Though Miss Ruth Stonehouse
well known screen star, has carved
herself niche in the movie hall OF

the same chic smile and charming

No. l Of the economic conference. a
pact or undertaking that no nation

roa, April l2.-(By A. P.)-The
E--san soviet delegation to the eco

amazed at the sweeping political
changes in the soviet government
suggested in the report of the allied
experts on Russia, now before the
subcommission entrusted with formu-
lating plans for Russian reconstrue-
ton.
Lenine. Trotzky, Chitcherin and
other of the bolshevik leaders have
repeatedly said that the recognition
of Russias old debts would be a sub.
ject for negotiations looking toward
the recognition of the soviet republic.
The demands embodied in the report
for general recognition Of the rights
of personal property and better pro-
lection for foreigners contemplate
changes in the soviet government,
however, which would, in the opinion
of the Russian delegation. as express
cd today, wipe out communism ut.

the Russian government.
