not selling their live stock cheaply.

RUSSIAN PROVINCE

Samara, One of Provinces
Suffering Most Severely
From Famine, in Good Shape
By Associated Press.

SAHARA. Russia. April H.
(By MaiD-There is ample livestock
in Samara province TO work the
fields and harvest the crop OF 1922.
despite the fact that It suffered most
severely from famine. The rugged,
shaggy, little horses, great, grooming
camels and slow moving oxen OF the
famine regions have withstood the
winters hunger as well or even bet
ter than the sturdy peasants.
In isolated spots totally lacking IN
food the livestock as well as the
people has suffered tremendous NOR
tally. Thousands of draft animals
have fallen dead in the road while
hauling precious food over the
SHOWS to the village. Others have
been slaughtered for food but by far
the great proportion have gone
through the winter and now. with
green pastures only a month or SO
of. are in fair shape for work.
NJ. Ryazonoff. Commissar for
Agriculture OF Samara province
says there are still more than 200,
900 head Of workable livestock left
or 80 per cent Of those available in
1921
Peasants who have seen members
OF thir own families and neighbors
die OF hunger have saved their
camels, horses and oxen. Except In
villages where starvation knew nc
bounds. they have not killed their
beasts. even when they knew that
a few pounds of horse flesh might
mean a weeks life TO themselves.
Horses were more precious than
humans. Without livestock no food
could be brought from the railways
and the seed for the next years crop
would lie useless in the box cars far

Mau)-sweden's complete future re-
covery from a series Of painful
operations for postwar Ills Is fore
cast In the official economic report
OF the Swedish Foreign Office Com

It's principal note OF optimism IS the
Swedish exchange. After a year and
a half Of defatiOn and international
liquidation still under way. the Swe-

The government experts find that
the greatest obstacles 10 economic
recovery lie IN the competition OF
countries with deprecated currency
and IN the fact that wages have not
yet been sufficiently reduced Coun-
tries with low exchange can dump
goods in Sweden at prices against
which Swedish manufacturers can
not compete. Likewise, IN the for
elgn markets. Sweden IS severely
handicapped because OF her high ex-
change rate.
The report states that there is a
strong tendency toward revival IN
many lines OF industry. but that the
natural process OF building up IS de-
Iayed by unsettled conditions in Cen
traI and Eastern Europe, the. none
tsry troubles and the uncompleted
process of wage adjustment.

Ing the second half OF 1921, and the
first quarter Of this year there was
observed a slight increase in the &C

and paper.
Although great interest haE been
shown in an early return 20 the gold
standard. the Foreign Office reports

can dollar as basis of parity as sug-
gested by some financial experts

Sweden is still suffering from a
buyers strike, which accompanied
the sinking price level and most in
dustries are working on a scale OF
one-third TO two-thirds capacity.
The signs of Improvement in un-
employment are weak. However the
number Of unemployed is going
down. There were 15s,7oO jobless
on January 81 and only $4,000 idle

ployment continues TO decrease. OF
these more than 65 900 We're receiv-

ident Harding to arrange for the fund-

Der Of the commission. he favored col.
lecting "every dollar" Of the loans, In
cluding principal and interest.
To attempt to enforce payment I'M
mediately would ruin American COM

There Is no thought in my mind
of forgiving these countries either the
principal or interest on these obl'sa.
t,ons." Senator Smoot said.
Asked whether he concurred in the
statement Of Louis Loucheur, Minister
Of Finance In the BRAND Cabinet and
one Of Frances foremost fnanciers and
economists. that France ''can never pay
a sou to the United Stntes,' the Utah
Senator replied:
"Certainly not. Of course, they can

Any one would be foolish to expect the
debt to be paid at once. But there is
no doubt In my mind 1t will be paid
eventually, and am personally not IN
favor Of canc~ling or scaling down any
portion Of the debt Of any European
country--Francc included
Senator Smoot pointed out that to
force the immediate payment Of the debt
would further depreciate European cur.

prevent economic stabilization.
He declared Congress would have to
recognize the futility Of expecting to
enact prohibitive tariff and collect
the European debt Ut the same time.
Europe can only pay in goods he
said. ''They haven't any gold With
which to pay us. We cant exclude
foreign goods and expect to collect the
loans. That would be silly. The worst
thing we could do. from the viewpoint
of our own interests, would be to place
en- embargo on European goods and at.

the foreign debt.
"Just as soon rs the people OF the
world get back to work and get to pro.

made no objection when his name was
yaken off the committee.
''Rarkis Is Willin' ="
McSparran plainly came here with
the bearing of Barkis who is willin'.
He has made many speeches and is
an expert in caustic criticism, but his
enemies claim his criticisms often are
not based on facts.
They point to a recent speech he made
in Danville. where he was quoted as
severely criticizing DR.. Thomas T.. Fin
cyan. State Superintendent of Public
Instruction. and then turned around
and demanded for the schools of the
rural sections everything that DR.. Fine
gan's program aims to give them.
While there is no doubt McSparran
gained n strong hold on the meeting, a

him, and already are trying to head him

Talk Of big Pool"
Those who discuss this interesting cit.
uation. interesting in the light Of the
secret sessions here, loosely refer to
the big pool which Is financially inter.

attending the sessions here are described
as Pennsylvania operators with some
members from New York "headquar.
ters.'
The big turnover Of money involved
In the sale Of coal in Philadelphia is
represented by S75.OOO.OO In New
York City It Is about $3.50. 900 900 and
in other places the sum is in proportion.
Those who have some real knowledge Of
the situation say that the operators
make plenty Of money. It is certain
they pay their omcials high salaries.
Some figures mentioned we're 500. 900
and S35. 900 year. It Is argued that
the bigger turnover in money, the
greater profits, since the higher the price

can afford strike. there IS coal on
hand to last some time.
But" say friends Of the ;perators,
1--WE have got to battle with the men
or they may get out Of bounds. They
may want too much Of the profits"
The anthracite miners through John

the United Mine Workers. have sug-
gcsted March Is as the date for the
opening Of the joint conference with
the coal operators to negotiate new
wage agreement to replace the present
contract which expires March 81.
This suggestion from Thomas Ken.

the miners union, will be taken up
with the miners by a set committee OF
operators.
