The Flag in a Foreign Port.

The members Of the American col
ony at Rio Janeiro celebrated the
arrival there of new American mer-
chant ship with some very pleasant
ceremonies, A cablegram states:
Moving pictures were taken of the
liners entrance into the harbor. at
which time contingent Of former
United States soldiers. members of
the American Legion, boarded the
steamer and were given a luncheon
at which the staff of the American
embassy and consulate. representa-
tfves of the Shipping Board and Of
ficials of the North American Chamber
OF Commerce also were guests.
Tn the afternoon and evening q
reception and dance were given on
board, at which,, in addition to the
North American guests, there were
present representatives of the Bra
port authorities. army and navy Of
fcers and diplomatic and consular
corps and a delegation of newspaper
publishers and business men,"
Using the familiar phrase, this was
business. 1t was the proper way to
recognize an event of interest both
there and back home" It was the
appropriate introduction of a ship
destined. let us all hope. to make
many voyages and be often in port.
We want our merchantmen and
their shippers and crews to be popular
wherever known. We want them not
only to carry full cargoes abroad, but
to return with full cargoes. Our OBJ.
ject is twofold: To increase the size
Of our foreign trade. and to establish
ourselves as sea carriers.
In order to win, we shall have to
be diligent about both. We are buck.
ing a strong line. Our competitors
in foreign markets and for sea trade
are veterans. and have scored notable
successes. They were never more
alert than now. Recouping war losses
is a necessity the world round.
AS traders and carriers, therefore,
we must be at our best. employing
every fair means of rivalry, and
bidding for recognition with all the
arts, business and social. we can COM
mand and exhibit to advantage.

The Economic Crime in Russia.

Search for causes Of the Russian
economic debacle brings to light sew,
eral factors, chief of which, according
to the official statements of the soviet
government, is the drought, which
has lowered, the production OF grains
and other food crops. Lenin and his
associates at Moscow would have the
world believe that the sufferings. of
the Russian people are due to a provi-
Dental visitation over which the
soviet administration could have no
control They do not stress the fact
that the peasants, harried for three
years.by food collectors, have planted
less acreage in grains. preferring to
plant in grass to avoid appropriation
by the soviet. Nor do they note that
in many districts the food, collectors
of the Moscow administration have
taken even the seed grains, leaving
little or, in some cases. none for
replanting.
Lenin has been remarkably frank,
however. in his official statements re.
garding the famine. 81. In speech to
the Tenth Pan-Russian Congress, sew
eral months ago, before the present
disaster had developed, but referring
to past difficulties in the rationing of
the people, the soviet leader made the
following confession of error:
I'VE must confess, further. that we
have had no scientific basis for cal
culating our rations, Every capi-
talistic government. in spite of the
chaos and confusion peculiar to that
system. has some sort Of an expert
and comparing. the statistics of diff
ferent years. certain scientific laws
of supply and demand are woIlRd
out. We had no such basis Upon
which to figure, and, when we found
ourselves with supplies of food to
give our workmep. we did not know
where to set the limit
In other words. the soviet organi-
zation was incompetent to administer
the affairs of Russia. 1t was lacking
in the elemental knowledge of govern
ment. Yet it had taken power on the
assumption that 1t was competent to
direct the most intimate affairs of
the people. to overturn the entire So
to distribute lands and factories among
the peasants and workers, to take
over the business direction Of the
greatest aggregation of humanity in
the world under a single rule.

COAL BILL PAVES
WAY TO BITTER
SENATE BATTLE
Frslinghuysen Seasonal Rates
Measure Gives La Toilette
Opening to Attack.
~ >. BART CAMPBELL.
I.ternatieaai News Service.

The Senate plunged today into
what threatens to be long. Bit
terly- fought battle between the ad-
vocates OF Government regulation Of
big business" and the proponents
Of less government IN business"
The Immediate issue was the Free
itnghuy~en seasonal coal rate bill.
But behind the opposition and sup
port centered upon II WAS the re-
newed warfare between the forces
seeking to have the government di-
rect the production, transportation
and marketing of food, clothes. and
fuel. and those who contend that
they should be left to the law Of
supply and demand, and of private
business.
The Frelinghuysen bill. given the
right of way as the diminished busi-
ness" of the Senate. was the vehicle
for fresh onslaughts upon the Esch-
Cummins transportation act by Sena-
tor La Toilette, Republican, OF Wis

tion subcommittee OF The Senatorial
Agricultural bloc" and other Sem
ators bent upon dragging the whole
railroad problem before the Senate
again.
HOOVER II DEFENDED
Senators identined with the "agri-
cultural bloc" defended Secretary of
Commerce Hoover from attacks d.
rected by interests opposed to the
ferred recently with the '.agricui-
tural bloc"
Why should readjustment of the
coal situation. by initiating lower
freight rates during the spring and
summer months and higher rates
during the fall and winter months.
as proposed by the Frelinghuysen
hill be confined to coal. Senators
identified with the agricultural
bloc inquired: IL seasonal coal
rates are to be provided, why not
open up the entire freight rate
question, and demand complete
readjustment of all freight rates and
railroad conditions
The bill incorporates suggestions
by Chairman Clark, of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. and IL has
the unqualified and unanimous ap-
proval of the members of the COM
mission" said Senator Frelinghry-
