production in the Soviet Union has
reached the pre-war level and is gain
ing steadily, says Moscow report to
the Russian information bureau in
Washington. Forty million dollars is
being spent this year on improvements
and extensions of the wells, refneries

fields is declared TO be better than II
was before the war. Production has
tripled in the past four years.
Production for June was 731,92S me-
trio tons, breaking all monthly records
since the war. Oil exports for the
first nine months OF the Soviet fiscal

metric tons, an increase OF nearly 5
per cent over the same period last
year. In 1913 the exports for the en-
tire year were $4,000 tons. Exports

GERMANY HOLDS

Seeks Expansion For
Colonial Trade

BERLIN, Aug. 16. The German
cabinet at its meeting last week laid
down the rule for any German dele
gates who may be invited to the
league OF nations coming meeting OF
the advisory committee, that Germany
will not enter the league council II
any other nations are admitted at the
same time, and that Germany must
have the same standing in the coun-
ell as the other imperislist powers
who have colonial possessions.
Not Yet invited.
German cabinet circles are afront-
ed at the fact that Germany has not
vet received even an invitation to at
tend the meeting. If such invitation
is received, the old representatives,

The big industrislist and politicians
are beginning a drive for demanding
Of the other powers more colonial
territories for Germany. They argue
that the Dawes plan cannot be car
ried out unless Germany has new
foreign markets such as only colonies
can give, since her ability to pay rep
arations is based on favorable trade
balance, as pointed out by Owen
Young, director of the Dawes plan.

The colonization scheme has a cor

Daley confesses that the white

General Chang, Manchurian ward lord,
are "as hard lot of white soldiers as

that they have become Chinese citi-

ABYSSINIA HAS
REASON TO FEAR
FOREIGN POWERS
Italy and England in
Play of Aggression

GENEVA, Aug. 16.-Italy has ad-
dressed an indignant note to the
league Of nations council expressing
surprise over the fears Of Abyssinia
that the accord recently reached be-
tween Italy and England over spheres
Of economic influence in that coun-
try gave reason to suspect the mo-
tives of the two powers. The note
denied that Italy has any aggressive
aims in the Ethiopian empire.
Italian Railroad.
But the uncertainty Of the Abyssi-
mans is expected to continue undated
and not without reason. The agree
ment between England and Italy CEN
tered about enterprises that both
have under way or in view in Abyssi-
nian territory. Italy is planning a
railroad from her Red Sea colony to
Italian Somaliland that will run
across a good portion of the Abyssi.
an kingdom. The fascists also want
an economic monopoly of the portion
traversed by the railroad.
England Wants Dam.
England's share Of the agreement
was entered into to further the con-
struction Of huge dam on the Blue
Nile, ostensibly for the improvement
of the Sudan, but actually to aid the
British interests who are engaged in
the planting of cotton in the Sudan
The dam is expected to improve the
cotton crop and allow an extension
Of the growing area.
Bad Memory.
Abyssinia has every reason to worry
about Italy. 1t was not many years
ago that the Abyssinians under the
late King Menelik were forced to
fight back invading Italian columns.
These memories together with the
news from Rome carrying yelled
threats Of imperialist expansion hint
ing quite openly that Africa is to be

probably enhances the fears of the
Abyssinian statesmen.
The note of the Italian government
is expected to come up at the Sep
