BREWING WAR.
By GEORGE WESSLER.

Lenin is again stirring up trouble
He tried to embroil the U. S. in a
war with Japan by giving Washing
ton B. Vanderlip concessions in Kam-
tchaka. This Asiatic plot failed, due
to its exposure in the capitalist press.
But the Muscovite never sleeps. He
glided East, sliced off the nose tip
Of the Kamtchaka Peninsula, padded
it out into the Pacific, and anchored
it within the triangle formed by ia
pan, Guam, and the philippine Is
lands.
In his cynical way he named this
island zap.
Now with twisted-up face, Lenin
gleefully watches his enemies, the
American and Japanese governments,
yapping over Yap like two snarling
dogs.
whether war will actually break
out over the Yap controversy, as the
French papers seem to believe, no
one can foretell. Europe weathered
Its Fashoda, Marroco and Aganr af.
fairs but finally plunged into wal
80.

HUNGARY.


The Young Communist League in
which 10000 members were organized
previous to the Dictatorship, and
during it $4,000 young workers of
both sexes, has ceased to exist Of
ficially under the regime Of the White
Terror, though Illegal groups are con-
tinuing the work.
ITALY.
The Y. C. l., always true to the
Banner of the Revolution carried on
during the war an intensive anti-mili-
tary revolutionary activity and is to-
day leading the Revolutionary Move
ment in Italy, being the backbone of
the newly formed Communist Party
there.
SWITZERLAND.
Though it numbers fewer members
than most of the other sections, the
Y. c. L. has been very active, having
carried on an energetic anti-military
propaganda during the war.
FRANCE.
After having expelled the followers
of Laine, the League joined the Y. G,
I. in November 1920. The energetic
anti-military propaganda carried on
by the section, is of course being fol
lowed up by the bourgeoisie with an
unrestrained persecution, which, how
ever, has so far not deferred our
comrades from battling on yaliantly.
BELGIUM.
The country being trained to very
high degree with social-patriotism the
Communist Movement is but in its in.
fancy. The organization had to aver.
come many serious difficulties.
NETHERLAND.
In spite Of its rather small member
ship the Y. C. L. is very active in
deed. II has to overcome the resist
ance Of the powerful social-democratit
organization which is exploiting to thu
utmost the advantages given it b,
the fact that the country is also thu
seat Of the Yellow Trade Union In
ternational of Amsterdam.
SPAIN.
The Y. C. Lof Spain, after having
launched a brisk propaganda for tn,
III. International, has founded tht
Communist Party Of Spain, the re
volutionising Of the social-democrati'
party which is soaked to its very cor
with social-patriotism having proved
impossible. The younger member

In the League has united the Social

Bohemia, the Communist Youth
of Czechien Qeft), and the Commun-l.
ist Youth Of Slovakia. The we'll or
ganized League is carrying on brisk
anti-military struggle, and marches
everywhere at the front of the Com
munist movement. How it is feared
by the bourgeoisie, is shown in the
campaign of determination commenced
against it by the police in April last.
THE BALKANS.
The strongest youth organization in
the Balkans is by far the Y. c. l.. Of
Bulgaria. The Y. c. L. Of Jugo-Slavia
has been declared dissolved by the
Reaction which in doing so intended
to do away once and for ever with
the Communist Movement. The plan
did not succeed, however, for the
League is still carrying on its work.
To this section belongs also the Com
munist Youth of Hungary. The Greek

BUSINESS MAY
 ABSORB DEBT
Harding Launches Plan to EX- tend the. Debt-Allied Loans Would be Converted Into Ger tifcates Bearing Interest.

Washington, June 17-Authority to readjust the entire foreign loan situa. tion so that the nations outstanding credits may be put into more definite form is to be requested of Congress in the near future by the administra- ton.
 The administrations plan, whicE was discussed at length at today's cabinet meeting, contemplates con- version of the loans owned by Euro pean nations into interest-bearing cel tificates which could be absorbed by American business and commercial, interests.
 Congress will be asked by Secre- tary of the Treasury Mellon, to give to his department sufficient authority to make these conversions. In some cases the department already has that authority under the Liberty Loan act but there are other instances, particu- larly relating to overdue interest where additional legislative action is necessary.
 It is understood that the presidents policy with regard to unpaid interest contemplates a distribution of the overdue payments over long period

NO FUNDS FOR
 FARM LOAN BANKS
Markets Will Not Stand More
 Bond Issues, Says H. w. Dan forth, Speaking Before Ark ansas Land Title Association.

Little Rock, June 1.-The feature of the meeting of the Arkansas Land Title Association here today was the address this afternoon of H. w. Dan forth, president of the Farm Loan Bank of St. Louis. He said the funds available at the present time are suf- ficient to take care of only 25 per cent of the applications now on file. He also said the difficulty was due to the inability of the market to absorb further bond issues at the present time. The market is flooded with se- curities of every description, many of them carrying higher rates of inter est than loan bank bonds, which earn five per cent. These are secured by first mortgages as collateral.
 A bond issue of $4O0OO,O00 was successfully fioated recently, how ever, the speaker said, but three or four times this amount could be used immediately. Of the proceeds of the last issue, $4,000,000 has been allotted to the Sixth district, which consists of Arkansas, Missouri and Illinois More bonds will be sold as soon as the market is capable of absorbing them, MT. Danforth said, but at the present time there is little indication that any considerable amount of bonds can be sold He said if the straight six per cent rate on farm loans now in effect in Arkansas is | to be maintained farmers must make their credit as good as that of other sections of the country.
 At the present time Arkansas credit is below standard, the speaker declared, and an increase in the inter- est rate will be necessary to cover the excessive risk unless conditions change. At the present time the six per cent rate is in effect in all parts of the United States.
