No longer is the bar Of silence
maintained between the Soviet dele
cation and the newspapers. Soviet
communicates are issued with as much
freedom and more frequently than
statements come from the old es-
tablished embassies of France, Italy
and other powers.
Apparently, the majority of Lon-
don has accepted the Soviet buyers
as an immediate necessity.
The Liberal English press and the
Labor Party organs continually in.
sist world reconstruction, and British
Prosperity is impossible unless Russia
is opened up and again resumes her
place in the list of great buying and
selling nations 81 49,. ..ft~,. >~'..
Backed by the prestige of the Brit
ish foreign office and by a decision of
the British courts, the Soviet dele
cation may acquire, in any way it
pleases. property, inside Russia and
ship same to England.
Bluntly, the British have legalized
confscations in Russia; but certainly
they do not encourage any such
maneuver on the part of the Mos
cow government. H.
Bulk of business opinion, and the
verdict of the British Z diplomats
would seem to be: Let's straighten
out the bygones in Russia somehow
or other-but meanwhile we must
not let past errors hinder the press
ing business Of rehabilitating COM
mercial relations. -,
England-in the midst of wide
spread trade depression-wants to
sell goods and revive home prosperity.
Russia, according to the Soviet rep
resentatives; is a, great market and
offers gold and other credits as guar
antees for purchases. Briefly, the two
nations are getting together CONNER
cially. Ijzs.ss< ri
France may protest; America may
stand amazed at the spectacle Of
England fraternizing with the Soviet
government-but the Soviet delega-
ton here is not worrying much. They
confidently believe they will be trad
ing with the United States before
long; and they don't care a rap about
French protests. II
France has nothing to SELL" the
Soviet representatives says "She has
only her enormous debts for money
loaned the corrupt Czarist govern
ment; much Of which was used to
maintain the grand dukes in profit

French debts later now we are pre-
occupied trying to re-establish Russia

the principal countries was:
- Great 'Britain--A bitter political
fight being waged over whether or
not Premier Lloyd George shall lead
the British delegation to the Wash

France-The press is filed with
cynical comment on the proposed
conference, doubling whether France
would receive any benefit from it.
Italy-The people are eager for
disarmament hoping that it will re-
dues tax burdens. The Pope is un-
derstood to enthusiastically support
Harding's proposal.
In Great Britain, the principal
topic was whether or not Lloyd
George should head the delegation.

FOUR MEN ARE KILLED !.
IN AIRPLANE ACCIDENT
(By United Press)

Modesto, Cal, July 14.-Four men
were killed here today in an airplane
accident. The left wing Of the plane
crumbled when about 600 feet above
ground. The plane caught fire as it
fell and within a few minutes was a
mass of flames. The machine struck
high voltage wires in its fall. The
bodies were so badly burned that it
was almost impossible to identify
them.
Budd Coffee, the pilot, was Mo-
desta boy. He had recently jumped
into the limelight by carrying pic
lures of the Dempsey-Carpentier fight
to San Francisco to the Newspaper
Enterprise association.

has gone into business. ~
For the time being, at any rate,
the worldwide political propaganda
of the Soviets has been side-tracked.
Today the Soviet communistic
leaders are searching world markets
for machinery, textiles, locomotives
and repair parts for the crippled Rus
sian factories. They want some food
canned goods mainly. -. e.
Today Soviet Russia is actually
buying goods in every highly indus
trialized country: England, Germany
Italy and-from America, not IN
America, as yet. ~
This is a rough summary of what
I learn from the Russian trade dele
cation here in London, the chief of
which is Leonid Krassin; one time
revolutionist, still a communist, but
also man "who believes in the reali-
ties" as Soviet attaches here say.
In other words, Krassin is classed
by his own people as a. practical
idealist" as contrasted with the pure
ly theoretical communist Of which
Russia has her full share these days.
One year ago Soviet Russia's repu-
tation here in London Except in la
Dor circles) was blacker probably
than in any other country in Europe.
Today a marvellous transformation
has taken place. Soviet commission
ers may be seen any day hurrying to
and fro in the business section Of
London, some of them riding in
spanking brand new automobiles,

One of our leading citizens has

a limit of speed for his automobile,
at least with it in its present condi-

the other day SO fast that the gaso-
line in the rear tank couldn't catch
up with the carburetor. Anyway,
the tank had sprung leak and the
gasoline was losing out.
