the Third lnternationale, pread Der of world revolt and that sort of bosh, who Is charged with eonduet- ing his "Internatlonale" contrary to the wishes of the soviet, is facing a possibility of being busted from further connection with the Rcd government, he having been sort of loauacious Boswell behind the scenes and who is credited with having routed Leon Trotsky in tho lost political disagreement in Mos COW, krassin complains Zlnovieff's meaningless calls for revolt" have given sct-backs to amicable relations with the governments in England, France and the United States.
 If q crude oil prize is being dunglcd before the eyes of diplomats as d snare, 1t will not have been the first time that material gains have figured in diplomatic language. The northern half of Saghalin Island | has been q fcster on one interna- iional body polite ever since the World War, and should Japan gain control of such enormous oil re- sources, and our supply being used ID rather steadily, the time might come when WIG would not have what the other fellow has in sufliciency. Japan seized the northern half Of this island after q massacre Of suo- iects on the mainland of Siberia. The Wilson administration protest ed. demanding that the Japanese evacuate the northern half of the island, The Japanese government later became excited about school and alien laws in California, and diplomats believed this was smoke screen to get the United States to withdraw the demands about evacu- atjon of saghalicn. At the Washing ton arms limitation conference Sec retary Hughes induced the Japanese to agree to withdraw, under certain nrovisos and "other settlements wherein lay the joker. .and the Japanese recently on the strength o' them concluded treaty with Mos' COW.
 The oil and coal deposits of the island were promised by Russia te tho Sinclair interests. Moscow has asserted it will cancel these con sessions because certain parts Of the contract, it is charged, have not beer carried out by the Sinclair interests
