Large concessions in the Baku oil

granted a British company by the

The concessions are reported to pro.

The report as received here today
supplements various unofficial reports
received recently from abroad to the
effect that offers had been made by
the Russian soviet government to
British companies for oil concessions
In the rich Baku fields. In particular
formal announcement was made by
Moscow wireless, April 4, of the de-
naturalization of Russian industries
to. permit the exploitation OF various
works by foreign concessionaries. II
also has been reported that with the
negotiation of the trade agreement
with Moscow by the British govern
ment efforts were being made for the
reamrmation of British oil rights in
the Caucasus.
American interests also were repre-
sented in the Baku fields before the
war. and it was said yesterday by
ofnctals that some effort was under
stood to have been made recently by
American companies in the direction
OF obtaining concessions there from
the soviet government, but it was un-
certain what progress had been made.
Concerning the value Of concessions

RUSSIA SEEKS FOOD
BY NEW TAX PLAN
Levy on Peasants for Pro.
duce Declared Less Than
Under Old Regime.
BY LOUIS LEVINE.

By Wireless to The Star and Chicago Daily
News, Copyright, 1921.
REVAL, Esthonia, June 1.-Russia
is in a desperate struggle against
economic dilapidation,' although the
soviet authorities look hopefully to
the results Of new economic policy.
The latest DEGREES have fixed the
peasants taxes at 100000 pounds
of grain, 60,000.00O pounds of potatoes.
100000 pounds of oil seeds, more
than 100000 pounds Of dairy prod
'ucts. 100000. 900 eggs, and SO on. The
soviet authorities point out that this
tax is from 20 to so per cent less than
system. and therefore should be ac-
ceptable to the peasants.
The soviet authorities are aware
that difficulties are possible. because
the peasants are incredulous and may
resist taxation altogether. However.
the soviets hope to get some of the
farm produce needed in the cities by
for those of the farm AS an add :
tional means of getting this supply
the soviet government has just de-
clared state monopoly of the salt
supply. aiming to exchange salt for
arm produce. 1t is expected that the
remainder can be obtained abroad
through money obtained from exports
LII dUulllOH tHe Hdc a
fund of 150.000,000 gold rubles CS75.-
000.000) with which to make pur-
chases in foreign markets.
No less important than the food
question is that of fuel supply for the
railroads, factories and domestic pur-
poses. Under the present conditions
the soviet authorities must rely
mainly on the wood reserves for fuel
The railroads have only forty-four
days supply of wood, ten days supply
Of coal and twenty days supply of oil.
The soviet government has declared
three weeks of obligatory service for
cutting and gathering wood. The
magnitude of the task may be judged
from the fact that Moscow alone needs
500, 100000 cubic yards of wood annu-
ally. The bolsheviki claim that the
crop prospects are favorable for
carrying out their tax program.
Meanwhile Russia is living through
a period of unparalleled hardship. In
the crops last year were bad the
peasants are suffering from hunger.
Committees organized to help them
are able to distribute food only to
children and to them in insufficient
quantities, so far as concerns Moscow
and Petrograd. The total supply of
bread in the country is equal to 3d.
100000 pounds. while the minimum
need is 100000 pounds a month.
The supply of meat is exhausted
In spite of all their efforts, the Rus
slams living in the cities and villages
are facing three months of partial
starvation. This can be relieved only
by the outside world.

PARIS WANTS FIRM

Debate Over Proposed Al.

PARIS, France, June 1.-THE de-
bate concerning the advisa bility of
seeking to conclude a treaty of alli-
ance with Britain continues warm
The entire French press is agreed
that merely for Britain to guarantee
to assist France in case of "unjusti-
fled aggression" from Germany would
be insufficient.
If a new shock occurred" argues
Auguste Gauvain in the journal des
Debats,. lit would probably follow a
prolonged diplomatic conflict or a
series Of local incidents that would
provoke recourse to force. 1t would
then be very difficult to discern which
state should be considered the ag-
greSSor."
The Echo de Paris is very much
opposed to attempting a resumption
of the British and American guaranty
pacts negoriated by Premier Gle
American spirit of isolation would
tend to strengthen the British senti
ment of insularity to the detriment
of France and her continental power.
This phenomenon. it adds, was clearly
demonstrated during the peace con-
ference.
Moreover" it adds. "American
thought is essentially mobile and
changing. At all times it has been
difficult for the President of the United
States to conclude any sort of treaty.
The United States is continent
which does not lend itself easily to
international compromises and it
chafes under such as it happens to
have concluded"

fore desires that France should treat
separately with Britain while doing
everything possible to maintain

SECTIONALALLIANCES
HELD PEACE MENACEl
George N. Barnes Condemns Proposal for Al
Separate Treaty.Between France Z.

By Radio to The Star.
LONDON, June 1.-THE proposal of
a separate treaty Of alliance between
France and Great Britain is a thor
oughly bad one.
All sectional alliances should be-
avoided and condemned.
The Anglo-Japanese agreement
should be a warning. 1t has been the
peg upon which mischief-makers have
fastened for the purpose of intensity
ing national vanities and prejudices.
This agreement may not be renewed
when the current term expires next
month. Certainly it will not be re-
newed in it's old form.
AS to the proposed Franco-British
alliance, it will be remembered that
when the peace treaty was drawn up

the United States were to be brought
under obligation to protect France
against possible future aggression

idea is now being revived and ampli-
fed in regard to it's objects. 1t is
suggested that Great Britain alone
shall undertake responsibility and
that there shall be a new alliance.
The Belgian foreign minister chimes
in at Brussels with the suggestion
that Belgium should have place in
the agreement.
In denouncing this proposition as a
bad one 1 realize that the 1919 agree
ment had it's dangers, but at least the
obli cation was clear and it was tenn
States and Great Britain it was an
agreement between peoples of the
same language and the same ideals.
A new alliance binding only one of
these parties in a pursuit of objects
not clearly defined, and with peoples
would he full of graver danger.
1t might even lead back to rival
groupings of nations and to another
war.
Cites AnglO-Japanese Pact.
1t would certainly lead to division
and confusion where there should be
unity and clarity. Take the Anglo
Japanese agreement. for example.
irresponsible persons have said it has
prejudicially affected. or might preju-
diclally affect, American interests.
These statements are quite untrue,
for the objects were and are confined
to the maintenance of peace and the
interests of the contracting parties in
eastern Asia and India. and the inde-
pendence of China and the maintenace
of equal opportunities for commerce
and industry of all nations in that
country"
There may be difference of opinion
as to whether or not the terms of the
agreement have been loyalty OBJ

| even more forcefully to France. since
the latter suffered the devastation. while
the former Is intact. and because
what the London agreement let's
Germany escape paying must be paid
by France.
| We lack confidence because. while
some of the statements made by
Chancellor Wirth and Foreign Minis
ter Rathenau seem to indicate good
will and a determination to keep
promises, other statements are less
reassuring and certain acts tend to
further doubts.
Germany signed the treaty prescrib-
ing the division of Upper Silesia by
communes after a plebiscite. yet DR..
Wirth claims the whole of Silesia
for Germany.
Wirth also declares he will end
Gen. Hoefers Silesian enterprises,
who could not have recruited MS
army and assembled his war material
without the German governments 8
knowledge and who pursues his ac-
tivities.
The German government officially"
protests against plebiscite campaigns
in Austria, but the man inspiring
these campaigns Is Rosenberg the
German minister at Vienna.
The German government declares
it's intention to punish those guilty
fwar crimes, but the Leipzig YER
diets provoke nothing but derision; !,
For the sixth or seventh time tne
German government has promised TO
execute the treaty clauses concern
ing disarmament. but Hooters ex-
ploits in Silesia show how far sne
is from DISARMAMENT.
The French people. whom geog-
raphy has condemned to see GER
many at close range. noticed these
striking manifestations, and when
told that the London agreement mas
magically converted Germany 10
peace and respect for contracts they
are naturally skepticaL. We have suf-
fered too much to trust so easily
in our neighbors.
Uncertainty in Orient.
At present all is uncertainty. This
is particularly true in the orient.
Our English friends wanted US TO
follow King Constantine of Greece IN
a great crusade against the Turks.
1 am convinced the French chamber
will never agree to such a policy.
We had war on our own soil for
ffty-two months. That was enough.
We do not want to go to war IN
Asia Minor. This, of course, does not
depend entirely upon ourselves. II
the Kemalists attack US IN syria we
must defend ourselves. But that IS
no reason to fight for Greek amoi-
tions, French blood will never now
to get territory for Constantine. the
brother-in-law of the one-tfne Kaiser
William Hohenzollern.
Nobody seems to be anxious for an
early meeting of the allied supreme
council to discuss the oriental Ques-
tion. Such meetings always turn out
badly for us and we do not care to
court further disappointments.
