RUSSIAN SOVIETS
 GET CHINESE AID
Bolsheviki May Encounter Japanese Forces Sent to Eastern Siberia:
 Want ''NO Aggressive .ActiOn."

London, Jan. 14.-Russian Soviet troops which have reached Baiai station, almost 100 miles east of Taiga, will be aided by Chinese. Bol- shevilli, according to a Moscow dis patch quoting advices from Chelia- .binsk. It is said the Chinese will operate in the "coastal region.'
 1The Bolsheviki expect soon to en- counter Japanese forces sent to Eastern Siberia, and the Moscow dis patch states the Soviet forces will not undertake any aggressive action cal culated to provoke a collision If says, however, that the menace of the Japanese and of the Entente ves- selS in the west will compel the Soviet authority to devote a great part of it's forces to military purposes"
 While Polish and Lettish forces have driven ahead along the north western Russian front and have forced the Bolshevilli to retire at q humber of points, their offensive is said by Moscow to be merely local"
 Odessa has been occupied by -Ukrainian soldiers assisted by Cali elan units it is reported. These troops do. not appear to be fighting as con- rades of the BolsheViki, although they are opposing the troops formerly commanded by General Denikine in southern Russia. Advices state tha. Denilline has dismissed General Schilling as commander of the anti Solsheviki troops in Odessa and aD- pointed General Ignatief commander of the garrison with orders to or ganize the defense of the city.
 Bolshevi1 official reports state the Orerburg and Ural regions have been cleared of opponents and that the Tnrkestan front could be considered as being safely held by Soviet forces.

TREATY. DELAY IS
 HOLDING UP MONEY
Business Interests SkeptiCal Of
 Foreign Investments

New York, Jan. 1 14.-InVestment of American capital in foreign countries
 is being delayed by the failure of the
 United States to ratify the peace
 treaty. Secretary of Commerce Alex ander declared today in an address to
 the American Manufacturers Export
 association. If the peace treaty were
 ratified and the league of nations in
 operation." he said, American inXes-
 tors would have greater confidence in
 putting their money into foreign se-
 curitics.'
 Regretting that the peace treaty should be made the subject of political
 debate at d time when EurQpe's need
 for political and economic stabiliza- tion is acute, the secretary said. 'the
 United States has assumed q moral obligation in foreign affairs which cannot be ignored. The future of Am erican industry and commerce de bends more than ever before upon active participation in foreign coun- tries" he added.
 No immediate solution of the prob lem of European credits is in sight" MT. Alexander asserted. but financial aid for the reconstruction of European countries must be extended by private American investors and not by the government
 '"The government cannot add to the heavy burden of taxation to give large assistance to other countries" he said. Such assiStance as he United States gives must be on a business basis.
 Because of the limited amount of i+1l l. States must be prepared to finance a large part of the development of the resources and industries of the Latin American republics, Mr. Alexander pointed out. But investments in Latin-America should be confined to enterprises that will in the shortest time produce commodities most in demand in the world at present. he stated.
 As examples of enterprises best suitable for the investment of Amer- can capital, MT. Alexander suggested extension of railroads in the republic )f Honduras which would open up arge areas of cattle producing coun- rN. A railroad from Lake Nicara g1la o the Atlantic coast would develop 'ich districts in both Nicaragua and he said. and extension of | 'airoads in southern Brazil into the | State of Alatto Crosse would open up ln area twice as large as Texas, cap Lbe of supporting immense herds of l ,att1e.
 Predicting an easing of the foreign exchange situation because of the i marked tendency in recent months l oWards increasing the imports into I he United States, the secretary as ] erted that although viewed with ! Harm in some quarters. larger inn l ports, may especially in so far as they l end to relieve the foreign exchange l ituatiOn. have a beneficial effect upon l ,ur foreign trade as whole.'' l

SURPRISED THAT NEGROES
HAVE NO REPRESENTA-
TTVES IN CONGRESS.
British Writer Says That
America Must Set Pace IN
Democracy.

P. w. Wilson. former British
the London Daily News. writes as fol-
lows in the New York World:
America will. of course. recognize
the fact that Britain being herself
under the searchlight in India and
record Of the United States in res
pect of the Negro. The fact that Col
ored men are drifting here from the
West Indies Is a compliment to this
country. and the educational achieve
ments of Hampton and Tuskegee have
afforded some of our best schools for
English children materials for Inn
proVement along the line of associat-
development of personality. But, the
lynchings have been a matter OF sur
prise. especially among foolish people
VINO like to get In their word against
draMe an new nsvS World; ,r,o., The color line is
land for. this very reason that with
us the Colored man is too rare 10
make much difference. We may be
certain that continuance OF lynch
ings will react upon Africa. The Ne
groes here will be restless and they
Will communicate their uneasiness to
men of their race all the world over.
II. then. the United States can sup
plement her admirable educational
ences. like those which are being ar
ranged by the Episcopal and other
churches with a view to avoiding
these outbursts of summary "justiceS
button to the settlement OF native
problms all the world over. The citi-
izenship of the Negro here must be
the high Water mark---the gold stand
To detached observer like myself
1t would seem possible to have Ngro
cases handled by special courts under
Federal Jurisdiction. and trials for
certain offenses removed from the
areas naturally inflamed by them.
1t is certainly remarkable that in
Congress there should be no elected
person Of Color. 1t would seem to be
real loss to statesmanship at WASH
ington that In the body which exists
grievances the Negro does not direct
ly put his own case. A suggestion
has been made in England with re-
gard TO civil servants that as an
alternative to Acknowledgement they
should be given a certain number Of
members all to themselves not enough
to influence parties but sufficient to
supply the House with information
affecting the Civil Service. Every one
can understand the reason for dis
franchising many Negroes. But 1t does
seem as II the democratic institutions
of the United States, on which are
so largely modelled the Parliaments
of the British dominions, would pre-
sent a more complete front to the
student and the historian IL the Capt.
itol reserved a few seats in Senate
and House for a race which, after all
includes 1900 900 American citizens.
Such concession would react the
wide world over and would uplift the
dignity of the entire Negro race. 1t
would allay much discomfort be-
yond these shores and would be an
example to which reasonable Liber-
al reformers everywhere could point
with hope and approval.

FEDERATION OF NEGROES
PROTESTS AGAINST BILL.
Says it Repeats Civil Rights
Law.
Associated Negro Pressl

Trenton. N. j.. May 6.-Dr. George
F. Cannona of Newark, president OF
the Federation of Colored Organiza-
tions of New Jersey. has sent a tele-
gram to Speaker Glover of the House
protesting against the passage of the
committee substitute for Senate and
which went through the upper house
and is now in the Assembly. He asks
the Assembly not to pass the measure,
holding that 1t virtually repeals. the
civil rights law. He said the fedora
tion was misled in that the substi-
tute was not drawn as promised. and
he predicted that the Colored people
would bolt the Republican state ticket
in November.
One of the Republican Senator's who
did not wont to be quoted said the bin
was a fund. He explained that the
present bill repeals the 1917 amend
ment to the act of 1884. which was
the enforcement part of the act. The
heart of the act itself is the en-
forcement part 1t 1t. BY repeating the
1917 amendment. the Senator said.
the Legislature would leave the law
with no enforcement Of civil rights.
