Hopes
of Reparations
Relief Smashed
Word of Burdens Imposed by
Dawes Experts Lends Ap-
prehension to Nation as it
Awaits Report.
BY Universal Service.

Berlin, April 6.-Germany awaits
the publication OF the decision Of the
Dawes expert commission in the
mood of one about TO be sentenced.
II is generally realized that this Is
the last chance TO clear up the Euro
pean mess, and that also the decision
will either make or break Germany
itself.
But the high hopes with which tho
Germans greeted the American lead
ership IN the work Of the experts
have been smashed by the consistent
reports about burdens which tho ex
perts have been said to have imposed
on Germany.
II IL now feared that General
Dawes may have proved another
wilson, and that the French have
carried their points with the experts
as they did at the Versailles peace
conference.
Even IL Germany could meet the
burdens. 1t is not believed that
France will carry out the political
conditions Of the report % that the
Germans practically despair Of any
ultimate benefit.
One Ray OF Hope.
Only one ray of hope remains and
that is that the decisions themselves
may not prove as bad a. heralded.
However. a large section Of political
opinion here believes that Germany
Is willing 10 discuss any possible So
luton on the basis OF the report of
the experts while some believe that
Germany will accept the report for
the simple reason that II can not do
anything else.
There Is no doubt that Germany
has become very modest In its ex.
pectations following the failures of
active and passive resistance against
the crushing force of France. The
present government has shown genu-
inc efforts 10 clear up the mess with
in Germany itself and get on its
feet. Il Is known that high govern
ment officials. including Foreign
Minister Stresemann. while disap-
pointed at the economic burdens and
particularly by the payments I'm.

MODERN FARMING
GIVES BIC BOOST
TO RUSSIAN CROPS
Society for Technical Aid
Reports Progress
az the Federated Press. J

NEW YORK. Nov. 2. IN odern
farming methods used by American
agriculture communes in Russia are
producing remarkable results, accord
ing to the reports OF the Society for
Technical Aid to Soviet Russia, which
has sent Is agricultural units to the
grain fields Of the labor republic.
Deep blowing is one Of the secrets
Of the Americana success and this is
accomplished with tractors. The deep
blowing is patterned after the methods
used in American dry farming" and
has produced good crops where the
drought proved fatal to the hopes Of
peasants using the old fashioned Rus
sian plows which. did little more than
skim the surface.
Some Of the comparative crop pro-
duction figures furnished by the Tech
nical Aid society, speak for them
selves. In one Don Region commune,
where the drought ruined other farms
the number of pools per dessiatin
for the commune and the sverige Mu-
jik farm compares as follows "a pood
equals SO pounds, dessiatin 21s
acres): Rye, So pools for the Ameri-
can commune. Al for the average mu-
jik; winter wheat, 92.5 pools as com
pared to AT; spring wheat, 40 as com
pared to 4.6; barley, is to ~ Other
Don communes give results that are
not quite so surprising but still aver
aging more than twice those achieved
by the average peasant. Similar con-
ditions prevail in the Tambov guber-
mia.
The satisfactory crops of the COM
mune farms, organized by the techni-
cal aid society have taught the pea
SAINTS the advantage of large mschin-
ery-working, collective agricultural
units, says the society. The lesson
is driven home to the surrounding pea
SAINTS by evening schools and lectures
on agricultural subjects, but the ar
gument which sells the big idea is the
success of the communes' own opera
lions.
A total Of $4,000, 900 has been put
into the agricultural communes from
America.

John 3. shleIded By Walsh

Of oil men are discussing how it hap
pens that Walsh and Adams can get
away with such bare-faced blocking
of the investigation whenever it led
up to 26 Broadway.
From what is now disclosed, the
Standard Oil company of Indiana, the
Midwest Refining company, the Mid
west Oil company and the Prairie Oil
and Gas company were deeply involv-
ed in the Teapot steal The Standard
Of Indiana and the Midwest interests
were involved up to its neck by half
ownership of the Sinclair pipeline
built in pursuance of the lease to take
oil from Teapot Dome, around which
lease the whole scandal arose.
Standard In on Steal.
Incidently, this pipeline is likewise
to take oil from the Salt Creek field
controlled by the Standard, the royal
ty oil of which was sold by Secretary
Fall, now indicted for conspiracy af-
ter being forced to resign from Cool
idge's cabinet over the Teapot af-
fair, to the Sinclair gang. But in that
sale, along with Fall, was the Standard
Oil, as half owner of the capital stock
of the Sinclair Crude Oil Purchasing
company.
The oil investigation committee run
by the democratic friend of LaFollette,
Walsh, labored very hard to con-
vince the public that it was follow
ing out every shred Of testimony that
promised to yield the truth. But the
ugly fact now appearing is that where
ever a trail of suspicious led up to
the door of Standard Oil, Senator
Walsh Immediately drew red herring
across It and sent the inquiry off on
another scent. Senator Adams OF Colo
RADIO, was Walsh's assistant in this
business.

This is clear from the fact that as
carly as February, 1924, the attcn-

not only Sinclair, but the Standard

the Midwest Refining and the Mid.
west Oil companies, had conspired
to defraud John Leo Stack OF Denver
over this very Teapot Dome lease,
Further, in the course Of the testi-
mony before the Walsh committee,
the charge was made that the real con-
spiracy, out OF which the lease came
like mama from heaven from Albert
Fall to Sinclair, was a secret meeting
at Mexis, Texas, followed by others
IN New York.
These conspiratorial meetings were

were later arranged between Score
tary Fall and the oil ring, including
the Standard.
LaFoIlette's Darling Covers Crime.
Strangely, Walsh. who has elevated
himself to national and even inter
national fame by passing himself off
as a great and thrice-righteous cru
sader against oil steals, ignored this
information and covered his failure to
investigate the Standard Oil with
lame excuses about these charges be-
ing made by blackmailers.
All mention of the Rockefeller in
terests in the Teapot steal was Sc
dulously kept out Of the press by
Walsh, the Montana darling Of La
Toilette. Many people who at the
time wondered at the exposure how
Rockefeller was lodging investigar
ton, will now look to Walsh to tell
them.
1t even appears that Walsh had the
investigation hastily ended to avoid
developing too much evidence against
Standard Oil. And when the two at

were looking thru the record, they dis

Upon trying to get in touch with
those charged to be at the Mexia,

every one of those shielded by Walsh
was out of the country, having re.
moved themselves beyond the juris'
