non -Rolshevists who have less
knowledge of the ineff1ciency of gov

Premier Lenine has repeatedly
stressed the .desirability of attracting
back to Russia the 1000 900 Russians
who have fed to other countries and
represent the cream OF Russian in
telligence. The engineers. scientists,
bankers, teachers and merchants are
greatly needed.
Let's. Esthonians and Lithuanians
played large part in the business
life of old Russia. They had en-
loyed the benefits of both Swedish
and German culture. Many of them
are highly trained specialists and
managers and directors Of various
enterprises. But they have nearly
all left dlsorganized Russia and taken
up residence in the new Baltic states.
Baltic merchants will not re-enter
trade in Russia for they lack conf

Manufacturers are unwilling to re-
sumo their old work under govern
ment concessions. Even property
owners, or rather former property
owners. are unwilling to take back
their apartment houses and hotels
under the proposed concession plan.
Consequently the new economic poll

Chaulmoogra Oil
Is Wiping Out Leper
Colony of MOlOkai

Honolulu, T. H., Dec. 16-(By MaiD
The leper settlement on the Island
of Molokai contains fewer patients
than at any time in the past so years.
according to the statement of j. d.
McVeigh, superintendent of the colo
ny, on a recent visit here. The de-
crease, he said, was due to the treat
ments with the chaulmoogra oil spe-
cific evolved by DR.. A. l.. Dean. pres
ident. of the University of Hawaii.
ractically all of the 4S5 patients at
the colony now are taking the Dean
treatment, Mr.. McVeigh stated. In
commenting upon the popular belief
that the children of lepers are affiict-
ed with the disease, Mr.. McNeigh.
who has been superintendent of the
Molokai settlement for many years.
said that both mentally. and physi-
cally, the children of leprous parents
measure up as well, if not better.
than those of healthy parents"
'These children. are not only nor
NAL, but they also have the advant-
age Of the training that is given in
, the splendidly conducted homes for
the children of lepers throughout the
world"
Permission to purchase 600 pounds
of chaulmoOgra OIL from which the
Dean specific is derived, has been
given by Governor Wallace r. Far
rington to DR.. F. F.. Trotter, president
of the Territorial Board of Health, in
order that the territorys supply
might not be exhausted. DR.. Trotter.
in letter. to the governor. pointed
out that DR.. Heiser OF the Rockefel-
! Ter Foundation announced recently
that the Philippines government
would purchase three tons of the oil
and that this would virtually con-
sumo the world supply
The Territorial Board of Agricul-
tnre has established q chaulmoOgra
plantation at WaiahOle. this island,
where several thousand saplings
have been planted, in order that the
increasing demand for the oil may be
satisfied.
