The Russia declination, it is felt by many observers here, dealt a) blow to a movement for world econ- | omic reconstruction of a genuinely international scope. | The Russians, like the United States, participated in the interna- tional conference, which was gen-} erally held in its results to have the same importance to economic; rehabilitation as the doctrine enun-| ciated at the Brussels financial con- ference proved to have to financial reconstruction. A permanent consultative econo- mic committee of 35 members was created with the idea that it would meet periodically to treat various international czonomic pr-''ems as they arise and eventually to cure all the economic ills which the war en- gendered. Russia was invited to send dele- gates but Foreign Commissar Tchitcherin informed Sir Eric Drummond, the league secretary, that ccoperation of Soviet citizens on the committee sented no in- terest to the let +government which will abstain from presenting the names of any specialist. x American experts are being in- vited to sit on this committee, but no acceptances have been announced as yet. Though the appointments are personal in their nature, the Washington government doubtless will be informed of the choice and perhaps even ask informally to ap- prove.

Wealth Spreading Over the Nation — New York, Feb; 14.—(4)—Million- aires have increased in number about 600 per cent since 1923, judg- ing from statistics showing million dollar estates for which trust com- panies have acted as executors or trustees, Francis H. Sisson, vice president of the Guaranty ‘Trust company of New York, speaking here today be- fore the mid-winter conference of the American Bankers’ association, said that a survey of the national field indicates that in five years the institutions have handled 668 es- tates valued at $1,000,000 or more. Recalling that George Washing- ton, one of the wealthiest men of his time, left an estate worth only $530,000, Mr.- Sisson reported that in 1923 trust companies handled 48 in 1924, 69; » 151, and in 1927, 291 The large estates were 10t con- fined to cities, Mr. Sisson said. In one small town, to which a boom |b: Mrs. R. W. Shinners was hostess | had brought wealth as well as oil, the local trust company handled five $1,000,000 estates in one year and six in the next. In some sec- tions banks reported handling few or no estates of larg: size, but pointed to a remarkable growth in the number of estates ranging in value from $500,000 to $1,000,000, a fact Mr. Sisson suggested was in- dicative of the wider spread of wealth in this country.
