 Soviet Government
By Associated Press

Washington, January 22.-Presi- dent Samuel Gompers of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor has followed up his recent attack on the proposal to have the United States enter the world economic conference at Genoa, along with Russia, by an editorial in the forthcoming issue of the Ameri- can Federationist, official organ of the federation, which declares that mo worse blunder could be made than to send American delegates to Genoa.
 Acceptance of the invitation to join the conference by the United States his editorial asserts. would be a pronouncement that would ga throughout the world that Lenine and Trotsky are to be recognized. Can we hope to enter into a period of higher international relations by talk ing the hand of monsters who boast that they rule by terror and blood shed?" MT. Gompers asked.
 ITO recognize the Lenine despot- ism at this time would be to con found the situation and still further postpone the time when recognition of a government based on free ex- pression of the people may be estab- lislhed," he added. He also character. tkeo the duuilSSion Ol the RuSSlar zoyernment to the conference as in- dic'ating "the alliance of reactionary capital and the soviets," brought about "by international financiers and politicians" who want conces- sions of Russian raw materials. The boIshevik regime, he asserted, Twas kdis integrating faster than is gener- all.y known with a life which could D only prolonged by the political

WSCOUNT BRYCE
 DIES AT S|DMOUTH
Former English Ambassador Was Remarkable Student
 of American Life
By Associated Press

London, January 22.-viscount Bryce died at sidmouth today.
 The end came peacefully and some what suddenly. Viscount Bryce had been staying in sidmouth for the last three weeks and was extremely energetic to the last.
 As man of letters and a publicist viscount Bryce was a world figure. Outside of his own country he was best known in the United States, where since the early eighties his in- terests had so largely centered that he was sometimes styled an English Yankee" One remarkable thing re- peatedly said of him was that he knew America better than most Americans. His History of the American Commonwealth" has been a standard text book in the schools of the United States for the past gen eration-providing the spectacle of a foreigner instructing Americans in the workings and structure of their own life and laws, as de Tocqueville had done to some extent years pre- viously In his Democracy in Amer ica."
 Through his book. through in- numerable addresses in this country, and through five years service as the British ambassador in Washington. Viscount Bryce became one of the most notable human links in the chain of friendly relations between the United States and Great Britain. The extent to which he made his person ality felt Is explained In part by the fact that while he was scholar and statesman of the highest rank he all ways could be found willing to meet people and to discuss publicly and in a friendly way topics of national. and international interest
 varied AchievemeBtr
 He was a man of varied achieve ments, and mere reference to his in- terest In America does not by any means sum up his remarkable career. He was called "the most versatile living Englishman," which would be true, says one biographer, had he not q father and Irish mother, and educated in Glasgow, whence he went to Ox- ford. He was born in Belfast, May 10, 1888: his father being the Rev. James Bryce of Glasgow. clergy man of the established church. and his mother, Margaret (Young) Bryce of County Antrim. Ireland. He was educated In the high school and Uni versity of Glasgow and subsequently gained scholarship at Oxford, from which he obtained his B. A. degree In 1862 and his D. c. l.. in 1870. He aft erwards added to his honors degrees in many of the most famous universi- ties in the world.
 In 1Ss" he was appointed under secretary of state for foreign affairs: he served as chancellor for the Duchy of Lancaster which gave him sea in the Gladstone cabinet; and he was president of the board of trade in the Rosebery government. With the lib- erals in power again in 1906, MT. Bryce was made chief secretary for Ireland, a post for which he was pre- eminently fitted, as he always had been friend to Ireland and an ex- ponent of home rule. After holding

GOLD SHOULD BE RED|STR|bUTED,
 AMER|CAFEE
United States Section of Inter- American Commission lS- sues Statement on Eco-
 homie Conditions
By Associated Prcss

Washington, January 22.-The 6 United States feels 1t to be to its own interest that the surplus stock of gold in the country should be re- distributed and utilized through in- vestment in foreign channels, accord ing to statement on the effect of exchanges on inter-American com merce made public tonight by the United States section of tho inter American high commission.
 The statement expressed the views of Ame,1can section e. which Seere- tary Hoover is chairman. on the in- ternational exchange situation for can sections of the commission, the interchange of views having been ar- ranged after meeting of all the na- tional sections in their various capi- tals last month.
 In its statement the American sec ton discussed tho exchange situation from the European standpoint as well as from the inter-American and United States angle.
 situation Unfortunate
 In this country. the statement oo- ciared, the situation was unfortunate because of the high premium on American exchange has attracted the gold flow of the world, resulting in overstocking beyond currency needs and surplus earning no interest and serving no useful purpose.
 The United States" the statement said. feels 1t to be to its own inter- est that this gold should be utilized in foreign channels and also that t be re6iStributed. From ar economic point of view, the method of utiliza- ton Is by the investment of capital abroad. The method of redistribu- tion should be through loans for re- productive enterprise and by specific gold loans to countries which are In position to undertake the reorgani- zation of their currencies on A gold basis. The United States section re- gards 1t as mutually desirable and profitable that the capital invest ments should be made in the other American republics where national credits rest squarely on stability of the social order."
 Exchange Situation
 Responsibility for the disordered
 
 Outed by the statement to dislocations still existing in the whole interna- tional economic structure and the de- engagements of the International price structure. The exchange situation. the American section asserted, would improve as the worlds economic re- covery, especially in Europe, goes on and particularly as price distortions disappear.
 It Is impossible. the statement de- clared, to disassociate inter American n exchange relations from the European relations, as the European American business fabric consists of a triangle one point resting in Europe and the other two in North and South Ameri- ca" So long as the European point of the economic triangle remains un- stable, the statement declared, sta bilization of inter-American exchange will be difficult.
