the London conference as if ION
orders"
In general, this is reiteration
of the position taken by Foreign
Minister Molotov in his speeches be-
fore the council.
The Russians express conviction
that the United States some time ago
decided that if she were resolute
or tough" enough Russia would be
forced to compromise.
But the Russians call this an effort
to dictate to or bully" them. and
they give no indication of giving in.
Pleased by End of Rationing.
The ending of rationing and the
issuance OF the new ruble, from all
available indications, has had an
enormous effect on the people This
correspondent soon will spend his
seventh Christmas in the Soviet
Union and remembers no single
peacetime event which created such
jubilation.
1t apparently has created great
respect for state planning among
the Russian people, who are we'll
aware that rationing still is in effect
in many countries and that in
others prices are rising or have
risen steeply.
1t seems obvious that if wages re-
main the same, if prices go down
and rationing goes off-as is the
case so far-that the Russian people
will think their system is working
pretty well.
Nevertheless, the end of rationing
and the revaluation of the ruble dis
closed some chinks in the Soviet
controlled economy.
Speculation Arrested.
The decree said the revaluation
was being carried out to combat
war-induced imitation and "specula-
tive elements" (profiteers)-two fea-
lures familiar to capitalist economy.
Moscow newspapers reported the
arrest of number of persons who
bought galoshes and rubber boots
reduced to a bargain price by new
government orders-and sold or at
tempted to sell them in speculative
deals on the free or black market.
Most of those arrested. the papers
reported, were mot working"

how derationing affected one Lenin-
grad family of textile workers-a

monthly wage of 3,4O0 rubles for all

tically only for food Now. the
paper said, quoting one of the
daughters, Every month more than
one-half our wages remains for
clothing, shoes and other ex-
penditures."

MOSCOW, Dec. 2O.-Despite the
gloom in the west over the stale
mate ending of the Foreign Minis
ters Council session in London and
over prospects of future collabora
ton between the Soviet Union and
her wartime big power Allies, H.
such pessimistic sentiments are be-
! ing advanced in Russia.
No commentators have come for
ward with anything like the sug-
gestion that the international stu
alton is hopeless, or that there may
be no more meetings of the Council
of Foreign Ministers. On the con-
trary, some commentators have in
timated that the Council of For
eign Minister'S sessions are not at
an end.
But in the judgment of this cor
respondent, there is very little
chance that the U. S. S. r. will
abandon the position it took at Lon
don.
Despite the fact that Soviet COM
mentators and officials have not
come out with gloomy predictions,
there seems to be no chance of a
rapprochement unless one or the
other of the protagonists gives i'll
and there is no disCernible indica-
ton at this stage of the Russians
changing their position.
U. s. Blamed for Breakdown.
The Soviet press has taken this
position concerning the Foreign
Ministers breakdown in London:
The United States caused the
breakdown; the United States and
other western powers went to Lon
don with decisions already made;
the United States counted ON a
breakdown: Britain and France fol-
lowed the American lead and joined
with the United States in trying to
place the blame on Soviet Russia.
Further. the Soviet contends that
Cd it wants a free and independent
Germany; (2) the United States does
not because that would interfere in
the plans OF Wall Street ana i'm
perialists and militarists";: 90 Rus
sia, because of her role in the war,
is entitled to full reparations from
Germany; (4) the Big Three at Pots
dam and Yalta once agreed to that
demand and (5) the United States
and British newspapers reported

|SeIf-Syled Buddha
Exposed in Rome by
Friend Of Dalai Lama

ROME, Dec. 20 (NANA) An
international faker who is going
the rounds of the worlds capitals
with a curious racket as yet un-
specified is none other than the
self styled Living Buddha Of Tibet"
alias Prince CherenZi Ling, alias
Prince Hooti-Hoomi. Naturally q
prince, whether Tibetan or other
wise, is always a welcome addition
to society, and fashionable Roman
circles gave the Living Buddha'
warm welcome, with dinner at
the Chinese Legation here.
Prince" Hooti Hoonii, in .fac, did
very we'll for few days until he
came face. to face with Prof. Giu-
seppe Tucci, the worlds authority
on Tibet and Buddhism, and who is
at present preparing for his eighth
expedition to the roof of the world"
next February.
The prince" and the professor
met at party given by the Living
Buddha" in Rome. For time
Hooti-H -Hommi was in his strange ele-
ment. Dressed in flowing robes OF
yellow and maroon, with huge
rosary round his portly waist and a
pair of sandals on his feet, and
surrounded by his monks and
nuns" he refused the food and
drinks while benignly urging his
guests to partake. Eager Italian
| journalists asked him about his
plans, and the Buddha made vague
references, through an interpreter,
to the peace of the world and the
need for men to love one another.
| Tucci Friend of Lama.
| Then guest introduced Prof.
Tucci, who had been standing to one
side, observing the Prince with
considerable curiosity. Prof. Tucci
happens to be a personal friend of
Tibet's Dalai Lama, who is consid-
cred the incarnation of Buddha on
earth; hence the professors Curl
osity.
welcome to Rome" said Prof
Tucci, as he was introduced. Il un-
derstand that you have come down
from the roof of the world. Shall
we exchange a few courtesies in
Tibetan?"
The Prince" seemed to go little
glassy-eyed as the professor broke
into a curious monosyllabic Ian
guage. Prof Tucci stopped and
waited inquiringly. The Prince"
gulped, and little beads of sweat
broke out on his forehead Finally
he replied with few gutteral sounds.
Spoke in Hindustani.
Then Prof. Tucci spoke again,
bowed and walked away. This man
doesn't know a word of Tibetan," he
said. HE is an Indian. He spoke
in Hindustani."
The newspapers and then the po-
lice soon got wind of the hoax, but
the living Buddha" was ahead of
them. He next turned up in Milan
and went to the questura to get a
visitors permit, this time as a Gu
ban journalist. He was in posses
sion of a Cuban passport, on which
it was stated that he had been born
at Behara, India, in 1899, as plain
"Misrain Ling His application for
permit was refused, and shortly
after the prince" was heading for
the French border.

To the Editor:

10 the Editor:
If the Catholic Legion of
Decency can set up hard and
fast rules and justify the broad
casting of its findings on
grounds of morality, it would
seem that any individual should
be entitled to record a revul-
sion to a violation of the first
and several other amendments
to the United States Constitu-
ton by Gary Cooper, Adolph
Menjou and several others.
For many years 1 admired the
wholesome common sense ideal
lied in many of Cooper's roles,
and ! had a healthy respect for
the histrionic talents of Men
jou. But when friend recent
ly invited me to a Loop thea

would have been spoiled for
me by my knowledge that the

ularity on the screen by partic-
ipating in a moronic and I'M

fore the Un-American Commit
tee of Congress.

kind of bogeyman. 1t seems to
me that your views of the rent
situation in Chicago are ex-
tremely biased.
Certainly you must have
heard of the inflationary dol

labor, coal, and so forth, land
lord does not even get the same
rent now as when rent controls
were first put into effect-and
certainly no Is per cent in

him for this increase in cost of
maintenance.
And yet The Star is abso-

Please have a good public

Then destroy every plate,

My bet is that board of
