BRITISH FACE FOUR BAFFLING ISSUES Ireland, Russia, Rhineland and Mission to U. S. En- gage Attention. 5 c." EDWARD PRICE BELL. y Cable to The Star Star,4nd Obicago Dafly News. LONDON, England, March 25.—Rus- sia, Ireland, the Rhineland, and the question whether or not Britain will send an envoy or mission to the Hard- ing administration is engaging the attention of the foreign office. Small economic results are expect- ed at present from the trade agree- ment with the soviet government. Important economic results did not seem probable from the first. It was thought, however, that an agreement would do no harm, economically, and might do some good politically. It is felt that the sooner Russia is brought into reciprocal relations with the non- soviet nations, the sooner bolshevism will be worn down and destroye: Britain's contact with bolshevism h not caused her to fear such contact; instead of bolshevism spreading into this country from its knowledge of it, bolshevism has lost ground here in proportion to the increase of Brit- ish understanding of the doctrine, Russia Like Volcano. All trading with Russia now is recognized as exceedingly difficult. Russia is boiling. To try to trade with her is like trying to trade with a volcano. late official information for terest at the foreign office. It is real- ized that the government's difficulties there are prejudicing the foreign re- lations of Britain to a greater or less extent. But the foreign office hopes that the outside world will appreciate the strength of Britain’s argument against the dismemberment of the empire and will perceive that the course of events in Ireland has fol- lowed merely upon the policy of striv- ing to quell the rebellion and protegt lives and property in the law-abiding sections. Moreover, it takes comfort in the rising tide of English opinion against the acts of the Sinn Feiners. It fan- cies with England, Scotland and Wales solid’ for the principle of im- perial unity, outsiders will mot care to interfere. Germany Marking Time. Touching the Rhineland, the foreign offic is expecting no sensational de- velopments. It thinks Germany is marking time while estimating the actual results of the acts of the allies, If it appears that Germany rather than the allies will suffer, or that Germany will suffer more from the occupation than she will frem ac- quiescing In it, she is expected to take steps to get the allied troops back across the Rhine. Further oc- cupations of German territory and wider measures of fiscal pressure are not ruled out of the caleulations. Wil Britain send an envoy or mis- sion to interview President Harding? Report says she will. Lord Lee, first lord of the admiralty, as_every one knows, wishes very much to have an exchange of views as to whether an agreement between Britain and the United States on naval construction is possible. However, as yet the ques- tion of action has not arisen. There has been a -suggestion that Herbert Asquith. the former premier, be ment to the United States to dis- cuss Anglo-American interests with the new administratifon. This sus- gestion is officially scouted. An en- voy or mission may bs sent, but no- body fs prepared to speak definitely at the.present time. : Feminine Street Car Conductors All Right Women’s Bureau Finds Report of the women's burean of the Department of Labern, made public last night, answers an em; o to the much- agitated question of whether ‘women can be employed om street rallways wmecessfully, satisfactorlly and wi me ve- gard to their health and well Being.

March 26.—Press dispatches [telling of the rejection by the Ameri- can Secretary of Btate, Charles E. Hughes. of the Russian soviet trade proposals were received with satisfac- tion in official circles here today. While none of the officials would permit himself to be quoted, all were undisguisedly pleased that the United {States had seen fit to reject Lenin's plea for recognition, the French in- terpreting the American attitude as a certain amount of support of the French viewpoint regarding the soviet republic. 4 Coming as it does after England's trade agreement with the sovieta, the officials belleve the American refusal more than counteracts any strength the bolsheviki may have gained through their successful negotiations with Great Britain. The news was received here too late for comment by the afternoon newspapers. FINNS LAUNCH TRADE MOVE. Anxious to Deal Directly With Russian Co-Operatives. HELSINGFORS, Finland, March 26 —Finnish co-operative organizations have launched a_movement to deal di- ith the Russian co-operatives, according to Petrograd ad- vices today. probably soon will be permitted to function with the sanc- tion of the moviet authorities. A Potrograd dispatch quotes Nikolai Lenin, the soviet premier, as saving: “It ‘is the co-operative movement which will best establish a new economic circulation. We must main- tain it for general distribution of products during the transition from capitalism to socialism. We have not utilized this apparatus. That is part- Iy our fault and partly owing to the war situation, when the social revolu- tionist menshiviki were controlling it. Now that we have succeeded in our defense, we must not bind the hands of our adversaries.” The Finnish government is not yet ready to grant unrestricted trade, and each deal must go through the state council. All through Finiand, where foreign trade’ representatives long have been waiting a chance to enter soviet Russia, however, deals are re- ported. The government plans to de- velop the ice-free harbor of Hango and handle commerce with Petrograd over the splendidly equipped Viborg railway. American diplomatic representatives in Finland told the correspondent that soviet propaganda now was rected in two main channels—first, convinoe the world that soviet Russia wants peace. and second, to permit the belief that trade with Russia will kill bolshevism. e e King Albert of the Belgians is the first monarch to be decorated by the British government with the distin- Ruished flying cross.
