ly arrived in the United States accom-
panied by P. B. Lukianov, chief engi-
neer, and A. P. Khorkhov, chief agri-

to reach 100000 metric tons, a post

LONDON, November 4. - Anger
blazed forth in Buckingham Palace
today when King George learned of
the publication of an unexpurgated
edition of Charles Greville's famous
diary which states that the mother of
Queen Victoria had illicit relations
with her private secretary, a gentle
man by the name of Conroy, and that
both planned to confine Victoria until
she consented to a regency with her
mother and her lover in absolute con-

Try To Discredit Story.
The royal family now seeks to dis
credit Greville's diary by casting
doubts on it's authenticity but the en-
cyclopaedia Britannica says that his
journals "are regarded as a faithful
record of the impressions made on the
mind of competent observer, at the
time, by the events he witnessed and
the persons with whom he associated.
Greville did not stoop to collect or
record private scandal.

The extraordinary gains of German

Unskilled Workers Gain.
Compared with 1918, the review
shows, wages of unskilled workers
have increased considerably more than
chose of skilled workers.
In fact German unskil1~d workers
have today slightly better standard
Of living than in 1913 while skilled
workers are about 7 per cent short
of maintaining their prewar purchas-

with 1918 are for skilled workers

More Wage Farmers.

The review aso calls attention to
the increase since 1907 in the proper
ton of wage earners to the total
population of Germany. The number
Of wage earners has increased 80 per
cent while the population increased
only 10.5 per cent. The department
attributes this increase in the proper
ton of workers to factors. 1t says
"In the first place the Versailles
treaty reduced the personnel of the
army and navy to such an extent as
to render nearly 100000 men avail
able for productive employment.
Second, considerable number of peo-
pie whose livelihood was derived solely
from the proceeds of investments
found their holdings wiped out by the
currency collapse and had to accept
wage earning positions. The third
factor is the growing proportion Of
female workers"
At least two Of these explanations
involve reduction in the parasite
classes riding on the backs of German
workers. This would probably have
made possible a real gain in the
status of the German worker if the
peace treaty had not saddled him
with new foreign parasites.
