at s7S5 were regarded as no more
than CSC higher. but some Of the
droves at $3.50 might not have
brought more than $3.50 on Satur
days market and therefore were re-
garded as 30c higher The rough and
pig market reflected the general ad-
vance, pigs selling down from $3.50
though generally down from s7.25,

LODGE OPPOSES
RUSSIA TO HALT
RED PESTILENCE
Senator Declares Recognition
Would Mean Danger to
u. S, Government.

BIZ United Pres
ton OF Russia now would subject the
United States to a 'pestilence Of com
munist propaganda" Senator Lodge,
chairman of the Senate Foreign Rela-
lions Committee, asserted today in a
SIS, 900 word speech to the Senate tell
ing why the Administration opposes
recognition.
Recognition would mean, Lodge
said, every industrial center in the
country would have a Russian consul
who would in reality be a communist
propaganda.
1.-THE question of immediate danger
to the government of the United
States by revolution or insurrection
is not the point" said Lodge. ''the
question is whether you are going to
permit the spread Of a pestilenca
through the country. A very sure
way of permitting it to spread is by
recognizing the people who are under
taking to spread doctrines that would
strike at the very foundations of free
organized society and seek TO destroy
the principles that have made the
United States what 1t is.
There is something more at stake
than trade. There is nothing now to
stop trade with Russia The reason
we do not have business with Russia
IS because that country is producing
no surplus to pay for our exports to
them. Trade Is impossible and Is
found so in practice.
but no trade is worth endanger-
ing what is far more important, the
basic principles OF American freedom
or the welfare OF the American peo-
ple."
