Statement Relative to Sections
Unproduotivity.
To the Editor Of The Star

To the Editor Of The Star
read In recent issue Of your
paper the article by Robert T. Small
relative to the political situation in
the NTH congressional district. While
agreeing with portions of the article
written by Mr.. Small, yet unfor-
tunately I feel that the gist of his
article tends TO create false I'M
preston of this section. Mr.. Small
refers to "unrich fields which yield q
living almost as difficult to wrest
from the ground as tradition has at
tributed to New England" L believe
Mr.. Small has been mislead by super
fetal observation, due, no doubt, to
4 rather hurried trip into this sec
ton.
AS a matter of fact during the last
several years southern Maryland has
enjoyed a prosperity equa' ed by but
few places in America. While 1t is
true that land prices are relatively
cheap in this section, yet by com
parison with other sections of the
country, southern Maryland ranks
high in total crop value per acre pro-
duced. For comparison 1 cite the

PARIS RECOGNITION
Sensational Development in
Britain Causes Alarm in
French Circles.
by CONSTANTINE BROWN.

BY Cable TO The Star and Chicago Dsfiy News
PARIS, October 27-Although the
official message announcing Frances
recognition Of Soviet Russia has been
lying on Premier IIerriot's desk
awaiting his signature since last
Tuesday, the French premier has not
yet found time to sign it.
Persons in close touch with Mr..
Herriot explain the delay by the
publication of the Zinovieff letter
showing up attempts of the Soviet to
cause a revolution in England.
The document is causing consider
able worry to the French premier,
who fears that recognition of the
Soviet at the present moment may
increase his troubles with the Sen
ate. We is positive that the Chamber
of Deputies will welcome the de-
cision, but the upper house. where his
party has only slight ma ajority. may
refuse ratification and SO render use
less the governments recognition.
Enthuxinsm Waning.
Premier Herriots friends state that
lie is no longer an enthusiastic advocate
OF recognition, but that his extreme radi-
cal supporters insist on his keeping his
electoral pledges, and thus the premier
VIII be forced, despite his better judg-
ment. to recognize q government with
whose idea he is in sympathy, but whose
methods of working cannot appeal to
the large majority Of F'renchmen.
Ihe French extremists are endeaVor-
ing TO prove that the governments hest
taton is due to pressure brought to
bear upon it by the Morgan bank. They
assert that conversations between the
American bankers and the French
finance minister have been suspended
temporarily on account of Morgans
warning that there will be no loan
raised in the United States if the Soyiets
are recognized
This, however, is emphaticaIly denied
by the Morgan bank as well as BY
French treasury officials

When you realize that on an
acreage of from 5 to 10 acres the
good farmer who raises tobacco can
net all the way from $4,000 to $4,000
per year, YOU will appreciate, no
doubt, the removal OF any incentive
for man to actively farm any great
amount of land. Although the ma
jority of farmers in this section own
from 100 to 1000 acres. very few. If
any, farm more than Is or 20 acres.
This gives the section, 1t is true, d
rather unprosperous appearance. and
while this is unfortunate and is apt
to create such an impression as that
recorded by Mr.. Small, yet / know
little investigation will show that
