Lenine Closes Red

Gravity of Crisis
Admittance Refused Even 10
Friends of Soviet, Report
Americans Returning to
Berlin; krassin Ignored
BIZ Wireless to The Tribune

Copyright, 1921, New York Tribune Inc.
BERLIN, June 13.--Even the inter-
cession of Leonid Krassin, Soviet
commercial envoy in London, has not
been sufficient to gain Senator Joseph
!. France, of Maryland. the adElittance
to Russia he seeks. 1t was learned to-
day that Senator Frances application
has been ignored.
Americans arriving here from Riga
declare that Lenine has refused ad-
mission to foreigners, including sym
pathzers, because he desires TO con-
ceal severe crisis existing in Soviet
Russia.
Senator France was met here bv
William Johnston, president OF the
international Association Of Machin-
lsts, who informed him that he also
had failed to gain admittance.
While Senator France was in Lon
don he communicated with krassin.
who promised to obtain him rermit
within five days. On his failure to
receive the permit Senator France de-
cided to proceed here and wait. 1t is
now ten days since the Senator made
aPPiicaIioH through hraSSln, VINO 1t Is
understood, personally urged the
Americans admission. According to
The Tribune's informant, the Senator
is extremely doubtful whether he
should go to Rigs to see Ganctsky,
the Bolshevik envoy there, fearing
that ne would be refused admittance
as was Johnston.
Mr.. Johnston will depart for home
tomorrow. He, like the Senator,
wished to study conditions there with
a. view to opening commercial rela-
tions.
LONDON, June 13 fBy The Asso-
clated Press ).-Leonid Krassin is
planning visit to Canada and the
United States in the near future, his
headquarters here to-day definitely IN
formed The Associated Press.
Krassin's trip will relate strictly to
trade, and will have no political sig
nificance, it was said He will go first
to Canada and then to the United
States if possible. 1t was said at his
office he does not anticipate that any
obstacles will be pIaced in his Wav.

Dutch Statesmen
See Oil as Cause
For Another War
Commissions Report Shows
Opposition to Considera-
ton Of American Objec-
lion TO Petrol Legislation

THE HAGUE, June 13.-From tho
report of parliamentary commission
appointed to Investigate the Djanbi
oil bill it appears that. opposition to
iral adoption OF the measure is weak,
although members reiterated their
stand in favor of state exploitation of
the oil fields in the Dutch East Indies.
These members ask state exploita
tion in order, they say, that Holland
may avoid becoming party to world
war, which, they declare, viii be the
inevitable result of the desire of the
great powers to control the worlds
supplies Of petrol and coal.
Before taking further action some
of the members expressed a desire for
further information regarding other
oil fields, and asserted it was desirable
for the Dutch government not 10 wait
long before closing contract with an
American concern for the exploitation
Ct some Of these fields.
The bill passed by the second
Chamber recently granted concessions
Petroleum Company, a. Royal Dutch
subsidiary, and excluded American in
terests from explorations in these
fields.
The report shows tina. some of the
members urged that Dutch national
honor dill not allow Holland to take
the objections Of the United States
into account, and that Holland should
oppose any attempt at interference
with her legislation or administration.
Generally, it appears, the members
approved the attitude of the govern
ment toward the communications of
the American Minister, expressing the
view that Dutch colonial and mining
legislation was not contrary to the
policy of the open door, which was the
correct policy, according to their ideas
Some members recommended that
the government should conclude a con-
tract with another great oil company,
similar to that with the Batavian Com
pany, while others wished to await the
result of the experiment involved in
the present contract

American Reported Slain
Four More Victims Added
to Belfasl's Dead in
Series of Renewed Riots
From The Tribune's European Bureau

Copyright 1921, New York Tribune Inc.
LONDON, June 13.-The proposed
visit of King George to Ireland for
the formal opening of the Ulster Par
lament. June %, may be abandoned
on the advice of the Viceroy, Viscount
Fitzalan. Renewed riots in Belfast, it
was learned to-day, have caused off,
cials to feel that the King would be
unsafe in Ireland. Representations to
this effect have been made
The Niceroy is known to be opposed
to the Kings visit also because of the
attitude of the rest of Ireland to the
Ulster Parliament, which it regards as
a device to defeat nationalist aspira-
tions. From moderate sources striving
for a settlement of the Irish difficulty
Viceroy Fitzalan has been told that it
would not be desirable to involve the
King personally in Irish quarreIs,
when at the present there is very little
personal feeling. even among extreme
Republicans, against the British royal
family. In many quarters a future is
looked forward to in which the crown
would be the chief link between the
reconciled factions of Ireland
The Viceroy, in speech last Thurs
day in the Belfast City Hall, charged
that Ulster was too fond of having
riots and urged the people to keep
sectarian quarrels under control. The
next day fierce rioting broke out fol-
lowing an attack by Sim Feiners on
three policemen, one of whom was
killed. That night reign Of terror
was conducted by an Orange mob in
the chief Nationalist district. Shortly
after midnight Saturday armed men
raided the homes of three Catholics,
whose bodies were discovered later
riddled with bullets Saturday and
Sunday there was more violence, with
rifles and revolvers in play. This re
suited in the killing of a special con
stable and three civilians and the
wounding of thirty men.

Four Added to Belfast's Toll

BELFAST, June 13 (By The Asso-

fcur more victims to Beifast's week
end death toll, three being killed in re-
rewed disturbances in York Street and
the fourth being shot during sniping
activities in Kashmir Road, in the Falls
Division of the city.
A peculiar feature OF the York Street
outbreak was furnished by the fact that
the combatants for the most part adopt
ed the method of firing through win
dows and skylights, from which bullets
flew in all directions. The area became
veritable no mans land, and it was
only at the gravest risk that the police,
even in armored cars, dared enter the

Something to

OUR WAsTEFUL HABITS
By +. n. WALKER

TFiIS frequently remarked by close

shamefully wasteful, and fling away
money without any apparent thought
Of the proverbial rainy day.
Whether these allen commenters
have. penetrated. deeply into the sub
ject is not definitely known, but judg-
Ing from their oft-repeated averments,
assuming at times a form of caustic
criticism, there is doubtless more
truth in the matter than we suspect.
1t is not without pang of regret
a ruf1ing of our pride, perhaps-th
we Americans, who are disposed to
analyze conditions with unbiased
minds, reluctantly admit that our Eng
lish cousins are right.

We recognize that we have many
spendthrifts, constantly setting a bad
example to the young, that they are
extravagant and decidedly foolish.
Money is poured out like water as
though, like Topsy, ut just growed."
There is consolation, however, in
the thought that these profigates
come mostly from the ranks Of the
newly rich and thoughtless inheritors.
They have no idea of the stern
realities of life, nor the long dragging
years Of incessant labor and self-de-
NAL that are necessary for working
or professional man to accumulate
even a moderate competency for old
age.
These people congregate where the
music flows, where the tables are
heaped with dainties.N They smile and
backbite, puff themselves up like frogs
and spend recklessly. They fall natur-
ally into a state which Is common to
their kind -~ =.
:. If we could follow them through
their improvident course to the end,
we would find them in pitiable plights,
repentant and likely as not homeless.
The necessity of conserving time
and money ought now be impressed
upon all Of us with considerable more
stress than 1t has been in the recent
past, and particularly upon the In
! considerate young men and women.
Let high thinking, hard work and
thriftiness form the important part Of
our spiritual bill of fare, so that In
the end we may be robust of body
and soul, sound of purse unafraid Of
landlords and in position In old age
to accept all the vagaries OF life with
supreme confidence and complacency.
