BOARD PRAISES | AFTERNOON CUP OF TEA HABIT, London, Feb. 3.—The afternoon cup of tea, to which pleasant habit many Americans fall victim after a ojourn in England, has been a report issued by the Industrial Fatigue Research Board. Investigation showed that where a long afternoon of five hours was intervupted ky a tea interval, even if for ten minutes only, the regelar- | ity of the work was particularly no- ticeable. The report quotes workers earthquakes of the economic background in which Be-|are mirrored all the probabilities a as a factor for war or peace pee BY EDWARD THIERRY Q Service Staff Writer New York, Feb. 3.—“Economic- ally, Russia is weak. Financially she is flat. Phinanthrophy cannot restore her and only public finance can.” This is the picture painted by Allen T. Burns, member of the Commission on Russian Relief, just returned from ‘a four-months’ tour of investigation. Burns, noted for his civic and sociololgical work in Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Rochester, Chicago and New York, spoke with the strict emphasis that he had neither com- ment nor opinion on Russia’s polti- cal and military aspects. His conclusions, otherwise, are these: . “Communism exists mainly in name. The power of the peasants is becoming supreme. The peas- want war; a significant thing about them is their gratitude, admiration, even adoration for the United States, “Restoration of agriculture is the biggest thirlg before the repub- lic. M. Chicherin, the foregin min- ister, agreed with that, saying to ants’ passion is peace; they do not, there is scarcely any industry; workers are either idle or flocking back to the land. “Peasants forced the revocation of confiscations of grain and pro- duce in favor of a scale of 10 to 12 per cent tax on @ normal crop; they simply laid down on the job and grew only enough to feed themselves and demanded from the government tickets they were entitled to under the soviet scheme for things they didn’t raise, “The next step in revolutionizing communism was the abandonment of government operation. The government still owns everything —in name. For example, they let corporations run industries—and hand back to them 90 per’ cent of the profits, it is simply, under a dif- ferent name, taxation of 10 per cent of private enterprise.” His emphasis was on the declara- tion that every consideration of Russia myst go back to agricul- ture, whidh is Russian life, back- ‘bone. and ruling “motive. the past two years she has been planting ‘but 50 per cent of nor- mal,” he said. He pointed put | that the famine due to the drought of last summer was 50 per cent as bad as-that of 1921 and affected a: area in which there are 15,000,00 “The outstanding fact is that for HQUITY TRIAL S¢..
