oh, dear, it's just one thing right
after another. Here When we nad
learned to shimmy and really could
do it if we wanted to. now then, comes
along something else. The shimmy is
ali very ancient now, for they're not
doing it in the east. It's a shame, for
we were getting along so peacefully
this winter, having beautiful time
dancing the fox-trot, one step and
waltz and occasionally putting in a lit
tie shimmy or two, but since Christ
mas it's all changed. OF course we
have heard of the new dance before,
but then reading of it and seeing it
are two different things.
Some of our young teen age dancers
arriving home from the eXclusiVeness
of Miss Somebody's school (why is 1t
that married women never have ex-
elusive schools, it takes maiden lady
and an elderly one at that to have one
really exclusive)-have brought upon
us-''the toddle." Really those who
have been having little try-outs learn
ing to todd1e say it's lots of fun. OF
course, one must be young to toddle.
One unfortunate thing about the
dance is that it's not quite so check
to-cheek" as the others, the reason
being they say that one doesn't have
time to indulge in this sort of thing
then, for you're too busy trying to
toddle just right. The dance, we have
heard, originated in the crowded tea
rooms in New York city where the
gay crowds who wished to dance and
could not find room enough on the
floor to do SO. just stood still and went
thru the motions anyhow, resulting in
their doing the. "toddle:"

grain. (This is approximately 1S.ooo.-
600 bushels).
The Soviet Premier said this would
greatly help the famine situation in the
volga district, but declared the Soviet
Government must continue to exert
every effort to collect its full grain levy.
He said 1t would require 100000 pools
more from abroad to bring the total
average before next harvest to 215,000.-
900 pools, which was 15,000.000 poods
below the minimum necessary to carry
Russia through the famine crisis.
The Congress indorsed a resolution OF
thanks to DIR. Fridtjof Nansen and the
American Relief Administration for re-
cent famine relief in Russia. The reso-
luton especially mentioned the Relief
Administration as having helped more
than any other foreign organization.
Delegate Semashko presented an
alarming report Of the typhus epidemic.
which he described as being so bad on
the railways that half Of the soldiers
travelling from place to place had con-
of bodies. including many children. were
being picked up daily at congested rail-
way centers.
The sessions Of Congress were held IN
the Moscow Opera House. which was
crowded with 1852 delegates and 200
other party leaders and spectators. in
Guiding Major Lonergan, representing
the American Relief Administration. and
many other foreigners. The main floor
of the theater was entirely filled with
delegates, mostly workmen dressed IN
furs, who kept on their fur caps through
out the proceedings, presenting the ap-
pearance Of gathering Of frontier s.
men. contrasting with the brilliantly
lighted and gold decorated auditorium.

Moscow, Dec. "a ASSOCIATED Press).
gress to-day approved of the new
Soviet economic policy as outlined be-
fore that gathering by Premier Nikolai
Lenine. This approval was given by
which was presented as the report Of
the Council of Commissars on the do
mestic and foreign policies of the
Soviet Government. In his address
Lenine sharply criticized the labor
unions, which he said desired to direct
industries without showing the neces-
sary ability.
Although the Congress accepted the
new policy. this acceptance was given
grudgingly by large faction of the
Communists who dislike the Govern
ment's change to capitalistic methods.
One reason why the Communists ac-
some quarters, was because they had
no alternative plan to offer. Although
these delegates detest the terms
money" Capitalism" and trusts"
they grudgingly accepted their leaders
apologies that the economic change
was only temporary and necessary for
the ultimate construction Of a real
Communistic government.
Confidence is not general among the
Communists in the Supreme Economic
Council. Their prejudice appears to
be directed against it rather than
against the Governments general
policy. M. Bogdanoff, chairman of the
Economic Council, and Leonid Kras-
sine, the Soviet trade representative
apparently are not generally popular
with the Communistic masses; and
failure to interest foreign seekers OF
concessions in leases and to get the
industries going is charged against
them. Moreover, they are regarded in
labor circles as being indifferent to
the workmen's interests.
There is much. clamor that trusts
whether under the Russian Government
or under the management of foreigners

M. Kalenine, the elected chairman.
and his executive committee OF thirty
two members. including Premier Lenine
and Leon Trotzky. the War Minister,
occupied seats of honor around a red
table.
Among the foreign Communists was J.
Carr, representing America. During his
speech to the Congress Carr said:
IT do not bring greetings from the
American Government but from millions
of oppressed people in America; not
from the politicians now comforting at
Washington behind locked doors as to
how they can down Soviet Russia.

walking the street with nowhere to sleep
and nothing to eat"
Carr declared the American workmen
were secretly organizing and would even-
tually overthrow capitalism and establish
a workmen's government.
In his address to the Congress Lenine
deended the Soviet Governments eco
nomic policy and mercilessly attacked
it's critics, especially the trade union
men, who, he declared, desired to con-
tinue to manage the industries. He said
men who had demonstrated no ability to
manage industries were demanding to be
retained in control. He challenged them
| to show qualifications to buy supplies
and keep factories going rather than to
write resolutions. ~ l.,

bought at any cost from sharp traders
and business must be revived. But, he
