By all meas should Labor be represented ot the big isarmament conference, and it is pleasing to learn that President Harding is giving favorable consideration to the request that a representative of American workers be invited to participate in the discussion from which, t is expected, lasting peace will result

CONDITIONS IN RUSSIA

! correspondent of The Associat- ed Press. writing from Riga, says that all Russian news sources, Bol- shevik and nti-Bolshevik alike, paint a dismal picture of Russia's economic condition this summer.
 Soviet newspapers themselves ad- nit that the famine which threatens the country may be even worse than in preceding years of the Bolshevik regime. On the other hand, the Bol- shevik government contends that, notwithstanding the great difficulties attending the change of Lenine's policies during what it terms as the present period of transition from civil war 10 peace, Russia is slowly, yet steadily advancing on the road to restitution of her economic life. The agricultural machinery which has arrived from abroad will be of little assistance this year, it is ad- mitted. The crop failures in many governments have affected so large a proportion of the area sown that the machinery already on hand will be ample to harvest this years crop. In fact there are more machines than live stock to draw them and because Of the drought the already depleted supply of draft animals is threatened with further extinction because pasture lands are drying up.
 The Riga Bolshevik newspaper, Novy Put, recently printed from Moscow an extremely frank admis- sion It said:
 Several months already have passed since the new economic course has been inaugurated in Soviet Russia. But to put, as II were, the engine on new track, is no easy task and one not to be soon accomplished. The country is large, the population is sparse, com munications and roads are generally bad and the transport service is dis located The same is the case with the postal and telegraphic traffic.
 ''The new economic policy could not, of course, as yet have yielded

time, during the transition period the economic situation of Russia is at present an exceptionally grave one. The old distribution system has been abolished and does not yield anything, while the new (tax in kind) system can be expected to yield results only after several months.
 Moscow, Petrograd and other big industrial centers are experiencing a grave supply crisis. which is only in a slight measure alleviated by imports from abroad, from Siberia and from the Caucasus. This, in its turn, can not but influence un- favorably the productivity of in- dustrial establishments. In the Don etz district the output of coal has been only S5 per cent of the pro- gram. In the Moscow mining dis triet, too, the production has de- creased.
 "To make the calamity complete, there are the droughts following up- on an almost snowless winter. The Volga territory is under the menace of famine owing to a poor harvest. On the other hand, in some parts, for instance in the western portion of the Ukraine, the outlook is good.
 The prospects of realizing the harvest by means of the tax in kind, as well as by free purchase, are nevertheless fairly satisfactory. II IS expected to establish a four hundred million poods' grain re- serve. which would make 1t possible to put industry on a firm footing. With this end in view it will of course, be necessary to strain the government and the cooperative ap- paratus 10 the utmost, as was sug- gested by Lenine. :". .. ..:
 It must. of course, be borne in mind that no war is going on at present, the red army is being de mobilized and will shortly have been reduced to one-half of Is former strength. The idea of intervention in the Far East does not seem to meet with the approval Of the pow CTS, which are up 10 their ears in troubles of their own, which, in spite of all their efforts, they are unable to overcome.
 Nevertheless, everything points to the fact that Soviet Russia, not withstanding the great difficulties she has to face in the present period of transition, is slowly, yet steadily advancing on the road to restitu- ton of her economic life.''
 A congress of food supply officials of all Russia, called by Lenine 10 work out plan of averting the worst effects of the threatened famine and to devise means for col leeting the available foodstuffs, has just closed at Moscow. Most of the speakers were pessimistic, according to the Moscow Bolshevik newspapers. It was shown that, because of the disorganized state of transportation, grain would rot in the fields in the productive regions, while the cities would have to be put on short ra- tions, unless food could be import ed from abroad

Temptation Windows.

In a small Indiana town the Metho-
dist church has stained glass windows
ON the bottom panels Of which are
printed verses Of Scripture. One that
six-year-oId Willie has been able to
decipher, and from the effort remem-
bers well, goes: "And lead us not
into temptation"
Not long after, his mother took him
to visit an old friend who had built
an expensive new home. Now, in the
hall there were two high windows
and both Of them were made OF
orange-colored glass. When they en-
tered that room Willie stared and
stared but said nothing. But that
night when he told his father all about
the new house he remembered the
-aso windows and said: And oh,
dad, they're awfully religious. They've
got those windows that keep OUT temp
tation."
