the uprising in the Caucasus, its story
recently has been told by German
newspapers and by Vozrozhdeniye, a
usually well informed anti-Soviet daily
in Paris. This paper asserts that 1t re-
ceived its information from the report
which "the consular agent of Euro
pean power in the Caucasus" sent to his
government. The facts in this story
are confirmed by German papers.
The uprising. Vozrozhdeniye tells US,
broke out because the Kuban Cossacks,
who make up most of the population
of that province, were driven to despair
by the ruthlessness Of Soviet grain COL
lectors. The atmosphere in the prov
ince became more and more heated un-
til. early in December, a band Of 5000
Cossacks attacked in the night the lit
tie Red garrison of the large Cossack
village of Tikhoretzkaya. The garrison
was massacred and the Cossacks occu-
pied the village.
No sooner did the news spread than
the people from nearby villages began
to join the rebels Before two days
had passed territory of about $50
square miles with total population Of
100000 men was in revolt.
Two or three Red Army arsenals sit

these the rebels found enough rifles.

England Compiling Domesday Book,

5000 out of a total of about $4,000
sheets have been completed. The sur
vey was begun in october, $780,. and
1t Is expected that the whole of Eng
land will be finished by next Summer.
DR.. Stamp said that the ultimate
aim OF the survey Is to produce pic
ture Of England in the years 1881 and
1892, and explained:
"The Domesday Book gave us a pic
ture Of England in 1886 and we have
not had another like it since then.
What I want to do is to create a his
torical document to which people can
turn in, say, 10 or Is years time and
observe the economic changes that
have taken place in the interval. We
know that in 1870 there was twice as
much land under the plough in Eng
land as there is today. But as there
are no accurate records for so years
ago 1t is impossible for the economist
to put his thumb on any particular
piece Of land and say precisely why
the change took place. All he can do
is to make generalized statements
without detailed knowledge of the
facts, and what he says is consequent
ly often far from the truth.
This survey will, am sure, be Of
real value to the nation as a record.
The only statistics on hand at present
are those published by the ministry Of
agriculture and fisheries, which are

A real epidemic Of theft, looting and
banditry has swept over the country.
Everything was-and still is-being
stolen, wholesale and retail. Entire
train loads of goods would melt away
on the way from one railroad station
to another; some unknown individuals
would appear in the night in the fields
of collective farms. carry away the
crops and abduct the cattle; and, in
some places, armed bands attacked
governmental depots of clothes, shoes,
furniture, grain, etc, and. like the To-
Gust, emptied them. Pravada ragged
decree proclaiming the public prop
erty sacred" and threatening the loot
ers with the death penalty; and death
sentences passed by the provincial
courts were reported by the score.
Thefts Still Unchecked.
Yet the strange epidemic could not
be checked; the "looting of foodstuffs"
still is an almost daily item in the Mos
COW papers.
Clearly the Russian masses, hitherto
silent and submissive. have begun to
get out of hand. to stir and ferment.
A momentous armed uprising only a
little more than month ago in the
province Of Kuban in the Northern Cau-
casus has revealed the full significance
of the ferment
The Soviet papers did not say a word
about that uprising. But that is their
usual policy; in the past they have
never acknowledged the existence Of
such uprisings-no matter how impor-
tant they may have been-until a year
or two after they had been suppressed.
Since November, however, the papers Of
Russia have been displaying an unusual
anxiety over "the kulak and counter
revolutionist revival" in the Northern
Caucasus and in some regions of the
Ukraine. What happened in the
Ukraine we do not know yet. AS for

Evening star., 1933-02-05
BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.

HARIS.-The accession of Adolf
- Hitler to the German chancel-
lorship has been received in Eu-
i rope with surprising calm Aside
from the few manifestations of
fraternal Joy by the Fascists of Hun
gary and Italy, public opinion, even
that of France, has been virtually un-
moved.
For one thing, the people have had
many months in which to get used to
the idea of Hitler as head of the Ger
man government. For another, it is
considered impossible to predict the
course of German internal affairs dur
ing the next few months, hence it Is
best quietly to wait and see. Finally,
the French and their allies have long
been convinced that German foreign
policy IS not q party affair, and that
Hitler's more fiery views are, perhaps,
less dangerous to them in the long run
than the quiet, methodical aggressive
ness of the Reichswehr chiefs Like the
ousted chancellor, Lieut.. Gen. Kurt Won
Schleicher.
Assuming Hitler and his friends win
the March Reichstag elections, 1t Is
taken for granted that they will then
proceed to transform the German re-
public into something half way between
the pre-war empire and present-day
Italy.
Will Take Two or Three Years.
But to carry out this transformation,
it is estimated that it will take two or
three years at least, during which time,
it is felt, even If Hitler felt disposed for
foreign adventures, he would not be
ready to undertake them.
Thus, it is estimated, Europe, even at
the worst, has two or three years during
which, barring accidents, IT can continue
Two or three years as the world moves
now is q long time and many changes
may supervene therein.
Nor is there much fear abroad OF In
ternal disorders in Germany. The labor
unions, it is estimated, will make no real
resistance. The Communists may fight
back for a while, but they will soon be
crushed, it Is thought. As for the Jews.
despite the violent anti-Semitism of the
Hitler program, it is not believed that
they will be really subjected to serious
persecution, If only because Hitler can
hardly afford to excite the lasting
enmity of powerful Jewish groups In
London, Paris and New York.
Germany's unchanging foreign policy,
as now understood abroad, can be sum-
married. thus:
1. Equal armaments.
2. Repay as little as possible, for the
present, of private foreign debts. but
keep on friendly terms with the credt-
tors.
8. Continue agitation for the recov-
cry of the Polish Corridor, Danzig, ST.
lesia and even Malmedy and the former
German colonies as well as for q union
with Austria, but do not begin definite
diplomatic action on these territorial
questions until equal armaments have

equal armaments which, for the time
being. under Hitler or any one else, be-
comes the corner stone of the Reich's
foreign policy. At the disarmament
conference Germany will continue to
advocate reductions downward by the
other powers as the best solution.
But, as all Germany now considers
that under the Geneva formula of last
December Germany'S right to equality
was fully recognized by the great
powers, including France, it is under

longer in reaching concrete agreements

Francophile Little Entente (Rumania.
Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia) and
bring pressure on France to give them
q free hand In the east to effect peace

the south.
But whether Germany, thus strength
ened by arrangements In the north
east, could be persuaded long to alb
strain from political activity in the
Balkans in the future any more than

for Italy.
Meanwhile, it is considered inevitable
that German-Russian relations, once SO
