France Still Flinty

PARASITIC Poincare government
alone in Europe, is turning a fiinty
face toward Moscow and the state
ment is given out from official circles
that France will not follow the ex-
ample Of England and Italy and rec
ognize the Soviet Republic.
Trade reasons would dictate recog-
milton if they were the only reasons
to be considered but the enormous
Russian bonded debt which French in
vestors hold make the attitude Of
French rulers different from that of
the merchant nations. These huge
Russian bonds were sold by the Cars
government largely to finance his war
with Japan and the costly repressions
of the Russian revolutionary move
ment in which he INDUCED and the
Soviet government has not considered
the obligations incurred by the over
thrown tyrant as something demand
ing early consideration.

ITALY YIELDS
RECOGNITION TO
SOVIET RUSSIA
HOLLAND AND NORWAY ARE
NEXT IN LINE FOLLOWED BY
OTHER EUROPEAN COUN-
TRIES.

MOSCOW, Feb. 9.-The Italian
government yields full diplomatic
recognition to Soviet Russia today,
following the example set last week
by Great Britain.
The Italian diplomatic representa-
tive has informed Foreign Secretary
Chicherin that his nation recognizes
the present government OF Russia
without qualifications.
Rome is prepared to appoint an
ambassador to Moscow Immediately
and requests the Russian government
to dispatch a duly appointed ambas-
sador to the Italian capital.
At the same time the Russian for
eign Offices announces that the Rus
sian diplomatic representative in
Rome has received similar notifca-
ton of the formal recognition of his
government.
Further Russian diplomatic VIC
tories are looked for along the line.
Holland and Norway are expected to
follow the example CT England and
Italy quickly. The need of Russian
trade and the established power Of
the workers government has shown
the futility Of the policy of isolation
which European nations have follow
ed until now.

LABOR PARTY IN
BISMARK, N. OAK.

The Executive Committee of the
Farmer-Labor Party of Montana
wired to the Convention to take ac-
ton similar to the program outlined
by Ayres.
Strong Sentiment for Class Party.
After a vigorous debate on the
question. the convention defeated the
minority report Of the committee ad-
vOcating a fve-year moratorium by
a vote of 43 to 25.
The strong showing made by the
advocates of the moratorium and in
dependent farmer-labor political &C
ton was unexpected and lent great
encouragement to the radical dele
gates. Many militant farmers and
old league members watching the
proceedings were much heartened by
the great strength rolled up by the
insurgent faTmer-labor elements and
saw in the result of the vote a posi-
tive evidence that the petty fractional
ism and fights among the would-be
third party Office holders now strang
ling the League are approaching
their end very rapidly.
Delegates May Act.
Present developments tend to indi-
cate that there is little likelihood of
the convention being swung over to
the immediate organization eff

Holland to Follow

THE HAGUE-Recognition of the
de jure Russian government by Hol-
land is a matter of a very short time
it is believed. Since Britain and
Italy have yielded recognition this
busy little republic of manufacturers
and traders can do narght but follow
suit unless it is prepared to lose the
commerce with the great nation of
eastern Europe that is finding its
outlet through the west.
The offer of Soviet representatives
is to make Rotterdam one Of the chief
importing and exporting centers for
Russia and thus put on its feet this
Dutch port which is so paralyzed by
the stranging of the Ruhr district.

economic debacle that has engulfed

The act of recognition raises a
new issue in the April elections
when Fascismo goes before the voters
for the first time. Mussolini will now
attempt to gain the suffrage of lib

FACTS PROMISED
IN FALL CASE
PRESIDENT WILL NAME SPECIAL
COUNSEL OF BOTH REpUR-
LIcANs AND DEMOCRATS
PROSECUTION ORDERED
MEN SUSPECTED OF OIL FRAUDS
TO BE TRIED IN CRIMINAL
COURTS

Washington. - President Coolidge
has decided to employ special counsel
from both the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties to proceed with court
nctiOn as result of evidence adduced
Mt the Senate committee hearings on
the leasing of naval oil leases.
In u statement issued here the Pres
ident declared that counsel will be in
structed to prosecute these cases in
the courts so that If there is any guilt
t will be punished; If there is any
civil liability it will be enforced; If
there is any fraud it will be revealed,
and If there are any contracts which
are Illegal, they will be cancelled"
The President determined upon this
course after being advised by the De-
partlnent of Justice that it was in ac-
cordance with precedents. Explaining
that the Justice Department had been
observing the evidence unfolded in the
Senate committee, the executive in his
statement asserted that every law
will be enforced and every right Of
the people and the government will
be protected"
The formal announcement follows:
Statement by President Coolidge:
at is not for the President to deter
mine criminal guilt or render judg-
ment in several causes. That is the
function of the courts. 1t is not for
him to prejudge. shall do neither.
"But when facts>are revealed to me
that require action for the purpose of
insuring the enforcement of either civil
or criminal liability, such action will
be taken. This is the province of the
executive.
Acting under my direction, the de-
partment Of justice has been Observ-
ing the course of the evidence which
has been revealed at the hearings
conducted by the senatorial commit-
tee investigating certain oil leases
made on naval reserves, which l be-
lieve warrants action for the purpose
of enforcing the law and protecting
the right of the public. This is con-
firmed by reports made to me from
the committee.
"If there has been any crime it
must be prosecuted. If there has been
nny property of the United States H.
legally transferred or leased it must
be recovered.
II feel the public is entitled to
know that in the conduct of such ac-
tions no one is shielded for any party,
political or other reasons. AS
understand, men are involved who be-
long to both political parties and hav-
ing been advised by the department
of Justice that it Is in accord with
former precedents, propose to
employ special counsel of high
rank drawn from both political
parties to bring such actions
for the enforcement of the law. Coun-
sci will be instructed to prosecute
these cases in the courts SO that II
there Is any guilt it will be punished; ;
if there is any civil liability it will
be enforced; If there Is any fraud it
will be revealed; and If there are any
contracts which are Illegal they will
be cancelled. Every law will be en-
forced and every right of the people

American claims of $767. .OOO, 600 against
Russia be validated and that the

TEAPOT DOME was the center OF
L great excitement all last week.
The senate investigation into the lease
Of the naval oil reserve there by AL
bert Is. Fall, then secretary Of the
Interior, to Hurry Sinclair brought out
sensational testimony; and the end Is
not yet, for President Coolidge direct
ed the Department of Justice to watch
the proceedings and to take such &C.
tlon as seemed desirable. Archie
Roosevelt, son of the late president,
started the week out well by telling the
committee of the suspicious circum-
stances that caused him to resign from
the Sinclair company. He said g. d.
Wahlberg, Sinclairs private secretary,
told him S6S,O0O had been paid to the
foreman of Falls ranch in New Mexi-
co. Wahlberg said Roosevelt nisun-
derstood him, but he gave other dam
aging testimony. The committee sum-
moned Fall from the South and also
cabled to Sinclair, now in Europe, to
come back and produce his private
books and papers. This the oil man
said he would do when his business
abroad was finished. Meanwhile Ed
ward Doheny, another oil magnate,
who Is the lessee of naval oil reserve
in California, volunteered to tell the
committee all he could about the
transactions. He said that he was the
man who loaned Fall the 100000
which he used in enlarglng and i'm
proving his ranch. that he did 1t be-
cause he and Fall were old friends, and
that he was innocent Of wrongdoing.
In December Fall told the committee
he had not received money from either
Dolieny or Sinclair.
Senator Walsh informed the senate
that he would propose resolution au-
thorizing the President to institute
suit to annul the leases and to Sc
cure an accounting of all oil taken
from the reserves. He declared that
he would seek to have such proceed
ings conducted Independent of Attor-
ney General Daugherty. He asserted
that there were some features of the
Teapot Dome affair "in connection
with which the attorney general him
self is under some degree of suspicion
and criticism"
Interviewed in Paris, Harry Sinclair
! said the whole affair was bunk and
politics, that he got the Teapot Dome
lease honestly and squarely and that
the government received more than
its full due for 1t.

participation In the League of Nations
or in the world court. Edward Box
himself was the weeks chief witness,
and he fatty refused to disclose the
amount of money he had contributed
to further the contest, holding that the
financing Of his plan was wholly
personal matter He did say that he
alone had paid the expenses of the
contest, that Elihu Root was the only
member of the jury of award whom he
nominated, and that he had left all
the details of the affair to Miss Esther
Lape. That lady also was witness,
but gave the committee little satisfac-
ton. 1t is feared the American pub
lie attaches small Importance to this
particular investigation.
