] mont and no advantage to the Russian
! citizen, 1t means that the government
/ having eaten up the eggs that it ha,
taken away from the Russian people i:
returning them the shells. With which
! they may do MS they please.
Anything the Russian people now
produce will accrue to the credit OF
the government. Through it's system
OF rigorous controls there is no chance
that power can pc diverted into the
hands Of capitalist. and therefore
an anti government, class.
To-day capital is in the hands Of the
government. Production has been re
duced to a dangerous minimum, but
such production as there is can be
vigorously controlled. The time has
come 10 start the next stage in the
program Of the Soviet government. In
his program two policies stand out.
Individual initiative must be encour-
aged in the form of minor industry.
In major industry the assistance Of the
world must be secured in putting into
operation state-controlled industry.
Here is the explanation Of the new
shops opening on. the streets of Petro-
grad and Moscow and the smaller
cities, the little concessions granted to
small manufacturers, concessions in
metal work, textile, chemical. timber,
leather manufacture. employing few
men and vigorously under observation
Of the state. Here we have, too. An
eernments policy toward the rest OF
the world the efforts to interest for
e;gn capital, the tentatives toward
trade agreements, the willingness to
pay debts; above all, the anxiety to
hold conversations,
As tho Russian government faces
the world this spring its force is not
to be measured entirely by the present
resources of the country. On the basis
Of worthless values-gold reserve ex-
hausted; productive capacity reduced
to the lowest terms; metal supply 10
per cent Of normal; production Of pig
iron per cent Of normal; the number
Of. spindles in the textile industry
per cent Of pre-war normal; operating
l3com otives 10 per cent Of pre-war
normal; export 10 per cent Of import
Russia could offer few claims fer con-
sideration by busy peoples.
But behind these are other facts
that. for good or ill., the government
is firmly in the saddle; that it ha.
absolute control Of the natural re-
sources Of one Of the richest countries
in the world; that the Russian people
bitterly need to buy what other peo-
pie as bitterly need to sell. 1t is the
logic Of this situation that forces itself
on the minds of men everywhere who
have their hands on the control of
world commerce.

day, it was believed tho old fellow and
his shaggy haired pal were enjoying
their old age together.
But 1t recently came to the atten-
tion of officials of the Jersey City So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty TO
Animals that the Rest Farm had become
place of hard work for those de-
pending upon it for food. and Arthur
II. Mcdonald, one of tho society's
agents, investigated, with the result
that Bill and Snap are now comfort
ably housed in the Shelter House of
the S. P, C. A. in Jersey City.
"Standmiller and his dog were living
a hard life there" said Mr.. Mcdonald.
They were both in a weak condition.
Mr.. Standmiller was the only one there
to do the work and he was kept busy
caring for sixteen horses, fourteen
dogs, sixty chickens, ten goats, COW,
q calf and number Of cats.
Those in charge at the place tried
to keep him there, but while was
feeble as he is, climbed over the fence
and got, into my autofn obile which
brought him and the dog back to Jer-
sey City,
"We will make things pleasant for
him. There are odd bits of light work
to be done around the shelter and
guess he will be happy"
Mr.. Standmiller, who is past the
sixty mark, was at one time well-to-
do florist in Jersey City, but met with
business reverses more than twenty
years ago, For the. last eight years
until last May he lived in an abandoned
barn on the banks of the Hackensack
River in Jersey City with his dog.

Rats Used as Currency
Ina Lone Easter island
Inaccessible Bit of Land Con.
tains No Birds or Native
Animals

LONDON, Sept. {By Mail).-Prof.
Macmillan Brown, the noted Polynesian
authority, has returned from Easter
Island, which he describes as the most
inaccessible place in the world, though
1t is visited annually by Chilean
schooner, according to the Sydney cor
respondent of THE Daily Telegram" 3"
1t contains no land birds or native an
1mals, but once small grey rats were
used as currency and ultimately served
up as tftblts for the "aristocracy.
Professor Brown examined the famous
stone figures in human form. some
seventy feet in height, crowned with
huge stone hats. Below the platforms
upon which the images stand there
are chambers wherein are placed the
bleached bones of the dead. The pro-
fessor says there is unmistakahle evi-
dence of a sudden abandonment of the,
work, and believes that the tens Of
thousands of workmen who erected the
monuments were. the people of a by-
gone Pacific empire inhabiting the ring
Of archipelagoes Of which Easter ISL
and is the center.
The theory is that food was supplied
TO the workers by canoes sent from
neighboring islands by the masters.
who came to bury the great men OF
the race. A cataclysm submerged the
islands, cutting off the supplies. and
the worknlen then abandoned their du-
tses srdS pressed by hunger, became
cannibais, almost exterminating the
population of the islands.
