NEW YORK, July 12.-The Ku

Reports from the south and west
are that klansmen, under the STINT
lus OF the advertising given the
organization BY the New York con
test, are renewing Organization CT
forts and that greater numbers of
recruits than ever before enrolled
in similar time have been listed
within the past 10 days.

New Jersey, West Virginia,

it or even in adding to its strength.

FRENCH MILLERS HIT

By the Associated Press
PARIS, September 19.-The gov
ernments campaign against the high
cost OF living is beginning to arouse
opposition. The Millers' Association
OF the Paris region, according to lie
Matin, has adopted a resolution pro-
testing against the government or
Ger raising the boiling rate of flour
to Is per cent for the whole of
France. The millers insist that by
reason of the bad Summer this rate
can only be attained by adding bran
to the flour. The weekly session of
the cabinet council yesterday for the
second consecutive Thursday was en-
tirely devoted to discussion of
means of bringing down the prices of
necessities Among other remedies it
was decided to close the bakeries
every Sunday and butcher shops one
day each week.
The council also decided to reduce
duties on condensed milk 66 per cent,
rice and barley 90 per cent, dressed
pork so, cheese so. butter 60 and
vegetables and preserves so per cent.

rulers produce a forced balance of
trade" in their own favor and duly
capitalize it, at home and abroad, as
evidence of the successful economic
conduct of the government. All trade
with Russia must be conducted with
the government. which has made it a
government monopoly.
Trade With Germany.
Soviet Russia's imports. as before
the war. are coming primarily from
Germany. which sold her $25.000,000
worth last year. Great Britain's sales
to the Soviet amounted to about
s1S,250,0o0 in 1923. The United States
Government imposes no restrictions
of any kind upon trade with Russia.
The Department of State does not
expect to be bombarded with any
more requests from Congress to
recognize Soviet Russia. The Borah
subcommittee, which held hearings
on the subject on. January 81. % and
% of this year, has never submitted
a report. The impression has taken
root that the evidence submitted by
Secretary Hughes and his associa ties
on the question of Soviet propaganda
in the United States was so over
whelming that Senator Borah and his
associates are satisfied America is on
strong ground in refusing to counte
nance the Moscow regime.
Entrec in Europe.
If France follows Great Britain in
recognizing Russia the bolshevists
will have the diplomatic entree pretty
we'll throughout Europe. France is
hesitating mainly on account of So
Wet propaganda in that country

never ceases to lay, the strongest en-
phass with regard to this country.

IN RUSSIAN POLICY
Recognition of Soviet De-
ponds on Adherence to Rules
Set Forth by Hughes.
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

America is standing pat on the
question of the recognition OF Soviet
Russia. Great Britain's conclusion OF
treaty with the Moscow government
and the French cabinets prospective
action in the same direction have had.
and Will have. no effect on the attitude
of the United States. Indeed, If all the
rest of the world sees fit to recognize
the bolSheviSt regime. our Government
will stand aloof just as long as the
Soviet rejects the conditions Secretary
Hughes has laid down. Those condi-
lions are unchanged. They call. pri-
marily. for the recognition by Russia
of private-property rights, as regulated
by international law: for the acknowl-
edgment of the debt which Russia
owes to the United States Treasury;
for the restitution of the contiscated
property of American citizens. and
above all, for the abandonment of
revolutionary propaganda in this
country.
The Coolidge administration affirmS
that it sees neither sign nor hope of
fulflllment of our irreducible terms.
Indeed, all the reliable information
that Washington gets from Russia is
that the extremists have the upper
hand and are managing affairs ruth
lessly.
