by regular political treaty. More
over, while it does not establish friend
ly relations, it at least establishes non
hostile relations.
The strongest advocates of the agree
ment, while not ignoring its economic
Importance and desirability as promot-
ing trade, have usually laid stress on
the beilef that more could be accom-
rllshed in freeing the Soviet regime
from its most Objectionable features by
opening Russia and the Russian people
to intercourse with the world than
could be achieved by policy of isola-
ton and antagonism.
The recent rising in Cronstadt is re-
garded mere as symptomatic of the dis
content of large classes of the popu-
lation of Russia, especially the peasant
classes, with the dictstorial methods of
the Soviet administrat ton. This dis
content only became apparent because
Russia, after several years military
struggle against forces within and
without, is experiencing now an era of
comparative peace and allowing the
ferment of natural political forces to
reassert itself. 1t is argued that this
ferment will continue with continued
peace and probably bring about the
evolution of a more democratic form of
government.
From this viewpoint the opening of
Russia to foreign influences, indicated
in number of treaties and agreements
already concluded OF about to be nego-
tiated, is of frst-class Importance.
Two More Treaties Forecast
A wireless message from Moscow
gives an extract from the official
organ Pravda, dated Sunday, emphasize
ing that Russia is entering on new
phase of international relations in
general, and economic relations in
particular, by the conclusion within
few days, under the adverse circum-
stances OF the Cronstadt rising, Of two
peace treaties, with Poland and Turkey
respectively, and trade agreement
with England. The Pravda says:
Clearly, Russia has become mighty
world power, and this is recognized by
the worlds stock exchanges"
Nothing has yet been published in
London concerning an agreement with
Germany, while it has also been stated
that some agreement with Rumania is
! likely to be concluded. Both Turkish
and Polish treaties provide for further
negotiations for mutual economic and
trading relations.
Italv has always been known as in
favor of trading with both Germany
and Russia. France still stands aloof
so for as any official approach to the
Soviet government is concerned. Het
enormous holdings of Russian bonds
stand in the way of such approach
but even in France there are not want
ing indications of change of opinion
in this respect. While there is no Off
cial recognition, there are no oficia'
obstacles placed in the way of French
| trade with Russia.

LONDON, March 21.--J. Austen
Chamberlain to-day was unanimously
elected leader Of the Unionst party in
the House of Commons. The entire
proceedings were formal and without
incident.
As Mr.. Chamberlain becomes leader
in the House as we'll as leader Of the
party, his position as Chancellor Of the
Exchequer must be filled.
In his speech of acceptance Mr..
Chamberlain said: CAT time of great
crisis we need to take a broader out
look than that of one party. The ira
tl;.lons of both parties are required at
such time"

anomaly of the head Of the government
failing to act as the leader in the
House of Commons. In some respects
it approximates the American system.
Conservatives to Reorganize
Tne Conservatives have decided to
1eorganize their party and show more
Independence hereafter. Political OBJ
servers say the coalition will disin-
tegrate rapidly and that Lloyd George
intends to organize new party with
the help of Winston Churchill. The
Premier has intimated on several oc-
casions that he sees no future for
either Of the old political parties. and
that new party is needed to fight
Labor. the only group with definite
policy.
The Conservatives, who now form a
majority in Parliament, are dissatisfied
because the coalition Liberals hold the
most plums. Lloyd George. the Pre-
mier; Lord Reading, Viceroy Of India; j;
Winston Churchill, Colonial Secretary,
and E. s. Montagu, Secretary for India,
all are Liberals. Although in the mi
nority, Lloyd George is strong die
tator to the maj jority, and no appoint
with him. Consequently, the Premier s
friends among the Conservatives are
constantly dwindling, while simultane-
ously his Irish policy lost him many
supporters among the Liberals. fo

Paris Is Disappointed

PARIS, March 21 (By The Associated
Press lin French official circles keen
disappointment was expressed over re-
ports received this afternoon from Up
per Silesia saying that Germany will
retain the district as result Of Sun
days plebiscite, but the officials do
not yet admit the area is lost to Po-
land. They pointed out that the re-
ports of the plebiscite we've unofficial
and came mostly from Berlin. 1t was
said that in the event of the majority
of the vote being German the territory
probably would be divided, leaving to
Poland those places which voted Po-
iish.
Stress was placed by French officials
on the agricultural vote, which it is
hoped will prove to be largely Polish,
but it was conceded the towns had
voted German. Reports of the result
Of the plebiscite were received too late
for comment in the afternoon news
papers.

SHISMAREFF NATIVES
 CATCHING FOXES

Despite the prevailing low prices. native trappers of the Shisinarcff sec ton have bagged a considerable num- Der of fox this winter according to Percy Blatchford. who recently return etl from a trip to the Wales section. Blatohford states that the natives of that section have finally decided that the slump in fur prices is not due to profiteering procEvities on the part of the waite man after all and are willing in most cases to accept .he reduced figures offered. The aboriginal mind was unsIble to comprehend the fur situation for some time and figured it out that as long as food prices Were still high. fur prices should also be high. Their chief complaint, accord ing to Blatdhfor1 is that they have to pay the samap rices for supplies but have to take less for their pelts. Else where on the peninsula, the natives are aaid to be in many instances refusing to trap on the ground .fAt it does not pay.
