dealt only with those councillors
who had Gas citizens) voted against
the Greater London contribution.
In this way it was intended that
the rest of the council should meet
and vote the necessary tax ordinances
while the others were in jail. But
then it was discovered that SO many
of the councillors were liable to i'm
prisonment, and quite willing to go
to prison for what they believed a
righteous cause, that there would
not be a sufficient number of coun-
cillors left to form a quorum
And that is how the matter
stands, each side unable to move for
fear of giving the other an advantage.
Ii the councillors are arrested and
sent to Jail Gas citizens) there will be
forty-three cases of false imprison-
ment to be tried before anybody can
give further thought to the collection
of greater London taxes. Habeas
corpus, too, must have its day, or
forty-three days, and not even the
lawyers con foretell how many cases
might be developed on the ground
of illegal interference with the
Borough of Poplar administration.
Meanwhile il looks as If the rebels
were going to get what they really
want, namely, a radical reform Of
London's antiquatd system of assess
ment and taxation.
George Lansbury. editor of the
Daily Herald, is the leader of the
Poplar rebels and has such a large
following in the East End that there
are other reasons why the authori-
ties do not wish to put him in jail
for such a debatable "erime" as this
vigorous but not unruly method of
seeking reform of an obviously un-
just system of taxation.

After 80 days of very eventful
travelling Charles Crane, former min
lister to China, reached the western
border of Russia. He started with
supply of pins, needles, tooth
brushes and tobacco to pay his way
thru the soviet country, but two Of
fcials of the Chita government Of
Eastern Siberia, both former resi-
dents of the United States, fooled him
into believing that Lenine had re-
voked his passport and persuaded
him to give his supplies to their hos
pitfalls and themselves He proceed
ed on his way with his four compan-
ions and three trunks full of money,
and when he reached Riga he had
reached the bottom of his trunks. The
Chinese cook received a million
rubles a day to purchase supplies,
while railroad fares and other ex-
penses were paid for by millions. He
got 10000 rubles for three dollars.
They took baths at as many towns as
possible, for which they paid 5000
rubles each. Several days were spent
at Moscow ard'Petrograd where con-
ditions were studied and data secur-
ed for the state department
