" UL AGANST | RUSS ECORATION No Change "in Administra-: tion’s Stand of 1921 Despite Constant Agitation Here. BORAH LEADS PLEADERS Expect Revival of Demands Fol- lowing Senator's Speech in New York Next Month. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE, Although the soviet republic of TRussia is approaching the end of| the sixth year of its existence, its recog- nition by the United States govern- ment is as remote as ever. The at- titude of Secretary Hughes, set forth a few weeks after he took office, in March, 1921, remains virtually un- changed. 1In reply to soviet over- tures at that time, Mr. Hughes de- clared that, until ways and means | wera found within Russia to arrest | fts “progressive impoverishment recognition by the United States was out of the question. That forthwith became the policy of the Harding administration and remains its policy | to this hour. The White House and State Depart- ment are more or le: incessantly \h'l‘ objects of pro-recognition “drives.” organized by American concern | calling itself “Friends of Rlvls!hlv' Tts chief spokesmen in Washinzton aro Senators Borah and Fmnce.

Attitude of Leaders. The attitude of President Harding and of Secretaries Hughes and Tloover, upon whom the White House mainly leans for orientafion on TRussia, is that Lenin has first to give very visible demonstration of a fundamental change in policy before American recognition can be expec ed.

The principles of commun- ism continue to prevail and, in the opinion of the American govérnment, make relations with the soviet gov- ernment as impossible as_ever.

The countries that so far have rec- ognized Russia are Germany, Turkey Persia, Lithuania, Latvia, thonia and Finland. The four last d states were formierly part of a, and with Poland the soviet made peace after war on the basis | of recognition. *Joffe, a prominent soviet leader, recently arrived in ations with the Tokio | The soviet made bold | bids for recognition of the western ( juropean powers at the Genoa and Hague conferences, and only recent- ly at Lausanne, Washington authc ities point to the futility of Lenin's efforts to secure “readmission to the family of nations” at Genoa, The Hague and Lausanne as classic vin- | dication of America's refusal per- maturely to recognize the soviet. American recognitionists are fond of arguing that the time has come to establish relations with the soviet, because the Lenin government is the only “war-time” regime still in ex- istence; that it has outlived the cab- inets of all other KEuropean powers. That is nominally the case, but there is believed to be little real suhstance behind that mere fact. The general state of Russla, according to our ob- servers, is not improving. Agricul- ture, once the country’s bulwark. is probably not half of what it used to be. Industry is not more than a quarter of its one-time volume, if that much. The peasantry is in sullen re- volt against the soviet central go ernment. whose actual authority is confined practically to the cities and other urban communities dominated by Trotsky's bayonets. The urban centers are pretty well supplied with food, which is extorted by the soviet from the peasant producers in the guise of “taxes in kind. Peasants Complain. Peasants complain that they have recently Dbeen “bled” for excessive food contributions by a soviet fake crop estimate, which fixed the total vield at an excessive figure, 5o as to permit the commandeering of im- mense supplies on the 10 per cent! “tax in kind" basis. ‘American authorities are doing no guessing as to how long the soviet regime can hold on. It may last; months or vears. Doomed, they con- | tinue to believe it is, whether it totters early or late. Lenin's demise, | it is felt certain, will speed the eol- ! lapse, though even his disappeara H may not immediately spell the sov end. He is unguestionably the key- | stone in the communist arch, and when he finally breaks up the struc- ture will unquestionably begin to tumble. Washington officials are called upon | more or less regularly to remind peo- ( ple that the United States since 1920 has placed no embargo on trade with Russia. Anvbody that loves adven-i ture can trade with the soviet. It lsi observed that although both Great| Britain and Germany enjoy formal trade agreements with the Moscow authorities, the volume of commerce resultant therefrom has been infini- tesimal. American trade with Rus-| sla, even before the war, always was insignificant. It accounted for hardly 1 per cent of our total foreign busi- (Copyright, 1928.) D. C.

PARTY SUCCESS AT ISSUE Night Session Will Prove if There | Is Filibuster on Sub- sidy, He Says. BY DAVID LAWRENCE Today begins three-week which will have a decisive influence on the opportunity of the republican party to succeed ftself in 1924. Only eighteen legislative days remain in which the re- publicans with their large majorities in the Senate and Ho; can push their Xt session, which convenes in December, will see many new faces and a narrow majority in each house. That always means a diffi- culty for party measures, much debate, much compromising to suit the minority and to prevent defections inside the party. President Harding placed as paramount the shipping bill He even has given it right of way oves the acceptance in the Senate of the Brit- The House put the Brit- ing vote in short order. The Senate will pass It, too, but Mr. Harding's lieuten- ants in the Senate have advised hin that the opponents of ship subsidy will use as a device for delay the bill amend ing the funding law and permitting ac- ceptance of the British debt terms. 1t would be difficult to stop prolonged the British debt measure and the ship subsidy bill could easily . be sidetracked by such tacti So the President and his supporters feel they should push the ship subsidy bill up to; the point where it seems impossible to | get a_vote or where a vote is taken, | and then the British debt proposal can | be acted on in ample time. | In the last days of every session of Congres bills of all kinds get tangled | up with.each other. The friends of | particular measures press for action and will threaten delay on something wants, unless they can be assured of support for | their own projects. The farm bloc ie | waiting on the House to act on the !

In order to get the maximum amount of advantage out of the eighteen days remaining, administra- | tion leuders have decided on night sessions. This will soon give the senators who want to talk on ship subsidy every chance to speak, and yet it will prove conclusively whether | there is a filibuster against the ship subsidy bill. Should a flibuster de- | velop, it will be possible to determine | how long the Briitsh debt bill can be laid aside before being brought to the attention of the Senate for final action. As between ship subsidy and the British debt proposal the admin- | istration would, of course, choose the [latter. as the sums involved are | greater und a settlement of the prob- ilem is due Great Britain as a matter | of courtesy, if not direct obligation, because the British hastened action in order to give the United States | Bovernmept a chance to lay the mat- | ter before the present session of Con- gress. { " The ship subsidy bill is an adminis- tration measure and a party measure lin every sense of the word. Defeat ! would be a bitter pill to swallow and would reveal that even with a big| majority, the republicans couldn’t get | their ‘own President's proposals ! through. The minority knows the po- { litical advantage in killing the ship idy. It will afd the opponents of administration in further under- | mining its prestige in the next s sion of Congress, when o many radi- {cals will take their reats. The | { administration cannot afford to be {beaten on ship subsidy. The votes jare lined up to pass it, but can the | administration leaders force a vote? it's a parliamentary game which will {tax to the Utmost the ingenuity of the oldest hands at filibustering and ering. And at this writing it looks as if the administration, by night sessions or cloture, may force a vote. (Copyright, 1933.) i W. Ry. and L1, and Cap.

Under! existing law_the companies pay a $10 lidense. Under the new code the company fee would range from $50 to $200, according to the assets of the corporation. A _company. must mow pay $50 & year for each of its agents. The new code cuts this fee to $3 a year. Every solicitor now pays a fee of 35 a year, which, in the new code, is re- duced to $2. The proposed code gives the super- intendent supervision over the rat- ing board for fire and casualty in- surance. Stock Sales Regulated. Another important feature of the new legislation, Mr. Miller said, is that section which gives the District insurance office power to regulate the sale of stock in new- companies. The bill provides, Mr. Miller explalined, that not more than 15 per cent of the surplus may be spent for organi- zation purposes. - Supt. Miller said he could not urge too strongly the necessity for en- acting the pending legislation before adjournment of Congress.
