Paris, April ia call upon the
nations of the world to break all re-

Russia was issued today by the Rus
sian national committee here in the
form of a public statement signed by
A. Karkatchoff, Michael Federoff and
Jules Zemenoff. The statement was
drafted in connection with the forth
coming trial of Archbishop Tikjhon
former patriarch of the Russian Or
thodox church. The breaking of re-
lations such as it advocates the COM
mittee says would hasten the fall of
the communists by depriving them of
all hope of financial assistance. The

of religious heads are raising against
themselves the soul of Russia"

NO SUGAR SHORTAGE
Mass. Investigators Also Report
There Is No Indication That There
Will BE Any.

Boston, April 16.--The state COM
mission on necessaries of life report
ing to the legislature today on a
special investigation of the sugar sit
uation said there was no shortage
present or prospective and that the
recent advances were due largely to
speculation. Most of it in the New
York sugar exchange.
The activities of the exchange were
held to be purely speculative" and
it was asserted that the exchange
played an important part in the
thimble rigging of sugar prices"
The commission found that neither
production costs nor the tariff had
anything to do with increasing prices.

Animal Facts

In naming our birds and animals
we have made some awful breaks
A grounding is not a hog a tall, but
a burrowing rodent or rat. Same for
the prairie dog. This sociable little
fellow doesn't resemble a dog in any
way. He is Just plain rat. The carl.
bou is the common American rein
deer. Our elk Is not an elk at all,
but wapiu deer. The true elk is a
European animal, quite different
from ours. The nighthawk Is not a
hawk at all, but a member Of the
whip-poorwi1l family. The sea.
swallow is the common tern and this
black woodcock Is none other than
the pi1eated wood-pecker. And there
are many other misnomers.
The male wren does not work at
st-building. The female carries
the hod," but she won't do It unless
her gentleman friend sings to her
while she tolls. AS long as he sings
she will carry straw, and often sha
gathers enough material to build
dozens of nests where only onA is
needed.

Grief
(Munoie Evening Press)

An Indianapolis woman attempted
to commit suicide because her hus-
band would not take her to a ball
game Sunday. which suggests the
thought that nobody knows how small
thing in his own eyes may be very
big In another's and that even deep
grief is a comparative thing. The cir
cumstances of the husbands refusal
are not known, but we may easily
infer that the wife had thought and
planned ito attend that ball game as
a bright spot in a week of drabness
Perhaps her household duties had
been tedious and exacting; maybe she
had been engaged In other work
equally monotonous.
OF course she should not have taken
this matter so seriously, for there
were to be other days and other
amusements-even other tall games,
IL that sport was her prefer
ence-but doubtless grief weighed
upon her because Of this dis
appointment to so great an extent that
she could see little ahead of her that
was cheering.

HARVESTER
TRUST BACK
ONCE MORE
Daugherty Waits Three Years
to Break Monopoly on
Implements,
BY JOHN CARSON
Times STAFF C0rresp ondent

~IJ ASHINGTON, July 26. The
WI harvester trust is with us
Wv again. Attorney General Daugh-
erty has started out to have the trust
dissolved and to break the grip of the
International Harvester Company ron
the farm implement business.
The puzzling thing is why the At
torney General waited so long to
bring suit
Three years ago, the Federal Trade
Commission recommended the At
torney General bring suit to dissolve
the trust The commission made
most exhaustive report which estab-
lished conclusiveIy the trust had a
monopoly on the farm implement
business, that through its subsidiary
corporations and it's manufacturing
and sales organizations. 1t collected an
excess profit from the farmers.
Daugherty Takes Notice
Three years later-or just the other
day-Daugherty took notice. Some
connect the fling of the suit with the
recent political situation in Minnesota
and the farmer political uprising.
And what will the suit accomplish?
Back in 1911, just after the old
bureau Of corporations had made
study of the harvester combine, suit
was brought to dissolve the trust
That suit was intended to bring about
a condition such as the Federal trade
commission recommended in 1920. But
what happened?
The case was brought in the lower
courts. The Harvester Corporation
Immediately made a proposal for a set
Element. a proposal which would not
have resulted in breaking the control
Of the trust. The proposal was re-
jected. The lower court upheld In
most particulars the request of the
Government. Then the trust appealed
to the Supreme Court.
Argued and Reargued
It was argued and reargued and
finally IN place for decision In 1918.
Then came an announcement the
attorney general had reached an
agreement with the trust The agree
ment. another me of those consent
decrees." such as developed in the
meat packer case, merely caused the
trust to let go of two minor subsidiary
organizations which were then very
small factor In the trust operations
and which were growing less and less
each year.
