KERENSkY former premier of Rus
STA and Ramsay Mcdonald, first La
Dor Premier of England, are visiting
the United States now. 1t is pass
ing strange that these two former
big men in the labor movement do
not dare to address a public meeting
in any part of the United States.
They are afraid of the IabOring man
they were supposed to represent.
Kerensky was the man who was
praised by the prO-British press in
all parts of the world after he as
sumed control in Russia. That was
an indication to the people at home
/ that there was something wrong
with him so they kicked him out and
put Lenin and TrOtsky and the Sow
cts in power. The rich concessions
ElihG Root and John SpargO had re-
/ ceived from Kerensky were then
cancelled and the lying press of the
world brutally but vainly tried to
overthrow the first government in
the history of the world controlled
/ by the farmers and workers. The
result is that while the name of Len
i'll is the hope and inspiration of the
tOiling masses of all lands, Keren-
sky gets slapped in the face even
at the select well guarded parties
where he dares to show himself in
America.

L was glad to see a letter m the
News sometime ago condemning Nep-
ot1sm or duplication of jobs to suit
certain individuals. l now hear a re-
port that one deputy in the court
house, not content with drawing easy
money as deputy himself, wants to
put a member of his family on as de-

that the farmers sons and daughters
who have been sent away to acquire
an education at great expense, should
be given chance before this form
OF parasitism should be allowed to be

BRITISH PL A n
FILM TAX

LONDON. Jan. 27.-The placing
of an exhibition tax on all foreign
films for the encouragement of the
British film industry is the latest
suggestion made here with a view
to combating the American movie
menace"
This proposal was urged by Sir
Oswald Stoll, one OF England's
leading vaudeville and movie thea
ter proprietors and a big sharehold-
er In a moving picture production
company here, during a meeting Of
shareholders here.
II believe that the promotion of
a considerable supply of British
films is in the best interests Of the
country" said Sir Oswald.
'I believe the best way to pro-
mote such a supply is by placing
an exhibition tax CT so cents a reel
on non.British films, payable by
the exhibitor, the proceeds of the
duty to be used solely to promote
a constant supply Of good British
films"

international News servies

LONDON, Jan. 27.-The FIRST
month OF 1927 has passed with the
bright prospect Of far better days
ahead for the industries Of Britain.
The coal miners have restarted
work with a terrific punch. Coal
constitutes the basic industry Of the
country. Frank Hodges, secretary
OF the International Miners Fedora
ton, who knows as much as any
man about the Industry, predicts
that, withs hard work, British coal
trade can be won back, and that q
substantial move towards recovery
and prosperity will be made within
the next two years.
Engineering, which has suffered
badly through the coal stoppage,
looks forward to a Keen revival.
The withdrawal Of short-time re-
strictions in the cotton trade IL
bound to bring about a big improve
nlent in Lancashire.
South Wales has never started Q
year under such favorable auspices.
Owners say that the stoppage OF
their supplies during and after the
strike gave their coal the greatest
boost 1t ever had owing to the failure
Of foreign substitutes.
In the Welsh anthracite area
gigantic developments are taking
place, and this coal field. today the
smallest IN Britain. is expected to
rank as one Of the wealthiest and
most important in the country by
the end of the year.
In the tinplate, copper spelter and
nickel industries prospects for 1927
are particularly bright.

FEWER TOURISTS BUT
 MORE DIVORCE SEEKERS

PARIS, March 25. (P)-The rising franc and general hard times in France have recreased the tourist invasion, but the number of Ameri- can couples seeking divorces at the hands of French courts rises steadi- ly.
 In 1926. according to one of the leading American lawyers here, 2SO American couples were divorced by Paris courts, just 16O more than in 1925. Versailles, Biarritz and Nice showed similar increases.
 The department of the Lozere is the happiest in all France, if statis- tics are to be believed, for not a sin gle divorce application was made tere during the year. The Marquis de Chamburn, American citizen by reason of his descent from Lafayette. represents that department in the Chamber of Deputies.
