ONE INDUSTRY M0N0POLIZED
 BY S0VlETS

VLADIVOSTOK, March 13. - In pursuance of it's policy of concen- trating all big industries in the hands of the state, the department Of foreign trade has declared that the export of linseed from the port Of Vladivostok will be the monopoly Of the state and private exporters are forbidden to export even those stocks which were brought before the is suance of this decree.
 Merchants who already have stocks on hand are petitioning the govern ment for the right to export their present holdings
 San Francisco is large buyer ot linseed from the Primoria and this order of the government is likely to hurt American importers, as well as hit the peasants of the district very hard, since the government will not pay the same price for linseed as the private buyer and has not the money to pay much.
 The government is still anxious to give foreigners concessions, thus hoping in time to get ready prepared industries into it's hands, and it is willing even to give seekers of con- sessions leases up to thirty-six years. However, this partiality of the gov ernment of turning any profitable in dustry into state monopoly will not help to introduce foreign capital into the country, and a representative of foreign capital who came here to review the Russian field, said: "As the communist movement is not linn ited as to time, foreign capital may always be requisitioned by the gov ernment and I am afraid that these new economical laws in Russia will be a great hindrance to the flow of foreign capital into the country"
 MT Nepomniaschi, head of the De- partment of Foreign Trade, says that the rule of the Soviet government was to buy only the machinery ne- cessary for industry and would pro- duce her own manufactured goods from her own raw materials. He also says that in the course of the next few months manufactured goods from Europeans Russia would be appearing in the Far East.

JELLY FISH SOVIETS,
 AUNTS CONSERVATIVES

TACOMA, March 13 - Animals have tried out every form of gov ernment, and the jelly fish is the only one that ever made a success of the communist system, Professor Trevor Kincaid of the University of Washington said in recent address here.
 "The jelly fish is the perfect soviet" he said, "where every mem Der works for the common good The amoeba, the simplest form of animal life, is the prefect individ ualist."
 Professor Kincaid said ants most closely parallel human society. "The ants have even their own bootleg, gers," he declared, land they are the most generous individuals in the world. However, an ant colony knows nothing of universal suffrage The old maids run the government while the male ant stays at home and takes things easy.
 "The ant is a radical while the bee is conservative. Bees meet new situations with the old methods and often failed, but ants adapt themselves to new situations and win"

 From Seattle

SEATTLE, March 13. - The first auction sale by the Seattle Fur Ex- change proved an outstanding suc- cess, $2O0,O00 worth of furs, principal ly from Alaska, being sold. Forty buyers, representing firms in New York, St. Louis, Quebec, Chicago, and San Francisco, attended and bid on the furs offered. Officers of the Ex- change report that strong upward tendency was shown and all the furs offered were sold at satisfactory prices. The skins sold included blue fox, silver fox, black fox, red fox and mink. To date the business has brought two eastern representatives to Seattle permanently, these men having bought homes with a view to remaining here so that they may be on the ground floor for all sales.

The year 1922 closed with an in crease of $20,7S0,4 ,401 in the commerce of Alaska as compared with that of the preceding year. Exports from the Territory more than doubled the i'm ports leaving the balance of trade in favor of Alaska Perhaps the largest increase in exports was in canned and other fish due to a revival of the can ming industry. The canned salmon pack of 1922 was 220,7S5,073 pounds valued at $29 9,497,626, as compared with values in 1921 of $19 9,559, ,62S. The total imports of the Territory were $26,S47,417, while the exports were $59SS7, $50. All of the exports except S1,371 ,49O came to the States. The Territory obtained all of it's imports from the States excepting $69,611.
 Lumber and pulp shipments were added to the exports, and it is under stood that a number of pulp and paper companies are negotiating for pulp area from the Forest Service. Travel to and from Alaska showed large increase over that of previous years, a total of 19,S67 persons entering the Territory from the United States and British Columbia during the year. A number of residents of the Territory took advantage of improved transpor- tation and cheaper rates to spend the winter in the States.

BUSINESS IMPROVES
IN SOUTHEAST SAYS
SIXTH RESERVE BANK
Retail and Wholesale Trade In
Six States Under Review
Decidedly Better
EARLY COTTON PROSPECTS
Farm Labor Short Throughout
Practically Entire Region,
Report Says

ATLANTA, April 30.-Growing
momentum characterizes virtually all
lines of business and industry in the
Sixth Federal Reserve district de-
clares the Atlanta reserve bank in
its summary of conditions during
March, made public here Saturday.
Retail and wholesale trade, based
on reports from a number Of repre-
sentative establishments in .he six
states comprising the 3is5rict, was
substantially better during the past
month than in February of this wear
and March last year, the review said.
Farm operations were said to have
been considerably delayed in recent
weeks by inclement weather, with
Georgia fruit crops reported endan-
gered as a result of late March
freezes.
Retail sales during March afford
ed the most favorable comparison
possible in mary months, the report
pointed oot. Despite weather inter
ference retailers reported total sales
increases over February and March
of last year with Birmingham lead
ing the lager cities of the district.
Chattanooga and Atlanta ranked sec
Dnd and third respectively. Mer-
chants reporting to the reserve bank
stated the aggregate stocks of mer-
chandise on hand at the end of the
month had increased 28 per cent,
while the rate of turnover dropped
2.3 times per year at the end of
February to slightly under two times
per year for March.
That an upward trend is charac-
terizing wholesale business is seen
by the banks review in pointing out
that in all except two lines March
sales increases over February were
greater than the decreases shown in
February sales compared with Jan
uary. The two lines excepted were
stationery end drugs. Shoe dealers
led in sales increases during March
as compared with February, record
ing a gain of 46.3 per cent, while
farm implements sales during the
past month were 85.6 per cent great
er than during the same month of
last year. Grocery, dry goods,
hardware and furniture dealers all
reported prosperous conditions.
Early cotton prospects are good in
Florida, Southern Georgia and Ala
bama, the review says, with a no.
ticeable increase in acreage, outside
of the regular cotton territory, re-
ported in Florida. Thirty to fifty
per. cent of the crop had been plant
ed along the Florida line when the
recent freeze came, the summary

STATE CONTEST MAY
DECIDE FINAL FATE OF
FEDERAL POWER ACT
New York Authorities Plan To
Attack Provisions of Statute
in u. S. Courts
AFFECTS MUSCLE SHOALS
Clifford Pinchot Advocates Fed
eral Regulation In Letter To
Governor Smith

Especial to the Times Recorder.
WASHINGTON, April 70. = The
Federal Water Power act, which
proved the stumbling block in the
path of the forces that ATTEMPTED
to secure a lease on Muscle Shoals
Tor henry Ford, has become an is
sue between two sovereign states.
New York and Pennsylvania have
definitely entered the lists in a CON
test that vitally affects every other
state in the union, and which NAV
affect the whole future Of hydro
electric development.
The question at issue is whether
water power sites belong exclusive
y to the states in which thev are
located or whether they are proper
ly subject to national jurisdiction.
The Federal Water Power act is
based upon the theory that power
sites on navigable streams are ma
tlonal rather than local assets. This
view is sharply challenged by Gov
ernor Smith, of New York. The EN-.
plre state executive holds that all
Of the electrical energy developed on
the st. Lawrence and available for
distribution in the United States be-
longs to the State of New York. The
energy developed at Muscle Shoals.
under his theory, would belong to
Alabama. There is no place, he holds,
for federal supervision of hydro
electric developments.
The State Of New York has. there
fore, begun suit for the purpose of
testing the constitutionality of the
Federal Water Power act. If Gov
ernor Smiths legal detectives were
achieved, hydro-electric energy could
not be distributed outside of the
state in which it was developed with
out first obtaining the consent of
that state.
Governor Pincbot Of Pennsylvania
is an advocate of the federal regu-
lation principle and has written Gov.
ernor Smith, urging him to withdraw
the suit which seeks to annuI the
Federal Water Power act and which
is now pending before the Federal
United States court.
''No one state" says Governor
Pinchot, 'has the right to monopolize
the power generated from the water
sources within its boundaries"
Governor Pinchot points out that
exclusive state Jurisdiction would
make it practically impossible to
form power distributing systems
that combine the energy obtained
from burning coal with that obtained
from flowing water, creating a COM
mon reservoir from which the needs
of industries, farms, homes and rail-
roads could be cheaply and efficient
ly supplied.
"Such system" says Governor
Pinchot, must transcend state lines
and is likely to become nationwide.
The new art of electrical transmits
sion is already so developed that the
giant power system with which we
are Immediately concerned should
now include all power producers and
consumers in the northeastern sec
tion of the United States and should
perhaps draw also upon resources of
water power in Canada.
IF this is so, then Pennsylvania
