ceived for about $50 from the famous
Sklarek Brothers, has proved too much
for Gustav Boess, chief mayor of the
city of Berlin, and his resignation is
expected.
1.-THE Sklarek Brothers have swindled
Berlin of at least $2,500000, according
to tn city fathers, and have corrupted
many leading citizens. The Sklareks
are bankrupt and able to pay about S
cents on the dollar.
The mayor explained his wife had
heard that the Sklareks were selling
furs cheap. When he learned the price,
he told his colleagues, he realized it
was too cheap and Immediately had
given $240 more to charity.
The city fathers said no more. Pub

said the rest. "BoeSs must go" was the
cry.

A Nation Now i'm Exile

/ Some other nations, mostly those Dor
dering Soviet Russia, have adopted an
other system. They practically oblige
Russian enligres to take up their nat
uralization If these want to remain in
| the country. This is the case with Ru-
mania, which does not allow any Rus
sian emigre who is not naturalized to
remain In Bessarabia. 1t is done, no
doubt, for political reasons of internal
safety. but 1t is nevertheless a great
threat, leading directly and inevitably
to complete Standardization of Rus
SLAMS residing in Rumania.
Those are the facts. To fight that
constantly growing danger of donation
alization the Russian emigration press
presents a valuable factor in letting
Russians in foreign lands keep in con-
tact with Russian literature, Russian
ideas, even Russian language, which
under the force of circumstances so
many of my compatriots are gradually
forgetting But certainly this is not
enough. Nor is the Russian Church a
sufficient guaranty against denational-
ization, although its work in trying to
organize Russian classes for children
being educated in foreign schools Is
certainly to be praised, but in so many
cases this work is handicapped by lack
of funds and in others, not everywhere,
are those classes available, and not
always do parents send their children
to these church schools, either because
they do not belong to the Greek ortho-
doX faith or they do not want to give
their children that sort Of Russian edu-
cation which the Russian priests, al
most uneducated themselves. are able
to direct. Russians on their own try
to create organizations which would
keep them together, but in so many
countries and in so many cases those
organizations do not live long because
of the general political situation. 1t
is a known fact that, for instance, in
Poland one has to obtain a special
permit for organizing new Russian
group, and on many occasions such a
permit has been refused.
Situation Held Desperate.
Thus on the whole the situation
seems to be rather a desperate one.
If the Russian revolution goes on pro-
crossing as slowly as it has done till
now, we shall probably find out in
another 10 years that of the 100000
Russian emigres as estimated in 1925,
there will not remain even one-third
that will be able to call themselves hon.
estly Russians.
1t is therefore possible that nation
in exile should completely disappear?
Would 1t not be possible for civilized
nations to find an adequate solution to
this vital problem?

Post Office willing to Help.
Consequently, though swindlers who
have used the mails to defraud are
generally tracked down in time. 1t is
frequently impossible TO proceed against
them because the evidence is missing or
matters have been so complicated that
prosecution is futile. In any case, pro-
lection of investors depends upon pre-
venting these operations, not Furnishing
the swindler after the money has been
taken.
Some attempt has been made in vari-
Gus States to control these operations
through the telephone and telegraph
companies, according to Mr.. Craig, nut
the scheme has not been successful,
partly because it is difficult for COM
pany officials to tell bona flde from
fraudulent sales, and also because in
New York, where most sales OF both
kinds originate, there is no uniform re-
quirement for registering securities or
security dealers.
Working individually. the States are
helpless to cope with this Nation wide

several national fraud-fighting organi-
cations already exist, their efforts have
not been sufficiently co-ordinated to get
at the real heart of the matter. A COM

gested in the past, but this is the first
time, believe, that any real attempt
has been made to pool the resources of
