Means of Weathering 5
Financial Crisis
-4^ Moscow, July.*' 14.?Limitation of I
production and probably the closing
down of several factories have been
recommended by a special commission
of experts in a report to the
Council of Labor and Defense as a
means of weathering the industrial
crisis, which, after a few months of
revival of Russian trade, has again
become acute.
Since 1918 the Soviet government 1
has many times been obliged to re- 8
sort to limitation of industry due to c
shortage of fuel, raw materials or ^
food, but the cause of the present
stringency is different.
Limited sules, bad trade connections
with the provinces, and the in- ^
sufficiecy of < working capital at the
disposal of the various government ^
trusts and syndicates all have contributed
to the present situation. ^
Since the inauguration of the new
economic poliey the various nationalized
industries have been combined ?
in trust* and -Syndicates and reorganized
t(V Wfirlf -nn.( Q V : ~ I
- ? .. ^ Wiiimciv. tai> uaMS. I
All concerns have been deprived of
government aupplies and their employees
no longer are rationed. Having
begun, with very small capital .
at a time when the Soviet ruble was
continuously depreciating in purchasing
power,'they had to fall back upon
their old stocks and later when they
began to increase production in order
to manufacture sufficient goods to
obtain funds'-for future operations.
As a result the markets soon were
flooded with goods. Owing to the ab#
normality of trade conditions and the
low purchasing-t.power of the ruble,
these goods could .neit)ier be. sold
freely to wholesalers nor direct to
consumers.'The
commission > proposes that
practically*every industry be- curtailed.
The program .fixes the. following
percentages of reduction: Coal industry
by wlf>-vf>eieent;- mines < by 83
percent; gojdtand.platinum -by 12 per-g
cent; salt, 33-percent; metal, six t< ,
seven percent; cotton textiles, .25 percent;
wool,c20; percent; flax, 20 percent;
silk 10- percent; leather, 16 percent;
chemioalifWe percent; glass, '
64 percent^-chiria^34 percent.
The commission -.also reports that
prouucioin nas ianen greatly in com C
parison with pre-war output, the ra- f
tio being from seven and ,one<-half I
percent in the metal industry up to F
61 percent in the electrical. E
"Indlustrial Life," in a recent Is- E
sue, says that the new bankruptcy 1
law, now being drafted, will provid* [
that the government shall not be re E
sponsible . for the debts of state- C
managed concerns. This decree, how- I.
ever, has not yet been adopted by th? F
Council of Commissars. A

Frontiers Threatened (
*fc' With Russian Invasion 1
t
Bucharest, Rumania, July IT.? ^
Rumania considers that her frontiers ?
are threatened with a Russian in- *
vasion, not necessardv of armed men, ^
r
but rather by st-nving thousands
who may be driven i.i August from ^
the Volga basin by crop failures *
She fears a repitition of the move- ^
ment of the - trekking multitudes ?
which left the Volga last summer, ^
driven out by hunger. ^
What steps should be taken if this *
happen?i?. Thess- people -ennnot Le _
shot down with machine guns as they
cross the boundary line, and it may ^
not be possible otherwise to stern the 1
flow to any appreciable degree for *
the frontier is long and the Rumanian
army is not large., ?
Poland is equally interested with
Rumania. She is subject to the same
invasion. The recent visit here of
President Pilsudski, of Poland, was "
to consult as to a course of mutual
action. In August the Rumanian and
Polish- crops will be ready for harv- J
a estf-and neither country wants its
^ food supplies ^to be depleted by the '
thousands of Russians who may make f
a last effort to save their lives. ?

Swedish Shipping Recovering
Stockholm, July 14.?Less than
eight percent of Swedish shipping is
now idle, according to the latest report
of the Swedish Shipowners' Association.
This report shows a sharp
contrast to conditions a year ago,
when in June Swedish shipping depression
reuched bottom mark with
over 44 percent of the country's total
tonnage idle and nearly 46* percent
of the men employed laid off. The
report-of the Shipowners' Association
covers only its membership, but vii
tually all of the country's shipping
is owned by members of the Association^
The recovery of Sweden in shipping
U based largely on the country's
approach to normal in many of its
most* important industries sand the
rapid increase in exports.

Kent with a 60-acre orchard has

Only 2 Percent Drinkable/
i PerHs besetting. thfe.unbib>r of bootleg
whiskey were forcibly demonstrated^
today-by a statement of Prohibition
Commissioner H&yne6, who told the
^tafethat only 2 per cent of the liquor
analyzed by chemists of the prohibition
forces is found to be drinkable.
The other 98 per cent is poison.
"The poison contents of bootleg
whiskey cannot be too strongly emphasized,"
Mr. Haynes Slid today.
"Continually we find whiskey brought
in after raids-which-would1 be deadly
il taken in sufficient quantities."
In Washington there is a prohibition
department storehouse, in which
there are hundreds of gallons' jf whiskey,
bottled as genuine whiskey
should be, but which are only bootleg
preparations and which contained
wood alcohol or formaldehyde or large
quantities of fusel oil.
An interesting anecdote is told by
Commissioner Haynes to illustrate
what the bootleg whiskey drinker may
expect.
A group of agents raided a still in
a mountainous -section not far away
from this part of the country. They
got plenty of mash and plenty of alleged
liquor. One of them, an expert,
on examining the liquor said to
il
ine prisoner:
"Great seott, man, do you drink this
stuff?"
The manufacturer was shocked at
the. question.
"You bet your life I don't," he replied
in disgust. "This is made to sell.
I wouldn't risk my life with a drink
of it."?News item, Washington (D.
0.) Star.
Home Brewing on Decline
New England rapidly is losing- interest
in the formerly absorbing.topic
of home brew. It also is losing its
taste for the various concoction* for.
m^rly manufactured on quite an extensive
scale.
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes,
commenting on the decline of the "industry"
in that section, says the demand
for yeast, hope and malt has
dropped off by half from the peak of
the fad. And the decline continues.
The passionate earnestness of the
American people when- in pursuit of a
new fancy is a subject'-of humorous
comment even with those who are rated
as among tho most paeeionate faddists.
Fortunately, we do not take our
hobbies too seriously. t
Home brewing ^became--the "rage"
when thfe country went dry ami -the"
"real old stuff" was not available. Everybody?
it seemed, was seized simultaneously
with a wild desire to manufacture
something with a "kick" in it.
" The experiments,* the ?trials, the
tribulations and the regrets of the
home brew makers have furnished unlimited
"copy" for witsmiths in the
heebie* days- sinoe Mr?-Volstead had
congress put Its official "okeh" on the
famous act which bears his name. - It
wao~great-sport while it lasj^d.
But it didn't last long. One by oner<
the devotees at the shrine of homo
mi?w I'cn uref wi iryiof^ *o violate
the act with the assistance of smelly i
concoctions an?l the kitohen stove. - It
somehow-didn't seen* right Xo parade
a deliberate infraction of the lave before
the children. Then, too, there
war the menace to health- .New
England'* experience probably
is -typical of the entire-country. In big
issues, such as-this, Americans nearly
always think, ami act alike. When
New England tiree-of. making Jiome
