Grain Production in
Soviet Union Raiser

MOSCOW, u. s. S. R., June "a
Previous calculations as to this years
crops in Soviet Russia have been con-
firmed by the first full figures, an
executive of the bureau said. Under
the Russian "five-point" system, the
condition of the winter grains is given
at S.3, or approximately S.S per cent
above the average.
The Commissariat for Agriculture
has pointed out that on May Is, 1924,
winter crops were estimated at 3.3,
but because of subsequent drought the
condition at harvest time was only
rs.
Because of the late spring this year
reports on the spring crops were
available on May Is for only about
40 per cent of the entire planted area.
In these areas the condition was re-
ported 34 to 3.5, or is to 20 per cent
above the average.

Yellow drivers receive 33 1-3 per

from 40 to 30 per cent. Many of the

PHILIPPINES
NOW CALLED
Jour EMPIRE
Imperialists Ignore
Pledge of Freedom

NEW YORK, June 24.-The Carmi
Thompson mission appointed by Coo
Mdge to investigate" the Philippine
Islands has excited much discussion
in which, though the United States
pledged independence to the Filipinos
2S years ago, much as England did
with Egypt, like the latter the islands
are treated as part of "our empire"
Bankers Say "our Possessions"
The Hartman National Bank here,
in an advertisement in the New York
! World, says: "Col. Carmi Thomp-
son is now enroute to investigate, and
will make an unbiased report to the
president. In other words, we are
becoming alive to the economic pos
sibilities that have been slumbering
in these far-off possessions of ours,
and realize there are big revenues to
be derived to offset the many years Of
big expenditures. The Islands are
fully alive to the opportunities for
prosperity that will follow the influx
Of American capital"
The Hartman bank says also:
REP. Robert L. Bacon is doing fine
work for the Philippines in congress.
All good citizens should read the bill
Mr.. Bacon has Just introduced in
the house. It denotes careful
study of existing conditions in the
Philippines. He has personally stud
fed the rubber, sugar, hemp, oil, cop
per and other potential developments
in the Islands and has also studied
the political questions, as well az
shipping conditions"
sour Empire" Says Roosevelt.
Illuminating data on the attitude of
American financial interests toward
this situation is found in a New York
Times article by Nicholas Roosevelt,
who recently visited the Philippines.
He begins by asking: "Is our Philip
pine Island empire In the Pacific
worth keeping? And If so, what
should we do with IT? Then he says
that: ''It was the report last win.
ter that rubber could profitably be
grown in the islands that first awak-
ened the American people to the real.
ization that the Philippines might be
of economic value to the United
States"
Roosevelt echoes the hope that Col
Thompson will make the people here
understand that the Philippines are
treasure islands, and that "the Unit
ed States will make the most of its
right to develop this great empire
to which 1t has fallen heir"
"our Domain" Says Congressman.
Representative Wainwright, repub
lican of New York, thinks that a com.
mfttee from both houses of congress
instead of the present merely military
dictatorship of General Wood, should
inspect the administration of the IS
lands every two years. He says:
1.-THE responsibilities Of congress in
relation to this portion Of our domain,
make it expedient that it should main
tain close contact with them and have
its own sources of information. Con
gress should have an insight thru
eyes of it's own into all matters Oh
importance"
These possessions "of ours" are
now called "our Philippine empire
and "our domain" in true imperiahst
fashion.
