Text Of Letter
Mr.. Hearst's letter to his editors:
We are all pacifists in America,
in that we are all opposed to
war and in favor Of peace for
ourselves and for the world.
The Hearst newspapers have
been opposed to the League Of Ma
tions and TO the World Court Of
the League OF Nations, not be.
cause we were opposed to the
peaceful professions OF the League
and the Court, but because we
realized that those professions
meant nothing when compared
with the actual principles and
practices OF their warlike mem.
bers.
While membership in the World
Court, as everyone now realizes,
would merely have involved the
United States in the conflicts Of
Europe without in any way
promoting the peace OF the world,
still there undoubtedly are some
steps which the United States
could take to secure peace for
iteelf and to advance the cause
of universal peace.
I think the time is right for
our newspapers to advocate the
co-operation OF the English speaks
ing peoples Of the world to main.
tain peace.
No Entangling Alliances
do not mean by this any
''entangling alliance"
In fact, the plan / have in
mind would not even mean as
close a compact as the naval
treaties which require us to pro.
tect England in the possession Of
her subject territories.
The plan that I have in mind
would exclude consideration Of
India, Egypt, and such subject
peoples, and would simply mean
that the United States. Great
Britain, Ireland, Canada, Australia,
New Zealand and South Africa
would cooperate to insure peace
among themelves and, as far as
possible, to maintain the peace
Of the world.
It would not be an offensive
alliance.
1t would not necessarily in.
volve any aggressive act.
1t would be an understanding.
an agreement, a compact to pre-.
vent the parties to the agreement
from making war among them.
selves, and to protect any one and
all Of the parties to the agreement
from the warlike aggression of
others.
There should be an armament
agreement which would provide
not only that the military. naval
and air forces should be kent
DOWN to a certain point, but that
they should be kept UP to q defin.
lite strength and efficiency, in
order to make this cooperative
compact an effective force in the
accomplishment of its objects.
Reasons for Compact
The reasons for limiting such an
understanding such q cooperative
compact-to these English speak.
ing countries are:
First. because language is an i'm.
portaIit element in q workable un.
Outstanding Of this kind:
Second, and chiefly because Of

literature, all these countries have
largely the same ideals and objec.
lives;
Third. because such q combine.

Grounds in August, 1921, with a

Volunteer Censor Finds

WASHINGTON. July 17.--Canon

President Coolidge in a letter sent
yesterday to work to have passed a
law giving federal control over mo-
ton picture companies similar to the

Meanwhile, Canon takes advan-
tage of the present suit against Fa-

companies be broken up, so that "com-
petition may restore some decency to
the motion picture industry, which is
school for crime and immortality"
Chase includes in his denunciation
the Motion Picture Producers and Dis

former Postmaster General Will ID.

FurTierS at Daily

The fur market is in a state of
great excitement. Passersby are
wondering why the picket lines are
going on the job with such fervor.
The usual buzz of activity has in
creased 100 per cent these last few

What are they preparing? Little
groups are debating with each other.
Some are saying, Gold will win cas-
lily" others are saying, "Where do
yeu get that stuff, it's a walkuver
for Goretsky."
A police sergeant decided to in
vestigate. He put two of his best
men on the job. After hours of hard
work the Tanmany stalwarts discov-
cred the truth. The leading spirit in
this new venture is NJ. l.. Maxim,
who has been canvassing the workers
every minute of the day. His work
has shown splendid results.

GREAT TRADE OF
u. S. S. R, GOING
TONEW MARKET
British "Die-Hards" in
Considerable Worry
BY TOM BARKER.

LONDON, (FP) July 17-Despite
the assurances of the British govern
ment that trade can still be carried
on with Soviet institutions, it is OBJ
vious that the latter intend to elimin-
ate the London merchants and agen-
cies as far as possible Instead of
purchasing tea here as formerly, the
Soviet buyers are making their pur-
chases direct in India. Over 100000
lbs of tea have been shipped from
India to Vladivostok in the last two
weeks
A textile mission is leaving for
Australia to purchase wool direct
from the growers, instead of as for
merly from the London wool sales
A similar scheme is under was, l IN
derstand, to purchase rubber on the
same basis, and in this case the Dutch
growers Of Sumatra and Java will
acquire an exceptional customer at
London's expense.
Despite Home Secretary Joyson
Hicks statement that he absolutely
refuses to sacrifice legitimate Rus
sian trade to satisfy the scare mon
gers, and that Russians who are in
London for trading purposes will re-
ceive the same treatment as Germans
or Frenchmen, it would seem that
the Soviets are not going to forget
the ARGOS reid and the suspension Of
diplomatic rela%ons quite so easily.
And despite the efforts of British
diplomacy to prevent Russia from
getting credits in Europe it is obvious
that a far greater competitor for
the financing of Soviet industry is
looming in the United States.

HUGE SUM READY
IN SOVIET union
FOR STEEL MILLS
American Technique,
Machines at Stalingrad

$300,000,000 will be spent in the de-
celopment of the metal industry in
Soviet Union within the next five
years under plans now being drawn
by the Metal Institute at Leningrad
Most of the budget is for new plans,
says the announcement which is made
by a visiting delegation of six Rus
sian engineers, having their head
quarters at the office Of the Amtorg
Trading Corp, 165 Broadway, New
York, which handles exports Of metals
and machinery from the United
States to the Soviet Union.
Visiting America
American engineering methods will
be followed in the expansion pro-
gram. The six Russian engineers are
now visiting American steel and
machinery plants and consulting
American engineers. One or more
of the American engineering firms
may be engaged to serve as consul
tants in Russia under an arrange
ment similar to that made with Col
Hugh L. Cooper for the Dneiper-hy-
dro-electric development, and with
several American firms for the So
Wet coal fields.
"0ur executives and technicians
realize fully that of all the countries
in the world the United States has
most to give us regarding the de-
velopment of metal industries, "said
Fl A. Rottenberg, spokesman for the
delegation.
Construction Of the new tractor
plant at Stalingrad, to have a yearly
output of 10000 tractors, is under
way, said Rottenberg. Machinery
valued at S6,000,000 may be pur-
chased here for the plant.
The metal industry is said to he
the only manufacturing industry in
the Soviet Union with an output still
below the pre-war level. During the
first 6 months of the current Soviet
fiscal year October to March 81
the output showed an increase of
about, 40 per cent over the same
period last year, and was about rs
per cent of the figure for 1918.
During the current year about $780,
100000 will be spent on major con-
struction in the industry
