Vienna. May eff. on arriving TO-
day in Vienna. you cash Il S125 check,
you are a millionaire. But only for
a momen Alas. for the wealth of this
world it passes quickly. In other words,
easy come, easy go.
Here you are no longer multiplying
or dividing by two or five or 30, but
by thousands. You stagger back when
the taxi driver asks you for 1900
crowns as the price of the ride from
the station to Hotel Lets. See-how
many lire is that ?
At first. everything seems frightfully
expensive. A thousand crowns is the
unit of currency for all practical pur-
poses. And the 1000 crown notes
melt away like pennies at a peep show.
You begin to wonder anxiously whether
you ought not TO take the first train
for somewhere else, while a few hun
bred thousand of your million are still
left.
But then comes the realization that
after all, 1000 crowns is only Is cents
and a great relief o~verwheIms you.
When this conception has sunk into
our consciousness you begin to ex-

HeedIesness to Costly
If you proceed along on this basis,
Vienna is scarcely the cheapest place
in the world. A little heedlessness in
selecting your dishes and your dinner
may easily cost you SO. A little reck-
about taxis and you may be
several dollars poorer at the end of
the day on transportation alone.
The fact is, Vienna ways are a thing
of strange contrasts. Clothing, for in
is actually dearer than in Lon
don or New York. The better hotels
charge more for rooms than the best
hotels of Venice. But after a few days
you discover that there are always

CUSTOMS RULE
H|NDERS TRADE
WITH SOV|ETS
Business Can Be Done
if This Barrier
Is Removed.

ConstantinopIe. May 6.-American
and other business men TO whom the
correspondent talked during an eight
months stay just completed in Rus
STA declared that business could be
done with Russians provided the soviet
government would take down all its
customs barriers and permit free trade
with the outside world in the same
sense that it now permits free trade
inside Russia.
The problem which is interesting
business men all over the world seems
to hinge on the attitude of the COM
munists. Up to now they have insist
ed that all foreign trade must pass
through their hands. This is partly a
matter of politics and partly a mat
ter of personal compensation. They
wish TO keep all the power in their
hands in order to maintain themselves.
Faced by Problem.
The communists are in a decided di-
lemma. If they insist on controlling
foreign trade, they fear that Russia is
doomed. If they surrender their pow
err and Russia is saved. they believe
they will be slowly showed aside.
A second condition outlined to the
correspondent by these business men
of the old regime in Russia is a quick
and absolute return TO private prop
erty. There are widespread Indications
that, by the force of circumstances,
private property Will be recognized in
every part of Russia. A Moscow de-
cree TO that effect has been expected
for many months.
The question of guarantees is an
other point that is constantly raised in
connection with doing business with
soviet Russia. Old business men say
that this is one Of the chances that
foreigners must take if they wish to
do business with Russia. There is no
doubt mt the present time that the
officials are in a frame of mind
to try to uphold any guarantees they
give.

Paris, May 6.-French diplomacy has failed again.
Barthou had the opportunity to take a resolute stand at Genoa
to compel the Russian soviet to guarantee the integrity of pri-
vate property. Other delegates would have supported him. He
did not do SO. l wrote you last week that the soviet refusal eff
fectivey to guarantee private property would kill the Genoa
gathering economically. Events since then have borne this out.
The memorandum to the Observation-Disclosures for the ultima
tum originally planned-was drafted without great difficulty
until paragraph seven was reached.
This dealt with the restoration of private property. LLOYD
George, who is holding more and more private conversations
with the soviet delegates, frankly opposed any obligatory resti-
tuition which, nevertheless, was the only solution guaranteeing
their rights. Moreover, the propretors called in
the document former proprietors," which looks much like
recognizing that their titles have ceased to exist, merely oct
the vague promise of compensation" Which depends finally
upon the central. or even the local soviets' judgment. This is
why Belgium refused to sign the document. Our representa-
tives missed their opportunity to raise the issue then.

Pope Gives Support
Genoa has won recognition and
support under difficulties which
might have overwhelmed it. Unexpect-
ed support and encouragement came
from the pope. as well as from many
powerful leaders of European public
opinion.
On the other hand, there are those
in high places who want to wreck il.
France and Russia are the main OBJ
s~tacles. Poincare can see only Frances
ambitions and those only from the
most narrow point of view. The Rus
sian delegates exhibit the craft and
vile with which the world has been
familiar during the years of the Rus
sian horrors. They want loans and
discretion TO use their money as they
will. They are offered trading facili-
ties. Thus matters stand at the end
of this week.
Europe is faced with many problems.
If left unsOlved. we are left with sec
tionalism. But if Genoa is successful
will escape from its present chaos
and again tread the paths of peace.

London, May 6-The issues of future peace or war hang by
a very slender thread at the Genoa conference. There are two
conceptions competing there. One would continue the political
divisions of the war period. The other visualizes a United
States of Europe.
All of the circumstances have favored the former. Under
the inspiring leadership of Lloyd George a great fight is being
made for the latter. 1t was in the larger spirit that the con-
ference had been projected, but sectional differences had made
such progress before the conference met that the treaty of Ra-
pablo was impossible. 1t caused much perturbation at Genoa.
Afar off, the prime minister of France chimed in with some
rhetorical sabre thrusts in the course of which he said the
French delegates would be allowed to continue at Genoa only on
the condition that the allies refused to recognize the treaty.
