•> When Secretary Hughes rather
bluntly told the foreign minister of
the Soviet government in Russia that
reform would have to begin at home
before the United States would con
sider any negotiations looking to the
restoration of official trade relations,
the communistic leaders rose in tiery
indignation with repudiation of all
charges that the soviets were attempt
ing through communistic organiza
tions to undermine the system of the
American government. Mr. Hughes
was challenged to produce proof of
his charges.
In one statement the state depart
ment had charged that the existence
ot close bonds between the communist
Internationale and the soviet govern
ment had been proved through the
publication of an article in Investia,
the soviet organ at Moscow. Editor
Steklov challenged Secretary Hughes
to produce the date on which the ar
ticle appeared.
In reply, the secretary of state not
only produced the date—November 7,
3922—but presented the full text oi
the article, translated into Eugiish.
The occasion was the coincidence of
the date of the celebration of the
tilth anniversary of the October revo
lution and the opening ot the fourth
congress of the communist interna
tionale-declared by Investia to be
“by no means an accidental or arbi
trary occurrence.” in the course oi
the article, which is about 2,000 words
in length it was said:
"But, however we may look upon
the eiuonologicai succession of events
and on their historical sequence the
close organic and spiritual bonds be
tween the sov.et republic, product o:
the October revolution and the com.
munist internationale, cannot be doubt
ed, and even if the connection had not
been admitted many times by both
sides, it would, evertheless, be clear
to all as an established fact. It is
clear to us, as to our enemies. * * *
"On this side the very close bond
between the soviet republic and the
communist internationale is not sut
.iect to doubt. This connection is not
only a spiritual but also of a material
and palpable character. On its side
the communist internale in the same
measure is spiritually and materially
connected with Soviet Russia ”
, The article continued in me same
-strain, saying that “the material sup
port which, for instance, the workers
of all countries extend to the soviet
republic during the famine of last
year, is not less than the support ex
tended by the Russian communist
party to fraternaf parties abroad. 01
course in the event of possibility aris
ing, both sides will extend to each oth
er maximum assistance. But at pres
ent it is a question of a bond of an
other sort, pre-eminently of a spiritu
al political character. * * * In the So
viet republic the international prole
tariat has an inaccessible stronghold
in which th eelaboration of the inter
national communist program and tac.
tics is proceeding and where the sys
tematic accumulation of creative pro
letariat experience and the construe
tion of a proletariat state is going on.’
Of course, as the article says, there
is a solidarity of interests betweer
the internationale and the soviet re
public—"spiritual moral and mate
rial"- and for the soviet officials tc
der<> it is anly an attempt to draw ?
rick, divisional prohibition chief de
dared today, pointing to New York’s
toll > holiday dead.
V, have warned the people agains
Xi-. -g such chances,” said Mr. Mer
rick If one must dring, drink for
eigu liquor rather than the local pro.
duct, it is far less deadly.”
Woodrow Wilson’s caustic criticise
of his successor does not show gooi
taste. For eight years Mr. Wilson ha<
control of the nation’s affairs, ant
was in fact a dictator. The muddh
made in hi3 administration will affec
many generations yet to come. It w-a
the most colossal bungling of nations
affairs and finances In the history c
the country.

CANADIANS PUZZLED WITH
UNUSUALLY MILD WEATHER
(MONTREAL Jan. 9.—At the same
time that American newspapers were
wiring their Canadian correspondents
today for theories on the extraordin
ary mildness of tlie weather, Canadian
newspapers were telegraphing Ameri
can meteorological experts asking for
theories as to the cause of the fol
lowing;
Pussy willows out.
Lilacs blooming
Duck and geese on sloughs and but
terflies captured at Edmonton, Alta.
oGlfers on Winnipeg links with the
mercury at 44 above zero.
Ripe strawberries picked at Strat
ford, Ont.
Lumbermen feeding idle horses in
Northern Ontario woods unable to
haul logs because of lack of snow.
Farmers doing winter plowing in
Northern Alberta.
Christmas trade suffering keenly in
Montreal and Toronto because a warm
sun melted what little Vuletide envi
ronment a teeble snow had deposited
last week. All these things in face of
the fact that usually the ground is cov
ered with snow at this season with the
temperature away below zero.
Nor are the humans the only living
creatures who are wondering where
Rudyard Kipling got his “Lady of the
Snows’ ’stuff.
So far as Quebec is concerned war
dens declare that unless the wildness
continues for some weeks, the game
and birds will not suffer much. Par
tridge is perhaps the only bird that
will lsuffer at all, dampness being its
chief enemy and usually resulting in
the bird contracting diseases and dy
ing off. As for deer and moose, the
opinion is that they will be better oft
for the present mild spell.
None of the large lakes up north are
frozen and only a few of the smallei
ones .according to reports reaching
here. In no part of Canada has sue!
a mild season been experienced be
fore, and students of weather condi
tions are at a loss for an explanation

.improvements have been sought lor
I many years, the service officials dec
lared.
In the 25 years during which weath
