THE NEW RUSSIA
By GEORGES POPOFF, International News Service Staff
 COrTeSnOndnnt

(Copyright, 1922, by I. N. -S.)
 Moscow, Nov. 9-The Soviet regime does not permit Jewish pogroms. That is an undeniable fact. Since October, 1917, there has not been a single Jew ish pogrom in the territories of Rus sia that have been under Soviet jur- fsdiction.
 Everything that has been said or written to the contrary is fiction or propaganda.
 Anti-B olshevists point to what they call the ''semitization' of the Soviet Government and say:
 ''It is quite logical that there are no Jewish pogroms in country that is governed by Jews"
 But this is not an objective exp1an- ation. Whoever has an opportunity to study present-day Russia at first hand should have no difficulty in de- termining the real facts.
 Much lying is being done about Bol- shevist Russia both by pro-Bolshevist biased observers duty is to turn deaf ears to these emanations from right and left to report only that which he has seen and heard.
 In observing this rule I believe l can justly assert that the Identification of BolseviSm with "a Jewish-creat1on' is a gross deception of the European and American public. The explana- tioa therefore is to be found, I be- lieve in deliberate propaganda emarating from anti-Bolshevists and anti-Semitic circles.
 The idea of Communism is not a Jewish world philosophy. It is a ty- pical vision of the typical Russian whose imaginative and emotional life is a complex that has neither rhyme nor reason for anyone who does not understand the Russian soul.
 The most rabid the most fanatical Bolshevists-and particularly the idealists among them-are with very few exceptions, arch Russians The founder of the Russian Communist1c party, the only true genius in pres ent-day Russia Leain is Russian. Up to the year 1917 his party count ed among it's members proportion ately much fewer Jews than did the other Republican parties of Russia. l. e., the Cadets and Social Revolution aries.
 The Czar1st Government was bad, though it was free from Jews. Then came the revolution and brought for the first time racial equality in Rus sia The government of Prince Lyoff and the subsequent Kerenski government included numerous Jews certainly not fewer than there are today in the Soviet government.
 It must not be forgotten that the revolution in itself broke the anti Jewish ban. It permitted Jews to enter the government. This was something startlingly new, and it was not Bolshevisn that brought about this change
 Furthermore. it is a safe statement that, proportfonately, the Soviet gov- ernment and Soviet officialdom throughout the Russian Empire does not include a greater number of Jews than is to be found in similar positions in any other Republican country in the world
 Also. the Council of Peoples Com Tnissaries does not consist in its ma jority, of Jews, but of erstwhile noble man of Russian nationality and of

 Thus the Jewish government" when examined through the micro scope of the unbiased observation, ap- pears to be rather a government of Communistic former landed lords"
 Nor is it correct to speak of a sem itization'' of the Soviet army and of ffcialdom. An unusual number of Jewish officials Is to be found only in such institutions as demand of their employees primarily linguistic knowl-
 edge. Travellers who visited Russia in former years evince great aston ishment nowadays even at the mere
 presence of Jews in Moscow and Petrograd. This is easily explained, because before the war the Jews in Russia were absolutely forbidden to pass a certain border-line which com prised Poland and parts of the pres-. ent-day Ukraine. There was, above all, an iron-c1ad injunction against their living in the capital or other large cities.

the u. s. Bureau Of Agricultural
Economies, Virginia shipped 19,5li0
cars of 600 bushels from the l92I

potatoes and $50 cars were from the
late crop. The only two states. winch
last year shipped more cars OF potat-

Colorado, Michigan, and Idaho. me
total number of cars reported for

WHY ENDANGER LIVES OF
PEDESTRIANS

1t has been noted that certain OF
the Washingtou-Alexandria sight
seeing busses are driving the
streets of Alexandria, loaded with
tourists, to whom the driver de-
scribes the points OF interest OF the
city as they proceed through the
streets crowded with traffic. Why
serious accidents have not been re-
ported as a result OF the driver 5
lack of attention to his proper du-
les, is a mystery.
A majority OF the buSSes, or
which a large number come to
Alexandria each day, have a man
whose sole duty is to act as what
is commonly known in show par
lance as barker leaving the
driver of the car free to handle
the vehicle. This is as 1t should
be, and we believe that II the at
tention of the city authorities
were called to the matter, this
would he requirement, il, indeed
it is not already required by law
1t is certain that a man whose
work is to drive a car should do
that and that alone. 1t is equally
certain that one attempting to Go
double duty is only inviting dlsas-
ter. and is endangering the lives
and limbs OF his passengers NM
self. and others. The time has
about arrived for the city to de-
rive some additional revenue from
this additional burden placed upon
the streets.

conduct OF the Republicans in this
respect as a campaign issue will
depend upon circumstances. 1t is
hard to get people to think about,
and realize the right and wrong of
such legislation if business is good
and most of them are living we'll.
If people happen to vote on tuli
stomach the inclination OF many OF
them will be to support the party
in power, the while asking few
questions.
Some of those who have given
the most thought to the subject
are Of the opinion that the new
tariff bill will add three billion
dollars during the ensuing year to
the cost OF living. But Republi-
cans figure this will be a painless
tax, your pockets will be picked
while you sleep, if times are good.
On the other hand. given the pres
ent state of confusion and chaos
in economic conditions when cleo
ton time comes, with the public
mind fixed upon food and fuel
and the issue which Mr.. Bryan
favors would be certain to chal-
lenge popular attention. More
over, the chances are better than
even that it would be hospitality
received.

NATIONAL LABOR ORGAM-
CATIONS

A great deal of difficulty attends
the effort to run strike on a ma
tional basis. The principle OF one
for all, and all for one, is not
without merit; but this is a big
country, and conditions vary in
the various sections. 1t IS hard
to frame tariff bill from the en-
tire country, and it is equally dit
fcult to frame rules and regula-
tons governing a National labor
union. There is the case OF the
shopmen. for example, hitherto
employed by the Southern Rail
way company. They have been
separated from their jobs by Ma
tional issues in which they only
had a remote or academic inter
est; but National Leaders held
that they must not return to work.
as-the strike was a National one
and and must be settled Nationally.
We have long felt that the I'M
ION cause would have suffered no
harm had these men returned to
work. while their failure to do so
has resulted in harm to the COM
panv. their employers. to their
section in which many OF them
own homes. and to themselves
whether they own homes or not
Our understanding is that the
brotherhood Chiefs have taken
some such view as this, and all
this is of interest now since there
IS little talk of a settlement OF the
strike and the Southern is daily re-
cruiting new men.
This is leaving the old men OF
the Southern out on a limb, 50 to
speak. Our notion is that the rule
about settling strikes Nationally
sbo,,Id be far less iron clad. An
amendmen or reservation should
he in order now and then.

would make a number OF speeches
in the approaching campaign and
he is inclined to think the chances
are something like even tor the

MUSSOLINI SHO VS.
FRIENDLY ATTITUDE
TO WARD VATICAN
May Ask Pope to Appoint Two
Cardinals as Members of
Italian Senate.

ROME. Nov. 21.-CBy a Pr
The favorable attitude OF Benito
Mussolini, the premier OF Italy to-
ward the vatican has been shown re-
Gently in his speeches, including that
delivered when presenting his cabi-
net to parliament.
This fact has caused rumors 20
circulate that Mussohni may pro-
pose to King visitor Emmanuel that
the monarch appoint two cardinals
as senators OF his kingdom, name
~ Cardinal Maffi, the learned arch
bishop OF Pisa, who was one OF the
foremost candidates for the papal
crown last January, and a personal
friend OF the reigning family. and
Cardinal Endrici, prince bishop OF
Trent. who, when Trent was under
Austrian rule, suffered because or
his patriotism for Italy.
According to canon law ecclesias-
tics may not accept government ap-
pointments without the authorize
ton of the ecclesiastio authority
which, In the case OF a cardinal,
would be the pope himself. Dur
ing the past 50 years, or since the
fall Of the temporal power Of the
pope, no ecclesiastic has been ap-
pointed a senator, and since the ex-
istence Of parliamentary govern
ment In Italy only seven cardinals
have had seats in the senate.
The last appointment OF a cardinal
10 the upper chamber was IN 1858.
The cardinal archbishop OF Turin.
who was a senator in 1870 never
resigned his seat. but after the pope
ives deprived OF territorial sovereign
" over Rome the cardinal never re-
entered the upper chamber.
Should Mussolini succeed in hav-
ing two cardinals appointed to the
senate. 1t Is felt here this would be
the final step toward official recon-
Citation between church and state
in Italy which practically already
exists.
