RUSSIA IS NOW
RESIGNED To
j. 5. VIEW
Realizes There Is Remote
Chance Of Recognition
Now, Says Joffe
BY HEDY VERENA.

Written for International News Service
VIENNA, July 49, Russia is
under no decisions regarding the
attitude of the United States Gov.
eminent toward the Soviet. accord.
ing TO NJ. Joffe, former Soviet Am
bassador to Japan. and does not
expect recognition by the United
States so long as present conditions
prevail.
Ordinarily a compound fracture
of the shinbone is no particular as
set to an interviewer, but In this
instance 1t was my greatest asset.
I was in a hospital here and M.
Joffe was a fellow patient. When
he heard ! was here he granted me
an interview and was carried to
his room on a etretcher.
$50 long as Mr.. Hughes controls
the foreign policy Of the United
States" M. Joffe said. II can see
little chance Of Improvement in our
relations with America. Mr.. Hughes
holds fast to the standpoint that all
property which has been nation.
allied or municipalized in Russia by
the revolution must be restored to
the former owners. So far as /
can Judge Mr.. Hughes takes the
attitude and sticks to the
bourgeois formula of right and
title. 1t Is fundamentally q matter
OF principle; the material interests
involved are comparatively unim-
portant; and Russia cannot waive
a question of principle"
Conditions in Russia today corr
pare very favorabIy with those in
many other European countries, &C.
cording to M. Joffe.
Il know Germany and Austria
pretty well" he said, "and I can
say definitely that things are better
in Russia than in those two cOun-
tries. The permanent pauper ele,
ment that is found in so many Eu.
ropean countries hardly exists any
longer with U.S."
Joffe also declared that iIliteracy,
once SO prevalent in Russia, is
greatly diminished and probably
viii disappear altogether in a few
years. Credit for this condition is
largely given by Joffe to the intel
hgensia who. he declares, have CO.
operated with the bourgeois to i'm
prove educational standards.
Recurring rumors of the collapse
of the Soviet system were emphati-
cally denied by Jorre.
While we do not sacrifice our
principles" he said. I'VE know how
to face facts. Our political policy
adapts itself to circumstances and
we shall hold our ground"

IN ORCHARDS
CHECK ORIENTAL MOTHS

SWEDESBORO, N. j., July Is
The idea of the candle flame which
singed the moth has been carried
out on a broader scale in a big
peach orchard on the Weatherby
farm, south of Swedesboro, where a
scientific and rather spectacular
fight is being waged against the
Oriental moth. A battery of $50
incandescent electric lamps has been
strung in the orchard in plan sub
mitted by Weatherby. The current
is turned on after dark and the
moths flock to the lights. Ingenious
traps have been devised around the
bright lights, and Weatherby, who
Is eighty-two years old, is up at all
hours Of the night making a record
OF his catch and studying the moths.
Orchardists are watching the ex.
pertinent on the Weatherby farm
with keen interest, as they have
been unable to discover any eff.
fective means for checking the de.
structive Oriental moths, which
threaten to ruin the peach industry
in this State. The moths appear
to be immune to the usual sprays
and poisons.

BERLIN REPORTS GAINS.
Business Picking UP. Drop in
Bankruptcies Show.

r! the Associated Press
BERLIN, September 1..-One of
the early beneficial effects of the
Dawes reparation plan on the Ger
man business situation is reflected in
the decreasing number OF bankrupt
cieS and receiverships. which reached
startling proportions in early mid
summer.
The number of bankruptcies official
lE reported during July totaled LIPS
while in August only S95 were re-
corded and there was a decline of
more than so per cent in the number
of receiverships during the same
period.
With money less tight and credit
accommodations showing steady i'm
provement, experts believe that the
worst feature of the economic crisis
has been overcome and predict a steady
revival
