WHAT ABOUT RUSSIA?

Ninety-ninr out of every hundred
Americans oppose sovietism, rs they
have been told that it is practiced in
Russia, Americans have no patience
with a government that does not un-
dertake to furnish its citizens with
protection of life and property and to
guarantee freedom in the pursuit of
happiness.
Are conditions there as bad as we
have been told? Many people are
asking these questions in all earnest
ness.
The belief is growing that there
has been misrepresentation either
knowingly or unintentionally.
The truth will come out eventually
of course. and if the people Of the
world find that they have been de-
ceived they will resent it.

A STATE SURVEY

an oversupply Of hands to do the

sion, bills could be submitted for
constructive action.

satisfy the demands of business and
agriculture for protection against
foreign competition: soldier bonus,
how to pay II without running party
with the voters. or how not to pay It
without running party with the ex-sol-
dicrs.
Republicans, put into effect new
tax law with strong intimation that
within year taxes would again be
reduced. Now Secretary Mellon warns
OF nearly. d billion deficit next year
and the income tax payments have
fallen off alarmingly. The tax ques-
tion includes the bonus. for tnxes must

al least part of the bonus payment,
Hope Is now strong among the sensa :

through which four billions Of the
british bonds will be received In pay
ment for Britain's war debt with a
means to auickly realize sums with
which to pay the bonus. President
