Wheat Down; Dumped

When the depression first hit
the capitalistic world two years
ago, Russian newspapers gloated
and said, 1--WE told you So" AS
time went on the government
learned that the sinking commod-
tiles prices had a direct bearing
on the industrialiZation plans.
Prices Of raw materials, which
Russia was prepared to export,
dropped to unprecedented levels.
Prices of machinery absolutely
necessary for completion of the
five-year plan dropped compare
lively little. The volume of ex-
ports had to be enormously in
creased to get the required ma
chinery.
When wheat dropped from 81
to so cents a bushel-to use con-
venient figures-Russia had to
double the amount of her wheat
exports. Similar increases were
necessary in timber, oil and lesser
agricultural exports. These in
creased exports led to frightened
charges Of dumping" which
made further difficulties for the
Russians.

Ruble of Varied Worth

The Russian rouble is fiat
money, and the writer will defy
anyone to tell exactly what it Is
worth. At the state bank and
other government exchanges 1t
is pegged at 51.54 cents. In illegal
circles in Moscow they can be
bought for 10 cents. In Berlin
and warsaw the price fluctuates
between 4 and 6 cents.
In Russia the purchasing power
ranges from 2 cents in the open
goods markets to rs cents in the
closed goods markets on govern.
ment cards. Severe penalties are
imposed on persons caught i'm"
porting or exporting roubles. and
the punishment for specializing
in roubleS Is so harsh thac only
the most reckless foreigners in
dulge IN the dangerous practice.
Russia needs gold for her i'm
ports and since she cannot get
long term loans or credits she is
forced to hide her shame as best
she can and get "vaIuta" by sell
ing many products urgently
needed at home. Her exports
must equal her imports, and since
her imports are costly machinery
she must export large quantities
Of raw materials.

Borah Is Grateful to Japan
BY ROBERT S. ALIEN

One afternoon recently while
Senator Borah was on his way to
his office, a friend rushed UP to
him and with considerable feeling
held out a newspaper carrying
large headlines announcing that
the American observer to the
League of Nations had been de-
MED admission to a conference
on the Manchurian crisis on the
protest of the japanese delegate,
what do you think Of that,
Senator" the friend demanded,
Indignantly. Seems to me this
is pretty highland I'd"
Borah read the story through
calmly and then smilingly OBJ

Japan is. our friend. She
is trying to save us from the
League in spite Of ourselves"
Borah Is a leader Of the IRE
concilables who oppose American
entrance in the League. He will
lead the fight in the Senate this
winter against American adher-

Gold Always Goes Abroad

In 1922, after initiation had
sent the first Soviet rOubIes to
hundreds Of millions to the dol
lar, the currency was theoretically
stabilized by the issuance Of 10
rOVble gold" notes known aS
chervOntsi, which were said to
have behind them q rs per cent
gold reserve. Up until last year
the currency had been grad
ually increased while the gold
reserve cOrreSpondingly de-
creased. During the present year
the emission has been curtailed.
In addition to the chervontsi,
the government can issue treas
ury notes Of /, 2 and roubles
equal in amount to the out
standing chervontsi. The issue
Of these notes was first limited
to 50 per cent Of chervontsi in
circulation: in 1923 the limit
was raised to rs per cent, and
last year it was raised to 100 per
cent. These notes pass as legal

Prices Not Rigid

The dual value of the rouble
was unconsciously illustrated tc
the writer at the state farm "Ver.
blud" in the Dbn region.
DR.. L. s. Margolin, the young
director, was asked how much he
received from the government for
his wheat. He replied: "A rouble
and a half a pood." A pood is 36
pounds, and calculating the rou.
BILE at so cents, the price was
$1.25 a buShel. DR.. .Margolin said
similar prices were paid by the
government to the collective
farms. He was asked:
"HOw can you afford to ex-
port wheat at that price when
wheat is selling in Oklahoma,
and Kansas for 30 cents a
bushel?"
"That is only the procure
ment price. It is effective only
in the country. Export prices
are something entirely differ
ent. In exporting the domestic
price is not considered"
The artificial pegging of the
rOubIe in Russia is also respOn-
sible for the difficulties foreign
concesSiOnaires, now almost en-
tirely cleaned out, had in Russia.
While their operations might
bring considerable profits in
rOubles, they would not amount
to much in dollars. pounds or
marks even If the rOubles could
be taken out of the country.
The agencies through which
Russia obtains the much-sought-
after valuta are the foreign trade
monopoly which has upset the
economic calculations Of the
eapitalistic world, and exorbitant
export and import tariffs.

Walsh Invites Barrage

Senator David I. Walsh, from
Massachusetts,, has hit upon a
novel meth0E for worlN1g up in
terest in public meetings. It is
Walsh's view that too often pub
lie speakers discuss topics that
are not of immediate in'H rest to
their hearers. This summer, while
making a speaking our of his
State, Walsh noticed that his
audiences responded with keen
enjoyment to his invitation to
ask questions on public issues.
H. decided to cut down his own
remarks and let the crowd decide
what it wanted to hear. The re-
suit was that everywhere he was
greeted with scores of pertinent
questions.
Ambassador Nelson T. Johnson,
who represents the United States
ir China, is a world authority on
China.
He is one Of the few OccidentalS
who has mastered the Chinese
language. He reads, writes, and
speaks it readily He is by incli
nation a student and scholar and

as a young career diplomat John.

cult language and studying the
customs and history Of the peO'

to the Presidents call. The rec.
ord of his two years work in
China amply justifies the PreSi-

him. He is widely respected in
China and has the confidence Of
all factions. His friends attribute
his success to his deep knowledge
Of Chinese nature.
A friend called on him one day
at the State Department. He had
with him a toy airplane that he
had bought as a gift for his little
son. johnson was much interested
in the toy and made inquiries as
to where 1t had been purchased
The friend, knowing that johnson
was then still bachelor inquired
as to Johnson's interest.

Gold for Goods

Most Of the gold Russia gets is
sed almost Immediately to pay
for foreign purchases, but if dol.
lars are put into the gold reserve,
every dollar can be used to back
UP about 16 roubleS-to calculate
the rouble at so cents.
Much has been made Of this
initiation by adverse critics of Rus
sia who neglect to state, however,
that almost all of RusSia's newly
acquired gold stays in foreign
countries and that Russia takes
goods in return. Many economic
observers insist that the best that
can be said Of Russian rOubIes is
that they are backed by goods
not gold. This annOys the Rus
slams, who insist that the cOun-
try Is on q gold standard.

Some Must Smoke.

Thromboangiitis obliberans O. the
frightful name OF the disease, and 1t Is
just as fr1ghtful as 1t sounds. In SIM
pie English It is a kind OF chronic in
fiammation with clotting or obstruction
Of the main blood vessels, especially in
the legs, though sometimes In the arms
It not rarely leads to gangrene, which
makes amputation Of the limb neces-
Sary.
Some years ago New York physician
reported q series Of several hundred
cases Of thromboangiitis obllterans he
had treated. All his patients were ex-
cessive smokers, usually Of cigarettes;
forget now how many Of them gave a
leg or two for their smoking, but 1t was
plenty.
It is very easy to smoke too many
cigarettes, once you've taken up smok-
ing; the more you smoke the easier it is
to have another. 1t Is different with the
pipe. The more you smoke your old
pipe the harder It Is to have another
After three or four pipefuls the thing
gets so powerful that you just quail al
the thought Of another bout with IT
today, and so you worry along till to-
morrow.
Young women who smoke should give
thought to the prospect Of getting
about on one leg or maybe a couple OF
wooden ones 10 or 20 years hence. Ger
tainly q lot Of girls who cultivate the
smoking habit go in for excess and soon
become abject slaves Of the habit.

results obtained from injections Of n.y.
