Reports of this censorship and con-
fscation reached Riga to-day from an

Moscow. The reports further are borne
out by the Cronstadt Jsvestia, news
paper published by the defenders of
Cronstadt during, the recent, revolt
which refers to the otherwise unpub-
lished Lenine speech as being to the
same effect.
Since the publication Of the pamphlet,
which was about a month ago, Lenine
is declared to have been making strenu-
Gus efforts, however, to save Russia
from chaos and anarchy by granting
reforms, such as free trade, long ten
ure of land holding and permission for
the cooperative organizations to func-
ton, but all with the proviso that Ger

dent Hardin's message, refers to the
Presidents tariff policy, as outlined, as
being based on protection" The
newspaper Gays:
"The United States has passed by

large remittanccs will have to be sent
in goods by the European countries. II
theae goods are to be vigorously ex-
cluded the United States cannot obtain
payment of her dues. This is lesson
she will learn hardly enough, if Presi-
dent Harding's announced policy is to
govern her trade legislation"
La Libcrtt says:
1--WE must congratulate the United
States on its wisdom in keeping out
side of an organization which threat
ems the very foundations of national
independence. But TIE fact that the
United States is determined not to
enter the league makes it more dan
gerous for EnglandAto remain inside,
TOR we may be called upon to support
decisions of the league which the
United States refuses to recognize.
"As for an alliance with the United
States, which some foolish persons
have done us great harm by advocat-
ing, it is contrary to the present senti-
ment Of the American people, as shown
very clearly in President Harding's
message. Americans feel strong

with the United States, with which, so
long is they do not intermeddle in our
domestic questions, we have no cnusc

Grounds of Miners Refusal
The first statement respecting the
grounds of the miners refusal Of the

shows that the rejection was due to
the governments refusal to concedc a
national pool Of mining profits, which,

Harding's Message Well
Received by the French
Passage Recommending Ratif.
cation Of Treaty Without the
League Especially PLEASING

PARIS, April 13.--President Har-
ding's message to Congress created
most favorable impression in Paris.
in official ss we'll as other circles.
Particularly favorable was the recep-
tion of the passage in the message in
terpreted here as recommending the
ratification Of the Treaty of Versailles
detached from the covenant of the
League OF Nations and with reserva-
tions.
"The United States, no matter how
powerful and wealthy they may be,
cannot afford to continue a policy of
isolation" says the Temps. "Thus.
they cannot ignore treaties signed and
ratified between other nations. This
was what President Harding had in
mind when he advocated confirmation
rights granted the United States by the
Versailles treaty, upon the condition
that the United States be liberated
from undertakings which appear I'M
realizable and the safeguarding of es-
sential American interests.
If we understand Alright the policy
OF the American government we natu-
rally are led to believe that it's inten-
tons are not contrary to the rights of
anxiety, assist the United States to
reach the aims their President has de-
fined"
Gives all Freedom of Action
La Liberte says:
President Hardings message pives
US all freedom of action. Frank. clear
words reach us from Washington. Since
President Harding succeeded President
Wilson the American policy has ceased
to be up among the clouds. It de-
velops broad daylight and full LOYALTY
Since the entrance Of President
Harding into the White House the
United States has missed no opportun-
lty to be agreeable to us. The nomi-
nation of Mr.. Herrick as Ambassad dor
TO Paris is particularly eloquent cx-
ample Of this.
Chimes have changed since the Chief
Executive of the United States re-
ssponded to the patriotic speech of the
french chief of state by accusations
OF lmr erialism and militarism and
placing France on the same footing
with Germany"
No Occasion for Alarm
prudence" declared the Paris Midi
which is customary quality OF Amer,
lean presidents, reigns supreme in Mr.
Hardings message. There is no oc.
caslon for US either to light bonfires
IN celebration or be alarmed. for If
the President Is reserved, American
pubic opinion is much less so. In ali
Quarters of the United States the
people are showing sincere desire
not to hinder France"
