here is something very human in the attitude
sot the Russian authorities toward questions Of
Ihiiance. Last November the Soviet finance depart
Ement has arranged figures to show that the budget
balanced except for a triAing shortage of two hun
sdred million gold rubles. In order to cover this de-
iicit the simple sxpedient was adopted of printing
ttofty-srx billion paper rubles. This was quite salts.
Iiaetto o as far as it went. But it appeared that there
had been some oversight, and on checking up it was
sion md that there was still a deficit of eight hundred
million gold, rubles. The more the fnanc;ers 6g-
tired, the deeper into the hole they went. Then. ;n-
sasn.s..eh as calculations and computation led to no
satisfactory results, it was decided to quit figuring
md gct along without any budget whatever.

The people went to the polls
last Tuesday and rendered q
verdict on the Harding admins
tration. This does not mean
that it is merely an expression
of the attitude of the people
toward the easy-xoing golf
player Of the White House
rather, it will be q referendum
| on the acts and omissions Of the
president, his cabinet. the sem
ate and house.
Perhups nothing stands out
with greater clearness than the
deception pracliced towards the
veterans of the world war. who
were led to believe in every way
that they would receive ADJUST
ed compensation with view to
Irepaying them in small measure
| for the losses they suffered by
reason of having been in the
service for the most critical
period of their lives.
Surely they realize by this
time that they have no hope Of
receiving this compensation 20
long as Harding is in thu Whits
House. Had there been a re-
