“Jine pronteers but sust how much that will amount to remains to be seen. The department may be able to deter- mine whether the dealer has juggled sogars of different prices and magaged to get the low priced ones a2 into the high price barrels but it will require much closer supervision than has’ever been given to getting evidence. Possibly some of those in- clined to profiteering will be retarded by the department’s warning, but -if the keeping down of the pricg of su- gar through threatened prosecution amounts to no more than the lowering of the cost of living, 20 frequently promised, the profiteers have little to fear, FORCING OUR DECISION. According to a - third or fourth handed report it is claimed. that no- tification ‘has been given to this gov- ernment by Admiral Kolchak to the effect that he will turn over part of Stberia to Japan unless something is done by the allies in the way of giy- ing assistance to the anti bolshevik forces fighting for Russia. Either this notification was given before Kolchak's government was over- thrown and he was succeeded in command of the army in Siberia or else he is still at the head of the government established at Omsk. But regardless of the time, if such warn- ing was given it indicates very plain- ly that the situation must have been considered critical and that Japan is ready to lend its assistance in fight- ing the bolsheviki provided it is prop- erly compensated with territory. The idea of notifying this country under such conditions is to get it in- terested in arousing the allies to the necessity of providing greater support for the opponents of the reds. Just at present the bolsheviki are -making steady gains in all directions. For the time being they have the other armies on the run but apparently not broken and in desperation Kolchak is said to be ready to buy the aid of Ja- pan. The idea in making such a plan known to this country is because the | territory that Japan would get would doubtless be on the Pacific and would give the island empire the charice for expansion that it would like and while this country has no desire for ;| that or any other part of Siberia it escape it.

It is gemerally conceded that the country meeds to look well after its own interests in the fight that the reds are making against it, and in their operations it is by no means surprising to find that they have taken advantage of every possible Joophole that could be found.

Incomes below $5.000 are exempt from surtax.
