WHEELER RAPS
J.. s. ON SOVIET

NEW YORK, Sept. A.
eve are a bunch Of suckers for
not recognizing Soviet Russia"
In that statement, Senator Bur
ton K. Wheeler summarized yester-
day his conclusions after Today
tour of Russia. The Montana legis'
lator returned on the Leviathan
with Senator Barkley of Kentucky
who toured the Soviet Republic
for three weeks.
Senator Barkley, while speak
ing favorably of economic condi
tions there declined to commit
himself on the question Of recog
milton, but Wheeler exclaimed:
Everywhere / went abroad,
/ found the argument that
America should not recognize
Russia. but everywhere abroad,
Russia is recognized and the
European countries are getting
all the business.
'If we recognize Russia and
enter into commercial treaties,
it does not mean that we ap-
prove the form of government
there. Recognition does not
mean that.
Russia represents the great.
est market in the world for
American-made goods. This
market is far in excess of South
America or China. What Rus
sia wants at the present time Is
lOng.term credits"
Senator Barkley asserted that
he was aStoniShed at Russian con.
ditionS. explaining:
II don't want to express any
opinion on the recognition of
Russia but ] can say that If
Russia continues to maintain a
stable government, the United
States will have to consider
how long it can delay recOgni.
tiOn. 1t is but fair to say that
the Russians are making prog
ress. am speaking ecOnOmi-
cally not politically"
Both Senators agreed that the
Russians treated them as friends
and permitted them to go whittier
they wished unhampered. Sena-
tor Barkley thought that the fail
ire of the Soviet leaders to divorce
their policy from the Third Inter.
national was the chief obstacles
to American recognition.
Both legislators said they saw
no evidence that Russia is employ.
ing convict labor To manufactures
wood pulp or other commodities
for export and they shrugged
AWAY the suggestion that the Am,
torg Company is spreading revc
lutionary propaganda in this
country.

CITY
PLAN DELAYED

LYON PARK, Va, Sept. A.
The Arlington County Civic Fed
Grafton at its meeting last night
failed to adopt the report of the
legal action committee which, for
the past two months, has made a
study on the question of change
in the present form of county
government.
The report carried with 1t
recommendations that the county
manager plan be adopted.
Following the reading Of the
report by Chairman Robert N.
Anderson, who explained it in de-
tail, a general discussion was
entered into by. the delegates at
tending the meeting.
The view taken by many was
that they did not feel willing to
take part in sponsoring by the
Federation Of any particular new
form Of government until all
phases of the question are thor
oughly studied by all members of
the organization.
The only reference to a cor
poration in the report was that
Arlington county needs a govern
Llent having all the powers of a
city Of the first class, such as
would result from Incorporation,
but that it was deemed inad-
visable at this time on account
Of the large amount of funds
which the county would lose from
the gasoline tax"
1t was voted to hold another
meeting September 16. at the
Lyon Park Community House.

subject to change and progress,
although it works slowly.

In America the genius must
be unusual. He must prove

"In China the genius strives

ton. He does not want those
who know to laugh at what he
does"
DR.. Chang predicted that China
would introduce a new type OF
student in the American colleges
during the next few years.
"OnIy undergraduates have
been coming here in the past
for study" he said. From now
on you will have graduates Of
Chinese universities, for further

the extent to which this sweet
clover program is spreading over
the county, a survey of the seed
sales is made each year by pers-
onal contact with the different
seed dealers. This survey this
fall indicated that only 275 bush
els of sweet clover seed were sold
as compared to 800 bushels last
year, and 376 bushels in 1928, but
this decrease was to be expected
considering the unfavorable wealth
er conditions which have existed
practically the entire year in this
section of the country. Taking
into consideration that sweet Glow
er seed is sown at the rate of one
bushel to three acres, the 275
bushels of seed that were sold this
year planted approximately 825
acres. In making the same cal
culations with regard to the seed
distribution last year, it was es-
timated that ITO acres of this
legume were sown, as compared to
1928 acres in 1928, or a total of
