SOVIET PLANS
NEWSYSTEM To
SAVE CURRENCY
Replacement of Ruble Value
May Bring Money Back to
Normal Basis.
by international News Service.

BERLIN, Dec. 31.-The magician
who handles the finances Of soviet
Russia will shortly attempt a new
prestidigitation which, IL successful
may win him the admiration of the
rest OF the world. According to ad-
vices here the soviet commissariat
Of finance is now considering q plan
to abolish the zero from the currency
system.
The state bank, which has re-
Gently been reorganized by the boil
sheviks, is to be instructed to issue
new kind of money. One ruble Of
the banks currency is to be ex-
changed for 10000 rubles of the regu-
lar soviet paper. AS a result the
fabulous fortunes Of soviet money
will be in the course Of time Debated
to one ten-thousandth Of their mathe-
NAUTICAL sums in the new currency.
If the scheme works out the prices
of commodities and foreign money
will automatically drop to reasonable
figures. At the present time a dollar
sells for about $50, 900 soviet rubles
Under the new scheme of things 1t
will sell for fifteen rubles issued by
the state bank. A pound OF bread
which costs at the present time 5000
rubles will drop to eighty kopecks OF
the new money and 80 on down the
line.
While the technical preparations
for the new plan are being worked out
the Soviet government already put
into effect a law offering from to
s per cent interest a month on all &C
counts deposited at the State bank.
This enormous rate OF interest,"
amounting to 80 and 10 per cent
years. designed to coax the tons OF
paper money boarded by peasants ana
to gradually re-establish a system OF
credits. As long as the peasants hold
their store of colored paper souvenirs
1t will be difficult to accomplish any
financial deflation.
The financial problem Of Russia Is
now regarded as chiefly psychological
in character. The peasants OF Russia
have acquired q superstitiOus regard
for big figures-even IL they don't
mean anything. What the govern
ment hopes to do is to gradually wean
them away from this psychology and
get them to accept smaller figures.
One class Of Russia's population
which will be immensely thankful IL
the deflation schemes proves success
full are the bookkeepers and the pay
masters. The bookkeepers are now
staggering under an avalanche OF
zeros in their addition columns. Train
ed under the old notions Of balancing
their accounts to the last kopeck, they
have had to resort to legarythm tables
for their stupendous- calculations. As
for the paymasters. they have long
ago had to fall back upon wagons 10
carry the payrolls from the Soviet
printing presses to the factories.

|MEX|CANS SELL
OLD EMBASSY To
EUGENEA. SMITH
Will Be Refitted as Home for
Lawyers Title and Guar
anty Company.

The passing of another landmark in
the city Of Washington was noted this
week. with the announcement by the
Mexican government OF the sale OF it's
property at 1913 street northwest, to
Eugene A. Smith, president Of the
lawyers Title and Guaranty Com
any.
This property was bought by the
Mexican government some forty years
ago, and has since been used as its
embassy. 1t has been center of
much interest in the city during recent
years when the relations between the
United States and Mexico have several
times been somewhat strained.
Mexico has recently purchased the
Franklin MacVeagh home on six
teenth street, for a consideration of
s350,000, and is spending $125.000 on
improvements. The new official rest
dence will be occupied about Febru-
airy 1.
AS soon as the Mexican government
gives up possession Of the old property
on l street, the building will be re-
Inodeled to become the new home of
the Lawyers Title and Guaranty Com.
pany. The consideration paid by Mr..
Smith was around $4,000.
The combination deal of selling the
Mexican government the MacVeagh
home, and the sale of the old embassy
property was the largest in residential
property in several years. and was
especially interesting due to the inter
national complications to be overcome.
Appropriations had to be put through
the Mexican senate and other govern
mental channels. Special powers of
attorney had to be obtained from
proper sources in Washington in order
to make good the title Of an unrecog-
nized nation. and these special papers
had to be witnessed by American con-
suls and approved by the State Depart
ment Of the United States.
