Rl SOVIET STABILIZES |Fcod Cost HikeFollows Halt on Issuance of Currency and Internal Loan.. (Copyright. 1931, by the Associated Pr i MOSCOW, July 8.—Soviet Russia's i ruble, bad boy of world currency, s un- { dergoing a face cleaning. | Onece so plentiful in a nation where | there was little to spend it for, the ruble |is becoming scarce as a result of the |government’s efforts to stabilize it. | Now there is more to buy, and there are comparatively few 1ubles with which to pay, as a direct outcome of the gov- ernment’s new finansfal policy exempli- | fied in the recen 50 per cent average | increase in the prices of food and basic commoditles. Stabilization Begun. Notwithstanding that the ruble has no standing in international exchange, the government's de.ermination to st | bilize it at home was manifést some, time ago in the announcement by Commissar of Finance C. T. Grinko that the issu- ance of currency, which was stopped in the' latter part of 1930, would not be umed this vear. Heretofore government printing presses had been kept running at top speed to | cause che had the courage of her con- | pay salaries and other internal obligady victions. tions urder the five-year plan. This |produced a wide distribution of rubles among the populace, which, due to th soarcity of food and o.her ne-ncsitfe ,of life, accumulated large quantities of the currency because there was relative- 1y little to purchi with it. | Price Hike Uses Up Currency. | _Alded by the increasing output of | light industry, which produces such |things, the government in recent { months has been opening more and { more” “open,” or “higher-priced,” stores where any cne is permitted [to buy. Then came the heavy price | increase just as the populace was in- | du'ging in a buying orgy induced by | well stocked shelves on one side and plenty of rubles on the part of workers | and peasants. 1 appearances in Moscow can be | taken as a criterion, this gradually de- pleted the buying capacity of a large porticn of the population in urban | centers. At the same time it has brought an increase in both the quantity and quality of stocks of goods |on hand in the stores. | Non-workers Hardest Hit. Actually, the worker portion of the population is little affected by the price | increase, because they are rationed | necessities at fixed prices. patrons of government higher-priced stores, such as non-workers, “intelli- gentsia,” technicians and _foreigners Who suffer from the higher living cost. | “since the worker is considered the { first citizen of the state, he recelves larger allotments of food and other com- modities than any other class and is permitted to buy at spacial stores at reasonable prices. ‘Those in other cate- gories receive smaller ration allowances, arc forced to supplement them by purchasing from the higher- [Y | priced stores.

"Matchless Service' The workers themselves patronized such stores extensively also before the recent price increase. but they were among the first missing when prices rose. Butter Costs $5 Per Pound. ‘The result has been that a worker r ceiving $50 a month can live on approx: mately the same standard to which he | | has been accustomed, while others must | devote more of their income to pur- | chases at higher-priced stores. Butter | in these stores now sells for 10 rubles, or approximately $5 a pound. Another element in the sharp de- crease in the number of rubles in cir- !culation is the government's latest in- | ternal loan of 1,600,000,000 rubles, subscriptions for which now are being | received from workers and others at |the rate of one month's salary per | person. | e . | Legionnaires See Moscicki. ‘WARSAW, July 8 (#).—Polish-Amer- | fcan members of the American Legion, headed by Felix Buran of New York, who attended the unveiling of a statue to President Wilson at Poznan on July 4, today were received by President Moscicki, and later laid a wreath on the tomb of Poland's unknown soldier.

THRER HSTORAN DENES STORYOF DAUPH South Carolinian Says Claim of James Henry Rion Has Been Discredited. By the Assoclated Prens. COLUMBIA, 8. C., July 8.—The story that the lost Dauphin of PFrance, son of Louis XVI, was smuggled to America and had a son who was reared by John C. Calhoun was discounted yesterday by | A. 8. Salley, secretary of the South Carolina Historical Commission. “The story is an old one,” Mr. Sal- ley sald, “but there is no foundation for it.” It originated, he sald, when James Henry Rion of Winnsboro, 8. C., made & death-bed statement in which he as- serted his father, Henry Rion, was the dauphin, Several days later, one of James | Henry Rion's sons, Preston Rion, de- clared his father had been under in- fluence of an opiate and wes not re- sponsible for the statement he made on his death bed. Rion attended school at South Caro- lina College, now _the University of South Carolina, and became a practic- ing lawyer in Winnsboro. During his | entire carcer he refused to accept any pclitical office. This hes been used. Mr. Salley said, in the argument to show he | belicved he was heir to the Prench throne and had no right to be an office- holder in America. Dispatches from Clearwater, Fla., yes- terday quoted Mrs. Madeline Buchanan | Gill as teliing of the smuggling of the dauphin from France and how he set- | tled in Canada, where he died before his | | scn, who was given the name of James | Henry Rion, was born. | — .
