in relationship between the United

of scheming persons to overthrow the

holds, would thus be morally respon-

No Lives Are Lost But

PETROFAvLOVAK, Kamchatka, U.
S. S. r., Dec. 29.-Layers of gray lava
have transformed this city into an
appearance of death, as a result of
eruptions Of two volcanoes, Montnov-
sky and Avatchinskayasopka There
was no loss of life, but great damage
to property.
When great masses of molten earth
and lava was poured onto the city
the inhabitants fled to the hills, while
the earth trembled and groaned.
Previous eruptions have occurred in
the years 1927, 1887 and 1855.

oppositions within the party the Of.
fects OF this fact showed themselves
Immediately.
Nations Attitudes Change.
"All those who are in continued con-
tact with the foreign states could i'm
mediately observe an alteration in the
attitude towards the Soviet state after
the decisive events within our party
were over. The press of our enemies
showed their malice openly While the
crisis was shaking our party, and they
did not conceal the fact that they
hoped for the worst for us. The whole
well OF malicious and bad will broke
down Immediately after the complete
unity and solidarity Of our party mani
tested itself. The last events that
happened within our party are like
great national victory.
Economic Revival.
"Of the greatest Importance are our
remarkable successes in the field Of
our economic revival. To every one
who observed from the near distance
the difficulties of our grain export in
the last year the difference in our po-
sition during the present year over
last year is very clear, and especially
remarkable. The financial difficulties,
the difficulties that were connected
with trade balance, payment balance
and the internal budget balance were
also overcome with great rapidity,
altho, under terrible stress. Everyone
who lives in Soviet Russia, and es-
ipecially one who stays in the bust
ness life of the economic organs Of
the Soviet State, can clearly see the
consolidation and the internal regula-
ton of the Soviet order.
Crisis Reveals Strength.
81 can say for myself that never
felt this fact so strongly as at this
time after the successful overcoming
of the party crisis, and the similarly
successful overcoming of the difficult
ties of the finance and trade prob
lens. Certainly our household is eco
nomical We have to limit our ex-
penditures as much as possible. But
the balance between income and ex-
penditure is there. The active trade
and payment balance is also there,
and our money standard is unshak-
ingly solid. The present budget is
made with the greatest carefulness.
And it is just the study Of this budget
a
dence concerning the normal develop
ment Of our Soviet State.
Enemies Harmless.
CAS- we see on the one hand, the
solid and steady growth, 80 We see
on the other hand the powerlessness
Of our enemies to do us any harm.
The majority Of the government party
in England gave expressions more
than once to the desire to do away
with us. The English government
now is more cautious. But even il
this were not the case the strongest
assault against us would miss the
mark. Even if England did not at
present have the internal difficulties
that give her her present will to peace,
then 1t would be impossible for her
to strike a very harmful blow. In
world economy the Soviet Union is a
necessary link and the other states
know very we'll that they need our
participation in the world economy.
They see the consequences on the eco
nomic as well as on the political field.

REED ADJOURNS
 PRIMARY PROBE
Windup in Inquiry Is Filled
 With Action

Chicago, Aug. 6. RAWinding up it's inquiry into Illinois recent mill lion dollar primary. the senate cam paign funds committee yesterday heard some frank statements and serious charges and had still anoth- CT witness challenge its authority.
 In announcing adjournment of the committee subject to his call, Sena- tor Reed. Democrat, Missouri, the chairman, said 1t probably would be some time before the investigators assembled again, but added that they were ready to go into any seri- ous charges of primary irregulari- ties.
 Frank L. Smith, chairman of the Illinois commerce commission, Dan- tel J. Schuyler, counsel for Samuel Insull, Chicago utilities magnate, who contributed heavily to Smiths successful campaign for the senate; George F. Stafford, superintendent of the State Anti Saloon league and Morris Eller, Republican boss of Chicago's twentieth ward, were the principal witnesses at the final ses- sions.
 Schuyler told of disbursing s32,- 915.1s for Insull on behalf of Smiths candidacy and of giving IsS,600 of his own money to the Smith campaign fund, but he de- clined 70 say whether he had dis tributed large sums for Insull to can- Ididates other tran those in the race for the senatorial nomination.
 Upon Schuyler's fiat refusal to answer Senator Reed told him the committee would report his case to the senate with view to contempt proceedings. Similar notice had been given to Samuel Insull, States Attorney Robert E. Grove, of Cook county, and Thomus w. Cunningham treasurer of the republican state central committed in Pennsylvania, all of whom declined to answer cer- tain questions.
 Recalled as the first witness of the day, Smith frankly told the com mittee that the had understood while the campaign was in progress that Insull was contributing to his campaign fund and that he had stat ed in a speech at Springfield, H., that he saw no reason why he should not do 70.
 Saffard was taken over wide ground by Senator Reed and con- ceded- that the Illinois Anti-Saloon league seeks to influence primaries, elections and the legislature. Admit ting that he is a paid lobbyist" working for dry laws and against wet ones, the league official de- clared his undertaking was "as hon. orable work as any man could en- gage in."
 While questioning the right of the committee to inquire into that subject, Stafford states that his sal ary was $6,o00 year.
 Charges that County Judge Ed mund Jarecki and Election Commis- sioner Czarnecki appointed "excon- victs and gunmen" as election judges and clerks in his ward were made to the committee by Eller who is identified with the powerful Grove

station here. Excellent weather conditions favored the ship on both days. A. visit to the Bangor, Me-. station had been planned but was cancelled yesterday when it became known that instead the dirigibIe would turn its nose southward to- day toward its Lakehurst, N. J., hangar.
 The results of the tests will not be known officially until announced by the navy department in Wash ington but 1t was understood that the experiments with the station here had established that bearings sent out over land were equally ac- curate with those which guide ships at sea. This was the purpose of the calibration.

Barrett Republican organization of Cook county.
 Senator Reed asked for a list of the "ex-convicts and gunmen" and in response Eller sent in a score or more of names late in the day and they were admitted to the record as part of his testimony. Eler told the committee that he had "a wonderful organization, the best in Chicago" in his ward and that is was due to this that he was able to poll an "almost unanimous vote'' for his ticket.
 Just before the inquiry was closed, Allen F. Moore. campaign manager for Smith filed statement with the committee in which he declared that s550,000 could have been spent legitimately in the recent primary on behalf of a single candidate in order that he might reach the two and one half million voters of the state.

MELONS VISIT
 SEEMS IMPORTANT
He COniers With Mussolini
 and Volpi

Rome, Aug. 6 GP - Although Andrew W. Mellon, secretary of the United States treasury, frequently has announced that his visit to Flu rope is purely for the purpose of rest, the belief prevails in official circles here that before his depar- ture from Rome important matters will be discussed by MT. Mellon with Italian officials.
 Mir. Mellon has had talk lasting for half an hour with Premier Mussolini, Count Volpi, the Italian minister of finance, and Under-Sec- retary of Foreign Affairs Grandi being present at the time. The visit of the American secretary to the fascist premier and his conversa- tion with him are declared to have been informal, but 1t is asserted that another meeting between MT. Mellon and Signor Mussolini will occur within a few days, and at 1t the conversation will be more de- tailed. particularly as regards f. nancial matters.
 It is also regarded as probable that there will be a further meet ing between Secretary Mellon and Count Volpi and other Italian Off, cials,. ostensibly of an unofficial character.
 Mir. Mellon and the premier touched upon general conditions in Italy and in the United States dur ing their talk. Neither Mussolini nor Count Volpi made any remarks or explanation concerning Italy's financial condition or aspirations, andN Mir. Mellon did not ask any questions concerning these matters. The debt settlement agreement be- tween Italy and the United States was touched upon in purely This torical fashion" The conversation otherwise ranged from the weather to general remarks concerning po- litical conditions and the fascist regime.
 The Italian government is to give an official dinner to the American secretary while he is in Rome.

pacts immediately after the closing national assembly at Versailles. While official circles are most re- served on the subject, such an in- tenton is not denied.
 It is understood that the govern ment will not oppose reservations being tackled to the ratification, notably .on the question of pay ments. It is expected that the final decision on the matter will be taken at Mondays cabinet meeting.
 It is known that the finance com mittee of the chamber of deputies is ready to expedite matters. Prem fer Poincare, having obtained sane tion for his new taxes, his sinking fund plan, and special arrange issue new votes to purchase foreign currencies for the stabilization of the franc, will, if the ratification project works out, and it appears there is every reason to believe 1t will, will find himself at the end of next week with his entire pre- liminary financial plans out of the way and the debt question as well. This would leave the way clear for him to plan further measures defi- | nitely to restore the country's f. nances during the parliamentary recess.
 It is regarded as significant that M. Berenger, ambassador to, the United States and who negotiated the Washington debt pact. has ar ranged to sail next Saturday to re- sume his duties at Washington. READ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS
