Responsible Men Recognize
Dangerous Character of
New Problems.

LONDON, December Irresponsible
men in British public life recognize
the dangerous character of the prob
lens arising from the struggle of
modern nations for raw materials. On
this subject this correspondent has
had a conversation with representa-
tive of the British government. .
but vigiIant and not wholly without
anxiety. Our difficulty. like that of
other governments. is to induce our
powerful economic. minds to take
broad views. They naturally take
narrow views. They look at every
from the standpoint Of their various
particular interests. They are usually
extreme in their ideas and aggressive
in their methods. 1t is SO wherever
strong and clever business men are
found.
Task to Harmonize.
Modern governments, as regards
their foreign policy. have no heavier
task than that of harmonizing the
try, commerce and finance with those
of similar leaders in other countries

shipping expert will say: Our whole
shipping industry depends on this

turer will say: UNLESS we get such.
and such, our industry is going to the
dogs. If it be a matter of oil. the Pc
troleum man will tell you: Unless
the government pursues certain pol

Most of these extremists are sim
cere enough. Their sincerity. indeed.
is no less than their business ardor.
Their trouble is that they fail to per-
ceive the oneness of the economic
interests of the modern world. They
are blind to the fact that exploitation
is played out, and that the nations of
today must prosper by one another's
prosperity. 1t is amazing, but true.
that some of the biggest business
men in all countries cling to the fall
lacy that they can succeed by Grip
tries.

BY ETHEL MATHER BAGG.

A n authentic account, shedding
~ interesting light on the pur-
; ~ poses of the third interna-
tional, is given US in an arti-
Gle recently published in a leading
newspaper Of the Baltic provinces,
the Revaler Bote. The information
was received by the Esthonian Tele-
graph Agency from a person who is
well informed about the policies of
high oolshevik circles. The third in
ternational is identical in its aims
and ideas with the Russian soviet
government, and even its .directing
heads are the same.
The formation of the third interna-
tional was considered necessary in
order to have a universal name for
the worldwide proletarian movement.
Also it was desired to create an Or
ganization which would be in posi-
tate organization in case the soviet
government should be forced to dis
continue revolutionary propaganda as
a result of concluding peace with the
outside world.
The third international is primarily
a Russian organization, as is proved
by the fact that all the other nations
are only slightly represented, and it
Is even impossible to say to which
country certain foreign delegates be-
long-from their names it would ap-
pear they were really of Russian
origin. They were merely attributed
to some national group for propa-
ganda purposes.
New Theory Developed.
Boukharin has developed a new
theory, which the bolshevik adopted
as the basis for their propaganda
when they discovered that it was i'm
possible to carry out their program
of world revolution Immediately. This
theory says that the higher the eco
nomic development of a country the
more slowly will social revolution be
brought about; but If social revolu-
ton has already commenced in the
much faster than in a country with
small economic development.
The bolsheviki have therefore turned
their attention to the east. where
revolution, according to them, Is al
ready at the door. Dshugashvili-
Stain. a member Of the revolutionary
council Of the south front, and Safa-
ref. member Of the editorial staff Of
the Ishvestija. are the leaders of
the revolutionary movement in the
east, The methods in the east are
not "internationalism," but pan
Islamism.

OF WAR
Debt CAUSES WORRY
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA. - House
ways and means committeeman, now
considering plans for tax revision leg
islation, have encountered a stun
bling block In their efforts to devise a
method for disposing of that part of
the nations war debt, $7,500,000,0
maturing in the next two and half
years.
Believing that the four billion dol
lars annual tax levy proposed by the
treasury would be insufficient to care
for the ordinary operating expenses of
government and to cancel the treas
ury certificates and Victory notes soon
to mature, Chairman Fordney propos-
ed refunding into long term bonds the
certificates aggregating nearly two
and a half billion dollars and the first
issues Of war saving stamps and Vic
tory notes.
The proposal of the committee chair
man, however, met with the disap-
proval Of DR.. Thomas S. Adams, treas
ury tax expert and economist, who
as one of the witnesses at the opening
hearing yesterday, told the committee
that the program of the treasury ap-
peared sufficient to provide revenues
to take care of the maturing obliga-
tion, but who warned that the treas
ury estimates for taxation could stand
no reduction if the program were to
be carried through.
