Politics is the Barrier
Odessa, March 30.?The economic
deadlock from which Russia is now
suffering can be seen best at such a
port as this. The wide sea is at the
gates of this once rich city, yet a
barrier more potent than water separates
the land from new prosperity.
This barrier is politics and the result
of politics.
Free trade between the citizens of
Russia and the outside world is not
now possible between, individuals.
Russians must deal with foreigners
through the Foreign Trade board,
headed byy I,enoid Krassin in London.
This poliey just now is blocking
trade prospects here as elsewhere.
To this port once came yearly 700
ships. Today a few Greek trading
ships call here from Constantinople
carrying flour and sugar. Now and
then a British vessel delivers a cargo
of coal paid for in London. American
vessels and landing seed grain
purchased in the same manner.
Local business men say there can
be no veal trade with Russia until all
the Communist regulations are
thrown overboard, private property
fully recognized, a stable money secured
and Russia restored to production,
through long-time foreign
loans.
These men are not anti-Communists
just for the sake of politics. They
want the Communists to stay in pow?
or. provided they will make trade
possible. They say the Communists
are the-only people capable of holding
Russia together, that any new
government would mean another revolution
and more ruin.
The first task of Russia and especially
of agricultural Ukraine, is
to grow wheat. Here in Odessa
there are still the representatives of
half a dozen American, British and
German agricultural implement firms.
In the old pre-war days they sold
each millions of dollars worth of machinery.
Today they are ready to be
Kin again under the right conditions.
Their agents could save next year's
harvest in this granary of Europe if
free trade were permitted. The'r
steam plows could do the work of the
horses killed off under the Communist
regime. They could get spare
parts and repair the old machinery
now in the villages.
Hut this they are not permitted
to do. The government, if it supplies
such machinery by payment of gold
abroad, is obliged to turn it over to
inexperienced farmers or ones without
capital. Machinery bought by
the government in small quantities
has in certain parts of Russia, been
resold by the receivers in order to
get bread.
Jugoslavia Looking
To U. S. For Aid
Belgrade, Jugoslavia, March 30.?
Jugoslavia is looking to the United
States in the hope of obtaining aid in
solving her grave financial and economic
problems. The little Slav state
believes it cannot overcome them
without foreign assistance.
Its obligations amount to nearly
$1 000,000.000 including an indebtedness
of more than $50,000,000 to the
United States and twice that sum to
England.
The dinar, the country's unit of
currency, (normally worth about 19
cents) has reached the pitiful exchange
level of a cent and a quarter.
The amount of outstanding paper
money is nearly 5,000,000,000 dinars.
Of this sum only 400,000,000 dinars
is covered by ygold reserve or securi
lies. i lie scaie s uuieoieuness 10 me
National Bank is 4,500,000,000 dinars.
The budget for the new year has
reached the staggering total of 6,000,000,000
dinars. This is 30 times
greater than pre-war budgets. Moi"*
than a third of this is for military
and defense purposes. The nutional
revenue is much below the total of
the budget.
The government is faced with tremendous
problems of reconstruction
which are believed to be impossible
to eompPete without loans from
abroad.
Throughout the southern part of
the kingdom most of the instruments
of industry are either destroyed or
are seriously insufficient. Railroads
are out of order or function very
poorly.
That the government does not despair
of the outlook is shown by an
optimistic statement of the Minister
of Finance to Parliament, in which
he said: "Our state possesses within
its frontiers all the elements necessarry
for great prosperity and the
means of securing a more rapid restoration
than any other country
which may have suffered the same
losses. Our coal, our iron and other
mineral products, our varied agricultural
production, our great watei
power, exhaustless forests, immense
river traffic, our contact with the
great nidustria) centers of Central
Europe and the apportionment oi
property union# the people?all oi
these conditions, I am sure, will contribute
to the rapid restoration ol
our kingdom. There is no economk
reason why we should despair of oui
future."

cries. Among other things, they ha<

books.
Sells Material t
And Buys it Back
Chicago, 111., March 31.?The United
States in normal times sells "approximately
two billion dollars worth
of raw materials to the art centers of
Europe and buys it back in manufactured,
artistic forms, such as textiles,
wall-paper and cretons of the best design,
for some six billion dollars,"
says Col. William Nelson Pelouze of
this city, president of the new Association
of Arts and Industries. "Our
organization seeks to help the country
save the four billions it pays for
European industrial art. We shall
work chiefly in the Middle West." The
association has just been formed by
the amalgamation of the Alliance of
Art and Industry, which was originally
the Art Alliance, with the National
Art Service League.
While making its argument in financial
terms, the organization represents
both manufacturers who want better
business and artists and art lovers
who want a more artistic America.
The board of directors includes on the
one hand John M. Glenn of Chicago,
secretary of the Illinois Manufacturers'
Association and George II.
Meyercord of Chicago, former president
of the same body, and on the
other Robert Harshe and Frank G.
Logan, director and vice president respectively
of the Art Institute of Chicago.
! "We must train American artisons
and designers in order to survive '
competition otherwise ruinous," says '
Mr. Logan. "Europe has numbers of '
schools for this great purpose; Amer- J
ica has been singularly negligent. At
last the manufacturers are beginning
to wake up. This is a great hour for 1
American industry." 1
The program of the association is
three-fold. Primarily it seeks the establishment
of an industrial art school
or schools in the Middle West. Mean- 1
while it will seek to make the most 1
of the American talent already train- 1
ed, chiefly through the placement se:-- '
tion designed to bring together the designer
and the employing manufa-*- 1
turer; and to "educate" the public <
taste.
The association looks to manufa:- 1
turers for the support of schools or
departments of schools which tea< h
industi ial arts. !
It is believed the placement section ]
will enter a field hitherto hard'y i
scratched. Executives of the organi- i
zation, who are communicating with <
existing employment agencies with
a view to their cooperation, say that i
the other day a Chicago agency re- ]
ceived an application for work from a
designer in steel and wrought iron, a I
type of craftsman who is somewhat
unfamiliar. This is believed to indi- '
cate that there are trained designers
in the country of various types though
there are no channels specifically for
placiAK such persons with employers.
The organization will avoid the word i
"employment bureau," holding that
the title, "placement section" will
seem more dignified to the arstists |
and craftsmen who are fitted to do the
work demanded. When the war threw ^
America on its own resources, according
to members of the association, it '
was discovered that there was talent 1
in America equal to the tasks formerly
delegated to Europe.
In the "education of the public
taste" leaders of the movement see
one of their hardest tasks.
"One lion in our path," says Col.
Pelouze, "is the infatuation of consumers
with the words 'made in Europe.'
We mean to destroy this lion
through lectures, literature and particularly
exhibits which will prove 1
that America <jan produce artistic
things as well as Europe. We must
also teach people who buy Americanmade
goods to demand the tasteful 1
rather than the trashy."
Oldest Center of
* : if r? i
Learning nas i\ivai
Dublin, April 2.?The Royal Irish
Academy, Ireland's oldest center of
learning, is now to have a rival. It
( has long been famous, especially in
, its contributions to science. However,
it has mainly looked to England
rather than to Ireland or other coun
tries for its models and inspiration
, and, in the light with the British, it
, expelled Professor John MacNeill,
, speaker of the Dail Eireann and a
, distinguished Irish historian, in consequence
of his political activities.
The new academy is to be thorough!
ly national and, in addition to its
. scientific work, aims at securing foi
| the Irish language, literature, and
history their primacy of influence and
inspiration at home and for, all Irish
( work and research an extended measure
of appreciation among the learned
r acamedies of Europe and America.
A drafting committee has been ap.
pointed to draw up the constitution
of the new body. At its head is Pro.
fessor Conway, Fellow of the Royal
, Society, who is a professor in the
( National University.

t including Professor John MacNeill,
j are also on the drafting committee
as well as some professors of St.
^ Patrick's College, Maynooth. Trin,
,jty College is holding aloof, for it
i has a very strong representation on
the old academy, amounting perhaps
to 80 percent of its membership.
) There is on the committee one profesi
sor from the Queen's University,
> He 1 fast, Professor Robert M. Henry
who, however, does not claim in this
. matter to speak for his university.

Nation-wide Investigation i
Of Unembployment
New York, March 30.?A nationwide
investigation of unemployment i
in the United States, as affected by i
the business cycle, is being made by i
the National Bureau of Economic <
Research. t
This inquiry is defined as an en- I
ieavor to reduce economic waste, to t
increase production and to formulate
i comprehensive policy and program *
Tor the better control of the factors v
in business and industry hitherto left e
largely to chance. i
It is expected that, together with
the companion inquiry on seasonal h
unemployment which will follow, it c
will disclose definitely the causes, u
trends and distribution of unemploy- 1>
ment. o
Wesley Clair Mitchell, the bureau's il
lirector of research, is conducting the
inquiry under the auspices of the t
standing committee which was left in h
ueing by the President's Conference f
>n Unemployment and of which e
Secretary of Commerce Hoover is g
hairman. I
On the basis of the information a
jbtained, the committee hopes to rec- c
jmmend a concrete policy and pro- o
?ram of control to displace tempo- t
rary pallatives and emergency nieas- o
ures in dealing with the unemployment
problem in this country. I
The whole movement, the bureau t
says, has the interest and cooperation C
>f numerous organizations, including s
the Sage foundation and the Federat- f
ed American Engineering Societies, i
The inquiry will consume six months ii
The scope and importance of the a
material to be gathered is summa
rized by the bureau as follows:
"Description of unemployymenl:
What the present statistics show.
Types of unemployed. Under-em- t
ployment. Reliability of present pay- s
roll data as an index to unemploy- s
ment. Can such data be a trust- s
worthy index ?
"Relations of unemployyment to i

Church Has its Best ]
Opportunity in the South I
Newark, N. J., March 30.?There '
are 11,000,000 negroes in the United *
States, Rev. I. Garland Penn told the a
members of the Newark conference 8
of the Methodist Episcopal church j
here tonight. "Thirty per cent of
the population of the South is negro,"
be added, "yet over forty per cent
of all the persons engaged in agriculture
in the South are negroes. It <
is here that the church has its best 1
opportunities for the uplift of the i
masses of the negro people. '
"Five hundred thousand negroes .
have recently shifted from agricul- 1
tural life of the South to industrial
centers of the North. In Harlem, 1
New York Cityy, there are 150,000
negroes, the seating capacity of the
negro churches of Harlem is only 20,000.
This unchurched situation has
its counterpart in Chicago and is an '
acute problem in every large city of
the North. The Methodist Episcopal
church has developed negro institu- 1
tional churches in New York, Phila- 1
delphia, Baltimore, Detroit, Chicago
and other Northern cities.
Approximately 250,000 young people
have been enrolled in our institutions.
Only about 18,000 can be
classed as graduates, but the fact
that they have been enrolled and have
had training in our institutions has
had a marked influence in the uplift
of the negro people along all lines.
Many of the under graduates have
gone into other institutions and grad- |
uated.
Shipment of Brick and Stone
Manila, P. I., Feb. 20.?(By Mail).
?After traveling more than half '
way around the world, a shipment of
what was supposed to be cotton textiles,
turned out to be bricks, paving
stone and hay.
On February 12th the freighter,
Ocean Monarch .arrived here from
New York and way ports bringing a '
cargo of general merchandise. The
ship's manifest showed that a ship- ,
ment of cotton textiles was consigned
to Lim Tuico and Company, a
Chinese firm. When the cargo was
unloaded, the cases were taken to
that concern's warehouse where they
.. r i-i.... ii ii ii ii ml r i n 11 fin..-.il 4a ~ 4 1a ?
vvcic uj/rncu auu lUUIIU IU I'UIUU 111
only bricks, granite blocks and hay.
The manager of Lim Tuico and Company
told the surveyor of the port
that the paving stones which were
carefully packed in cases, were about
one foot square and very similar to
the stone used in pavement of streets
in New York.
The surveyor said the fact that
the stone was carefully packed in
cases led him to believe that the substitution
was made at New York before
the cases were placed on board
ship.
An attempt to circle the earth in a
sailboat, 46 feet long and of 12 tons
displacement, will be made by four
Austrian sportsmen. The first leg of
the journey will be by way of Gibraltar
to New York.
American History to
Be Studied in England
London, March 28.?An appeal foi
leeper and more syystematic study
n England of American history and
nstitutions has been made by Dr
jeorge Peabody Gooch, a prominent
)olitical author, before the Society ot
Experiment and Research in Educaion
at the University College here.
One reason for the appalling nejlect
on this side of American history
vas, he thought, "the deep and in'radicable
conviction that American
listory was dull."
"People here have a sort of idea,"
le went on, "that when America beanie
independent she didn't concern
is any more, and to this day we
;tiow more about the American colnial
period than about the period of
ndependence."
American literature, Dr. Gooch coninued,
has been carefully studied
ere but thejre were extraordinarily
ew books by English writers on Amlican
history and institutions. While
;iving due praise to the works of
ami Bryce, Sir George Trevelyan
nd Lecky, he had come to the contusion
he said that English people
nly read American historians when
heyy were not writing about their
wn country.
Professor Harold I,aski, of London
Jniversity, advocated reforms in the
caching methods at Oxford and
Cambridge, contrasting the American
yystem with the English much in
avor of the former, because, he said,
t left something to the student's
magination and stimulated his cretive
genius.
Cabinet Responsible for Evil
Santiago, April 1.?Instability of
'hilean cabinets is largely responible
for the "great evils now beetting
the country," President Alesandri
said in a communication to
nembers of his latest official family
n which he asked them to withdraw
heir resignations, given last month
ifter a motion of lack of confidence
vas rejected by the Chamber of
Deputies.
The president has taken the stand
hat cabinets should only resign in
ace of a frank vote to that effect
n parliament^.
Observers of politics here agree
:hat the ministerial crises usually
ire provoked through personal pique
>r, as one publication expressed it,
vith the "deliberate intention of
ipening the way for a scramble for
iffice." Three ministries have come
ind gone in President Alessandri's
irst year in office while there were
18 different cabinet's during his
jredecessor's term.
The newspaper El Mercurio, bittery
attacks tha methods of "plotting
he fall of p^uamm*nt" which it
lays is creating parliamentary anirchy.
Methodist Press
Centenary Movement
Nashville, Tenn., March 29.?Dr. .1
J. Stowe, secretary of the stewardship
and tithing department of the Missionary
Centenary movement of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, ha:just
returned to Nashville headquarters
after a round of visits through
Mississippi, Georgia and other sections
of Southern Methodist territory
in the interest of "World Sunday*
2G the church-wide collections campaign
in behalf of overdue subscriptions
to the world program of Methodist
missions.
Dr. Stowe announced that in th<
12 or more places visited by him he
conferred with pastors, presiding el
ders and laymen, held district group
meeting and congregational gather
mgs, ana wia* everywnere ne I'ncountered
a spirit of optimism and was
assured of the hearty support of all
the agencies of the church in bringing
the collection of overdue centenary
money to a successful consummation
Dr. Stowe stated that the present
movement was not an effort to secure
new money but to meet the shortage
in collections, due to the fact that the
centenary amount is now due ane
third annual payment on the e-ntire
lacks 20 per cent of realization. Dr
Stowe expressed the belief that when
the centenary forces retired from the
field the week following "World Sun
day" a sufficient amount would have
been collected on unpaid subscription'
to assure the final success of the
movement and the uninterrupted! progress
of the missionary program made
possible by the subscription of $35.
000,000 for world missions.

WHERE?
Total Grain Yield of Russia
|
Moscow, March 28.?Russia's total
. grain yield for 11)22 will be only
, about one-half the average before the
I war, the Commissar of Agriculture
estimates. He forecasts the total as
' 2,000,000,000 poods (of about 3G
pounds each). This would allow only
, a little more than one and one-third
pounds of bread a day for each in,
habitant. To make such an equal
distribution, however, would be impossible
with Russia's disorganized
i ail ways.
The 1022 crop will be small, it is
estimated, principally because of the
failure of the seed campaign. Some
of the seed purchased in America for
the government may arrive in time
for use but, up to the present, out of
the 11) ,000,000 poods of seed grain
which the government hoped to furnish,
only 7,000,000 poods have been
received. Much of this according to
the State 1'lan Commission, which
was charged with its gathering, is of
poor quality and some absolutely useless.
The unexpected famine in the Ukraine
also contributed to the lack of
?eed and grain.
The government has decided, it is
said, to lix the natural tax levy this
year at 380,000,000 poods, or about
11) percent as compared with 2GQ,- c
000,000 poods requested but not all
secured last yea p.
The 1922 tax is to be based solely
upon rye yield, eliminating special
taxes on vegetables, hay. etc., but assessing
these products upon a basis
of their equivalent value in rye. The
produce secured by the tax would be
used for government rations feeding
the Red army.
Dishwashers are not
"Down and Out"
San Francisco, March 28. All hotel
and restaurant dishwashers are
not "down and out," according to M
George P. M. Howns, San Francisco _
dishwasher, a leader in the union ?
movement and one of the best orators I
in labor ranks in this eiiv I
"The average dishwasher is well
educated," Bowns said recently. "A
large number' of them are college or
university graduates. You will find
in our ranks men who have graduated
in law, medicine and other professions.
I am a dishwasher by
choice."
Bowns says he is a graduate of
Union College, Schenectady, N. Y.,
and asserts he attended the Nationa.'
Catholic University in Washington, t
I)., for some time. He was raised in 1
Troy, N. Y.
At present Bowns is vice-president j
of Cooks Helpers' Union laical No. j

ecutive board of the culinary crafts, *
financial secretary-treasurer of the J
San Francisco Isabel Section and s
