BRITAIN PROTESTS | [new RUSSIAN WHEAT B Grain Dumoing Aids Shipping, but Causes Decline in Prices. By Radio to The Star. LONDON, Septémber 27.—A con- siderable section of the British press has been devoting a large part of its| space in the past week to a furlous | campaign against alleged dumping of | Russian wheat. Sensational figures have | been given of the amount of wheat and other grains which the Soviets are pre- paring to unload on the world’s markets, and lurid pictures are painted of the sinister bolshevik plot aiming at the! complete demoralization of the com- modity markets as a prelude to uni- versal revolution. . _Wheat “rices Lowered. | It would rather appear that the press in its zeal to expose this villainy. has | hardly acted in the best interests of the victims of the supposed plot against British and Dominion farmers. Thé re- entry of Russfa Into the wheat export markets has certainly been a contribut- ing factor in the present decline of wheat firices, but it would probably Have been .a.less powerful one if it had not ! seceived such extensive publicity. Estimates of the quantity of grain which may: be expected from Russia this season .vary considerably, but at most it’ is-1ikely to amount to only a small “percentage of Britain's annual requirements. The headlines have sug- gested, however, the dumping of vast quantities here and have thus ac- centusited bearish sentiment. ‘The advocates of the bolshevik plot theo! have endeavored to render it plausible by asking why Russia should exporg wheat at all while the popula- tion 18 short of food unless for the pur- of starting trouble in other after his nomination, shows Tuttle and Charles H.

According to Soviet spokes- men in London, the scarcity in Russia applies to meat and fats, but not to graing. of which there has been an unususilly big harvest, owing to the favorable weather, the increased yield produced by large scale methods and the introduction of modern machinery. Money Is Needed. Neufral observers here who have studied the Russian situation confirm this view and point out that the motive of the: Soviet government in pursuing an export‘policy in the face of existing low is a very ordinary one— simply the need for money. Russia at present as a nation appears to be prac- ticing “the policy which bankers and publicists in other countries are. con- stantly urging on individuals.” It -is denying itself in the present in hopes— to use the phrase of economists—of reap! “the reward of abstinence” in the fuiure. “The five-year plan” which it has adopted envisages a rapid in- crease in its industrial and agricultural equipment. Much of the necessary ma- chinery.has to_be obtained abroad, and in )!;hc absence of credits paid for in cash. The expost of wheat, wood, oil and other commodities commanding a ready market is the only way opsn by which the necessary foreign exchange can be secured. From the Soviet point of view, the present world surplus of wheat is dgcidedly unfortunate, since it is ob- !llnlntg for its crop a much smaller sum than it had hoped for. To what extent, if any, however, it is compelled 10 dispose of the crop below price is not known, for there are no reliable statis- tics avaflable. The Soviets claim that on the state and collective farms, ‘where mass production methods have been introduced, costs have been much cut down, but here again independent experts who are empl on some of farms will be to throw more light on the question. Shipping Is Aided. Meanwhile farmers the world over are certainly suffering from the deciine in prices and have good reason to curse the Russian competition along with other causes. The iil wind, however, must seem less harsh to some other people concerned, especially in this country. The exports of wheat and wood have meant the employment of much shipping, mainly British. A large number of vessels which had been laid up idie in British ports have been put into commission, and chartering rates, which have been declining for many months, have taken an upward turn. Low prices, however bad for the producers, do not always prove so un- acceptable to the consumers. and with the present slump in wheat has come & reduction in the price of bread here to the lowest since the war. Similarly, large supplies of Russian timber avail- able at low prices have helped to re- duce bullding costs—a very welcome de- Yelopment in view of the vast number of houses still required in this country, (Copyright, 1930.)

ROME, September 27.—It goes with- | | out saying that the complete break- down early this week in the Franco- | comes as a severe setback fo-the recent efforts at a rapprochement between Paris and Rome, To say that the Geneva conversations accomplished nothing is not enougl It must be added that there has been a retrogres- sion. From the Italian viewpoint at least, the divergence between the two countries on naval disarmament is now more acute than it was at the end of the London parley. Break Was Abrupt. ‘The break at Geneva was abrupt and definite and it came within a few hours after the French exp>rts had. pre- sented a new program of arms limitation in response to the project submitted by Italian experts at the beginning of the month. The latest French proposals are considered here to be less_ satisfactory than the projects to which the French delegation at don appeared willing to adhere. 1¢'s sufficient to say that the Italian experts in the Swiss cily found the French plan so unacceptable that they declined to take it under consideration. ‘The conversations ceased at that point. There is evident & tendency in some quarters to minimize the importance of | the Geneva break on the ground that | only the technical experts and mot ac- credited representatives empowered to conclude an agreement were involved. It is' true that this fact may serve to lessen the unfavorable effect of the break on public opinion, but it cannot in the least serve to lessen the diver- gence of the ‘viewpoint betweem the iwo govérnments, which is now revealed to be greater than the earlier develop~ ments had séemed to indicate. Postponement Proposed. ‘The conversations this month, first at Paris. and later at Geneva, resulted from the decision at the London parley last April that France and Italy should | continue their efforts to reach arms | limitation accord. Speaking in the | Chamber on May 9, Grandi expressed | this government’s willingness to resume the talks at any time, and a few days Jater Grandi and Briand exchanged views at Geneva in the presence of Arthur Henderson. The brief conversa- tions were virtually without result. ' Early in the following month Grandi announced his government had "pro- | posed to France a postponement of the French and Italian naval construction programs for 1930 pending the results of further negotiations on naval prob- lems. In the middle of July Briand indi- cated the decision of his government to | lay down no further units until Decem- | | ber, and the Italian government agreed | on 'a similar course with respect to its | jown navy.

A dispute over a private parking space between an unidentified colored man and Harry M. Dewey, 32 years old, of 210 Tenth street southwest, sent the latter to Emergency Hospital for treat- ment for a minor knife wound in the back yesterday. The argument arose when Dewey, employe of a firm operating a private parking space at Eighth and I streets, refused, to allow three colored men to leave their car on the premises One of the trio jumped from the ma- chine and stabbed Dewey in the back with a penknife. He then rejoined his companions in the car and the three men fled. Police of the first precinct are en- deavoring to locate the men through the license numbers of the machine, furnished by an eyewitness.

By Cable to The Star. PARIS, September 27.—The attention | of Europe has been sharply awakened ' to the attitude which will be taken by | the United States with regard to Russia. | Development of soviet commerce, | after having been the object of the de- | sires of numerous statesmen of all the | countries of the world—David Lloyd | George, Ramsay MacDonald and Benito | Mussolini, to cite foreigners only—is considered today as inopportune and dangerous. It comes too early or too ate. It had been hoped that trade with | Russia would increase the outlets of | the world, but when it occurs in the | midst of an economic crisis its results is rather to accentuate that crisis. The | capitalistic countries bewail dumping and the soviets protest against strang- ling, of which they claim to be victims Moscow Announces Stand. ‘This justice, nevertheless, must be| rendered the Moscow government—it had clearly announced its intentions The newspaper lzvestia in August had written textually as follows: “The difficulties which our enemies raise against us in order to prevent us from receiving credits necessary for the development of our trade will result in what our opponents call ‘forced exper- tation.' " Today the bru whose imports have quicker than her exports, and whose fiduciary circulation during the first two years' application of the five | plan, has been seeking to cover the deficit in her trade balance and defend her currency by, selling at cut prices Caucasus oil. Donetz anthracite, man- ganese, platinum, lumber, wood pulp. flax and even wheat, although Russia’s population is deprived of everything. Immediately protests arose on all sides, as in America ‘The indignation of American coal operators was equaled only by that of the French flax pro- ducers, who were ruined, and British newspapers denounced the Soviets for dending to England quantities of glu- dose, linen, potash, soap, cereals and furs. Defensive measures are being studied. In the same way that an embargo was temporarily placed on the importation of wood pulp in the United States, the lumber association in Sweden refuses to sell sawed lumber of Soviet origin, and France may be com- pelled to apply article 3 of her customs law, which author the imposition of & duty of 100 per cent ad valorem on goods coming from a country whose economic policy is considered inimical. Quarrel Ten't New. \ Tt should be noted that this quarrel regarding Soviet dumping isn't new. Sir Henry Deterding, back in 1928, had | given it enormous publicity, which is | still recalled, after having failed in his | attempts to obtain a monopoly for the | exportation of Russian oil. Today American ofl trusts and mechanical in- dustries urge conciliation, while the producers of. raw, materials and the Federation of Labor are radically hostile to_the Soviet. Meanwhile, the difficulty of obtaining a united front in customs matters have been once more shown this week in the | second commission of the League of | Nations, where divergence of views has been affirmed between two factions of the European continent regarding the “most favored nation” clause. ‘The | nations are divided among themselves in the same way that the industyies and political parties are divided within each nation. sed m | |PROHIBITION ARMY TO MOBILIZE TO FIGHT REPEAL OF DRY LAW Recent Wet Political Victories Spur Advo- cates of Eighteenth Amendment to Renewed Efforts BY THEODORE C. WALLEN, Washington Correspondent of the New York | Herald-Tribune, Mobilization of “the entire prohibi. tion army” of some 30 organizations in a central federation for keeping the eighteenth amendment in the Constitu- ticn is the object of a move divulged yesterday by certain dry leaders. It was sald that nearly 300 prominent prohi- | bitionists throughout the country had | indicated sympathy with the plan in| response to inquiries directed to “a care- fully selected list of responsible drys” within the last year.

The proposal, callipg for the formation of a national committee representing all 48 States and headed by “some man of character and standing with nationwide reputa- tion and approved loyalty to the re- | form.” is to come up in a meeting here | in December of organizations support- | ing the eighteenth amendment. Will Answer Wets. It was emphasized by one of these primarily interested in the plan that tne December meeting, while expected to | { consider it. was not called specifically | for that purpose but is provided for in | the constitution of the Association of | Organizations Supporting the Eight- eenth Amendment. Nevertheless, it was conceded that the “challenge of the wets” and a growing dissatisfaction with the lack of organize ddry response would lend impetus to the movement. Oliver W. Stewart of Indianapolis, president of the Flying Squadron Foundation, Inc., is the prime mover, aided by leaders of several other dry organizations. In.view of the primary results, which he construes as suffi- clent to cause “grave concern” to pro- hibitionists, he called upon the drys to meet the stronger challenge with- out delay. n 1928, he declares in the foundation's National Enquirer, “bred a feeling that we could not lose ‘and that the enemies cessful attack. From that dream friends of prohibition are being rudely awakened.” Plan Is Outlined.

What will it be several years hence, when the gigantic factorles erected in Russia are able to work at full pres- | sure? Of course, the fanfous five-year | plan is not executed integrally and the | results that the Moscow government | expected from it for the third year | even now are compromised. On the | other hand, among the concessions re- | quested by foreigners forced to withdraw following lawsuits amounting to several million dollars, Choice of Policy Delicate. The choice of a policy torards Mos- cow is a particularly celicate question. The capitalistic worid, in point of fact, cannot hope that the restoration of Russia at the hands of the Soviets will not also serve the ends of the third international. But it is possible also, as the economic reconstruction of Rus sia_advances, that the present Soviet regime will gradually make way for a more sociable democrac: Whatever the difficulties may be for common actlon, the- capitalistic nations should nevertheless co-operate on the subject. They will' have ample oppor- tunity at the forthcoming economic conference of governmental delegates which meets in November and at which measures will be envisaged against Soviet dumping while safeguarcing the inevitable exchanges of goods between Russia and the rest of the world. The European committee which meets in January also doubtless will be asked to consider the problem (Copyright, 1930.) Ergatocrats to Appear in Behalf of | Canadian Poet.

They should be non-parti- san, ready to aid any official or party standing for, the right and to oppose any taking the side of the illegal liquor traffic. They should not be controlled by any other organization. “The time has come for the launching of this movement. It is a large task. No one organization can do it alone. We are moving forward with the con- ction that the plan is so sane and | sensible that, since no one claims a monopoly of it, all friends will join in putting it into effect. ‘We are confident that this an- nouncement to the Nation that there is to be quickly perfecte¢ in every sec- tion of tne country those local and State | organizations which - can function as | herein described, and that they are | to be led by an efcient national com- | mittee and chairman, will send a thrill to every village and hamlet, arouse hope in every city, and strike terror to law violators. Drys Need Leader., ‘While the proposal refrains carefully from direct criticism of any particular dry leacers, it is designed to reflect dis- satisfaction among drys quite generally that the drys have been without a generalissimo since the death of Wayne B. Wheeler. “The Anti-Saloon League is but a hadow of its former self,” Mr. Stewart, lor years an active prohibition worker, declared in a recent statement. There has been no little criticism since the wet wave set in that the dry forces were “not functioning.” Objec- tion has been raised, moreover, that the drys were permitting the wets to get a head start on them in the struggle for control of the presidential conventions in 1932. It has been protested by | Democratic drys that unless some one brought forward an outstanding candidate for the Democratic presiden-~ tial nomination, the “wet Eastern lead- | ership of the party” would nominate a wet candidate by default in 1932, Third Party Suggested. Such a dry organization as pi , |1t 1s suggested, might conceivably be made the nucleus of a tnird party in | the 1932 presidential campaign if both major parties should go wet.

Many of the dry leaders on the other hand, insist that the eighteenth amendment means that no one shal drink alcoholic beverages, although it does not say so in so many words. They have insisted in drafting Jaws with that idea in mind, and with hav- ing them enforced, if possible, so as to prevent the drinking of such beverages.
