President Of Latvia
Reported ExiIed 10

Other Officials Deported
Or Imprisoned, Envoy
In Capital Declares
By BLAIR BOLLES.

DR.. Karl Ulmanis, president OF
Latvia when control of that Baltic
country was seized by the U. S. S. r.
last summer, has been deported to
the interior of Russia with number
of other front-rank officials of the
extinct republic, it was reported here
today by the Latvian Minister, AL
ernment recognizes him as the en-
yoy of an existing nation.
Among those who have disap-
peared from Latvia, the legation
said, are Gen. Balodis, who was
commander in chief of the army
which won independence from Rus
sia in 1920; former Prime Minister
Skujenieks and Clemins, Gen. Ro-
senSteins, the chief Of the army gen.
eral staff, and Minister Liepins, the
lord major of the Latvian capital.
Riga.
Since the Russian occupation,
news from and about the Baltic re-
publics of Latvia, Lithuania and
Estonia has been rare. BY under
ground international resources,
however, the diplomatic representa-
tives here of the countries taken
over by Russia and Germany obtain
advices of whose truth they say they
are convinced.
Many Reported in Prison.
Hundreds of cases are known -
DR.. Bilmanis reports, where people
in Riga and in other Latvian towns
have been arrested and kept in pris-
ons without trial until they commit
suicide or simply die from the hard
ships imposed upon them" Among
those who have died in this manner
it is said, are Col Clemins of the
general staff; the Vice Minister of
Interior, the chief of Latvian politi-

cal police, and the director Of the
Latvian Credit Bank.
"The deportations to Russia are
counted already in the thousands"
the Legation declares The story
of death and deportation as given
forth at the Legation, says:
Even skilled workers are taken
out of the country in order to be
installed in some armament fac
tories in Russia, which are run now
with the greatest energy, speed and
intensity.
THE banks. commercial and in
dustrial undertakings having been
conflscated by the state power, all
the key positions and better-paid
jobs have been taken by imported
Communists who arrived in Latvia
directly from various Moscow
academies where political propa-
gandists and underground activistS
are schooled.
THE cost of living, especially
with the introduction of the Rus
sian monetary unit, has risen to
fantastic levels for the people in
Latvia. Food was about five times
as expensive in last December as
it was before the Bolshevik in
vasion, wearing apparel about 10
times more. All the best houses
in Riga have been taken for the
needs of Soviet troops. In the
houses which have been confiscated
but where civilians were allowed to
stay, they are allotted only eight
square meters of living space per
person.
"All the farmers who owned more
than so hectares (an hectare is
2.47l acres) had to give away the
excess over 30. Production has
fallen by some so per cent after
the conf1scation of the agricultural
land in Latvia.
"The religious persecution started
at once as soon as the Bolshevik
regime was introduced by the in
vaders. Churches have been trans
formed in many cases into movies
or clubs for Communist organiza-
tions."
The Latvian government n-exile
operates a worldwide diplomatic
service to keep alive the general
awareness of the Latvian problem.

Probe Of Mothers
In Demonstration
Wants TO Know Who
Is Financing Their
Unpleasant Visit

The Shutdown" demonstration at
the Office of Senator Glass, Demo-
crat, of Virginia yesterday was on
the doorstep of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation today, with a re-
quest from the Virginian for an
Investigation to determine who was
financing the unpleasant visit OF
the woman participants headed by
Mrs. Elizabeth Dilling.
Further, recalling that the Sit
downers represented themselves to
be mothers and described them
selves, as the Senator explained it,
"as members of something they
called a mothers mobilization, y
Senator Glass expressed the opin-
ion that 1t would be pertinent to
inquire whether they are mothers" ."
For the sake of the race I de-
voutly hope not" he emphasized.
Mrs. DiIling Arrested.
Mrs. Dilllng, author of the widely
known book, The Red Network, y
has been in the Capital fighting the
lease-lend bill, which is supported
by Senator Glass. Police broke up
the demonstration yesterday and ar
rested Mrs. Dilling, who was re-
leased in $25 bail on disorderly
conduct charge.
F. B. I. officials said they had re-
ceived a letter from Senator Glass
and had referred it to Attorney
General Jackson for instructions.
Senator Glass asserted that the
group had created at my Office a
noisy disorder of which any self
respecting flshwife would be
ashamed"
ut is my understanding" he
added in a statement, that they
have taken up their abode in Wash
ington for several weeks and have
consistently made themselves Of
fensive in the Capital buildings.
Therefore, I have asked the
Federal Bureau of Investigation to
determine who is financing their
unpleasant visit, what agents and
organizations are directing them,
and whether they have complied
with our laws requiring the regis
tration of foreign agents"
Mrs. Dilling, at the time Of her
arrest yesterday, was under a per-
sonal bond imposed few days ago
after she had been elected from the
Capitol. A disorderly conduct charge
also was made against her on the
first occasion.
Dies to Conduct Probe.
Mrs. Dilling told reporters last
night that she had called r. B. I
headquarters and asked and de-
manded" that agents be sent to
interview and otherwise investigate
her group "to remove the smear of
being called foreign agents." She
was told, she said. that the F. B. I
could not act without instruction
from higher authority.
In the meantime yesterday Chair
man Dies of the House Committee
on Un-American Activities said
that records of the American Peace
Mobilization, Inc, had been SUBJ
poenaed for hearing Tuesday.

irritating because Mr.. Wheeler has
been known for years as a great "lib-
eral'-and the New Deal administra-

liberalism was in his camp. The

BUSINESS REVIEW
BY TRADE TRENDS
Defense Demands Con.
tinue to Expand Bust
ness In Nation

The following business review is
given by the Maryland Trust Co.,
of Baltimore, in it's August letter,
Trade Trends:
Business continues to expand un-
der the heavy weight of defense de-
mands. Most pronounced in
creases are in lines engaged in
armament production, chiefly ship
building, aircraft and chemicals,
where additions to facilities are
quite extensive. In other lines
like iron and steel, textiles and
foods, activity has remained at
close to peak levels.
The burden which has been plac-
ed on industry is made even heav-
Ter by the prospect of serious NAL
adjustments for all lines that are
developing as result of the rapid
expansion to what is little less than
full wartime economy.
Curtailment of non-defense pro-
ductiOn has not been particularly
severe as yet. AS a result labor
shortages in the vicinity of indus
trial centers which are most affect
ed by acceptance of large defense
orders are rapidly becoming acute.
This is particularly true in the
case of agricultural areas adjoin-
ing these centers. Complaints are
widespread about labor shortages,
and in some job classifications no
person is registered with public EN-
plOyment agencies as being avail
able for employment. In the en-
tire country it is estimated that

CHILE won its independence
~ from Spain in 1918, after eight
years of struggle. One Of it. early
presidents was Francisco Antonio
Pinto, who was honored philateli.

in the 1911 stamp above.
When Napoleon invaded Spain,
the Chileans saw their chance for
freedom. The Spanish governor
was forced to resign in 1910, and
the battle was On.
During this period, Pinto served
his country with distinction. He
was diplomatic agent in Buenos
Aires and England from lSll-l7.
After the war he moved to Char
cas- and Peru. In 1924 he returned
home to be minister Of the interior
and foreign relations.
Pinto YVES elected vice president
by Congress In 1927 and several
months later moved into the pred-
