CHINA GIVES SOVIET
RULE RECOGNITION
Russia RenOunces Payments Due on
Boxer Uprisings Exacted from
China By Russia Under Regime of
Gar.


Picking, June 1.-The Chinese gov
eminent, against the expressed wish
es and threats cf the United States
and French embassies in Picking has
granted de jure recognition to the
Soviet Government, the terms OF
which are in part as follows:
Russia renOUnces payments due on
account cf the Boxer uprisings but
specifies that a sum equal to the pay
ments be used for educational pur-
poses among the Chinese workers.
Both countries agree to suppress
agitation or propaganda directed
against each other. AS China, at the
present time is the happy hunting
ground for anti-Soviet plotters fin
anced by French and American money
this clause means that China will be
obliged under the terms of the agree
ment to show these ccnspiratOrs the
open door.
Mongolia Part of China
Russia recognizes Mongolia as part
eff China and when the terms OF out
standing questions are settled by con-
ference agrees to withdraw the REQ
forces from Mongolia China is to
! have general administrative control
of the Chinese Eastern Railway but
will operate it jointly with Russia
China will have the right to redeem
/ the railway. Determination of the
railways future will be the concern
| of China and Russia to the exclusion
of all other nations.
This agreement is sharp slap II
the face to the capitalist govern
ments who have repeatedly warned
China of the dire consequences thai
would result from Soviet recognition
Japan the United States and France
were the principal DULLES, but it i
we'll known that England, in spite O
its de jure recognition of the Sovie
Republic was also pulling the anti
Soviet wires.
Victory for Moscow
This is a great victory for tn
Soviet government and China being
the first Oriental power to reach al
agreement with the Workers. Repub
lie is given valuabel considerations o
a commercial nature besides winning
q mighty and powerful friend.
China is tremendously rich in nat
Ural resources and is the principa
bone over which the capitalistic dog
of Japan and the United States ar
snarling and showing their teeth. ]
is expected that Japan will soon fol
low China in recognizing Soviet Rus
STA and much mutual recriminatio
is INDUCED in by the capitalist pan
ties eff the japanese Empire over al
lowing poor chaotic China to take tn
lead.

After Placing Rail
On Railroad Track
Bandits Lose Nerve

Wolf Point, June 8.-Repcrts say
that evildoers of a sort unknown at
tempted to hold up the westbound
passenger No. 3 one day last week.
A steel rail was placed across the
track in the hopes no doubt, of de-
railing the engine and delaying the
train while it was robbed. The ban
dts nerve must have petered out
for they failed to appear when the
engineer sighted the obstacle and
stopped his train.
A dragnet was put out by the Great
Northern and numerous arrests made.
The local police held two men here
on suspicion and a charge Of steal
ing a ride. They pleaded guilty to
the charge and were given a jail SEN
tence which was suspended on con-
ditiOn they get out Of town.

A $40 Saving

Clothing experts declare that Fahey-
Brockman Clothes are always unparalleled values
They urge us to raise our prices-because competi-
ton cannot come within ten blocks of them. But
it's our business to sell for $40 less at least That's
why we pioneered the Upstairs Plan of Merchandising
why we banked on great volume, quick turnover
and steady selling every day in the year This
business is built on small profit and super service
basis The customers interests come first and we
prefer to keep it that way.
The Seattle star. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1899-1947, 1924-07-11
Here's the Proof

Visit the stores that sell clothes of quality
for men and young men-go up one street and down
another-vsit them all and you'll find that their
prices begin where Fahey-Brockman Prices STOP
That's not the fault of competition. Competition is
doing the best it knows. Butt is not delivering
service comparable to FaheyBrockman's Hence it
quick turnover. 1t does not enjoy our great buying
power. Therefore it is bound to get more for its
clothes.

Square Garden it will not be McAdoo, and the Smith people alone can come pretty near making this certain; and next to putting their man across, their notion of political bliss is to see the Georgia-New York Californian wiped off the map.
 Moreover, they add to the general funeral talk by announcing that McAdoo is one particular democrat who could not be elected if he were nominated, and any man from Buffalo to Montauk Point can produce table showing how this must be so.
 The republicans talk more about what states LaFollette will carry. thereby smiting their column. than what states 1 Coolidge, will carry-all this. of course, when they are not talking for publica- | tion-and have only the darkest fore bodings should the Wisconsin insurgent succeed in throwing the election into Congress. They are worried about In diana. with its Ku Klux and its fright ened black balance of power, and appre- hensive that Coolidge, the innocent by stander, may be caught in the cross fire of the Watson-New vendetta, which has broken out again as a result of Watson's leaving New off the organiza- tion slate of delegates to the conven- l tion. even though open war was averted Tby splitting the delegation, so that the Postmaster General gets to the Cleve- land show with half vote
 Everybody Seeing Goblins So it goes all around, everybody see | ing goblins. expecting shipwreck and planning more to get to a life-raft when the disaster comes than to win.
 So we have the republicans mourning because ex-service men are likely to re- gard the Coolidge veto as token Of disfavor not compensated for by the insurance bonus they got in spite of l that veto, and the democrats darkly | figuring that the whole thing was a diabolitically ingenious plot to preserve | for the President the support Of the business world, on the theory that he did all he could to stop the tax-boost- ing grant, and at the same time hold the soldier vote by giving the bonus. It is the same way with the tax com plication each side thinks the other IS going to have the best of the argument.
 It's a toss-up which side is the more l lugubrious at the prospect. All IS shadow; if the crepe-hangers could only be marshaled under a single banner their candidate would have a majority that would make the landslide of 1920 1 look like small change.
 One of the Senate janitors was trying to find the owner of a scribbled paper he picked up from the floor in cleaning up-SenatOrs are always dropping mem Oranda and such things-which reads ::
 And in the gathering gloom A wolf sits bowling on a broken tomb,
