I The chief Russian delegates, Tchitcler . Krassin and Vorovaky, are remaining Santa Margherita for a few days nger, mot only to megotlate the Itaio- Russtan commereisal treaty, but also to ake arrangements with important senoess firms about trade. facilities be- tween Italy and Russia. The idea_of M. Tehitcherin seems to favor the ex- ploltation of southern Ruasia by the alians establishing several navigation lines between Genoa, Naples, Trisste and the Black Sea. Signor Schanzeer, the Ttallan forelgn minister, has invited Baron Avezzano to be Iallan plenipotentiary at The Hague, on June 16, when the countries represented at the Genoa conference must chooss Which among them B8hall be representsd on the experts commis- sion to stduy Russian problems. Count Avezzano has not yet accepted, owing o the health of his wife. M. Krassin has opened a special of- fice hers, to which is entrusted the task of dealing with commercial affairs. Tt is headed by Dr. Feinstein, considered one of the most experlenced of Russian bus- iness men. One of the gravest difficulties encount. #red in planning the re-establishment of commercial relations is the method of payment by Italian goods exported to Rassia, as Russian curmency has so de- preciated that it 1s worth practically votbing, whils the Russians have few goods avaiiable for exportation which might bs exchanged for Ittalian commo- tities multansously with the nagotiations for a commarcial treaty, M.

While wide latitude is given capitalls_ tio and industridl effort, the decree nevertheless provides that everything must be limited to the soviet laws and gives the sovieb the right to void any agreement which “obviously is directed to harm the state.” A special clause was added to the law on motion of the communistic factlon at the last moment which makes it non-re- troactive. It specifically denies rights un- der the laws to previous owners wh property was expropriated on the grounds of revolutionary law up to the time of the fssue of the decree and does not give them the right to demand return of the property. Foreigners under the decree have the same rights as Russian citizens, if they previously have secured permisston from the proper authorities to operate in Rus- sia. The right of the protection of the Russian court is given to persons abroad suing on contracts and other matters in Russia, only in the event that Russian citizens similarly have access to the courts of the nationals who sue in” Rus- sia. Soviet officlals today told The Associat- ed Press they censidered this decree largely meets the condition of Secretary of State Hughes for American trade in Russla. They further declared that the law expresses the maximum of surrender to capitalism Russla is ready to, make, and that its limits define the limits of retreat which Nikolai Lenine in.a re- cent speech mentioned as having ended. Regarding the ownership rights in buildings not nationalized up to date, M. Kursky, commissar for justice, told ‘The Assoclated Press that virtually all large structures in Russia had been na- tionalized, thus leaving few of them affected by the new law. The committee also unanimously pass- ed the government's ne~ 'and policy, re- iterating the prineiple of state ownmershin of allVAnds DUt piv. i, e tenure for peasants working it The measure pro- vides that none may buy ‘or sell land but that it may remain indefinitely, in the possession of those cultivating it. In addition to the above the new land law provides persons may be deprived of land if they leaye it voluntarily and fail tb cultivate it for three consecutive years; if they try to sell or pawn their holdings; if they emigrate, or if the Dlots are wanted for state PUrposes. Peasants temporarily unable to culti- vate the land themselves may lease it for 2 maximum of two sowing seasons.

The painting Is estimated by art experts to be worth from $75,. 900 to $100,000. The plcture measures about 25 by 30 inches.

Gillen, former trustes of the Emergency Fleet corporation who was indieted with Charles W. Morse and his sons, the ship- bullders, for using the mails to defraud ivestors, today made public a letter he #aid he had sent tg President Harding, Attorney General Daugherty and sixteen members of the senate judiciary commit- tee, attacking Emil Schleinger, general counsel to the shipping board in charge of the Morse matters, and his special as- sistant, Fletcher Dobyns. He declared they “used the sacred and powerful ma- chinery of the department of justice and grand jury to indict an innocent man by withholding from the grand jury all of the pertinent facts, eleven distinguished material witnesses and.important public documents." ‘ Mr. Gillen urged an immediate investi- gation of charges against him. Among those whose testimony, he claims, will clear him are John Barton Payne and Admiral W. S. Benson, former chairmen of the Emergency Fleet corporation and of the United States shipping board. Charges similar to fhose made today were presented before Federal Judge Augustus N. Hand last week when Gillen petitioned the court to quash the indict- mentx “TTie action of the indicting jury was taken, the defendant asserts, on the tes timony of Dobyns that, on April 29, 1920, at Washington, Gillen deliveredto Edwin A. Morse a statement designated as a “memorandum to the truétees, Emergen- cy Fleet corporation,” showing the Vir- ginia Shipbuilding company, promoted by Charles W. Morse, to be possessed of $7,800,000 in assets. It was upon sale of this company's stock on_alieged false pretenses that the government's case was based. v ABE ATTELL CLAIMS ENEMIES “PLANTED" OIL-SOAKED EAGS New York, May 22.—The oil-soaked rags and gasdline which fire inspectors found in Abe Attell's liitle “Ming Toy Bootery” on ‘upper Broadway were “planted by the crowd that trled to in- volve me in the baseball scandal” the former champion featherweight pugilist declared today. d Abe appeared before Fire Wfarshal Thomas Brophy today, escorted by his partners and thelr atiorney, and bearing an arm(ul of insurance policfes and books of the business.

' JRISH LABOR PARTY HAS ‘21 CANDIDATES FOR ELECTION Dublin, May 22 (By the A, P.)»The Yabor party has a list of twenty-one candidates for the June election, but thus far no other candidates have been announced. Befors Saturday's agree- ment- was reached, the farmers’ union was considering putting forward candi- dates. It is thought there will be many uncontested seats. The expectation. however, that the whole election wi: like that of 1920, consist of unopposed returns. is not entertained at the pub- city department of the Dail Eireann. In any event, the supporters of the treaty wWill sec some increase in their majority in the new Dall, for the elec- tion will include four members of Trin- ity college who faver the treaty and who are not members of the present Dail. Any independent candidates who may gucceed would, it s generally thought, also be for the treaty. The Dall will include members for the Ulster seats, and under a provision of the agreement they will be treated as uncontested returns and fall to _their present holders. All these, with the ex- ception of one, hold seats also In ths southern parliament, so that “the point eoncerns only John O'Mahény, member for Tcrmanagh, !

By the terms of the treaty the elec-| tion to the Free State parliament must Do held within twelve months of thal signing of the treaty, and an exact ex- pression of the average public opinion will have to walt until then. In the Ard Fhels the Sinn Fein clubs of Ul- ster are strongly yepresented. At the last meeting they raised the question of the position of the nationalists in the Jx cuonty area. The agreement for a cbal'tion cabinet now forces reconsid- eration of the Ulster problem. It must e _decided whether the united Dail cab- ine> wili accept the Coilns-Cralg pact and endeavor to withdraw all Sinn Fein activities in Ulster, or whether it will adopt an attitude of confict. These are some who think that an un- derstanding might be given that no Stnn Feiners from southern JIreland would in the future Interfere in the six countles, thus leaving the northern Sinn Feiners to fight their own battle with the north- e™n gevernment within ts jurisdiction.
