RUSSIA. THE Sixth ALL Union Soviet
Congress, which adjourned day or two
ago, was q kind of love feast. Rykoff
recently deposed from the premiership
time past in deepest oiSfavor with the
ascendant group, were elected to. the
Central Executive Committee, and sc
was Gen. Bluecher, whom Timor has
been charging with intrigue savoring Of
treason. There was general handshak.
ing and kissing all around between
Rights and Let's. The atmosphere was
one Of felicitation Upon the success Of
the farm collectivization movement.
The Congress was chiefly notable fol
its adoption of a proposal submitted by
CommiSsar of Agriculture Yakovley
providing tor introduction on the col
1ective farms on an important scale OF
the piece-work system, to the end that
remuneration may bear reasonable re-
1ation to work done. This Is or isn't
compromising with the mammon OF ur1-
righteousness.
ARGENTINA March IA. ths
Prince Of Wales inaugurated the British
Empire Trade Exhibition in Palermo
Park Buenos Aires Argentina" said
the Prince. will find represented here
every British industry which can aid
her development, an assembly OF prod
ucts which have been chosen with spe--
cial regard to the particular needs OF
this great country. A section is de-
voted to the latest methods OF convey
ance by sea, rail, air and road" The
following passage seems to me particu-
inTlv nat and graceful.
"The countries which have suffered
most from the prevailing economic de-
preston are those with the largest for
eign trade. Great Britain and Argen-
tina are together in that category.
Their export trade per capita is almost
precisely equal. Foreign trade is vital
to the prosperity Of both. England Is
seeking to develop itself industrially and
commercially, and, from what l have
been able to observe during my second
visit here, Argentina is doing the same
thing.
AS bagran extraordinary Of the en-
pire the prince carries it well.

10 days to include a stop at
Porto Rico and che Of the Virgin
nent states its purpose as ITO secure
O short rest and to settle certain adj
ministrative problems regarding Ameri-

Conditions, in particular economic, in
Porto Rico bespsak special attention.
Since his inauguration Mr.. Hoover has
had only one holiday of Importance,
namely, a week Of fishing amid the
Florida Keys.
It Is certainly to be hoped that the
appeal made last Summer by Gov.
Roosevelt of Porto Rico for contribu-
ticns TO total S7,30o,000 to finance a
program for the benefit of Porto Rican
children viii be amply met. 1t Is pro-
posed to use the money for prevention
and treatment Of hookworn, malaria
and tuberculosis, for lowering the very
high infant and maternity death rates,
for food for undernourished children,
for erection of great ehildren's hos.
