Stone is not a clown in the regular
meaning Of the word. He is a pan
tomine actor. a real artist. He plays
upon one until tho memories of child
hood days return. He permits the
boy and the girl to live again in u
wonderful fairyland.
That is the secret of the universal
appeal of this man. He depicts a
fsiryland clown in many styles on the

so all the boys and girls in town
could see how big 1t was.
In addition to the stick Of candy
eight pounds of chocolates donated
by Dilling and Company to the
Elks, were sold in the Courthouse.
Proceeds raised from the sale Of
both totalled $50.
Hatchets will be in order when
the stick arrives at the Orphans

Mahan, 10, of 1916 Finley Ave, who
yesterday rescued Richard Tohmas
Mitchell, 8, son of Richard Mitchell,
1887 Tabor Ave, from the park
lagoon.
Richard, was plunged into the freez-
ing waters when ice which covered
the lagoon broke. He was unable to
swim. With the aid of a sled, the
Boy Scouts pulled Robert from the
water. Then they made him run
almost all the way home, to keep him
from catching cold.

Cause Of Upheaval.

He asserted in the same
memorandum that the con-
fiscation of the commercial
and industrial concerns Of
Russia was much less in the
nature Of a socialistic expert
ment than the result of mill
tary and political necessity.
His memorandum clearly
expresses the line Of Rus
sian thought that it was
never the intention Of the
government, at least in this
generation, to set up a pure
communistic structure, but
that what occurred was the
inevitable aftermath Of a
passing Of a eca d g n t
regime, represented by a
government so corrupt and
ineffective that the economic
life of its immense popula-
ton was already in throes
of death.
At the time Of the incep-
ton Of the "new policy" at
the beginning of 1921, the
decrease in the national
wealth Of Russia was fast
becoming catastrophe. Ag-
ricultural production had be-
come negligible. Cattle and
other live stock were van
ishing.
The production Of cotton
had dropped to a nominal
figure; flax and hemp, Rus
sia's greatest lines Of export,
had fallen to a degree that
spelled disaster. Means of
distribution were becoming
increasingly difficult.
Notwithstanding every
plan of acceleration, includ-
ing drastic compulsion and
the use Of the military arm
Of the state, the industrial
The Washington times., 1922-11-05
Government Policy

Peasants were permitted to
till the land with hired labor
for profit. The right to
keep and use freely precious
metals and gold coins was
declared.
The government announced
that its policy would be the
encouragement Of the old
co-operatives and agricul-
tural communes, but pro-
claimed the right of all citi-
zens to trade and labor
freely. The new economic
policy, after an internal
party struggle, was accepted
by the All-Russian Com
munist party.
The State Commercial
Bank was opened by the
government In Oct0Der, lSzl.
Laws were passed defining
the rights of foreign and
domestic investors.
Commercial, trading, in.
dustrial and agricultural cor
porations were legalized.
When l arrived in Russia,
early last August, it was diff
ficult to discover traces of a
communistic order. The rule
Of the, proletariat is much in
evidence. Officials, high
and low, consist mainly Of
former workers and peas
ants, led by intelligentsia
and the leaders who played
important parts in the work
and agitation which accom-
plished the overthrow Of
the Car.
Many Of the officers Of
the Soviet army are former
Czarist officers, so every
department Of government,
especially those charged

Communistic Idea.

The communistic princi-
pie as interpreted by the
Soviet government seems to
be From each individual in
accordance with his abilities;
to each in accordance with
his needs.
The new government was
and still is a government of
workers and peasants. In es-
tablishing communism, or
endeavoring to reach that
goal, everything was seized
by the government.
Land, railroads, public
utilities, urban and inter
urban electric railroads,
banks, industrial and busi-
ness establishments, the
plants and property of the
co-operatives, retail shops,
work shops, and even the
barber shops and market
stalls.
Theaters and places of
amusement were taken and
operated by government
agents. Confiscations and
acquisitions were made upon
the population for products,
directly and by compulsory
delivery to government de-
pots at fixed prices. Pro-
duction and distribution
were put in the hands of
the state.

PROSPERITY NEAR i'm RUSSIA, SAYS F. p. WAI1s

with enforcing the new eco
nomic policy, has its quota
Of ex-bankers or bureau
heads or former captains Of
industry of the old order.
The director of the State
Commercial Bank, now on a
salary Of what would ap-
proximate 500 a month in
gold, is the former president
of a bank having upward Of
1900 branches throughout
Russia prior to the revolu-
ton.
The chairman Of the cont
mittee on concessions now
was formerly the president
of the largest fire insurance
company in old Russia.
The director of the great
textile mill in Moscow at
present was previously its
general superintendent under
the old ownership.
Large buildings formerly
occupied by fashionable
schools, homes of the rich
and the like, which were
taken over by the govern
ment, still house their fami-
lies.
These, with residences,
large and small, are in charge
of a commandant, who is a
government official. No
fixed rental is charged.
The government computes
the amount necessary to
keep them in repair, the
cost of water, lighting and
fuel, and assesses the occu-
pants proportionately, based
upon the floor space used.

machine, after three years
of revolution, was not per-
forming it's task.
The failure to establish
pure communism upon the
ruins of the old state, has
many apologists in Russia.
They say that while the
new state was struggling
for economic life its best
work ers were constantly
fighting foreign foes and
counter-revolutionists upon
many fronts; that the coun-
try was isolated from the
outside world by the eco
nomic blockade of the en-
tente; that when the revolu-
ton was accomplished the
people of Russia already had
been brought to a state Of
impoverishment and chaos
by imperialistic and civil
wars.

State Bank Busy

The famous old Hermitage
is reopened under private
management. 1t in ;ludes a
fine comic opera, an up-to-
date picture show, indoor
and outdoor restaurants,
with prices which would
stagger the ordinary Ameri-
can. Prices of everything
are relatively higher than Ill
America, calculated in gold.
The state bank is the
busiest institution in Mos
cow, always crowded with
deposltors and traders in
foreign exchange. In the
past few months a bourse,
has sprung up-a sort OF
curb market.
From morning till night,
