THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1923, RUSSIK IN COLLAPSE] WHAT BOLSHEVISM HAS DONE | : FOR THE SLAVS. It Was Lenin's Idea to Put the Marx- | fan Theories Into Practice, But | Many Things Have Happened | Since the Soviet Came Into] Power and the Government Has | Been the Country Die. Communistic activities planned or | 'Rbreatened in America, England, Ire land and elsewhere give interest to | 8 recent history of that movement in Russia, the facts of which are drawn | from edicts of the Soviet Govern- | Ment. These show that Lenin's first | 'and sole idea was to put the Marxian | Rheories of communism in force, and © that he seemingly believed sincerely | . that he could thus create a prosper- Ous and happy state. He began by €arrying them out to the letter, says | the Rochester Post-Express. He | completely socialized, as far as! edicts could do so, production, dis- tribution and consumption of wealth. + He took over to the state land, im- © Plements, factories and every other . form of property. Private ownership, ~ Industry for profit, rents, interest disappeared; and money was declar- ed superfluous and deliberately de- based beyond usefulness. The land . Was to be worked in common and its ~ products distributed by the Govern- ment. Factories were put in the hands of groups of workers receiv- ing equal pay; and to accomplish all this, the owners of land and property and the managers and experts in in. dustry were exiled or killed. In fine, the communistic theory, as de- -¥eloped by Marx, the basis of all socialistic schemes, was put into full effect under the most favorable con- ditions which ever existed, or ever will exist, as far as can be seen. The result as shown by successive edicts was utter failure along every line. The peasants would not work the land unless the fruits of their labor were their own. Then the land Was given to them and they were told to keep what they needed of its products and hand the surplus over to the state. They kept all they rais- ed. There was no surplus, for they Would not work to produce a pound of anything in excess of their needs. The country starved. One by one every innovation was abandpned. . Private property in land was re- ~ established, and the peasants produc- ed and sold as they used to,-and paid taxes as in other lands. It was the same in industry. Production under group management fell off and costs increased to such an alarming extent that the theory of equality was given up. All the features of the capitalistic system came back--piece work, bonuses, overtime, penalties for non-work and the like. But this did not improve conditions much. The workers had not brains enough to run their factories and loafed on their jobs. Then the order was issued: "No more equality; no more liberty; workers shall now be mili- rf Ry All were compelled to work; but Production still slumped to 10, four and even one per cent. of what it Was before the revolution. The work- era did not produce enough to keep them alive. Malingering, corruption, theft on a gigantic scale became the order of the day; and finally the working population vanished by Wholesale and a total collapse of in- dustry ensued. We need not review the monetary changes furthe: than to say that by the first of this year eighteen trillions of paper rubles had been issued. The population of Russia had fallen from 180 to 130 millions. The necessaries of life were unob- tainable. 'The only equality attained, #8 the Italian socialistic committee of inquiry stated, was an equality of dversal misery. All the cherished trines were one by one abandoned. Every Marxian theory had utterly broken. down, Every feature of the old capitalistic system has been re- introduced; and Lenin, to save his face, makes the childish crawl out that capitalism must come back, show the workers how to work, and be converted to sociaiism. History shows no other such com- plete collapse of a theory of govern- ment as this, and the reason is ob- vious. Human nature--all the in- stincts of mankind--rejected il, re- - fused to live under it, and with rea- son, for it is inconsistent with the ovolutionary scheme in force upon our planet. It is not the creative plan for running the world. On its face it seems workable; shallow reason- ors extol it, and their arguments con- ¥ince others who see no more deeply than they. Nor need we doubt that agitators with minds enough to see its fallacies and dangers urge its adoption as a step towards the dis- organization of soetety by which they alm to rise to power. But no one has anything te hope for through mmunism, except bitter disillusion- it, confusion, privation and the of almost everything which gives .

I shall never forget the first time { that I encountered a rattlesnake, I i was at work with another man on a Florida melon patch one hot morn- ing, when I became conscious of a curious odor pervading the warm, still air. "Il can smell cucumber," I said. "Then watch out!" replied my companion. 'Most like it's a rattler." Next moment a sound like the whirring of a giant grasshopper came from among the thick green leaves. Up went the American's hoe, and | down with a force that cut the dan- gerous reptile clean in two. "Yes, rattlers do smell just like fresh-cut cucumber," he explained. "I don't know whether it's the poison or what, but they're all alike." Everyone has heard of the skunk and its frightfully offensive odor. But in the skunk family nature has pro- | vided the gland from which the ill- | smelling fluid is ejected, simply as a means of defence. Our own polecat 13 also possessed of a most detest- | able smell. But there are other creatures the | scents of which are less easily ex» plained. Alligators have a strange, musk-like odor, which is never for- | gotten by those who smell it. Most fish have odors peculiar to | themselves, and I have heard old fish- | ermen say that they can, even in the dark, distinguish one fish from an- other by their scent. they declare, has the smell of any sea fish. That excellent fish, the grayling, has a distinct and quite strong odor of thyme, when fresh caught. This is so well recognized that the gray- most pleasant ling is classified in the natural his- | tory books as "thymallus." Some insects have their own scents. Our little brown wood ants smell of formic acid, and so strong is the scent when a nest is stirred up that it affects the eyes like a whiff. from a bottle of smelling-salts. The fox's odor is unmistakable; but it seems strange that nature has endowed the creature with this pe- culiar property. Without it he would | be much safer from hounds; though here, again, nature works wonder- fully, for a vixen with young seems to lose almost entirely the dangerous scent. How to Improve Your Tennis. "Here is a very real lesson--per- haps the biggest lesson of all -- for every lawn tennis player, no matter | whether in the public park stage, or whether approaching championship | level," writes B. I. C, Norton in the London Magazine. "Far too much at- tention is paid by the average player to the result of a match, instead of to the way in which the strokes are made. "Go to any lawn tennis club, and I guarantee that you will find there ---just to give a clear example of what I mean -- players in ordinary friendly games running round to take balls on the forehand which should be taken on the backhand. The whole point is: The strokes which are al- ready strong can well afford to look after themselves; the thing to do to improve in an all-round sense is to Practice steadily, persistently, and systematically the weak points about your play. "Unquestionably footwork plays an important part, too, in the making of a complete player, and the secret of good footwork is to get to the ball in plenty of time so that the strokes can be made properly. Perhaps the failure to get to the ball in plenty of time to make the stroke correctly is most noticable in the ladies' play. I am firmly convinced that Mlle. Len- glen wins so consistently because her footwork is so good, and she declares that she has learned how to be quick becgpyse she has played so much in opposition to men players. ; "Here is an idea for the Lenglens of the British Empire. Play against men, and tell them that you want them to treat you as &,man. 'Soft stuff,' either for men who are want- ing to make progress in the game, or for ladles, is no good. The harder the game, and the faster, the better for learning purposes." The Hijra. Thirteen hundred years ago Mo- hammed fled from Mecca to Medina. The Hijra, or flight of Mohammed, is one of the most important events in the Islamic year, for it was then that Moslem chronology began. Supported by the men of Medina, the prophet began to propagate his doctrines by the sword, fighting his frst battle with the Koreishites, whom he de- feated at Bedr in 623. From this time his position as a prince and pro- Phet was assured, the whole of Ara- bla was brought under his sway, and he was about to attempt the conquest of Syria and engage in a contest with the Roman power when he died in Medina in 632. His mosque there is highly venerated. It is 450 feet long by 300 feet wide, entered by a mas- sive gate. At the end of the further side is a walled enclosure, within which the prophet is buried. * -------------------- Silk Floss, Kapok, or silk floss, now in con- siderable demand as a filling for pil- lows and mattresses, grows in tropi- cal countries in pods on a tree.

There is one distinctive difference between the system of long-term loans and the system of short-term | loans recently inaugurated in this Province. Those who have followed the preceding articles will have ob- served that long-term loans are made | direct by the Agricultural Develop- ment Board, 5 Queen's Park, To- | ronto. In contrast to this, no short- term loans are made by the Board, | but are made solely through local associations organized for this | purpose. Short Time Credits Described, The reason for this difference in method of operation lies in the differ- { ence in the nature of the security and 'the nature of the loan. In the matter of long-term loans, the secur- ity is a first mortgage on land, and the personality of the borrower, | while important, is secondary. In the short-term loans, the security is a note or lien on chattels, and the personality of the borrower, and his reputation in the community, is one of the big determining factors. Then, | too, the loan is usually a small one. | With $2,000 as the maximum, the | average loan will no doubt be a good deal under $1,000. It would, there- fore, be physically impossible for any central office to grant and supervise loans in all the different sections of the Province for small amounts. No other system of granting short-term | loans on personal or chattel security by & central office for a whole Pro- | vince 1s in existence. Such loans may, however, be granted with reasonable safety by local committees familiar { with all the circumstances. | Not So Difficult. Accordingly, a plan of organiz- ation of local farm loan associations has been devised, and this is not so difficult as might at first appear. A membership of thirty is required, and each member must take one share of stock, value $100, and make a payment of 10 per cent., or $10. | This stock represents capital, and is | held in reserve. There is little like- lihood of any farther payment ever | being required on capital account. | { After the necessary membership is signed up," the township council and the Government are each asked to | appoint two directors, and subscribe | for one-half the amount of stock subscribed by local members; this to | be added to the reserve. When these | directors have been appointed, the | association elects a president, vice- | president and one director. These | officers, with the two Government | directors and the two township di- rectors, constitute a board of seven, which, thereafter, looks after the Business of the association. A seec- retary-treasurer is appointed, and he is the only paid officer permitted. When the association is thus formed {it continues from year to year with ! the usual annual election of officers, | and applications for loans can then | be made from time to time to the secretary-treasurer, who will arrange to have them considered by the di- rectors. In practice, it will probably be found desirable to have meetings at stated periods for the consideration of the loans. In this way, loans may be passed without any inconvenience either to the borrower or to the directors. Associations Already Formed. _ Although this plan has been be- fore the farmers of the Province for only a few month, ten assoclations have been formed, and are doing business, while two others have been formed, but have not yet passed on loans. Loans granted range from $125 to $1,800, in individual cases, and are for all manner of purposes in connection with farm work. They -are repayable at the end of the year with interest at 6 3 per cent., but, of course, may be renewed for another year If the directors feel that such renewal is justified. - Each applicant submits to the as- sociation a detailed statement of his assets and liabilities, and also signs & promissory note. The application is then endorsed by the president and secretary of the association and sent in to the Board for approval and for issuing of cheque to cover the total amount loaned to an asso- ciation. While, therefore, the sub- Ject is approached from the stand- point of helping the man on the land in carrying out his farming opera- tions, it will be seen that due regard is pald to the question of security, and if reasonable discretion is exer- cised there is no reason why any of the money 50 loaned should go astray. Well Distributed. The number of associations now doing business is regarded as a very satisfactory start. With the new system it was not expected that such associations would spring up in a night all over the P nor was it regarded as desirable that associations such should occur.

Losses Have Been Suffered by Our ey Mercantile Marine. The Canadian Mercantile Marine | established in 1918 shortly before | the armistice has not proved a suc- j cess. The annual report of the last calendar year indicates that such is the case. In the meantime twenty- | seven of the smaller types of vessels | comprising the fleet have been with- {| drawn from commission and are for sale to the highest bidder. The report says that the loss for the year in operating account, in- cluding Interest on capital and de- preciation is $8,647,635. The total deficit accumulated to the end of last December is $9,116,114. The gross revenue for the year was §10,- 768,828 and the operating expenses $12,979,553, leaving a deficit in oper- ation of $2,210,724. The difference between the operat- ing deficit and the deficit as it stands on the books is explained by an order- in-council of last year providing for the transfer of the vessels to a sep- arate company for operation. This company agreed to repay to the Gov- ernment the capital cost represented by notes bearing interest at 53% per cent. and secured by mortgages on the vessels. These notes are now held by the. Ministey of Finance to the extent of $73,671,842 During last year Interest amounting to $3,351, 600 accrued on these notes, while the depreciation, figured at 4 per cent., amounted to $2,374,410. The directors of this company, in whic hthe Government holds all the shares except the single qualifying shares of the board, make certain proposals which will greatly increase the losses. The directors intend writ- ing down the capital cost of the ves- sels to their present day replacement value. Tle capital cost was approximately $191 and the present day replace- ment value is only about $75 a ton. The total tonnage was about 380,000. Writing off $1 a ton would mean $44,080,000, which amount is red - ed to $40,921,226 by the $3,168,7 depreciation which was taken into account. Added to the deficit last year this makes a total loss of $50,037,369. Another recommendation cuts down the size of the fleet. It has been decided to operate 37 vessels and dispose of 27 ships of the smaller type, twenty-four of which were con- structed under the shipbuilding pro- grom of the late Government with a total tonnage of 96,183. At the price of $191 per ton the cost to the coun- try was $18,370,962, while under the new replacement value the ships are worth only $7,0237,25. No at- { tempt is made to guess at their pres- | ent market value. | Another recommendation made by | the board is the remission of interest | for five years unless there should be earnings sufficient to pay the interest after allowing for depreciation. The total number of vessels in the service was 63, of which two were lost. During 1921, 235 voyages were made. In the report of the directors not a great deal of hope is held out for the future. In addition to asking for the remission of interest for five years the directors state: "It should be remembered that the company is still in the development stage, having in the past year, during a time of depression, taken over from the~builders and placed in ser- vice 18\additional vessels. In the first two\years surpluses from oper- ation were made, but owing to the majority of the vessels being complet- ed during a period of business de- pression following the war this com- pany, unlike older established steam- ship companies, was unable to build up a reserve which would enable in- terest to be pald during times of depression." Hudson Bay Relics. Some of its riches illuminating the early days of Canada are revealed by the Hudson Bay Company in a his- torical exhibit now on view in Win- nipeg. . The object of this exhibit is to depict, by means of relics, pictures, documents, models, and the like, the history of the company, life in the fur trade, the story of the pioneer settlers, and the customs, dress and industries of the wboriginal tribes.. A company governing for two cen- turies the vast empire of the North, and for 260 years carrying on a great trade, largely in the wilderness, can interpret the past with great fidelity, and it is expected that the present collection will be largely increased as time passes. Such an exhibition brings again into prominence the great leaders of the company's past, the men who dared, like Lord Strathcona, and many others, to enter the unknown wilderness, the well-named '"com- pany of adventurers trading into Hudson Bay."

The icebergs, which may be a hun- dred years old before they reach the various trade routes, are the off- springs of great Polar glaciers which have been formed by accumulated -SNOwWSs. The glaciers of Norway and Swit- zerland cannot be the parents of ice- bergs, because they begin to melt long before they reach the sea. The | ice river becomes a water river when | it reaches the ocean. In Greenland, Spitzbergen, Nova Zembia, and other Arctic lands, the snowline and the sea-level are the same, and so the mighty glaciers not only reach the seashore, but in many cases push out to sea. The great mass of ice, forced into the water, and held up by the buoyancy of the waves, be- comes detached from the parent stream, and drifts off on its lonely venture. Many icebergs are comparatively small, but some reach a height of 300 fee The part that can be seen repre- sents only one-eighth of its bulk, the remaining seven-eighths being under water, The deaths of hundreds of people when, on April 14, 1912, the Titanic crashed into an iceberg was the start- ing of the International Ice Patrol. It was decided that each year, dur- ing May and June, an ice patrol should be maintained to locate ice- bergs and warn ships. The bergs infest an area ranging from longitude 45 to 65, and north from latitude 41 degrees. Generally this area of 2,000 square miles is enveloped in fog. Through the fog the patrolling ships must steam con- tinuously, searching for bergs and iceflelds. They are constantly in dan- ger of striking the former before they are sighted. Observations are put down on maps, which are sent to the coast- guard service officials at Washington. This information is then sent to Gov- ernments and shipping centres in all parts of the world. In the late spring and early sum- mer the bergs become very unstable, and huge masses of ice fall from them. Sometimes entire bergs roll over and over. Patrol vessels have tried firing their 12-pounder guns at them, but usually the shots are as ineffective as they would be against the Rock of Gibraltar. It ig impossible to judge the sta- bility of an iceberg by its appearance. The towering cliff of apparently solid { ice may be as delicately balanced and as sensitive as the spring of a watch. The whistle of a passing steamer | may break off blocks large enough | to sink a boat. There havé been cases in which Newfoundland fishermen, who wanted ice with which to pack their fish, have been sent to the bottom through a berg turning turtle when the small boat hit its side. Such a scene was witnessed by a trawler which had sent out a boat to ( load ice. The instructions to the men were to cut chunks off the berg and return quickly to the ship; but, to the horror of the remainder of the orew, the huge mass of ice heeled over and buried the boat and its HINCHINBROOKE SCHOOL FAIR.

Explorer's Dreams, The intrepid Captain Amundsen has changed his plans for his flight across the North Pole, and intends to land in Spitsbergen instead of Cape Columbia. We all hope and believe that he will accomplish his feat in safety, and he himself is optimistic, but one cannot help recalling a cer- tain old dame whose optimism grad- ually faded away. She was on a liner, and she both- ered the captain by her continual questions. "Where are we going to land, ecap- tain?" she asked. {| He told her. And next day, hav- | ing forgotten the place, she asked again, "Where are we going to land, cap- tain?" she said. Once more he obliged. And yet a third time the name slipped her mem- ory, so that on the following morn- ing she repeated the well worn query, "Where are we going to land, cap- tain?" Still patient, he repeated his in- formation. That night there was a storm. The boat rolled and rocked, and great waves struck her. Sudden- ly a muffled figure tottered towards the captain. "Captain," gasped a voice out of the darkness, 'are you sure?" Amundsen, however, is sure, so we will not worry. What worries me far more, when thinking of him, is his .
