Uncle Wiggily hoped over. to the

entered the class room he saw no
signs of any trouble such as he
mad feared. The animal children
were at their desks, and the lady

BY PRINCE KROPOTkIN,
the Famous Russian Philosophical
AnsrchLst, in a Message from
Moscow TO Workingmen.
Especial to Universal seryiceD

Moscow, Sept. Ill have been
asked whether 1 have not some
message to send to the working men
Of the Western world. Surely there
is much to say about the current
events in Russia and much to learn
from them. The message might be
long. But I shall indicate only
some main points.
First Of all, the working men Of
the civilized world and their friends
in the other classes ought to induce
their governments entirely to aban-
don the idea Of an armed interven-
tion in the affairs Of Russia-wheth-
cr open or disguised. whether mill
tary or in the shape of subventions
to different nations.
Russia is now living through a
revolution Of the same depth and
the same Importance as the British
nation underwent in 1639-164S, and
France in 1TS9-1794; and every ma
tiOn should refuse to play the
shameful part that Great Britain.
Prussia. Austria and Russia played
during the French Revolution.
Intervention Aids DIctntiOn.
Altorether. not only the working
men. but all the progressive ele-
ments Of the civilized nations ought
to put a stop to the support hither-
to given to the opponents Of the
revolution. Not that there should
be nothing to oppose in the meth
DDS Of the BoIshevist government!
Far from that, But because every
armed intervention OF a foreign
power necessarily results in a rein
fOrcement Of the diCtatOrial ten
denotes of the rulers. and para
ives the efforts Of those Russians
who are ready to aid Russia, indie
pendentIy of the government. in the
reconstruction Of its life on new
lines
The evils naturally inherent in
party dictatorship have thus been
increased by the war conditions un-
der which this party maintained it
self. The state Of war has been an
excuse for strengthening the dicta-
toriaI methods of the party. as well
as its tendency to Centralize every
detail Of life in the hands of the
Eovernment-with the result that
immense branches Of the usual aC-
fivities Of the nation have been
brought to a standstiU The nat
UraI evils of State Communism are
thus increased tenfOld under the ex-
Cuse that all misfortunes of our life
are due to the Intervention of for

this will some day be utilized by
their enemies in possible future
conflicts. Such a bitterness is al
ready developing.
In short, it is high time that the
West-European nations should en-
ter into direct relations with the
Russian nation. And IN this direc-
tion you-the working classes and
the advanced portions of all nations
ought to have your say.
A renewal of relations between
the European and American nations
and Russia certainly must not mean
the admission of a supremacy OF
the Russian nation over those ma
tionalities, of which the empire Of
the Russian Tsars was composed.
Imperial Russia is dead and will not
return TO life. The future of the
various provinces, of which the en-
pire was composed. lies in the di-
rection of a great federation.
The natural territories of the diff
ferent parts of that federation are
quite distinct for those of us who
are acquainted with the history Of
Russia. it's ethnOlogy and it's eco
nOmic life: and all attempts to bring
the constituent parts of the Russian
Empire, Finland, the Baltic Prov
inces, Lithuania, the Ukraine, Geor-
gia. Armenia, Siberia. and so on, un-
der one central rule, are surely
doomed to failure. The future OF
what was the Russian Empire is in
the direction of a federation of in
dependent units. 1t would. therefore,
be in the interest of all that the
Western nations should declare be-
forehand that they are recognizing
the right of government for
every portion of what was once the
Russian Empire.

day Of shipping prosperity has

Who Must Return to Schoohoon1s And Teachers
Helen Keefe, 9 Years Old,
Awarded First Prize for
Drawings Submitted This
Week.

Uncle WiggiIy and Nurse Jane
Fuzzy Wuzzy know how hard it is,
after a summer spent out in the
open air. by the seashOre or in the
mountains. for their little friends to
start in going to school again.
And Uncle WiggiIy knows that
the crisp air Of these October morn
ings mean that the delightful sum-
mer time has gone for another year.
But the genial old rabbit gentle
man feels sure that what his little
frieIds learn in school will help
them all the more to color his pic
ture and color it right. He extends
them his sympathies and at the
same time his hearty welcome 10 the
old school room again.
Nurse Jane doesn't see it the same
way as Uncle Wiggily. She thinks
that all good little boys and girls
ought to be so glad that school has
started again. But then. Nurse
Jane never has been a boy and
never has known the joys Of the old
swimming hole and the beauty OF
goiRg barefoot.
But Uncle Wiggily is glad to see
his little friends back in the city
again in spite Of their hard luck.

World Economic Questions
And German Payments
To Be Discussed.
TAKE UP PREPARATION
(By United Press.D

London, Sept. 11.-Regardless of
supreme councils, allied premiers
and other arbitrary agencies, the
league of nations international
financial conference will be held at
Brussels on September "a.
That is the final word by league
officials today.
Tired of continuous delays, in
references and the diverging views
of Millerand and Lloyd George, the
league council at the last meeting
at San Sebastian made it clear that
the conference would be called of
unless assurances were given that
no further postponements were an
ticipated. These assurances were
forthcoming.
Much Work in View.
1t was also decided that ire
speCtive Of the German reparations
question, there was much work to
be done. Accordingly, any question
which is under consideration be-
tween the entente and Germany
will not be taken up. The repara-
tiOns commission, however, will be
invited to send a delegate for the
purpose Of keeping the commission
informed Of the conference pro-
Cecdings.
According to league officials the
provisional agenda for the con-
ference is as follows:
Examination Of the financial and
economic situation of each State
represented, for which purpose the
delegates of the several States will
be requested to submit written
statements setting out the financial
situation in their respective Coun-
tries especially with reference to
the budget the internal and exter-
nal debt. currency and exchange.
These statements are to be accom-
panied with verbal declarations,
each speaker being allowed a quar-
ter of an hour in which to empha-
size the main points in the eco
nomic life of his country.
Vital Financial Problems.
The conference will subsequently
consider vital problems of financial
policy. and will discuss questions of
