Riga, February 12.--The Soviet Rus
sian newspaper. reviewing the year
1920, says the communists were unable
TO realize most Of their practical aims
because of the lack of both people
and means" 1t proposes revision OF
the party constitution as a practlcai
measure for the building up OF the
state.
Reviewing the Soviet Russian foreign
policy the Pravda recognizes that Es-
thonia and Latavia must be considered
the Russian windows to Western Eu-
rope. Any future war with the border
states must be avoided. II says. as the
last war with them was very difficult
and entailed many sacrifices on the
part Of Soviet Russia.
Other newspapers reprint rumors
from the Western European press re-
garding concentration OF troops on
the Russian frontier and explain these
rumors as the wish OF the Western
European powers to initiate more
trouble.

Dutch East Indies are revealed by a re-
port OF the government of that archi-
pelaSo on the murder of the Dutch con-
troller, De Kat Angelina, by the natives

According to the report, the murder
followed a fanaticai address by Abdoei
Noes, who advised the natives not to
obey the Dutch government, but to join
the Sarekat Islam movement. The Dutch
press is now clamoring for the punish
ment of Abdoel Noes and for strong
measures to protect government off
Gals. particularly at isolated posts.
The report says the official Sarekat
Islam movement is more or less harm

gerous.
The natives OF the Ceiebes Islands cali
themselves Mohammedans. but many
worship pagan god. They are of the

Reserve Bank Will HeIp.-Therc is
no warrant for the assumption that the
circular letter OF last July %, issued by
the Richmond Federal Reserve bank
is an indication that no loans will be
made by that bank or are being made
on cotton already produced, Deputy
Governor Charles A. PEBBLE said in a
letter received last Friday by Repre-
sentative Byrnes, Democrat, South
Carolina.
Governor Peblc said that a consider
able portion of the $4G,OO0,OOO already
re- discounted for the member banks of
North Carolina and South Carolina
consisted of advances made on cotton
already gathered and in storage.
Our policy in this respect" the let
ter said. "is Ur ought to be well known
throughout the whole district. 1t has
been and is one of the greatest possi-
BILE liberalitv. We are forbidden by
law to rediscount paper the proceeds
of which have been or are to be used
for investment of a purely speculative
character, and we, therefore, could not
take or offer paper secured by cotton
Being deliberately held for no other
purpose than to force up the price or
corner the market
"On the other hand. we have the
right, which we have exercised fully
and freely, to make advances for the
purpose of enabling the producers Of
cotton to market it in an orderly man
ner and not be forced to dump it on
the market particularly when there
are no buyers
Mr PEBBLE said that a considerable
portion of the s21.OOOOOO loaned to
South Carolina banks and the $25.O0O,-
900 to North Carolina banks represent
money loaned to farmers for planting,
fertilizing and cultivating the growing
crop.

LOOK AT CHINA

China at the present time suffers
famine. Her forest lands have been
despOiled for centuries. No plan for
their protection was practiced, with
the result that her typically forest
producing lands were laid bare. eX-
cessive erosion occurred, climatic con-
ditions modified. and at least a part
of the present conditions can be laid
to the lack of plan for the keeping Of
forest growth on lands primarily
adapted for such purposes. Contrast
this condition with that of France, and
of Germany. where all lands are pro
ducing crops of food OF timber to their
maximum.
Fires started for the clearing OF
lands for agricultural purposes. for
the burning of railroad rights of way,
for highway construction, and for
many other purposes, are commend
able in themselves; but these fires
should be controlled and not allowed
TO run over adjoining lands. The wild
or uncontrolled fire is the one that
does the damage and is the type OF fire
from which the forests of Wisconsin,
young and old and of all species. need
protection state Conservation Com
