MoSCoW-(By MaiD Mr.. Lans-

lists about his Impressions in Russia.

general impression is this laborlng
masses Of the Soviet Union are in
tensely working every day, trying to
build new forms of life. One can
notice still that there is not enough
of modern machinery, but this is the
fault of the western countries.
IF the lazy gentlemen OF London,
in whose hands lies the fate Of Eng
land, could have seen the heroic eff
forts of Soviet workers for the sake
of reconstruction of their country,
they would understand the Stiffness
and narTow-mindedness Of their policy
towards the Soviet Union.
Workers Use PaIatial Resorts.
"The health resorts and houses of
rest in the Soviet Union are the best
in the world. l saw in my life many
health resorts, but they are, as it was
in old Russia, accessible only for mil
lionaires. 1t is real joy to see that in
Russia health resorts are used by
workmen, by whose hands in fact
they have been built. The treatment
of patients is excellent and leaves
nothing to be desired"

WASHINGTON, Oct. Ex-senator

voters a tabulation of the 279 speeches

lief made in congress during the re-
cent session of congress.
A very large proportion Of the 1900
pages Of the Congressional Record

voted to this discussion OF distress
in American agriculture and what
should or should not be done by the
federal government about 1t.
Nye has also compiled list Of io4
books and magazine articles or ~

"The farm problem" he says m q
letter to his constituents, is stin che
unfinished work, and will demand the
first attention Of the second session OF

in December. Farm legislation is the
paramount question now before The

Pravda Says Powers
Intervention Into
China Leads to War

MOSCOW (By Mail Referring to
the present political situation in
China and rumors Of a foreign inter.
vention, Pravda, in a leading article,
says:
"As it is known Great Britain, If
not to count Japan, is considered a
most interested power in China; she
occupies the first place by her trade
with China. English are in control
Of Chinese customs with English CAPT
tai. Great Britain is one of the big
gest creditors Of China and has got
the best concessions. She plays the
first violin in the Pekin diplomatic
corps.
This dominating position of Eng
land is based on series Of treaties
forcibly imposed upon China. 1t is
not surprising, therefore, that the ma
tional revolutionary movement try
ing to overthrow all unequal treaties
affects first of all and mostly England.
"But what to do? To declare war?
1t is not so simple as IT was in 1S41
and 1861. To organize a new crusade
of all interested powers as in 1900,
when, under pretext Of the suppress
sion of the Boxer rebellion, the new
chains were imposed upon China by
the notorious Boxer protocol?
"That would be the best way But,
unfortunately, other powers do not
see it,"
Pravda concludes by saying that in
spite of all denials deals are going on
between the powers and there is pos
sibility of an open intervention which
may lead to a new world war.

German Rail Bonds to
Be Sold in America to
Get Preparations Cash

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-American
investors will probably soon be offer
ed an issue of bonds secured by the
German national railways, but thus
Ear the bankers have not asked the
state department to approve the sale.
Reports from Paris that the French,
Belgian and British governments had
approached Secretary Kellogg for his
approval of floating the loan in Amer
lea are denied by Kellogg.
He does not deny that the bonds
will be sold here, but on the con-
trary he points out that the Dawes
plan for regulation of German repara-
ton payments contains a scheme for
bonding the German railways in or
der to raise cash for PREPARATIONS.
Germany is not paying over to the
conquering powers any more, thus
far, than she is borrowing in the
United States. Bigger payments UNI
der the Dawes plan are due. Bond
ing the national railways of Germany
is one of the resources yet dnspent.
No obstacles to the transaction are
in sight. when the allies give the
word. American investors will pre-.
sumably absorb the bonds quickly
when the big banks offer them.

MOSCOW warns

Beware of Stories of
Soviet "Uprisings''

MOSCOW, Sept. 1S-(By Mail) -
The press of the Soviet Union pub
fishes a report from Vienna. The
report is from a reliable source and
concerns the close cooperation be-
tween Bucharest and Warsaw for the
purpose OF organizing an anti-soviet
campaign in the European and Amer
lean press. Warsaw will take over
the leadership of this campaign.
Made In Warsaw.
Material is being fabricated in the
Polish foreign ministry concerning an
alleged movement of the opposition
in the G. P. of the o. S. S. R. to
bring about change Of government.
The documents" which are in prep
aration in Warsaw will be handed
to the Roumanian government which
will then publish them in the press.
According to pre-arranged plan,
this task will be carried out by the
war ministry under the leadership Of
the one-time poet and present fas-
cist Octavio COCA.

There also was at the meeting the
Millersville String Orchestra that
added to the atmosphere, and they
played all the old-time pieces. The
farmers called for honest government
and il they could not have it they
would have it, if they had to shoulder
gun. Many new members were en-
rolled and hundreds of subs gotten for
the Millersville Press, which the
farmers want to make daily. There
were two sessions, morning and after
noon, and the speaking lasted until
o'clock in the evening.
Hundreds have taken back their sig
natures in favor of the tests and will
resist until this fraud is shown up
At this meeting the association had
bought a COW that had passed the test
twice, and they tried to keep her alive
until Saturday, but the COW died Fri
day night. Another COW was there
that was to be killed, and the doctor
that examined her said that she was
as sound a COW as ever walked on
four feet.
Thousands Of leaflets have been
printed and other reading matter,
which has been distributed all over
the state. DR.. Hall OF Oxford was one
OF the speakers that called for the
farmers to stick and issued call for

All thru Pennsylvania thousands Of
the best herds of cows have gone
down under the T. b. and area tests.
This had driven hundreds OF farmers
out of the dairy game and sent their
children to work for other big farm
ers and into the cities near by. The
state was to pay them for all the COWS
that were killed, but It took months
before they received their money, and
then only half Of what they paid for
the cows. They were promised SOS
for each COW, but they never received
over $40 to $50. Most Of the cows
were sold for beef. Very funny that
cows having the r. b. should be

IMPERIALISM
Latin-Americans Have
Illusion of Rivalry

WASHINGTON, oct. Latin
American diplomats in Washington
are eagerly watching the British i'm
perial conference soon to meet in
London, to see whether it will grant
Canada permission to have a diplo-
matte representative in the American
capital. The believe that If Canada
wins this right she will take seat
also in the Pan-American Union, and
then the beginning of the end Of
Washington's boss-ship of Latin
America viii be at hand.
Canadian Bankers In South.
Canadian nationalists of the British
variety complain that the influence of
the United States is greater today in
Canada than is the influence of Brit
ain. French Canadian nationalists, on
the other hand, insist that Canada
must further loosen her bonds with
the mother country.
Meanwhile the British-Canadian
financial power, embodied especially
in the Royal Bank of Canada, has in
yaded Cuba and other Latin-American
republics in competition with Wall
Street banks. In Cuba both the Ma
tional City Bank and the Royal Bank
of Canada serve the American sugar
trust, but their interests are not
wholly identical.
The diplomats from Caribbean and
South American countries are hopeful
that if Canada breaks into the Pan
American Union the trade advantages
Of that organization will stimulate the
Canadians. to establish an anti-Wash-
ington policy and program. II the
two northern countries can be played
off against each other, the Latins
think, Latin American may get a
chance.
When the Pan-American Union was
first started, Canada was informally
assured that seat would be ready for
her whenever she could persuade Lon
don to let her occupy it. Premier
King is ready to demand permission.
