The experi- ment of Russia, which started in 1917, wag interesting, because it showed that the aim of the revoi- utionaries was to equalize the pos- session of wealth in a country where there was a very large peas- ant class and a small, but very wealthy class. The uneven dis- tribution of wealth, he contended, was the basis of the economic trouble of today, instancing the fact that France and Russia con- trolled a large section of the world's gold supply as one of the factors entering into the situa- tion. In this country, Mr. Frazer as- serted, there was an 'uneven dis- tribution of wealth, and the work- ing classes had not the same apti- tude for wise investment of their savings as did the wealthy class. Money, he said, could be made to earn 25 per cent a year, but the it in the bank at a small rate of interest.

As the Soviet Government con- trols all foreign purchases, per- mission of Moscow would need to be obtained through diplomatic channels, but advocates of the wine-trade drive believe Mos- cow's rulers would be glad of prcpaganda that would end the vodka habit, The Russian revolution, as with the downfall of other Euro- een roya}.courts, struck a stg- sian masses, good wine being s0ld to them almost as cheaply us it is available in France to the wcrking people. It is claimed that wine would prove as beneficial to the Rus- sians as it does to the laboring classes in Latin countries, where it is a staple source oy nourigh- ment. As for champagne, the outlook is not so bright. With a crop amounting in quantity some years to 25,000,000 bottles as azainst a falling market, stocks 2re accumulating and prices for lesser known brands becoming Icwer. Champagne has always been the wine of kings and other roy- alty, and the passing of so many crowned heads has had woeful ef- fects. The former Queen of Syain paid a visit to Rheims from her exile in Fontainbleau and, drinking a glass of the hub. bling beverage, remarked: "This is the only wine I like to drink." There are still a few roval cus- tomers for champagne in Eurgpe, notably the King of England, King of the Belgians and the ru- lers of the Scandinavian coun- tries and Holland, and of course the Itallan Royal House. But in none of the palaces of thesé mon- the highways.

Under the bril- liant Czarist regime, when pal- aces and dukal mansions glitter- ed nightly while the aristocracy made merry, rare wines and es- pecially champagnes flowed with a prodigality that made the Itheims wine merchants rejoice. Champagne is still exported to Russia, but in' comparatively meager quantities. The French have no hope of reviving the champagne trade with the U.8.8.- R. unless the five-year plan brings enough wealth to the country to enable the average men to have champagne.

Prairie Premiers Agree for Scheme Winnipeg, Man., July 28 --Fi- nancial assistance by the Domin- fon Government in 'handling the fooled wheat crop of the West is an integral portion of a pool-op- eration plan unanimously agreed on recently by a committee re- presenting the three Prairie G.v- ernments and the wheat pools of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al- berta, Agreement was reached after a four-day session. Out of courtesy to Premier R. Bennett, whose Proposed ------ "trading corporation" to hand] the pool-crop is believed to hav been followed, details of the pla i were not announced when Pre mier John Bracken of Manitob told of the final agreement. H mentioned that the plan will b submitted to pool boards and th Dominion Premier as soon as pos sible; | "Speaking generally," Mr) Bracken announced, "it may be said that the plan provides for the financing of the 1931 cro with the assistance of the Domin. ion Government; it enables the" operation of the three provincia elevator systems as individual units and provides for a centra co-ordinating body. r "Confidence 4vas expressed? that the plan agreed upon will bal found acceptable both to t a} hoards concerned to whom it is row being submitted, and to thel Frime Minister with whom a con.t ference will be sought immedi} ately," Mr. Bracken added. The? provincial organizations are pr. .% ceeding to complete the detai)s® necessary in order to be in a posi-} ticn to handle the crop without confusion or delay. ¢ The central co-ordinating b..* dy" mentioned by Premier Brac.* ken is regarded as a parallel of: the "tradiyg. corporation" whosu! formation along the lines sug-! gested by Premier Bennett wash understood to he a prerequisitn to Dominion financial aid.
