tries in Europe, refuses to deal with
Germany You cannot bring German
goods into Poland. German COM
merce is shut out by law. The From
tiers are closed against her goods.
This Is the substance Of what the COM
mander of the Polish German frontier
said to me: Germany is Offering to
sell goods to Poland at prices from
20 to 25 per cent cheaper than Eng
land and France. We intercept daily
these proposals on the frontier Ger
many offers to give longer time to pay
for the goods. / should say on the aver
age she offers to give credit for twice
the period offered by France or Eng
land" Could one wish better evil
dence that Germany Is coming back?
What two tests more clearly show the
commercial strength of an individual
or people than the ability to under
sell ones competitors and give longer
time credit?
Japan is penetrating Siberia. ST.
IBERIA is rich in gold, platinum, timber,
furS, bristeS, coal and salt. Generals
Rozonoff, Seminoff and Kalminoff, the
leaders of the Kolchak government,
have been betraying and peddling their
country to the yellow masters of the
Far East The Japanese are today
working concessions in the Ural noun
tainS They are Overrunning Siberia.
The Paris conference decreed that
nd
number of Japanese soldiers should
enter Siberia for the purpose of saw
ing the trans Siberian railway. These
armies were not given a license to
loot When Major General Graves
led the American eXpeditionary force
into Siberia ii numbered less than
the quota authorized by Paris. Gen
eraI Graves found the japanese army
there in great numbers. Instead OF
the 5000 soldiers authorized by the
Paris conference Japan has almost
10000 soldiers in Siberia. IT was I'M
derstOOd that the use of the railroads
by the American and Japanese mill
tary should be for military purposes
only. The truth IS that the japanese
government has used the railways TO
carry ont rich spoils.
Economic Exhaustion in Russia.
Notwithstanding the successes or
the Red" army, successes easily ac-
counted for, partly due to the reorsan-
izatiOn of the army by German "unter
officers" partly due TO the fact that
the majority Of the people, although
opposed TO soviet rule, are more OPP
posed to the Yudenlch, Petlura, Deni-
kline and Kolchak armies, movements
suspected of seeking to re-estahliSh
the old order in Russia. Russia is faSr
succumbing to economic exhaustion.
The world faces two great dangers II
something Is not done. One is the
conquest of Siberia by the yellow
peril" the other. the complete Prus-
sianfzing of Russia Japan's greed,
holiness and ambition is known. The
Allies gave courage to her effrontery
when they turned Shantung and 4o.-
100000 Chinese over to Japan. Shan
tuno is the heart of China; it Is, as
we'll, its soul It is the cradle of her
great prophet COnfucius. Ex-Elnperor
William. through fraudulent COM
nact with Gar Nicholas seized rights
in Shantung. When the war came on
japan sat on the fence. France ana
England urged her to come in with
the Allies. She did, but only after she
got her price. BY private engagements
with France and England, German
'rights" (truth would have written
them German "wrongs') in Shantung
were to be turned over to Japan il she
ieined the Allies. America was kept
in the dark as to this secret arrange
ment Vivandi and Balfour came to
America and told us many things, but
nothing about this secret compact. We
were induced to urge China to cast
her lot with the Allies. She did. All
China asked was that, when Germany
was conquered. she be given her own
Shantunp. After the war was over
President Wilson in Paris sought to
restore Shantung to China. Japan OBJ
Iected and presented her claim she
based II on the secret agreement with
England and France. For the nrst
time we learned of this secret agree
ment. Finally we consented to give
japan the determination of Shantung.
We struck the word "self" out OF the
phrase characterization. | am not

next outbreak of bolshevism in Asia,
It will be in China. Shantung VIII
be the reason, the course of the Allies
the cause
If the Allies do not adopt common
sense policy toward Russia, European
Russia will fall under the power OF
Germany. The people Of Russia look
upon Germany as more of a friend
than the Allies. The blockade of the Al
lies brought starvation to the very peo-
ple in Russia, who are opposed to
the soviet scheme. Meddling In the
Russian problem by the Allies has
caused suspicion, aid given to Yu-
denich, Petlura, Denikine and Kolchak
has made the Russians fear that the
