Russian Leaders
 Confident As To
 Country's Future

Moscow, Aug. 25.-Soviet Russian leaders are advancing reasons. easily understandable within Russia but probably difficult of comprehension abroad. as to why they believe Rus sia, after the coming harvest, can get along and show economic improve ment without the aid of foreign gov ernm tents.
 They make no secret that industri- ally the country can show very little life without huge foreign credits, but agricultural country. and that the re- al1irements of the Russian peasant are probably smaller than those of any other people except the Chinese at last 70 per cent of the oountry's population.
 An American. accustomed to the standard of living in the United condition were someone to tell him that 50.0oQ.o00 Russian people had no shoes.

 It is similar with most articles ID American civilization considers es- sentia1 to comfort. If the Russian peasant has plenty to eat-and above all other things he prefers black bread--and if he has a few rags to cover him and a hut to shelter him. he is as well off as he was before the war.
 It was only in late years under the mona archy that the growth of nanu- featuring within Russia was serious ly encouraged.

Yet, in spite of the pres ient need for people, we are neglect ing these areas and sending to a new territory hundreds of our able-bodied soldiers who will find it very difficult to justify their labor or the expendi- ture of the government.

Washington Farley Aids Japanese And
 American Relations

Tokio, Aug. 25 Americans who have been. resident in Japan for sev- era1 years noticed a very great differ ence in the difference paid the Ameri- can flag. flown during Secretary Den by's visit and the reception it would have received some months ago. This was particularly noticeable during a concert given by the band from the transport Henderson in Hibiya Park. Even a few months ago an American gathering of the kind would have been unpopular to say the least and in cidents'' would in all Likelihood have occurred. On this occasion, however, the flag and every American tune was cheered. American residents put this down to the fe.ct that suspicious have been wiped out by the Washington conference and the fact that Japan has been taken in as an equal with the other powers in a great inter national agreement. Americans who know Japan say the Japanese look upon the latter as great advance and nothing could induce them to give up the position thus gained.

Peking, Aug. 25 - China Is con fronted by two serious problems. one is to effect unification of the North and South.

 ''The Republic of China has been established for eleven years, but the country has not been united, the con stitution has not been respected, and the troops have not been organized These defects are apparent, and a remedy is needed. During the past few days opinions concerning the convocation of parliament vary greatly.

Chord in Russia; People

Observation-Disclosures Of the
Associated Press. .)-The 'sInterna-
tionale" is fast becoming a lost song
in Russia. Nobody wants to sing it.
1t is never heard in the streets Of
Moscow, or in the towns Of the prov
inces. When it is played by order in
public gatherings, the crowds and
audiences refuse to join in the sing

This was illustrated at the grand
opera recently, wnen Leon Trotzky,
the war minister, appeared with some
friends in box. The orchestra
struck UP the tune Of the revolution
and but a very few in the audience
rose, out Of respect.
Lately Isadora Duncan, after a pub
lie performance of her dances, asked
the audience to, join her in singing
the "Internationale." This seemed a
signal for the audience to leave.
Everybody began going out, as the or
chestra played and Miss Duncan was
