CIRCULATION WEEK ENDING AUG. 14th, 1920 10,924 5 SAVING WARSAW It is well to remember there is a dif- 'ference between the saving of Warsaw [and the saving of Poland. There scems to e every prospect that Warsaw will be captmred by the bolshevist forces be- fore the armistice has been agreed upon, but the fall of Warsaw will not neces- sarfly mean the destruction of Poland. If that were to be accomplished by mili- tary means, the bolshevist generals would still have to reckon with the Pol- ish army which has so far successfully beld East Galicia against the forces of Ruesia. But the salvation of Poland ‘will be determined by the terms that are to be offered her by Rusia. When ihese are published the real purpose of tie soviet will be apparent. If, as was in- dicated by an Associated Press report of an interview with soviet officials, there is an intentien to make an alliance with Germany so as to make war on Frahee, then on Great Britain and finally on America it will be diselosed by the terms that wlil be offered "to Poland. Lioyd George recently stated that the bolshevists were themselves divided as to whether they should attempt to eerry thejr doctrine through Europe by means of the red army. The factien in power at Moscow will be shown by the terms offered Poland. Kameneff has notified Lloyd George that ‘notwithstanding the hestile acts of the French government” the soviet will not glter its conditions for am armistiee end peace preliminaries between Russia eng Poland. The Russians should be given 2 chance to redeem their pledges. Although copmon sense seems not to rule in bolshvist affairs we like to be- lieve that there must be some common @=mse in bolshevist councils and the eape Rusiams must know that the pro- tests now being made by the workers in England and elsewhere against war would be silenced the moment the Rus- slans themselves repudiated their prom- isee. Why ghouM the militant faaties in Moscow be aided further by blundering on the part of the allies? €OX’S TAX PLAN #I susgest a small tax, probably one and ome-half percent. on the total busi- nes of every going concern.” Phis is the plan which Candidate Cox announces in his speech accepting the demeeratic momination for the presi- demey. No more inclusive plan to pro- vide that 3 tax should fall op uil could be devied, yet strangely enough Mr. ox eppeses a consumption tax. He blunder- ed imte a propesad that would initiate a comsumption tax of the most sweeping kind. “Pasing the buck” when it comes to paying taxes, has been so eminently the great national pastime that it neéde onl¥y te be mentioned to indicate the unex- empled opportunity that would be af- forded every going concern under the propacal of Candidate Coex. The one end one-half per cent. flat tax would of course be passed along to the consumer #nd would be an inveluntary, but nene the less byrdensome and widely applied, songumption tax for all to bear. It is pointed out by men eompetent to pass on questions of taxation that the tex Mr. Cox favors weuld be not omly passed on to the consumer but would Be maitipled, perhaps many times mul- tiplied. ¥t would be paid by the people without any reference to the question of | their ability to pay. It would increase the cost of living and would fall mere beavily on the small business man than an the big business comcern. Pienty of evidenee is coming to hand that the tax proposals of Geverner Cox, while they may please certain elements in Migh financial quarters, are not re- garded with favor by business men in Seneral, by livestock men, farmers and others. It is not overlooked that the €emocratic mominee is himself a man of great wealth. He is in the million- aire class. And whether that has any- thing to do with his advocacy of eon- sumption taxes whieh will increase the coet of living already high. and can but tend to lighten the tax load of those most able to pay it is at least widely looked om s remarkable that a candi- date sheuld in epe breath oppose con- sumption taxes and in the next come out for 2 plan of taxation which is sure to be impesed on the consumer. KOUBOPTAKIN IN PERSIA Information that the new military campaign in Persia is more of a Mo- hammedan movement than a commun- Ist ome is brought to this country by LieutCol. James Ulio, U. S. A. who 2ays further that General Kouropatkin of Russio-Japanee war fame is at the head of the “red” forees. Col Ulio who has re- cently returned frem Transcaucasia was one of the Ameriean army offieers whom the allied high cemmissioner ordered to leave Armenmia to avaid contaet with the bolshevists, whieh might have prov- ed a2 gomree uf complications for the United States. Turkish officers, among whom Enver Pasha was prominent, have been the real leaders of the so-called bolshevist revolytion in Aerbaidjan and in their participation is seen th Mohammedan trend, although Enver Pasha has been an offieer in the soviet army for a year ‘end is werkigg hand in glove with Tret- ; #ky.| The Kouropatkin forces control the Caspian Sea and it 18 by the Caspian, mot through Armenia, that Persia is now being invaded by this general's troops. The Armenias, Col. Ulio told Near East officials, are very hostile to the whole communist idea, and they have calied all their men from 18 to 45 te the celors to fight any passage of - goviet treeps through Armenia to hook ®p with the Turkish natiomalists. That |absorbed the conservatien is why Gen. Kourepatkin is making his has been fostered against .the British and no great resistance is expected frem. thre Persians. When the Persian govern- ment sent a deputation to Kourupatkin and said that Persia was neutral and requested him to withdraw the Russian troops from Perfan territory, he replied that ‘Russia would quit Persia when the British did, and not before.’ ” The food situation throughout Trans- caucasia is very bad Col. Ulio declar- ed. The harvest this year will be at least 25 per cent. short of requirements. -quired before next year's harvest is ‘due to prevent famine in Armeria. The new campaign may easily become a menace of vast jmpertance when it has linked together the dewastating bol- shevist and the fanatical devetion of the Mokammedans. THE SUPPLY OF SUGAR The prediction by Stanley Wyckeff in Indiana that sugar prices are likely to fall to an appreciable’ extent is cheer- ing. Mr. Wyckoff's opinion is probably based on fendencies Which he, as fair price commissioner, has had occasion to observe. From other sourees vome pre- dietions of similar nature. In fact, Mr. Wyckoff is among the later prophets in this partieylar instance. Notable among others who have previously predicted a break in ‘sugar prices are the eandy makers, some of whem have requested sugar licenses in order that they may throw their reserve stocks on the market while the priee is still within reach of the price they reeently were obliged te pay for sugar. Mention is made of the possibility that the supply has hecome so shundmnt that competition to meet the demand has sprung up. What is meant is met the supply of raw sugar, mor if the refiners in their monthly bulletins give a truthful account of their output—and there is no reason to believe that they d@o not—the supply of refined sugar to the con- sumer. 1t appears that certain men of a speculative turn of mind have decid- ed in the face of general price adjust- ments, now is & good time to unload. A survey of the situation early in the spring provided information upon Which a reasonable person might state with a clear comseience that most of the ad- viee given to housewives abomt putting dside all the sugar for canaing purpoes that they ecould lay hands on was open to question. There is mo easier way of running up sugar prices than by em couraging hoarding, but hearding in- evitably defeats itself unless accompan- ied by skilfull manipulation of the sup- ply, and the Cuban sugar growers and About 15,000 toms of flour will h,n—l brokers balked at throwing raw sugar away to keep the price level high. However, there is still no law to prevent further tampering with the market. Speculators can still gam- ble with pieces of paper representing carloads of gugar. AGREEE STATESMAN’S TRIUMPH The recent attempted asassmnation in Paris of Eleutherios Venizelos the Greek premier, came at a time to eall attention anew to the triumphs of this statesman of the war period. The bullets of the assassin were too late ta rob Greeee of the benefits of his statesmanship and it is to be hoped that he Will recover from the attempt oen his life and live to see] Greece realize the fruits of what he has done for her. The whole career of the Greek prem- ier has been ome of the most amazing in the history of modern government, but the situation of Greece at the time of the world war with a king with stronz pro-German leanings, brought on the cli- max for Venizelos. He had a difficult task eonfrenting hith, but he saw where the interests of Greeee lay amd he de- voted every effort to holding his native land on the side of the allies. He suc- ceeded and is entitled to the praise that no statesman of the war period achieved more for his country than he did. ing his stay in Paris he has been com- pleting his work and the past week had witnessed the consummation ef the whole. The treaties with Turkey and Bulgaria have been signed, the conflict with Ttaly over the Dodecanese ques- tien has just been pettled, While the Greek soldiers have recently done their work in Thrace and Anatolia. It was in this hour of triumph after his work had been completely rounded out that the attempt was made upon the Premier's life by two officers who claimed (0 be aeting to “free Greece.” Their real objeet; doubtless, was to bring baeck the “neterjus Constantine to the throne in Athems. The Greek prem- ier's life had been threatemed before, but he had gome reselutely en his way in pressing what he regarded as the right- eous claims of his country. He has proved to be eme of the realiy big states; men of the war period a»d his name will be inseparably associated with the re- alization ef the vision for a greater Greece.

It must give one such a- sat- isfled, restful feeling!" “I should think it might,” agreed the young man. “But we were talking about me—the reason I am so interested is that 1 never have time to think much about myself.
