GLASGOW. December 3o.-A chaotic
situation has developed along the
Clyde side owing to the refusal of
tenants to pay rent for many months
past. at least 10000 householders in
Glasgow alone participating. The re-
suit is that the landlords are not
paying their taxes to the local gov
ernment, and in consequence the ad-
ministration IL disorganized.
The courts are powerless to inter-
vene owing to q recent decision of
the house Of lords in the tenants IA
vor on q technical point connected
with wartime restriction legislat1on.
The Glasgow landlords will lose fl.-
100000 IL the decision is not altered.
Tho trouble began in 1920, when q
majority Of Scottish agents for land
lords failed to serve formal notices to
tenants before raising the rentals and
giving them opportunity to give up
their tenancy * they did not wish to
pay the increases. The house Of lords
held that the omission rendered all
the increases that were collected IL
legal.
Consequent the tenants are "sft-
ting tight" until such increases are
liquidated In respect to the future

'.The soviet reublic." he said.
earnestly hopes that the beginning Of

people for productive work and for tbs
opening of our natural resources to

Our most earnest desire is uni
versal naval disarmament. as well as
disarmament on land. peace and pro-
ductive work. The soviet republic is
strong enough to resist aggression,
but we must regret that the scheme
which has prevailed at Lausanne Will
compel us to arm and fortify our south

The entire soviet delegation de-
lfvered a New Year sermon to tho

Tchitcherin distributed TO all the dele
cations at Lausanne a memorandum
declaring that solution of the near
east problem is possible only by aban-
donment of the policy of conquest and
intervention toward Turkey.
Happily the soviet's advent to powe-
in Russia had saved Turkey from total

at Lausanne, according to the memo

their old policy of domination and ex-'
pansion and seek to settle the strait,

The memorandum warmly takes
sides with Turkey in her struggle
for sovereign freedom. and insists
that imperiaiistic nations must cease
to consider Moslems as interiors. In
behalf of the Moscow government.
Tchitcherin recommends the calling
or special conference to examine

the formation of a confederation b.

to repair the devastation wrought on
his liquor business. largely because
of American prohibition.
When the war broke out. NJ Monnet
was selling large quantities of his
own brandies in the United States and
Canada. Exempt from military serv-
ice he undertook missionary work for
France in London. He has never
taken the slightest interest in politics
or international affairs. but he showed
such qualities as negotiator that
at the special request of Lord Robert
Cecil the French government approv-
ed his nomination as representative
of France on the leagues secretariat
NJ. Monnet and Sir Eric Drummond
were the real negotiators Of the set
tlement of the upper Silesian ques-
tion.I NJ. Monnet also had a great
deal to do with the final efforts to
save Austria. He took such an in
portant place in the leagues work
that his resignation has caused con-
sternation.
Premier Poincare has endeavored to
induce him to retain his position and
only take an extended leave Of alb
sence. but NJ. Monnet was of the
opinion that he could not keep such
an important post in the league while
feeling that his business needed him.
While M. Monnet was helping EuS
rope out of her difficulties. his own
firm in Cognac was getting into them
very deeply as result of prohibition.
The surrender Of a position paying a
quarter of a million francs a year is
said to be the first example Of such
abnegation on the part of the public
functionary in the annals of Europe.
but those who know NJ. Monnet say
that after he has brought his own
firm safely out Of its difficulties he
will return to do his best for Europe.
