NPP'AASOo W sANAL
FIRST QUESTION. Just what does
Russia propose to do with the finan-
cfal assistance she is asking from
the rest OF the world, and how will
1t change the living and business
conditions in Russia?
ANSWER. The billions OF dollars
spent on intervention In Russia, and
which kept Russia in a state of civil
war for four years. caused enormous
damage to Russia's economic ma
chinery. Russia asks for loans ex-
clusively for purposes of reconstruc-
ton; for the restoration OF her in
dustries, her transportation systems,
her agriculture.
SECOND QUESTION. Does the central
Soviet Government in Moscow sup
port the Chita Soviet Government
IN its latitude toward Japan, and
what relation does the central Soviet
Government at Moscow consider
that it bears to Chita and the other
Soviet republics in Siberia d else
where?
ANSWER. The Far Eastern Repub-
III Va "iiCit Tie dPlldi lS 1Hlld,
Is not Soviet republic, but a State
with parliamentary system OF
government. The interests of the
republic, as regards its foreign poll
icy, coincide completely with those
OF the Russian Government, which
is prepared to go any length in pro-
tecting the Near Eastern democracy
against the attempts Of the Japa-
nese imperialists to turn it into an
other Corea. Unless Japan aban-
dons this idea she will have to look
forward to serious complications
with Russia in the near future.
THIRD QUESTION. How do you rec
oncile Russia's course in seeking
financial aid from capitalistic coun-
tries with the original principles of
the Soviet Government, which in
cluded general war against capi-
talism: and has Ruseia's course at
the Genoa conference been consist
ent with these principles?
ANSWER. We are still acting upon
our original principles. On the very
first day the Soviet Government was
called to power by the Congress Of
Soviets it launched an appeal for
general peace to all the nations and
governments Of the world. Our pol
icy has been patiently and consist
eiftly pacific But since Russia be-
came an industrial country IL has
been largely dependents; always.
Upon the investment of foreign cap
ital. We do not ask for free gifts
but for investments and credits
upon a commercial basis.
FOURTH QUESTION. Despite the
fact that America is not participat-
ing in the Genoa arrangements. VIII
Russia be disposed to offer any
special encouragement to American
investors?
ANSWER. We hold the opinion that
American capital is capable of fully
availng itself Of the great opportu-
mites which the vast. undeveloped
resources of Russia open to foreign
enterprise.
FIFTH QUESTION. How Is the con-
tinued refusal of the American Gov
ernment to recognize the Soviet
Government regarded in Russia. and
Go you consider that the terms that
are now being offered to the Russian
delegation at Genoa meet the condi-
tions laid down by Secretary Hughes
sufficiently to warrant American
recognition?
ANSWER. Irrespective Of any ac-
.;o,, ,,hicb u,au taken nv orr dele
The New York herald., 1922-05-08

cation, we believe that the new Rus
sian legislation provides the guar
antics stipulated for by the Arneri-
can Government.
SIXTH QUESTION. With the United
States out OF the Genoa conference,
and It's Government still refusing
officially to recognize the Soviet
Government, is the Soviet Govern
mcnt disposed to recognize the con-
cessions and interests previously
held in Russia by American capital.
and to regard them as upon an
equal footing with the concessions
and interests held by nationals of
the governments now participating
at Genoa?
ANSWER. The settlement OF this
question presupposes. Of course,
preliminary negotiations with the
American Government.
SEVENTH QUESTION. What is the
size OF Russia's army to-day, and
how do you justify IL: what has
become of Gen. Brusilloff. and what
Is his present status with the Rus
sian Government?
ANSWER. The Russian army is
about one and a half million strong
in population Of 130.000.000 Rus
sia Is extremely anxious, however,
to reduce 1t to minimum and grad
ually to dispense with it altogether
by the adoption OF militia system.
provided that general disarmament
is accepted by the other Powers. AS
for Gen. Brusilloff. he is a stanch
supporter of the Soviet Government.
and at present he is holding the
position of member of the Supreme
War Council.
EIGHTH QUESTION. Is the Treaty
of Rapallo TO be regarded as a
German Russian alliance-meaning
that the two nations will work to-
gether politically in the solution of
European problems-and can it be
taken to imply an eventual military
alliance of the two nations?
ANSWER. The Treaty of Rapallo is
an economic agreement based upon
the principle of reciprocity which, so
far, has been denied to us by the
other Powers. All reports about a
military alliance are fabricated by
those who. after the dissipation Of
the myth of Russian militarism
which was paraded at the Washing
ton conference, want to justify their
armaments by new phantom.
NINTH QUESTION. What is Russia's
present attitude toward Turkey and
toward the arrangements made by
the Allies with respect TO Turkey;
and has the Soviet Government def
nitely renounced the old Russian
aspirations regarding Constantinople
and a suzerainty over Turkey?
ANSWER Russia's relations with
Turkey are regulated by treaty Of
friendship whereby Russia volun-
tarily renounces all claims due the
Czarist Government from Turkey.
Turkey is waging the Same defen-
sive struggle against foreign inter-
vention that was forced upon Rus
sia. and the two Governments have
a wide range of common interests.
In the Russo Turkish treaty Con-
stantinople is recognized as the cap
ital of Turkey.
TENTH QUESTION. rs II fact that
there is a divergence of view be-
tween Trotzky and Lenine with re-
gard TO the application OF the origi-
nal Soviet program?
ANSWER. These reports arc en-
tirely baseless.

Former Alma Man IS
Kidndpper's Victim

Claude II. Eckles, student in Al
ma College for the past two years, a
strike-breaker in the LaJunta, Colo
RADIO, yards of the Santa Fe railroad,
long familiar with the kind of kid
mapping that is INDUCED in by col
lege students, got taste of the real
thing at La Junta, when he became
the victim Of a real case of kidnap-
ping, the kidnappers being striking
shopmen who took the young man
some miles out of the city, headed
him in the general direction of Pixies
Peak, ninety miles away, and told
him to beat it,"
When the sheriff's office at La
Junta heard of the affair an auto
mobile was sent for Eckles, who was
located a number of miles from La
Junta "hittin' it up" He was re-
turned to La Junta, the names of a
number of kidnappers learned and
warrants were sworn for their arrest.

tentacles stream away from it's body and squirm around like bunch of snakes. On the bottom of each ten tacle in a row of suckers close to gether. When they touch anything they hold it with grip difficult to shake off. When a native fishing along the beach with a spear, runs into one and gets tangled up, he reaches down and bites him between the eyes. This is the approved native method of killing the varmint, but it would have its disadvantages to a person with a tender heart and a weak stomach. They are very, very uninviting looking thing for one to bite. The natives usually fish with a glass bottomed box, which they car ry with sling over their shoulder, the bottom resting on the water af- fording them a view under water. They use spear with wonderful ac- curacy and dexterity. The main fish ing, however, is done by Japanese fishermen in boats. The Japs bring in the fish, but the Chinaman is the retail merchant and sells them.
 The hula hula girl is not so much in evidence as one is led to believe by propaganda sent out to lure the tourist. The dance is mainly main tained by few professionals and special entertainments are given at so much per for the benefit of tourists. There is general complaint too that there are few old-time Hawaiian musicians left. As fast as they de- velop, they are hired for tours on the mainland. Jazz seems to be as pop ular here as in the states.
 One thing struck me as strange was that gasoline here costs 25 cents per gallon, while in Arizona it costs from 33 to 35 cents. presume, how ever, this difference is on account of freight rates.
 Prohibition over here is being set led just as rapidly as it is in the states. Many who never drank be- fore have become curious as to what

the 18th amendment was all about. If you have money you have entertain ment. Only it's okelehau and saki in- stead of hooch and white mule. They bite, kick and scratch just the same. Arrests and raids are made daily.
 Just as a P. S. to this rambling story we might mention that on the island of Kauai they have a young Grand Canyon which resembles the Grand Canyon of Arizona very much. It is 5000 feet deep, mile in width, covering about 25 square miles. The coloring and formation is much like that of Grand Canyon.
 They also have the Barking Sands" on the island. When you walk on this bank of dry sand it emits sound like the barking of a dog. If you slide down a hill over this sand it emits a sound like the barking of a persons anatomy. We have our bark ing trees, so let lem have thelr bark ing sand. If I hadn't such a bad cold I'd bring home a few barks of this sand for my old frieid "Bosco" and let him join in a gritty chorus with it. Just to tease the Padre.

 The soft Hawaiian music blends with the soft mellow voices of the native. Nearly every evening . bunch drives around in an auto sere- nading the town, stopping now and then in front of different hotels for short time. They do not expect money for it, but do it just for the love of it. The city of Honolulu sup ports a band of over forty pieces at cost of several thousand dollars per year. Regular appropriations are made for it from city funds. It is under the leadership of competent musician and it's movements are di- rected by the mayor. The band has a regular schedule of concerts during the week at the different parks and hotels. It was originated many years ago by one of the kings and is called the Royal Hawaiian band. They sell dom strike bum note and play for both parties.

INGENIOUS washinoton Youth.

One small Western boy has solved
the tisherman's problem of getting
plenty of fishwOrms without digging
for them. He cOaXes them forth from
their hiding places through the magic
of electricity. This lad, Joe Siegfried
of Kennewich, Wash, though only ten
wears old, has devised with little
help from his father special appa-
ratus that Is the champion tishwOrm
coaXer and extractor. The apparatus
consists of telephone magnetic, which
delivers current at 50 to 90 volts. This
magnetic is connected to two heavy
wires or electrodes set in the ground
six or eight inches deep and fifteen to
eighteen inches apart When the mag
neto is operated the current flows be-
tween the electrodes, and many
worms in the vicinity receive a sensa-
ton which causes them to hurry to
the surface at full speed. Joe has
counted as many as fifteen worms
coming out at one time. He has had
inquiries as to the charge for worms
if purchased by the gallon for medici-
nal purposes, but his school work
keeps him too busy, and he only uses
the apparatus for furnishing fish bait
to his many young friends.
