FAV0RS DYE EMBARGO
Weeks and DENLY Urge Its Res
toration in Tariff Bill. a..
Cabinet Members Stress Provision Be-
cause of National Defense IS -.
Needs.

Washington-Secret Weeks and
DENLY have come out in support Of
an embargo on dyes and chemicals and
have urged restoration to the Fordney
tariff bill of the embargo provision,
stricken out by the House. The atti-
tude of the two cabinet officers was
made known when Chairman Penrose
of the Senate Finance committee made
public letters from them to the COM
mittee on the subject
The cabinet officers explained that
they favored an embargo because of
national defense needs.
1T is Of great value to the navy"
Mr.. DENLY wrote, ito encourage the
development of chemical activities in
the manufacture OF products connect
ed with explosives and gasses, espe-
Establishments can easily be diverted to
the manufacture of war materials.
The restoration of the embargo clause
will be of material help and I will
greatly appreciate assistance to this
effect"
Embargo orders have been found
necessary in England, Japan, France,
and Italy, Mr.. Weeks said. He also
declared that the chemical industry
was vital to Germany in prolonging
her efforts in the World war and ex-
pressed the opinion that high explo-
sives and war gases would play far
more important part in future wars.
In the World war, he said, the Uni
ted States has found it could mobilize,
train and equip with clothing four mil
lion men far quicker than it could sup
ply the guns and ammunition. He re-
lated how the munitions makers had
worked feverishly to supply the NUM-
tions and war gases, adding that even
then little was available for more than
a year after the formal declaration of
war.

Move to Scrap Levy on Wearing Ap-
pareI, Fountain Drinks and Ice Cream.
Observation-Disclosures to eliminate
the taxes on fountain drinks and ice
cream, and the so-called luxury tax on
wearing apparel, is understood to have
been reached by Republican members
of the House ways and means COM
mittee, sitting in executive session. A
reduction of one-half in the 10 per cent
levy on sporting goods also is said to
have been approved.
The total loss of revenue from the
proposed changes would be slightly
less than $50,000,000 and the reduc-
tons are the first to be passed upon
by the majority members in their
effort to carry out the announced pro-
gram Of Republican House leaders to
cut $500, 100000 from the nations tax
bill.

RUSSIA IN ! DISTRESS
II Million People in vo|ga Re-
gion Starving to Death.
Mrs. Harrison, Freed American News-
paper Woman, Lays Famine to
-. Economic Faults.

Berlin-The American relief work
ers who are about tC 60 into famine
stricken Russia probably will find 49,
100000 persons in the Volga basin &C.
tually starving and two-thirds of the
entire population of Russia on hunger
rations, according to Mrs. Marguerite
E. Harrison, the American newspaper
woman, recently released from prison
in soviet Russia.
This Mrs. Harrison attributes to in
ternal economic and political distinte-
grafton under soviet rule, and also to
the ravages of wars against Admiral
Kolchak and General Wrangel and to
the drouth. What the drouth failed to
accomplish CONSUMPTION of farmhands
and reQuisitioning of grain for the red
armies completed.
The result is that the Ukrainan re-
public, normally the granary of Rus
STA, barely is able to sustain itself.
Siberia virtually is in the same pre-
dicament. Neither region is willing to
surrender grain to famine sections,
and migration OF. peasants is now pro-
ceeding, completely hating the autumn
planting. s. .~:~
Pitiful stories of suffering are told
on all sides. Peasants Of Tambov, are
reported to be eating bread made Of
straw, potato parings and weeds. 1t is
called lebedya. IN the Novenski pris-
on where Mrs Harrison was detained,
the bread was adulterated with -four
which appeared to have been made
from cowpeas.
The food shortage, she says, is not
the result of the crop failure, but Of
the economic conditions prevailing
since the beginnings of the revolution.
During the Kolchak campaign the VOL
ga provinces were overrun with the
results that the fields were not cult
yated and the population scattered.

UNCLE DUDLEY'S COLUMN
Very Much Awake.

There may have been time when
the residents of small country town
or farming district took little or no
interest in affairs outside of their local
community other than to vote their
straight party tickets at election timeI
But that time is not now. It has not
been for many years.
The man behind the counter or the
pillow is just as vitality interested in
state and national affairs as is his
cousin in the great city.
The foreign news is just as carefully
scanned from day to day, and the field
Of research and invention is religiously
scrutinized.
There is little that transpires in the
world of affairs that is not known and
understood by the man in his rural
home, for it is through his constant
search for advanced knowledge Of a
practical nature that he is enabled to
keep pace with the swiftly moving
ideas Of life.
If just comparison could be made
it is probable that, man for man, the
person in the country, town OF, on the
farm would be found to be better
posted OF the affairs Of the world in
general than the average dweller Of
any Of the great cities.

Every citizen of the United States
should make careful study of exist.
ing conditions in this country and the
governmental methods of dealing with
them. The greater the knowledge and
interest displayed by private citizens,
the more carefully will public officials

According to an opinion by Attor-
ney General Morgan Of Wisconsin pri-
vate owners have no lawful right to OBJ
struct the lakes Of Wisconsin from use
by the public through construction OF
fences across pathways or by any other
means that would keep the waters out
Of public use. The stand of the at
torney general will open all Of the
lakes Of the state to any person who
cares to make use of them without per-
uniting private owners of AUDITING
land from excluding them. It points
out that the shores of Lake Michigan
and Superior are included within this
Interpretation. If Minnesota lacks a
law Of similar nature, it is time for
the legislature to look into the matter.
And the shore land Of lakes Of certain
sizes, at least, should be protected
against being wholly owned by individ-
uls, part to be reserved for the public
use.
