ANCLO-RUSSIAN
TREATY A VERY

taking them at large-the new
Anglo Russian Treaty is very
modest affair indeed.
1t provides for settlement of only
a fraction of Russia 3 foreign in
debtedness.
A birdseye view of those debts
would show them divided something
like this:
Of the Russian pre-war govern
ment debt, france llolds 50 per
cent; Great Britain IA per cent.
OF Russian industrial securities
held abroad and now repudiated by
the Soviet government, France holds
80 per cent, Great Britain 25 lr
cent, Germany 16 per cent, Bels
gium Is per cent, UnIed States 6
per cent.
OF Russia s war loans aboard,
Great Britain holds 70 per cent,
France 10 per cent, and the United
States 7 per cent.
Russia Hopes 20 Borrow
What Russia hopes to do under
the new treaty is 20 borrow in the
London money market enough to
start up her stagnant industries
again and with the surplus-prob-
ably modest-she will (a) compound
with the owners of the old Russian
bonds, paying JUST enough to gal
vanize the bonds into life again (b)

KANSAS CHURCH
RAISES A NEW
RADIO QUESTION

Kansas, noted as the former home
of Carrie Nation, of saloon smash
ing fame, sockless senator's, sun
flowers and huge wheat crops, can
always be depended upon to spring
something new and unusual, before
the same thing has been thought of
in other places.
The latest one concerns the radio,
and raises an interesting point of law,
which has been checked up to the
attorney generals office for a deci-
sion.
The question is, does interference
with radio waves carrying a sermon
constitute a violation of the Kansas
law prohibiting interference with re-
ligious worship?
1t has been asked by members of a
little church at Norway, Kansas. The
church has no pastor at the present
time, but the congregation determined
to continue the regular service each
Sunday and installed a radio receiving
set and have been getting service
from Omaha.
When the Omaha congregation
sings, so does the folks in the Nor
way church. When the Omaha min
lister the offering, the col
lection is taken in the little country
church, and they hear the sermon
over the radio. The claim that there
is a small broadcasting station not
far from their little town and that
when the sermon and services start
the operator of the neighborhood. sta
ton jams the air with his stuff, to
such an extent that the services are
interrupted and spoiled.
Attorney General Charles B. Grit
fifth has Investigated and advised the
Norway people that if the interior
ence was purposely done, or malici-
ously, it could be stopped and the
operator prosecuted. He held that il
would be purely a case of interior
ence with religious worship and sub
ject to the same penalties as if il
were actual interference with the
services if conducted within the
little church.
1t is said that this is the frs.
church in the country to establish
regular radio services.
