BRITISH TREATY
WITH RUSSIA
SCORED
Lloyd George Aids Tories in
Attack in Commons on
Macdonald Plan

LONDON, Aug. THE storm
over the Anglo-Russian agreement,
embodYtng two treaties-one general
and one commercial-broke out
again in Commons today when for
mer Premier David Lloyd George
and Sir Robert Horne insisted that
the general treaty should not be
signed until 1t could be debated.
Premier Ramsey Macdonald said
he wanted to sign the pact this
afternoon, pointing out 1t would
not be operative until after Com.
mons debates it in the September
session.
Premier Macdonald explained
that when the treaty is debated by
Commons the members may amend
or reject 1t.
Marquis Curzon, attacking the
agreement, said It gave something
for nothing.
Edmund Morel. Laborite, replied
to the Tories with a vigorous de-
Tense of the agreement, saying:
"The LaboriteSs have done some.
thing; the Tories have done moth
ing. AS to David Lloyd Georges
attack, will not say It was hypo.
critical, but it was disingenuous. -
The treaty has been published.
Soviet Russia recognizes the Rus.
sian pre.war debts and agrees to
the appointment Of sclaims commit.
tees to fix the amounts that shall
be paid. After an agreement has
been reached to satisfy holders Of
Russian bonds, the Soviet will OBJ.
tain credits from England.
Newspapers severely criticised
the agreement, claiming It was not
definite enough, as It does mot men,

GIVES PORTRAIT
OF CALVIN, JR.,
To MOTHER
Young italian Artist Spent
Months in Completing
Picture
JjMEs~ PHo1o ~

A portrait Of Calvin Coolidge, jr,
son of President and Mrs. Coolidge
who died a month ago today, paint
ed by the young Italian artist
Michael Califano, was presented to-
day by the painter to Mrs. Cool
idge.
The painting was made from q
sketch OF Calvin, jr., drawn hastily
by the artist on the one occasion
when he saw the boy walking on
Washington street. Practically
the entire past month has been de.
voted to finishing the picture.
Mr.. Califano was accompanied to
Washington today by Ralph F.
M1lella, of the labor department
OF the State Of New York.
Califano came to the United
States two years ago and was de
tained at Ellis Island for several
weeks because of q defect in. his
hearing.
While he was on the island, the
young artist painted a portrait OF
a young immigrant girl, which at
tracted the attention Of the port
authorities and of the art critics
in New York. It was then learned
that the immigrant had had many
OF his paintings hung in the Naples
exhibits.
Since that time CaIifano has had
two exhibits in New York, one al
the Vanderbilt Hotel and the other
at the City Club. Several of his
paintings Of Washington Square
and the Bowery have won high dis
tinction in this country,

among themselves, certain monthly
and weekly reports and bulletins
concerning current stocks Of hard.
wood lumber and current prices of
hardwood lumber. They distributed
these statistics. They then would
hold meetings and discuss these
statistics.
They claimed that their object
merely was to acquaint every mem
Der Of the trade with the actual sta.
tistical situation in the trade. They
claimed that they were trying to
get rid simply of ignorant competi.
ton, OF competition in the dark. I"
They claimed that they were try.
ing simply to introduce "competi-
ton in the open" They called
their plan "the open competition
plan"
The case came up for final de-
cision by the United States Su.
preme Court in the fall of 1921.
The Department OF Justice, under
Attorney General Dougherty, main
tanned that the "open competition
plan" was a mere pretense and a
mere s1bterfuge and that the inter.
change of statistical information
between the defendants resulted
directly in concerted action by
them for the raising of prices.
The Court held with the Depart
ment Of Justice. It condemned the
defendants.
Numerous ''open competition
plan" associations thereupon ceased
from their "open competition" ac
tivities. Quite few such assocla.
tons went entirely out of existence.
A plan which ten years ago was
thought to be the final answer 10
the needs Of business men seeking
cooperation without falling into
conspiracy" was put under a legal
cloud thick enough to render it both
questionable and dangerous.
New Situation Develops.
Today business firms are hesital-
ing in many cases to tell one
another even what stocks of mater
ials they have on hand. The en-
forcement of competition, so far as
the law Is concerned, has been car
ried to a new extreme which in
1890, when the Sherman Antitrust
Law was passed, would have seemed
incredible.
A situation then develops in
which still newer methods of getting
by the Sherman Antitrust Law are
attempted by some business men.
Thereupon the Department of Jus.
tice, through it's old veteran anti
trust bloodhound, Mr.. J.. A.. Fow-
Ter, who can pick up the scent Of
u trust under any and all conceallng
perfumes, and through its younger
professional antitrust legal beagles,
like Mr.. Roger Shale, and through
its immediate administrative man.
Gger, Mr.. "A. T. Seymour, the Az.
sistant to the Attorney General, has
10 pant after those still newer "cUn-
spiracies" and catch up with them
The ultimate situation then BE-.
comes the one which will be de-
scribed in the next and concluding
article and which in fact exists
irrespective of campaign oratory pro
ard con on the trust" issue.
