
