of these measures have been revoked by
Ulmanis, making the national minorities
feel once more that they are full -fiedged
citizens.
In another important step toward
unity, Ulmanis promulgated q new civil
code January l. 1888. Because of the
many foreign powers that had ruled
Latvia, there were nine different compi-
lations of civil laws set aside by the new
code. The new civil code simplif1ed the
administration of justice, swept away
many obsolete ideas such as class priv
ileges, which existed in the old laws, and
brought order and uniformity, thus con-
tributing further to the Strengthening of
national unity.
The greatest achievement, however,
Of Ulmanis' administration is to be found
in the economic rehabilitation of the
Latvian people and in the formation of
the Baltic Entente binding together
Esthonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
The basis of Latvlan economic life
is agriculture in which over 63 per cent
of the people are engaged. It is natural,
therefore, that the government pays ex-
ceptional attention to the farmer. All
the recent measures of protecting the
farmer and of increasing his revenue
are essentially the continuation of the
great agrarian reform of 1920. This re-
form put an end to the abnormal state
of affairs existing before the World War,
when more than one-han of the ter
ritory of Latvia belonged to a small
group of mobiles. 1t made it possible to
establish large number of homesteads,
enabled a vast number Of families to
make an independent living, increased
the rural population and opened up ex-
tensive possibilities to urban industry
and commerce.
10000 Homesteads Taken.
The extent of the agrarian reform can
be judged from the fact that 10000
homesteads have been settled on an area
covering 25 million acres and the proc
ess of settling still continues. Home
steads take up more than one-flfth Of
the total of farm area of Latvia and sup
port approximately 800 900 settlers who
represent one-quarter of the entire rural
population and almost one-sixth Of the
total population of Latvia. With few
exceptions, these settlers manage their
homesteads' without hired labor, thus
making their position economically more
stable than that Of the old farms.
The agrarian reform benefited many
old farmers who rented their farms from
the mobiles or who had contracted heavy
debts through the purchase of their
farms from the great landowners. In
the province Of Latgale. populated mostly
by Russian peasants, 5000 villages whose
land covered an area Of 1.9 million acres
were split up into $4,000 individual
farms, thus raising considerably the pro-
duction and income of the Latgahan
farmer.
All these measures have not only
strengthened the economic position Of
the rural population In Latvia, but have
also benefited industry and commerce
by increasing rural purchasing power.
Thus at the present time when decline
In employment, turnover and income is
observed throughout the world, LAtvia
Is enjoying constant economic prog

Ambassador Alexander Troyanovsky
now in Moscow, has asked to be relieved
Of his post here to stay near his son,

Moscow.
Soviet Purchases Soar.
In the quinquennium Of relationship
trade between the two nations has more
than quadrupled. The United States
and the Soviets have negotiated a series
of one-year commercial pacts. Although
the Soviets bought only $40 ,674, 900 worth
Of goods from the United States in 1888,
they agreed in subsequent pacts to take
at least $40 900 900 worth per year, and
are buying around sec, 900 900 worth this
year.
The pacts accord to the Soviets the
same tariff reductions granted other ma
lions under the Trade Agreements Act
The question Of debts remains un-
settled, all negotiations having broken
down in January, 1935-less than a year
after the American Embassy was opened
across from the hoary Kremlin.
The debt owed the United States by
the Soviet Union was $l88, 900 900, and
against it the Soviets compiled millions

braska, put an end to the political merry
go-round. He suspended the constitution
on May 16. 1884. and has since governed
his country single-handed.
DR.. Ulmanis is an extraordinary per-
son. Stockily built. with thick gray hair,
with large hands and feet, he presents
typical picture of a well-to-do farmer.
Only his high forehead and his brilliant
blue eyes reveal his great intellect. He is
81 years old and his dictatorship is mel
lowed by age and understanding. Re-
Gently the Leipziger Neueste Nachrich-
ten gave the following word picture of
the leader of Latvia, who like Pilsudski
OF Poland, can be called a dictator by
the will of the people:
In the midst of the noisy work of re-
construction, without family or close
friends. lives for his work alone the man
who created Latvia. Using to the fullest
extent the simple wisdom of the man
of the soil and the sound common sense
of healthy person, he works solely for
his people, driven by an inf1exible will
His only relaxation is visits to the coun-
tryside, to his birthplace There in the
midst OF his relatives he is seemingly no
longer the statesman, the leader the
tireless man of action. There his real
self is revealed and Ulmanis becomes
what in the depth of his heart he would
always like to be-a farmer.
Notwithstanding his great love for
the soil, his love for his people is still
greater. Therefore he never tires of
addressing them. Ulmanis is the only
true orator of the people of present day
Latvia. He speaks ponderously, repeat
ing himself frequently. but very impress
slvely. He is never abstract, in his
speeches remaining close to the real
thing-the soil. He knows his people,
with all their strong points and all their
weaknesses, and he plays upon their feel
ings and desires as if upon tuneful in
strument. But he desires of them more
than mere following; in every address
OF his, in every public utterance. he calls
upon his compatriots for better mutual
understanding"
Builds by Experimentation.
Since assuming control of the Latvian
state, Karlis Ulmanis has been gradually
building a corporate system based on the
old historic institutions of the country.
Professional chambers come into exis-
tence one by one and before they are
formally established they undergo the
test of an experimental period. Thus,
the leader of Latvia does not impose on
his people ready-made garment of new
institutions enforced by strictly dis
ciplined and obedient party, as in Italy,
for instance. He proceeds cautiously,
not by decree, through the process of
experimentation and selection, starting
from below.
The task is not an easy one. First Of
all because Latvia is not a homogeneous
state. Although the majority of its cit
liens are Latvian, the state contains
minorities up to Is per cent of Its total
population composed of Great Russians,
Jews, Germans, Poles, White Russians.
Lithuanians and Esthonians. Protected
by minority treaties these people Jared

last four years, reducing unemployment
to a negligible figure, but also the eco
nomic rehabilitation of its rural popula-
ton has created surplus wealth as shown
by growth of bank and postal savings
deposits both in number and in value.
Indeed, Karlis Ulmanis can be proud of
his record.
The formation Of the Baltic Entente,
although natural outgrowth of Lat
Was foreign policy in previous years, was
really the work of Ulmanis and of his
foreign minister, v. hunters. Having
had treaty of defensive alliance with
Esthonia since 1925 and friendly cultural
relations with her other small neighbor,
Lithuania, during the entire period of
her Independent existence, it was natu-
raj for Latvia to seek a transformation
of her relations with these two states
into more formal union. Negotiations
were begun soon after Karlis Ulmanis
assumed power, and on September IL,
1884, the foreign ministers of Latvia,
Lithuania and Esthonia signed at Ge-
neva treaty of entente and collabo-
ration for the purpose Of -ordinating
their efforts for peace in the Baltic
region" and of defending their mutual
and individual interests through a COM
mon foreign policy" For this end the
ministers of foreign affairs of the three
states were to meet at least twice q year
and all diplomatic and consular agents
OF the three states abroad were to be
instructed to collaborate.
Represent Single Unit.
Thus, in their relations with other pow
ers, the three states really represent one
unit and are therefore more likely to
obtain redress or to defend their inter-
ests than If they had stood separated.
Moreover, such a regional agreement not
only eliminating friction between them
selves, but also increasing the political,
social and cultural ties, is bound to have
. salptary effect on other neighbors who
might be less inclined to observe the
limitations of treaties and of existing
frontiers. From this point of view the
Baltic Entente created under the lead
ership Of Karlis Ulmanis Is an important
step forward in the world efforts to pre-
serve peace.
Twenty years is an extremely short
span In the history Of q nation. Yet
during that brief period Of her national
existence Latvia has proved to the world
that . determined nation under the guid-
ance Of an enlightened leader can achieve

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, June
14.-Thirty-tw woman golfers fol-

Government Golfers PIav.

Most of the big shots in the Federal
Golf League were scheduled to play
today in the final days play Of the
Government tourney at Kenwood. One
or more Of them seemed certain to
top the mark of 79-73-152 hung up
by long-hitting Frank M. Goodwin of
Treasury late yesterday, but there's
always chance the mark might stand
up. Frank, who is a member of the
Maryland State championship team at
the Congressional Country Club. never
had played Kenwood before. The 70
was in the nature of tryout, but he
played we'll in the 73 round and might
have broken 10 with few breaks on
the green's. AS it was, such stalwarts
as Tommy Webb. 1886 champion: Big

others may shatter his mark today.

is straight-hitting John o. Ber-
geiin Of Treasury.
John hasn't been over 10 in his last
four rounds Of the Kenwood course.
Charles A. Barnard Of Government
Printing Office, seems to have the net
competition sewed up. Barnard shot
rounds of 81 and 86 with a SO handi-
cap for net of 12s, which is IL under
par for the Kenwood course. George
