gether for common ends at the Genoa
conference.
In a measure that is true, for the
treaty merely enlarges upon points i'm
formally agreed 70 in Berlin while the
Soviet delegation was there on the
way to Italy. Diplomatic and consular
relations are to be reestablished al
once under conditions to be formulated
in another treaty. One paragraph OF
the present treaty establishes the prin-
ciple OF 'fayorite nation" treatment in
all trade dealings; and another is a
pledge that both Governments will do
all in their power to recognize each
others needs.
Germany agrees to aid in every pos
sible way certain unspecified arrange
ments between the Russian Govern
ment and private firms. The favored
nation clause is to go into effect inn
mediately, along with recognition and
the principle of reciprocity. The re-
naming clauses are effective only
upon ratification by Germany.

GENOA, April 17.-Leon TrotZky. as
Soviet Commissar for War. has issued
the following order to the Red army
and navy:
I'm the Genoa conference repre-
sentatives of Russia's workers and
peasants are negotiating with the
bourgeois States for the establishment
of peaceful business. particularly
through regular trading relations.
'The question of disarmament, raised
by Foreign Commissar Tchitcherin. has
been declared out of order. Tchitcherins
proposal means that we sincerely want
peace, Ii those attacking US will dis
arm. Capitalist Frances refusal to dis
cuss the proposal shows that the rapi-
talist countries, and primarily triumph
ant France, desires to keep q powerful
weapon for the suppression OF the weak
and unarmed nations. We desire that
Tchitcherin's peaceful endeavors may
be crowned with success, and we hope
that the nations Of Europe will force
the militant bourgeois rulers to heed de-
mands for peace"
The Bolshevist reply to the conversa-
tions held with Prime Minister Lloyd
George and other representatives of the
Allies at his villa here regarding the
points raised by the allied experts is
delayed owing to the necessity Of cabling
it first to Moscow. The Allies, insisting
upon Russias recognition OF her pre-
war debts. point out that this would
eventually work out to her advantage.
as 1t would be impossible for her to get
loans IL she started policy of repu.
diation.
The Bolshevil1i complain of the injus-
tice in statements that the estimate OF
their debt is exaggerated. They put
their war debt at 20, 000, 100000 rubles
gold and their postwar losses through
blockade and Intervention at SO, 900. .000,-
GOO, but the first sum does not take into
account devastation. whereas the second
does.
Statements to the contrary notwth-
standing. Tchitcherin has promised that
Russia. will pay her pre-war debts IL
she is paid for the losses caused by
civil strife and blockade after the war.
Tchitcherin refused to recognize war
debts because they were "subventions"
by the Allies for a common cause In
which the Allies derived all the profit
but the Russians got nothing.
Critics have said the civil war in Rus
sia was sham battle, wherein 200. 900
soldiers would have been ample. but the
Bolsheviki maintain that 1t was ter
rible war. in which they had 5000, 900
men under arms In January, 1920, as
shown by the Soviet Ministry of Finance.
They declare that devastation was enor-
nous and that the present famine and
pestilence are one result of Intervention
and blockade.

The Manufacturers Association has

trio Company. to which DR.. Walter
Rathenau and Herr Deutsch have long
preached the resumption or trade rela-
tions with Russia, have not yet under
taken any of the numerous extensive
electrification projects which they havo
been discussing with the Soviets for the
last three years.
Hugo SHINES fought contract to
repair and reorganize the Russian rail-
roads, but the Soviets declined the Of
fer. fearing the Stinnesization of Rus
sia and SHINES to date has only a

Several manufacturers who wanted to
REOPEN their factories told the corre-
spondent that the Soviets scattered their
concessions TO such an extent that they
renounced the project as they feared
they could not exercise sufficient control
to operate them.
There has been much talk of German
loans to the Bolsheviki. There have
been many deals in which wares were
sold 10 Russia. Last year from Ger.
many these totaled 10000. 100000 marks,
but the Germans always insisted on

Allies Soviet officials also are consign-
ing leather packets containing the dia-
monds. rubies and pearls confiscated In
the homes OF the bourgeoisie.
The Russian newspaper NoUoe Vremyd
conservatively estimates that the value
Of these shipments Is not less than
1900, 900, 900 francs. Some of the
treasure Is being stored in the banks OF
Reval where 1t Is well known that the
Soviet Administration has placed gold
bars, obtained by melting down all sorts
Of Russian heirlooms, to the value OF
800, 900, 900 rubles gold. These deposits
are made ostensibly to cover urgent pur-
chases of foodstuffs abroad; but much
OF the precious mineral has been de-
posted under fictitious names and Is
believed certain to disappear when the
Moscow Government decides to abandon
its present financial system.

Substitutes TO ne Offered.

1t will not be possible to gauge the
exact extent of this sentiment in the
committee until the bill passed by the
posed TO a more thorough analysis
than has yet been given to IT, Various
substitutes will be offered for the
House measure. IL is among the pos
sibilities that the House bill prac
tically will be rewritten.
But the majority sentiment In the
committee seems to favor. with a few
changes, the acceptance of the House
scheme. which does not provide any
revenue. The supporters Of the bonus
on tho Finance Committee would like
to dispose OF the whole matter as soon
as possible. report 1t to the Senate and
have the tariff bill set aside to permit
final consideration.
In view OF President Harding's posi-
ton that tho tariff bill should have the
right OF way IL is doubtful if this plan

Senate can be carried out. Ttat will
be determined when the Finance Com
mittee has prepared a report on the
bonus bill. IL an attempt Is made to
set aside the tariff bill there will be a
test OF strength between the Senators
who usually support the Administra-
ton and those who regard TIE bonus

The chances are that tho support

Republican side Analysed.

The Republican majority in the Sem
ate is almost evenly balanced as re-
CARDS the attitude of the three groups
toward bonus. The larger number
Of Republican Senators at present un-
questionably favor the passage Of the
bonus bill for political reasons and for
no other. This group is headed by
Senator McCumber and by Senator
Capper. who is the leader OF the agr-
cultural bloc in the upper house.
The majority OF Senators favoring
the bonus have little or no preference
regarding the terms of the bin which
they demand shall be passed. The
same influences which dictated the
railroading of the measure through
the House obtain among Senators
friendly to the bonus. Among these
men those who are candidates for re-
election are naturally the most nu-
merous.
Any sort of a bonus bill that will
win the support of the bonus claimants
In the coming election will suit these
Senators. Controlling sentiment in the
Finance Committee synchronizes with
the attitude of the, Senators who de-
sire to have a bill reported as quickly
as possible in order to win the sup
port of the Soldier boys" in the CON-
ing elections.

in the bill now before the Finance
Committee, even by the most ardent
of bonus supporters.
The fact is three fourths of the Sem
ators would like to see the entire bonus
project rejected. The only reason given
to justify their support of 1t Is that
failure to put it through would expose
those Senator'S who are candidates for
reelection to possible defeat through
the opposition of members of the
American Legion and sympathizers
with ex-service men who are demand
ing further cash recognition for their
patriotic services.
The only defense of the bill made
by the majority of the Senators, who
at the present moment are inclined to
favor it.. is they promised to vote for
a bonus Tie majority of these Sena-
tors frankly regret having made such
promises and are constrained by po-
litical considerations from following
the example Of several Senators, in
cluding Senator Moses (Rep., n. H.)
In >candidly responding to sincere con-
victions that the condition of the
country does not now justify fulfill
ment of the pledge.
Democratic Attitude Defined.
The majority OF the thirty-nine
Democratic Senators are in favor OF
the bonus for a very simple and, TO
themselves, logical reason. Realizing
that the enactment of bonus legisla-
tion will compel the imposition of
staggering burdens in the way Of
taxation, Democratic Senators per-
ceive partisan advantage in making
the Republican Administration and
Congress responsible for it.
Several Democratic Senators who
admit that the sentiment of their
States is opposed to the bonus declare
their only reason for committing
themselves to its support is that 1t will
turn public opinion against the party
responsible for adding to TIE burdens
of taxation against which the people
are protesting.
This explanation of the Democratic
opposition does not square with the
record of the party. but in the absence
OF decisive leadership and a uniform
pToSTdll lHlS HidhcS iO ulHcTcllCe
The Wilson Administration provided
the war risk insurance plan as sub
stitute for pensions and bonuses Of
any sort.
Eight or ten Democratic Senators
regarding consistency in politics as de-
sirable are opposed to the bonus for
this very excellent reason. But they
are not strong enough in number to
influence the majority OF their asso-
ciates who are intent on putting the
Republican party in the hole" regard

of the country.

MayoraIty Fight at Primary
Election -0ther Political
Gossip is Given

KEYPORT, Sept. 23.-With the
approaching primary election partic-
ular interest is centered in the To-
cal mayoralty fight which until sew
eral days ago promised to be a one
sided affair. Since the announce
ment by Recorder Isaac N. John
ston that he will enter the contest
and conduct a sticker campaign,
there have been rumor of several
other candidates who will enter the
field on primary day. Although Mr..
Johnston is popular and has many
friends in both parties, Thomas l..
Smith, the Republican candidate,
who filed a petition, is also ex-
tremely popular and has the backing
of the Republican party to a large
extent as well as considerable back
ing from the Democratic party.
In the county offices where there
Is a contest it is expected that w.
w. Ramsey who opposes Howard w.
Roberts for surrogate will receive
the larger vote here and that Charles
NJ. Wyckoff, Democratic candidate
for freeholder. will receive the larg-
er vote locally, opposing Henry c.
Wode.
For United States senator the vote
for Joseph Frelinghuysen, Republic
can is expected to greatly exceed
that of George l.. Record, progress
sive Republican. Mr.. Frelinghuy-
sen has a large number of personal
friends in the borough and is ex-
tremely popular here. He has been
heard here on several occasions with
great interest.
