RUSSIANS CONSIDERING
PROPOSAL made FOR A
|tOAN FROM THE ALLIES
(By Associated Press,

Genia, April 28.-The conference
subcommission on Russian affairs
today had under consideration the
draft document of the allied powers
financial proposals to soviet Russia
as framed at yesterdays notable con-
ference in Mr.. Lloyd-George's villa.
The subcommission was expected to
approve the document, which ex-
plains exactly what the powers are
prepared to give and what they must
have in exchange.
In thus laying their cards on the
table, the allied leaders hope to put
an end to the present uncertainty
and clear up the Russian question,
the most important subject remain
ing before the conference. The docu-
ment is the result Of deliberations
participated in, besides the British
prime minister by NJ Barthou, for
France; M. Schanzer, for Italy; M
Jasper, for Belgium, and Baron Hay
ashi, for Japan.
An indication that the Russians
will insist on maintaining the prin-
ciple of naturalization of property ir
Russia--one of the most difficult an
giles of the situation, involving as il
does the ownership of properties
claimed by the nationals of the allies
and other countries-even to the ex-
tent of withdrawing from the confer
ence, was given in their statement of
last night.
Russia has not the least desire
for a rupture" said the statement in
part, "hut she is determined to safe
guard the pr;nc;rle gF severe IN
rights and the principle OF reciproc-
lity, which is the only possible basis
of a community of peoples and eco
nomic reconstruction"
While bending his main efforts to
ending the Russian deadlock Mr..
Lloyd-George is not neglecting his
plans for non-aggression pact, and
several tentative outlines of such a
document have been drafted. One of
these would provide an international
military force to protect weak ma
tions from aggressive neighbors, but
this is understood to have small
chance of adoption.

ChurLey Hong Hos Cast off
Customs of His Native Land

There's always something interesting
about foreigners, especially those OF the
far-away Orient, to the average Ameri-
can. The Chinese people do not easily
cast off the teachings, the customs and
habits Of their native land for those OF
America.

others in the Chinese and liquor Snug
Cling case 70 be called for tria! in the

exception 10 this rule as The Journal re-
porter who talked to him has ever seen.
Hong is IS years Of age. He has lived
IA American for over thirty years, and
has been a member Of the Methodist
church, ne says, for more than twenty
years.
He is as well-known perhaps as any
Chinese in this section, having operated
laundries at various times in Tallahassee,
Mariana and Eufaula. For 13 years he
lived In Mariana.
Perhaps you know DR.. Chalker, who
used to be pastor of the First Methodist
church here" Hong said in slightly hesi-
tant and broken English.
Yes" the reporter replied.
We'll" Hong continued, stin speaking
only slightly different from an American,
'he is my pastor, and a fine, well-edu-
Gated man-and a good man"
Hong has his church membership IN
Eufaula, where he operates steam laun-
dry.
A wife and two children in China call
Charley Hong husband and father. He
has returned to see them emily twice
since he came to America, the last time
nearly 10 years ago. Hong described the
terrific San Francisco earthquake and
fire yesterday He passed through there
on his way to China the last time he
