SOVIETS GIVE
FEW PLACES TO
“MODERATES”
LONDON, July 24 (by Associated
Press).—Leonid Borisovitch Krassin,
who came into the public’s attention
^ when he came to London this summer
as head of a commission to negotiate
the reopening of trade relations be
tween Soviet Russia and the outside
world, has been one of the few “mod
erates” to be given a place of respon
sibility in the Soviet government ma
chinery and has been characterized
as a “bourgeois Bolshevist.”
For engaging in a students’ demon
stration, Krassin was expelled from
the Petrograd Technological Institute.
Subsequently he engaged in a number
of plots against the czarist regime, but
continued to advance in his profession,
that of an electrical engineer.
Following the Bolshevist coup of
October 17, 1917, Krassin was offered
a seat in the ministry, which he de
clined, as he thought Lenine’s adven
tures too risky and his theories too
sweeping. But his relations with
Lenine were cordial and he accom
panied Lenine and Trotzky when they
^yent to Brest-Litovsk to negotiate the
treaty with Germany.
When it became apparent that the
Bolshevist government would last,
Krassin threw in his lot with it and
became commissary of food in the red
*£X1 All / .
A “bourgeois Bolshevist,” Krassin is !
said to have little or no belief in the
theories and aims of the Soviet gov
ernment. For the time at least, how
ever, he was convinced that nothing
was to be gained by resistance to the
control of the workers. He came to
an understanding with the workmen in
his own factory, giving shape to the
Soviet experiment.
During his tenure of four ministerial
offices, he has worked imperceptibly
for the restoration of the plain bour
geois methods of commerce. To him
the nationalization of commerce was
ooie of the most stupid of Lenine’s
blunders. As for the world revolution,
he is an entire skeptic, and is all for
a bourgeois peace. He would lead
Russian Sovietism into the normal
ways of democracy. “Who believes in
Socialism in Russia?” he is reported
to have said. “Not I, nor Lenine.”
GOOD RUN OF FILMS
SHOWN AT EMPRESS
“Peppy Polly” was all of that, and
more, last night at the Empress. Brim
full and running over with optimism
and the good cheer that makes the
wheels go round. It was an ideal role
for spunky little Dorothy Gish, who,
we rather suspect, has discovered the
secret of perpetual motion. A clean
cut, clean hearted little play which
may not point a great moral, but
leases you feeling that the old world
would be a happier place were there
more Pollys.
Tomorrow night, the inimitable John
Barrymore in one of the best of his
mighty good farce comedies, “On the
Quiet.” Take a straight tip from us,
there’s nothing “quiet” about this
picture but its name. It’s a riot of
fun and humor, such as only John
Barrymore can successfully “pull off.”
Latest number of Pathe News, also
an educational film and a reel of Mon
olog, witty sayings, complete an ex
ceptionally good program.
On Monday night only, Mabel Nor
mand in “A Perfect Thirty-Six.” On
Wednesday and Thursday, wonderful
Nazimova in “Out of the Fog,” a mas
terpiece of direction, photography and
y emotional acting.

RICE HOARDERS
GET GOUGED AS
PRICES TUMBLE
HONGONG, July 24 (by Associated
Press).—Hongkong has been stocked
with rice bought for export and held
for a rise in prices even during the
rice shortage, which has become seri
ous in some cities of southern China
and other parts of the Orient. The
manager of a big commercial firm
here estimated that there was more
than $10,000,000 worth of Saigon
“long” rice stored in Hongkong.
Recently the price fell rapidly and
dealers and exporters found them
selves loaded up with rice while the
banks were pressing for the payment
of bills. Japan was not able to buy
owing to the tightness of her money
market and it was stated that Amer
ica, ordinarily one of the largest buy
ers of rice in this market, has ceased
to purchase because she had obtained
a sufficient supply.
About 75 per cent of the rice ex
ported from Hongkong goes to Cuba,
but Cuba’s supply had been purchased
direct from the producers instead of
the Hongkong middle man.
OVER FIVE THOUSAND
ORANGES ON 3 TREES
MIAMI, Fla., July 24 (by Associated

QUINCY, Cal., July 24 (by Associ

section was shipped to Washington, j
