Home, nresl- dent of the Rrltish board of trade, tells l.conid ltrnssm, tne Hoviet representa tive, that Rolshevlk agitation in India must cease forthwith "if the good fiiltli of the agreement is to be preserved." Roth the Dally Telegraph and the Morning Post express profound amaze ment nt the government having signed the agreement before this condition was fulfilled. The Morning Post appeals to Parliament to save Great Rrltaln from dishonor by refusing to ratify "this Dnncr ulso calls attention to the fact that no rcnaratlon Is exacted in the ngrcement for the "murder and ill trent ment of Rrltish prlsouers in Russia."

Could anything be fairer? These are the facts in the coal situation today: Although coal mines worked full time last year coal was not plentiful until March 1 despite one of the mildest winters in years. Had weather conditions been normal there would have been a shortage of coal. Coal operators say they cannot increase output this year. Unless people buy coal this Spring and Summer there is bound to be a serious coal shortage next Winter, with its attendant misery and suffering. KUNKECSACOAL 63d and Market llna Sldlna.
