PUT RUSSIA ON SOUND BASIS
Trying to Put Their Own Financial
Affairs In Better Shape.

Moscow-While its delegation at
Genoa is trying to reach an agreement
with the European powers for econo.
mic aid for Soviet Russia, the Bolshe.
vik government is seeking to bring its
financial and other affairs to a sound.
er basis by work at home.
The all-Russian Communist party
congress has been the preliminary
battle field on which this internal
struggle to bring order out of chaos
in Russia's finances has been fought.
Against the few remaining members
of the Communist party who still cling
to the idea that money should be eli
minated, NJ. Sokolnikoff, assistant to
the commissar of finance, supported by
the majority, carried his point that a
sound monetary system for Soviet
Russia can be gained only by curtail.
ing the issue of paper money, on one
hand, and by collecting taxes, to bring
the money back to the government, on
the other.

WILL PAY FOR RECOGNITION
Restoration Of Property Is Promised
by sIavs If Agreement Reached.

Genoa-H the Russians are grant
ed recognition de jure and adequate
financial help, they state in their re-
ply submitted to the Entente, they
are willing to admit Russia's war
and pre-war debts, waive their coun-
ter.claims and restore the use of ma
tionalized property to it's former own
ers or satisfy the claims of foreigners
in cases where the property cannot
be restored.
AS justifying their contention that
the Allies could not as matter of
right demand compensation for prop
erty, the Russians cite the abolition Of
slavery in the United States, where
neither Americans nor foreigners were
compensated. They also cite the
adoption of prohibition in America as
a case where no compensation was
given to the producer of alcoholic
drinks.

the witness said, have been ready for
months under the lease, which Mr..
Brent said, was signed by Newton D.

said, adding the indications were that
100000 tons would be hauled this

HALTED BY 3 PER CENT LAW
Only Small Fraction Of Allotted Num-
Der Entered Country.

Washington-As aresult of the re.
striction of immigration by the three
per cent law, which is to be extended
for another year at least, and of the
continued departure of aliens, the in
crease of the population of the United
States by immigration has been prac-
tically halted.
Between July 1, 1921 and Feb. 2s
last 171,5S7 European immigrants
were admitted to this country but 1885,
173 departed, leaving net addition to
the population of only 32,414.
The law limiting immigration to
per cent of the number of each ma
tionality in the United States in 1910
was devised to halt the exodus of
southern and eastern European to
America while leaving the bars down
practically for immigrants of the
Nordic stock from northern and west
ern Europe.

FARM LABOR NEEDED IN N. D.
The Supply Of Experienced Farm La.
Dor Is Scarce.

Fargo, N. D.-There is a keen de.
mand for experienced farm labor, with
practically no supply in this city, ac-
cording to Fl. B. Fuller, secretary of
the North Dakota Farm Bureau fedes-
alton.
There is demand for experienced
farm labor in this state which should
be attractive for many men who are
seeking employment in larger cities"
said Mr.. Fuller. "Of course, the de-
mand for experienced men, closes the
door to some who are out of employ
ment"
Farmers are paying $1.5O day,
but are not paying transportation, as
formerly. A few critters are holding
out for $50 per month, but it is not
expected that this figure will be
reached.
