S0VIETS DENY JEWISH
 CHARGE OF PERSECUTION
Insist That Hebrews in Russia Are Given Full Liberties of
 Religious Worship

London, Feb. 26 Jewish Telegraph Agency) y)-The joint foreign commit tee of British Jews has issued a six teen page reply to statement by the Russian soviet government explaining it's attitude toward the Jewish re- ligion.
 Pious Jews, the committee declares, have been compelled to organize secret classes to instruct their chill dren in the tenets of their ancestral | faith. Many have been sent to prison for nothing more than impart- | ing to their children this religious in- struction. The infractions against religious liberty are comparable to the edicts of the Spanish inquisition the statement continues.
 The Soviet denied there had been any interference with worship in the synagogues or that there was any re- lgious persecution in Russia.
 Those Jewish citizens" it declared, who still adhere to their religion are not only allowed to practice it openly without hindrance, and preach it under the protection of the Soviet authorities, but are freed from work on their holy days in Soviet institu- tions and enterprises. There are no religious prosecutions in Soviet Rus sia and any of it's citizens can seek "consoaton and hope" in any religion he pleases."
 The Soviet statement concluded with criticism of members of the Jewish board of deputies and of con- ditions in America.
 During the war;" it said. thou sands of people were thrown into the prisons of England, among them also Jewish workers whose faith would not permit them to take part in the war. Even now they are in the prisons of all the western states thousands of people, for the one crime of having ideas contrary to the interests of the governing classes"

COTTON PRICES NOW
 ARE NEARER NORMAL
Returns However, Are Not What
 They Should Be, Is Report

Washington. Feb. s6,-rhe sharI
 fall in cotton prices which began iI
 April, 1890, and continued for mors
 han year was due to the genera credit defiation, the great increase iI
 high priced inventories and the sub seauent buyers strike." the federal trade commission set forth in re- port submitted today to congress.
 The price inquiry was made by the commission in accordance with n reso- lution adopted by congress last March, and the present preliminary report, it was said. would be followed by ans other dealing particularly with opera tions of the cotton exchanges.
 The postwar price defiation the commission described as of world- wide character. affecting all com modities in this country in varying degrees. and cotton, more than any other. The most important and im- mediate factors in the decline. how ever. the commission found to be 'the marked increase in supply and decrease in demand" The report went cxhaustively into market conditions during the war period and immedi- ately after. which brought cotton prices up to the peak in April. 1920. Supply and demand were found to have been the controlling factors throughout. with the high price level prevailing in 1s19-20 attributed 'in part to the expectation that there would be world shortage of cotton"
 Tn the subsequent recovery cotton prices Fin money" since August, 1921, have been above the 1913 level. the report set forth, and measured in either slightly below or more recently considerably above the real exchange value of cotton in that year."
 While it thus appears that cotton prices, compared with the general level of prices. are not depressed at the present time, this does not mean, the report said, that cotton prices ''are at level which affords a com pensation to the grower which jus tifies such an extensive use of land and labor in it's production"
 Turning to discussion of cotton 'utures trading under the cotton fu- ures act, the commission found that he law apparently has brought lbout , marked improvement in the methods of trading on future ex- ,hanges."
