Russian es from Reval,
Reply. Esthonia, report
that Maxim Lit
Ivinoff, Chief of the Soviet
Delegations Abroad, has
replied to the late note OF
this Government with refer
ence t. trade between the
United States and Russia,
flatly denying that Soviet
Russia has nothing worth
while to export, calling atten
ton to specific quantities Of
supplies ready and being
made ready for expectation
and again putting the ques-
ton Of trade with Russia on
purely commercial terms 'tn
to the United States Gov

claration that Russia stands
ready 20 import from this

| There are undoubtedly
two opinions in this country
as to the desirability Of trad

Wilson Administration main
tanned that the resumption
of trade with Soviet Russia
would necessarily carry with
it political recognition of the
Soviet Republic, something
which this Government had
steadfastly refused to be a
party to ever since the lead
ers Of the present Russian
regime sold out to the Ger
mans while our troops were
taking their places in the
battle lines of Flanders. AS
soon as the Harding Admin
istration came in, the Soviet:
leaders, having been told by

Secretary Of State, Mr..
Hughes, very promptly IN

SCHOOLS GROWING TOO SMALL
And School Population Too Large
Miss W0Olverton SAYS In Kansas

/
With the one exception Of Man
chester which has just completed
a new school building, dedicated
this week, every school under coun-
ty supervision is finding its equip
ment inadequate to its enrolment
This was the statement Of Miss
Mary FL Woolverton in commenting
on the remarkable increase in school
population during recent years in
this county.
Miss WOOlverton favors the APP
pointment Of commission to draft
school legislation. She said in her
opinion, all the school recommends
lions to the present legislature were
vital and should have been enacted
to the advancement Of education In
Kansas, however that one provid-
ing the appointment Of school
code commission she deems the
most necessary. New York. Indiana
and California have had such sys-
TEN In operation with marked sue
cess for several years she said but
the commissions in those states
have consisted of but one man. The
establishment Of school code COM
mission, Miss Woolverton asserted,
will unity the school system from
the primary through the college
course, thus eliminating much dupli-
cation. She added that there is
probably wisdom in Kansas plan Of
having three members on the code
commission rather than one.
