Amsterdam, August 17.—Two di- vergent articles in the German press on the situation in Russia give a con- trasting picture of economic -condi- tions there and scem to indicate that | confusion prevails in Germany, as well as in the allied nations regard- ing the actual state of affairs. The Berlin Tageblatt gives a rosy picture of Russian economic condi- tions, declaring the workers every- where are obeying orders of their superiors and regulating industry. There are now three types of fac- tories in Russia, asys the Tageblatt; those still privately owned, whose sur- plus carnings are turned into the pub- lic treasury; those that have been turned over to the public, but are operated by local councils of working- men; those now public property, in which operations have Ween central- ized for the whole nation. Shut 30 Paper Mills. To this third group belong paper mills, sugar mills and tobacco fac- tories, and-it is proposed to place all factories under this head. Increase of production is now being striven for and in many cases realized.

Transportation conditions are indescribable. If a! man wishes to ship a car of goods, he must first get a permit from the cen- |tral government, then from the local government, and finally from the rail- way administration. \If he does not} bribe everyone, trom the lowest to the highest, he gets no permit at all. If he does get it, there is no cer-| tainty that the, goods will be deliv- | ered. A resumption of commerct to any extent, says this writer, is there- fore impossible. Only ten per cent of the working- ;men are now employed, and where the workers have taken over the man- agement of factories, they have pro- remain uncultivated because the“peas- ants lack seed, horses sand -tools to work the land. “All people, , including the poorest Bought, and which has been duced chaos, he says. Vast territories | ed some peculiar hardships on the tillers of the soil . Officials’ of the} Farm Loan board tell of a case where | a farmér in the south raised 80 acres of potatoes, which he sold at.a good price. Before the war he had been farming unprofitably and had accu- mulated a fine assortment of debts. The. money from his potatoes paid these debts and he was about to start even when the collector swooped down op him and made a comparison. between his farm profits during peace years and his farm ‘profits since the war began. On this comparison what he got for his potatoes was practical- ly all excess profits and he had to} mortgage his land again to pay his income tax. If the government had been after war profits alone they would not have driven this man back into debt om the theory that anything he made was: “excess” profits. The farmer does not mind being taxed, but he would like to get off !with only his share of taxation, He does not relish the latest suggestion which is-to tax Farm Loan Bonds is- sued by the government Farm Loan board. These government bonds ‘have been exempt, but the private banking interests who make their living, loan- ing money at high interest to farmers are agitating a tax on these bonds as a source of revenue. The only effect of such a tax, as they know, would be to raise the interest rate for loans CSTR GENERAL PAU Gen. - Paul Pau, the © one-armen French hero who led the French aa- yance into German Alsace in 1914 is in America at the head of a missiox of twelve Frenchmen on their way to Australia, to tell that “country whai France is fighting for, \ or to farmers, so that the farmer, in ad- dition to paying taxes on the full value of his land, whether mortgaged or free of mortgage, would also be taxed on his debts. ‘ It is bad endugh to be taxed on what he has, but it is hard to be tax- ed-on what he ow RESTORING EASTERN FRON ance ee Bismarck, N.
