LONDON, March 12-The revolution
in Russia is purely local disturbance
without any serious significance or con-
sequence, Leonid Krassin, Bolshevik
trade envoy in London, told The Trib-
une correspondent in an exclusive in
terview to-day.
"Telegrams received to-day from the
Soviet Foreign Minister Tchitcherin at
Moscow deny reports Of a revolution,
said Krassin. "The facts are that p
mutiny on the battleship Petropaylovsk,
due to food shortage, spread to Cron-
stadt. Trotzky took command Of the
Red troops surrounding Cronstadt. l
have an unverifed report that Cron-
stadt has surrendered already, but, if
not, it certainly will in few days.
1t is a purely local disturbance. and it
is absolutely untrue that there is any
sort Of revolt in Petrograd and Mos
COW.
1.-The facts are that the false and ex-
aggerated reports are Allied propa-
ganda, faxed at lie factories at Revai
and Helsingtors for three purposes
firstly, to deter England's signing a
trade agreement; secondly, to injure
the standing of the Soviet government
in the eyes OF the world. particularly
the new Harding Administration in
America, and, thirdly, to affect Turkish
opinion, IS a delegation Of Nationalist
Turks is now in Moscow to sign peace.
Admits Bad Food Conditions
"The facts are that, while food COM
ditions arc bad, the Soviet govern
ment's position is stronger daily. The
internal situation is as good as could
be expected, bearing in mind that we
have had nearly seven years of war. 1t
will take about three years after the
signing Of universal peace for US to
return to a pre-war footing. I have just
bought 600 locomotives in Germany,
payment being made in gold"
Asked if the Soviet government
would make spring offensive against
Poland, Krassin said:
ut would be madness to attack Po-
land. The facts are that we are most
anxious to conclude peace with Poland,
and doubtless will do so soon, unless
France prevents. We are not fighting
ar offensive war, but defensive If
forced we will continue defensive war,
but our greatest wish Is TO make peace
everywhere and start an economical
cultural development of the country
Discussing. the projected British
Russian trade agreement, Krassin said:

one was severely wounded and several
were taken prisoner. There were no
casualties in the ranks of the crown

The Sim Feiners had intrenched
themselves at the side of road between
Ballngmore and Carrick- Shannon,
and as the military approached, the re-
pubicans opened the attack with bombs
and rifles. The Crown forces carried the

were tried and found guilty under an
ancient statute of having levied war

They had companion who, although
found guilty, too, has been sentenced
to life Imprisonment because he was

80 WORKERS BUILD 5

An example of the rapidity with
which the housing. shortage may be

by the Lumbermen's Association Of
Chicago when thirty workmen en-
ployed by the association erected a
nve-room bungalow in ten hours. The
men started work on a foundation in
readiness at a. m, and completed
the house at 5 p. m. The task in
cluded installation of electrical and
plumbing fixtures and decoration of
the interior of the house. N. C.

and at the same time demonstrate
that "a home today Is within the
reach Of every average wage-earner."

HOME OWNERSHIP IS
AID TO RIGHT LIVING
Forms Permanent Asset to Civic
DEVELOPMENT.

The theory Of investment as COM
monty applied to home ownership is
all wrong. Followed to its logical
conclusion. it places home ownership
on the same basis as stock gambling.
At every upturn in price the home
owner would sell: rent until prices
went down. and then buy again. His
home, on that theory, instead Of being
safe port in every storm, would be
a ship at the mercy of every storm.
All argument for home ownership
should stress permanence and stabil-
ity, not change and uncertainty.
The doctrine that home ownership
makes for good citizenship is based
or the theory of permanence, of con-
tinuous residence in one place, in one
home. The community idea. the or
ganization Of society, the basis of CIV
ilization, is in fact permanent COM
mon interest of groups as exemplified
in home ownership and payment OF
taxes All civic progress is founded
upon civic interest, which is made
permanent by such a stake in the
community as only home ownership
can give. This is a long way from
placing the home on a cash-return-on-
your-investment basis.
In most recent arguments about
homecoming. tho cart has been
placed before tho horse. A family
does not buy a home to save money;
1t saves money to buy a home. A man
does not marry to save money. but to
make a home. He docs not educate
his children to save money, but to
make an enlightened home. He does
hot labor from morning to night. day
In and day out, merely for money. but
for one thing that only money can
buy-a home.
The chief ambition Of every worthy
citizen is to make good home for
his family. Yet many have been mis-
led into thinking that a home is only
financial inVestment-that IT be-
longs, in the same category with
stocks and bonds. Money paid for a
home is good investment for the
family that otherwise would have no
home; not because 1t Is cheaper than
paying rent, but because right living
in America requires home ownership.

The sign is an impressive COM
