A RETURN TO PROVEN
FUNDAMENTALS.

Gradually the revolutionary bolshe-
viks of Russia are adopting many of the
customs and characteristics of the cap
italistic system they have SO heartily
condemned This reversion to things
capitalistic is discussed in an article in
a recent Literary Digest. The article
reports an interview with Alexander
Kosiarov, official head of the communist
youth league of Russia.
After reading the article we would
conclude that Kosiarov is wise young
man much enthused with the task be-
fore him. Apparently he heads a de-
cided movement in Russia away from
the once-heid foolish idea that culture
and refinement are signs of weakness
and criminal in themselves; away from
such foolishness to saner conception
oY what constitutes the best things in
life.
Hear what Kosiarov says:
We are not anchorites,' he said.
"We want to amuse ourselves, to work
when necessary and to relax when nee
essary. We want music, theater, movies,
poetry, dancing, and we have no objec-
lions to healthy flirting and romance.
Nothing is too good for us. Our youth
must be cultured enough to enjoy to
the limit the best things that life has
TO offer"
That is nothing more nor less than
what capitalistic society has desired and
aimed at for generations
In all the wise young Russians dis
course, there seems to be mental astig-
matism apparently common more or less
in all radical revolutionaries According
to their one sided view of things, one liv-
ing under the soviet is actuated by en-
tirely different motives than are his
brothers in other lands. When the soviet
young person dances or sings or other
wise has a good time, it is because of
some idealistic purpose, while the same
acts by young person in America or
other capitalistic countries are express

LEGION DEMANDS
MEETING BE BARRED
Attacks Granting of Permit to
Friends of Soviet for Monu-

Revocation by the National Capt.
tai Parks Office of a permit granted
the Friends of the Soviet Union for
an open-air meeting Sunday at the
Monument grounds was demanded
last night in resolution unanimous
ly adopted by the Executive Commit
tee of the District Department of the
American Legion.
Mai. Gen. Amos A. Fries, U. S. A.,
retired, introduced the resolution,
calling upon city authorities to show
a more militant attitude toward Com
munists. 1t was seconded by Past
District Department Comdr. Frank
L. Peckham.
Revocation Of the permit was asked
by Gen. Fries on the basis the Friends
of the Soviet Union organization
was organized and is controlled by
Communists sworn to destroy the
Government of the United States"
For the Government to permit its
ground to be used for the meeting
would be equivalent to extending aid
and comfort to the country's enc
mics" Gen. Fries asserted. sfa =.
A committee was being formed TO-
day to call upon c. Marshall Finnan,
whose Office, Gen. Fries said, issued
the permit.

A. A. A. MAY BOOST
ALL CROPS IN 1885
Wheat Production Expand
ed, With Like Action Seen
for Corn and Cotton.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the hSSOClhIeu FEcSS.
The A. A. A. may follow up its
latest wheat move by relaxing the
Governments control over cotton,
corn and hogs.
1t was announced last night that
wheat production would be cut only
10 per cent in 1885 in contrast to the
is per cent slash called for this year.
Wheat was regarded as the bell
wether, indicating how the official
minds are working. Farmers are
asked to cut their normal wheat area
of $500 900 acres down to only g.
600 900. Under average conditions
this is expected to produce q crop OF
IT'S, 100000 bushels.
AS for cotton, the goal probably will
be set between 80 SOC, 900 and 35,000,-
600 acres, compared to this years
5000, 900 and the normal 40,000,000,
officials said.
Figures for corn and hogs cannot
be arrived at until this years corn
crop is harvested and pig production
is known. Because of the expected
short corn crop, stimulation of pro-
duction is regarded as probable to
| furnish sufficient feed in the Fall and
Winter of 1895.
Control of hogs may be abandoned
/ entirely, according to Chester c..
Davis, farm administrator. Super
vision would rest solely on adjustment
of corn. Most of the corn is fed to
hogs. To control it would automatic
ally regulate hog production, officials
believe.
The A. A. A. emphasizes that the
process of stimulating production next
year is part Of a plan in mind since
the Farm Administration began. Davis
said the program is passing out of the
emergency stage Of eliminating sur
pluses and entering the permanent
phase. where adjustment" may mean
either curtailment or expansion.
But officials we're not blind to the
political reaction which might result
if present acreage cuts were continued
after the great drought. They also
aim to build carryover supplies of
food and feed to above normal to pro-
vide ample margin against possible
shortages in future droughts.

is no reason to assume that he is
to remain for any length of time.
Johnson had returned to the Capital
by airplane from Bethany Beach, Del
earlier in the day.
One version OF the Richberg John
son dispute, as described by the Asso-
ciated Press, says a chief point at issue
is whether a powerful board shall rule
NJ r. A., with the administrator SUBJ
ject to it, or whether the admins
traitor shall have the power, with the
board advising him.
Richberg and Secretary Of Labor
Perkins are said to lean toward board
rule. Important matters of policy are
believed to depend on the decision
which in the final analysis Is in the
Presidents hands.
The differences among Johnson
Richberg and Miss Perkins also were
understood to involve changes OF
policy, such as price fixing, compliance
and complete self-government by busi-
ness, but whether they were vitality
concerned at present was uncertain.
The main stated objective of alter
ing Blue Eagle machinery is to give
business the fullest opportunity fol
self-government and to achieve a
more efficient working organization
within the recovery administration.
First Move Taken.
More than a month ago the first
move to carry this out was taken
when Johnson's aides began group
ing related codes. There are more
than 500 Of them and regardless of
the final shape administrative author
ity assumes, it is the intention to
bring all related codes into one divi-
sion, and, finally, to attempt a more
equitable adjustment of their wage
and hour provisions.
The plan on which discussions are
now being held would provide II
divisions.
When the President and his official
family do agree on the final reor-
ganization plan, the change will be
gradual Months will be consumed
in regrouping the codes. For this
reason, N. r. A. officials said the
reorganization could not be termed
sweeping"
While the speculation over N. r. A.
went on. the Federal Trade Commits
sion came forward with an order de-
signed to eliminate "red tape" The

lieve could be converted into a sort

UItimatum Given.
Because of this difference Of $11,-
000, 900 and because Russian officials
of the Chinese Eastern Railroad are
accused of fomenting trouble within
the territory of the "independent"
state of Manchukuo, the Japanese
Ambassador in Moscow gave the
Soviets an ultimatum to accept the
Japanese offer. Failing this, the So
viets were threatened to be left to deal
with the Manchukuo government
alone. This is, Of course, manner
Of speaking, because the Manchukuo
officials cannot make q single move
without the consent Of Toxic.
The Russians got angry at the jap
anese and told them that they will not
be intimidated by any such threats.
Moscow is watching the situation and
will not be surprised if Japan decides
to seize the railway without paying
anything for it. The Manchukuo gov
ernment is ready to send memoran-
dunn explaining that such an action
is dictated by national interests of the
highest importance"
Japan Forging Ahead.
Japan is forging ahead to become
the foremost power in the Eastern
hemisphere. The japanese national
lists, that is to say the greatest proper
ton of the country, declare any power
endeavoring TO counter their project
will feel the might Of the Japanese
sword. They have an unbound con-
fidence in their ability to achieve their
aims, and don't hesitate to speak with
brutal frankness to the other nations.
A fen months ago, Ambassador
Mdtsuddtrd, Dho represents Japan
In Great Britain, told amazed Brit
ish foreign office officials, speaking,
of course, unoficially, that under
certain circumstances it may be-
come necessary for the japanese to
take oUer the British possession in
China, Hongkong.
The British we're habbergasted, but
took the hint, and when the Japanese
made the amazing statement that all
foreign trade with China must go
through Toxic, Sir John Simon, the
British foreign secretary, found 1t
quite in order.
A similar hint was given to Holland
regarding Sumatra, which some time
in the near future may become impor-
tant to Japan, and a transfer of the
island from the Dutch to the japanese
may become necessary.
