RUSSIA IS FILLED
WITH SQUARE PEGS
IN ROUND HOLES
Most of SOviets Are Working
at Tasks for Which They
Are Untitled.

Petrograd. March 11,-Russia is a
land of lost motion. In consequence of
the social and economic upheaval most
of the city and town population are
trying to do something they are not
fitted for. Offices are filled with per-
sons who can scarcely read and write
and have no qualification for their
tasks but party membership.
Universities and higher schools are
crowded with students who are not
prepared for the courses they desire
ing as walters and doing manual labor
who are qualified to teach or do other
intellectual work.
General Upheaval
In the general shake-up nearly
everybody in Russia has been forced
out of his old zone. City people have
been forced into the country districts
and country folks have been forced into
the cities. especially since the famine
became SO serious.
Teachers have left the schools be-
cause they we're inadequately paid. or
not paid at all. Peasants have become
landlords but lack the machinery. ami
mails and funds necessary to put in
crops Families have been scattered
and are vainly looking for lost mem
bers.
Processes Slow
Individuals are having the same
trouble adapting themselves to the new
order that the government is and the
process is slow and" uncertain. The
new economic policy has upset the
plans of millions who had managed to
land themselves in berths where they
obtained good food allowances and
were able to exist without much sal
ary. With the cutting off of govern
ment free food from a large percent
age Of workers and government en-
ployes. wholesale readjustments have
been necessary.
Government departments have been
reduced in wholesale manner to re-
duce the governments food burden and
to lessen the drain on the printing
presses Office buildings and business
houses are being evacuated by the gov
ernment to make way for commercial
concerns which will pay taxes and helm
swell the governments income. All
persons are to pay rent hereafter.
Many have no money and must get INTO
less expensive quarters.
Every Day Moving Day
Every day seems to be moving day
now in the Russian cities. Sedges
drawn by men and women are hauling
furniture to the markets or to new
quarters Government vans are haul
ing office equipment.
Everything is in state of flux and
the public is quizzically asking what
the next developments will be in the
gradual change back to capitalism.

INTERN CRIMINALS

NEW SWEDISH PLAN
Government Committee Max
ing Study Of Best Way to
Regenerate Outcasts.

Stockholm, March 11.-Habitual
criminals in Sweden would be IN
termed until they are cured of their
criminal tendencies under plan rec
commended by a special government
committee.
The committee has been making an
extensive study of the best means OF
protecting society from such undesir-
ahles as well as from degenerates,
mentally diseased, epileptics and moral
offenders.
1t recommends the establishment Of
special institutions in which TO keep
habitual criminals until they arc re
stored to normal. Many Swedish legal
experts favor the committees plan.
The head Of the Swedish prison
board has further recommended that
effective means be taken 10 prevent
all such undesirables from having
children. He says this is in line with
efforts which have been made in GER
tain parts of the United States.
Chief inspectors of hospitals and
homes for INDECENT have sponsored a
bill in the riksdag which provides that

turned to ,-;ink after treatment in
'asylums for inebriates shall be sent TO
special warehouses; for indefinite pc
riods.

Former French High Commissioner
to America.

Special cab.s to The Great Falls Tribune

Paris, March 1.-THE statement sof
the reparations committee made pub
lie this week should be of great inter
est to America, for this dry document
shows the reason for that spirit in
France for which part of the AmerI-
can press has criticized us so freely.
What SAYS the commission! With
out counting the restitution of objects
stolen by the German armles-enumer-
ated in article 23S of the treaty
Germany up to the end of 1921 had
disbursed in cash and kind roughly s.
500. 900. 600. but this includes about
5000, 600 900 as repayments for food
stuffs advanced in Germany after the
armistice, and $6O0,0O0,0OO represents
bills as yet unliquidated.
Considering Belgium's priority
claims, when the liquidation of build
ings is completed, France will have re-
ceived for occupation and reparations
S625. 900. 900. But meanwhile France
has spent for reconstruction and PEN
sions SO.OOO.O 100000 francs, or $16.-
ONlO. 900, 900, reckoning exchange at par
which is legitimate since reparations
are in gold marks.
Thus in two years Germany has paid
France 3S per cent of what France
spent in Germany's stead. Certain
American newspapers say we are never
satisfied. I wonder if they would be
in similar circumstances.
And / wonder something else. You
Americans have read John Maynard
KEYNES book showing that Germany is
incapable of paying. The foregoing
figures show that Germany can pay.
That is the first point to remember.
Next to remember is the fact that Ger
many made these payments in circum
stances which Ave her a maxim,en op-
portunity to dodge.
Whatever one thinks of the inter
allied conferences which filled 1920
and 1921 with their contradictions, you
will grant this constant calling into
question of the treaty's clauses. There
fore it is quite legitimate to suppose
that different policy would have pro-
duced better results.
We are dissatisfied with ourselves

1900 Bodies Leave Brest Completing Shipment
of 45,O25 Americans From Foreign
Battlefields.

Paris, March 1.-THE work Of re-
turning to the United States the bod
les of American soldiers who died in

Agents Of that service will now go
to England and assemble 81 American
bodies destined for shipment to Amer
lea. These were American soldiers
who died in widely scattered parts OF
ireland, Scotland, Wales and England.
Five hundred other bodies Of Ameri-
cans whose relatives have decided to
leave them in England, will be concen-
trated in a beautiful little permanent
cemetery at Brookwood, Surrey, Eng
land. the British government having
given the site. This work will be
completed by July.
An extensive scheme of beautifica-
ton has been developed by special
fine arts commission for the four Gem
eteres in France which are to be the
permanent resting places OF nearly
10000 Americans who fell in the world
war. Original plans called for the ex
pendture of nearly $3,O0O,OOO but in
the interest of government economy
this sum has been reduced to about
81 100000.
Work will begin Immediately after
this appropriation is made by congress.
Colonel II. +. Rethers, who has been
in charge of the graves registration
work, probably will direct the work.

that instead Of requiring the name of

Here, they are told, is the for

spared in the production. "If there
is one thing the American film
public won't tolerate it is cheap

some ways, they are quick to

Plenty of sentiment-sIathers Of

be offset by moments of laughter
or of those tender m0rseIs of arti-
fice-"such as kittens in a basket,
puppies biting at ball of Worsted.
and sows with ltters of young
pigs-scenes that are known in
America as human touches"
The American pubiic-so the
English producer is informed
does not want narrowing stories
about the sufferings Of "impoyer-

action to such themes Is 'Why
don't they get a iob?" Nor does
it care TO hear about marriages
frustrated by differences in So
ciaI degrees-for it can't COM

Above all. the producer who
would beguiIe the American audi

legitimate child. There are no H.
legitimate children in the pure
American movie drama. And even
in some states. there is a prejudice
against impending maternity, how
ever legitimate it may be.

rectness for our censorship laws.

Paris, March 11.-An expectation,
apparently based on information from
Washington, prevails here that Presi-
dent Harding will call an international
trade conference soon after the affair
at Genoa. provided the results of the
latter warrant it.
The American attitude is believed
here to be:
Let European nations reach an un-
derstanding among themselves, first
clearing away many points of differ
ence which do not concern America
and then America will be willing to
discuss the ways and means to world
wide trade resumption.
1t is also declared that meanwhile
President Harding intends consulting
South American countries and that
this is why South America was not in
vited to the Genoa conference.
Comedies With Policy.
This Interpretation seems to coincide
with the American policy of regional
understanding first, with the world
wide agreement afterWard.
There has been too much emphasis
thus far on imaginary obstacles to
achievement at Genoa. Among these
is the dc Jufe recognition oL tHe NUS
sian soviet government. But the very
fact that all critics insist on guaran-
ices against de iure recognition shows
that this war is merely one of words.
for it is admitted that for practical
reasons there is no difference between
de jure right and de facto. in fact.
As for President Poincare's insist
ence upon the inviolabiiity of the peace
treaties and the reparations decisions
this must be considered simply as
form, for the treaties inviolability has
been proclaimed loudly every time they
have been amended at the successive
conferences of the last two years.
Mo Trouble to Amend.
Inviolability means unamendabillty,
and if amendments seem necessary or
opportune it is no trouble to find
convenient formula justifying them. As
indicating to what extent conclllatory
spirit is growing. it is noteworthy that
during the past it has been widely re
ported that NJ. Caichin, the parlla-
tInentary 2mmunist leader, now in
Russia, in mission for Peincare.
The communists deny this, but unques-
tionably there is some understanding
between Poincare and the communists,
for the latter's attacks on the chamber
Of deputies, at first bitter and violent
have practically ceased.

The idea of a national or center
party was launched some time ago by
Winston Churchill and indorsed by
Lloyd George, who expected to give
the lead in, that direction at the meet
ing arranged for him upon his return
from Cannes. But by that time the
Irish and labor excesses had appar-
emily excited apprehensions in the
country. On the strength of this, Sir
George Younger, director of the con-
servative party machine. had conceived
the idea of united conservative party,
dispensing with Lloyd George altogeth
er and assuming the reins of govern
ment.
Whereupon. as temporary meas
ure Of compromise. both the liberal and
conservative coalitionists agreed each
to separately run their own candidates
at the election, provided only that each
side should keep out Of the others
