VESSELS AT PETROGRAD
LOADED FOR EXPORT
Four Cargoes Contain Flax
and RolO Materials.
By the Associated Press.

REyEI.. Esthonia. March 27.-Maxin
Litvinoff, chief OF Soviet delegations
abroad. gave to the Associated Press
to-day statement he had prepared on
trade possibilities. In which he said four
steamships already were loaded at Pet
rograd with fax and other raw ma
terials for expectation.
The foreign trade commissariat" the
statement continues. has $500. 600. 900
worth OF materials for expectation, in
cluding metals. minerals, fuel, lubricants
hides. furs, flax, timber. tobacco, bristles.
manganese and caviar" and adds:
Fifty sawmills are working in north
Russia exclusively for exports. The flax
and hemp are partly at Revel and partly
en- route
Replying to a question as 10 exactly
what goods Russia needed, M. Litvinoff
said: Prussia would import railroad ma
terials. agricultural implements, electri-
cal - ohinery OF all kinds, tools and
chemicals. Large quantities OF boots
and leather already have been imported
and much is still due from America
Speedy importation would quicken prog
ress and increase the amount OF Russian
exports.

toward England with q facility that pro-
duced more boos and Kisses and caused
ex-Judge Parker and Rabbi Silyerman
to frown in disapprovaI. Former Presi-
dent Wilson's name was loudly Kissed
when Senator King referred to his atti-
tude toward Russia and I'm the war. and
former Secretary OF State Bainbridge
Colby got q similar dose when his name
was mentioned. Senator King got, some
mild applause, principally from the floor
seats, when he ended his argument. but
the bulk OF the applause went for Lenine
and Trotzky-and 5enator France.
Former Secretary of the Navy Jo-
sephus Daniels sat with hundred
other persons on the platform and ap-
piauded every reference by Senator
King to the Wilson Administrations at
titude toward Russian affairs.
Senator Frances argument for the
Immediate resumption of trade relation
ships was based on the theory that Rus
sia wanted 10 buy and could pay for the
things she needed. He compared the
present Russia to great ship at sea
with some slight defect IN her machin-
cry that left her at the mercy OF the
winds and tides. Russia, he said, could
pay either in gold raw products or con
cessions. He maintained II was not in
cuubent upon the United States to In
sist on a government satisfactory TO her
before she should open trade relation
ships or recognize the existing Govern
ment.
Senator King attacked Senator
Frances statement OF facts. He denied
the existence OF a blockade and main
tained that the American people were
fres enough TO trade with Russia II
they wanted TO take the chance.
But trade means credit he said.
"and who wants to extend credit to Rus
sia7 DO you men and women here want
20 lend your money to Russia in the
present circumstances?"
Yes" the audience shouted.
Senator King declared ne mad the ut
most faith in Russia's future and en-
deavored TO impress the audience that
he yielded nothing to Senator France in
a hope for Russia's speedy rchabilita-
tion. when Russia cnancipates her
self from her present nightmare and
comes again into the sunlight she viii
take her place among the forward ma
tlons Of the world he said.
Senator King attempted to prove his
case by documentary evidence. He
read the United States Government 5
instructions 10 Its Ambassador ut Petro-
grad seven days after tho abdication OF
Gear Nicholas. in which recognition OF
the provisional government was given
because it believed that government had
the confidence Of majority Of the Rus
sian people.
But the United States Government"
Senator King continued. "at the same
time stipulated that II would not recog-
nize any government that imposed itself
upon free people by the despotic
usurpation Of power
The speaker oontrasted the United
states Governments attitude toward
Mexico and declared that that course
had the support OF the best thought
among the American people. He cited
the more recent incident OF Costa Rica
and then reminded hiS audience that
following the Russian revolution Amer
len had floated a loan OF 100000. 900
for the Russian people and that there
was a balance Of sss7,000.0o0 on hand
when the Bolsheviki took control OF the
situation.

Reputation Plan Discarded.
On this point Herr Erxberger denied
any great difference would be made in
favor OF the Allies by the cancellation
of the bonded debt.
Much OF the fifteen billions we pay
out in interest comes back to the treas-
ury through direct and indirect taxa

Finance Minister 7 studied the question
OF reputation and decided that conn
munisIn lay at the end OF the road which
began with that step.
IF the war loans were moro fairly
and evenly distributed 1t might be done ;
but war profiteers and large industrial
lists do not own war bonds. They are in
the hands of small househoiders. mer-
chants and skilled workers. The big
concerns unloaded their quotas long ago.
The bonds are now owned by municipal

dations

sious and health insurance could not
be paid, hospitals would close, research
work would be interrupted and philan-
thropies would have to be abandoned.
"The man who lost his bond would
ask why he should have to go without
dividend, while the man who bought
Industrial shares instead would have
his investment protected by the Govern
ment. He would rightfully insist on all
paper being cancelled. all bonds, mort
cages stocks, and IL that is done all
rights over property would be exercised
by the State What else is communism %
If Herr Erzberger had his way the
reimbursement for German properties
seized abroad would not cost his country
any large indemnifcations. He suggests
that imitation would do the nation at
Sess. ore service and would tax the
G'uerence between the value of gold and
paper marks as war profits.
SIicing Seized Property.
IL a German had property in London
in peace times worth one hundred thou
sand pounds the Government would in
demnffy him with twenty-four million
marks and then take so per cent. the
difference between the value OF the gold
mark and the present quotation of the
mark. In this specific case the man
would receive less than ten million
marks, and by the ruse OF taxation the
owner would realize only As per cent.
of the property's original value
Herr Erzberger would do this with all
of the ninety billions owed abroad and
the sum to be paid Germans for proper
ties taken by the Allies. He says that
the poverty OF the nation justifies the
adoption of such a policy.
The ninety billions is only tentative.
and huctuates with the exchange. He
estimates that America owes Germans
eight hundred million dollars and that
the German debt to America Is about
four hundred million. Should America
pay the difference. the ninety billion
marks could be reduced by twenty-four
billions.
II the balance of the ninety billions
could be brought down by taxation so

OUR COUNTRY FAIR.

Would you help build up your own commun-
|ityy? of course you answer yes, along with
every public spirited citizen - but are you
doing it?
One opportunity that comes but once aG3yea1
is here. Monday, Ramsey county''s fair, the
greatest event st its kind in North Dakota, will
open here with agricultural and home exhibits:
Displays are needed, stock end produce from
the farm and in. many Instances from the city
garden plot and home including the handicraft
Of women.
But, we can't all have displays, many Of us
can. However, every man, woman and nearly
all the children can attend the great display.
By doing so, we.will not only learn of the p,s
ductivity of our own community but we will be
boosting for a greater commonwealth. twill
help advertise Ramsey county and with the adj
vertising of our prosperity which comes from
our soil, comes higher land values. And also,
comes with those higher land values q demand
for more intensive farming, greater crops,
more dairying-and more wealth for all. The
success of the farmer is the success Of us in the
towns and villages. Y
To make each succeeding Ramsey county,
fair a greater success each year is a duty, ex-
hibits of our best and our presence; if possible
each of the four days, Monday, Tuesday, Wei
nesday and Thursday will be a boost toward
building up our own.

FOR MEN PAST FIFTY.

The old man is not wanted in business in
these modern days of industrial activity. Young
blood is demanded; blood that is full of "pep'
and life. That. is wise so far as the pep is con-
cerned, but the older men have ideas that are
valuable. They have ben through the mill, and
their experience is worth a great deal, even
more than that of the young fellow who jumps
around and oftenssteers the business into insolv.
ency. Cheer-up, old man, and get after bust
ness. The history of the past proves that many
a man has done his best work after he has
passed middle life. The annals of history are
with records of glorious achievements
by men who had passed fifty years of age.
