tlntleiis betueeu the Itif-Hliins and tin
French, nnd tlie prospects that the
ticneii (Conference will bring nbeut sqme
understanding between Russia nnd tlie
resit of Europe. ,
In nddltlen, the Soviet (Jevernmcnt,
according te reports here, bus already
taken some steps which it Is believed
tend te meet the conditions Inld down
by tlwf State Department for the ie ie
sumptien of trade.
In the note of Mhreh -,."i one year
age Mr. Hushes said that "production
Is eenilltlinii il ntiiin the vnfnlv II fn
I the reeosnltleu of llim isutiiautees of
. prhnte piepeitj, the !-ecurit of, ton ten
I tinct ami tiiC lights of ftee Inlier. U
nindniiientnl changes aie contemplated,
invehlng due legmd for the protection
of poisons and prepeity and the estnb-'
llshment of conditions essential te the
maintenance of commerce, this Govern
ment will be glad te have convincing
evidence of the consummation of hueh
changes."
Courts Again at Werk
It is difficult te say what the State
Department would regard 'ns "con
vincing evidence," but it is understood
here that the establishment of n gov
ernment by law administered through
regular courts instead of revolutionary
tribunals would be an evidence, if the
laws contained the bamc safeguards of
the person nnd property usually afforded
by civilized nations.
New the Government of Itussiu lins,
according te the dispatches,' leicntly
adopted n civil and .rrimliml cede an.l
set the courts te work.
It is believed licte thnt ex -Governer
Goedrich, who Is- new en his way te
Russia ns Secietnry Hoever's ngent,
will come back here shortly with the new
Russiun cede nnd with u repot t upon
the way the regular courts ntc func
tioning. It bus transpired that Mr. Good Goed
rich, who nominally gees te Russia U.
supeivise Russian relief work, will make
but n brief visit, returning here in a
few weeks. It Is believed therefore that
his mission in Russia has mere te de
with trade relations than with feed dis
tribution. Mr. Goedrich will an he in Russia
just nbeut the time the Genea con
science begins Its sessions, and In view
of the anxiety eer Russln which Mr.
Hughes' note, declining the Genea in
vitation, lcvenlcd, it seems probable
that the purpose of his visit is te coun
teract in some way the influence of the
Genea meeting and te indicate te Rus
sia thnt she need net pin alt her hopes
of capital nnd trade restoration upon
what the European governments de
there.
As nlrcndy lndicntcd In this corre
spondence one purpose of Mr. Goedrich
Is te urge the Soviet Government net
te giant monopolies nnd exclusive con
tedious, but te keep the economic eon een eon
clepment of Russia open te nil nations
upon un canal footing.
Hut apparently mere1 than nearly
negative representations will be made.
May Be Competition
Whether the cede adopted by Russia
and the court system will be sufficient
I te satisfy the officials, here Is, of course,
I net et known, nnd whether the Soviet
Government will grant further cences
siens no one can guess.
If France has reached some seu of
undcistnndlug in the recent negotln negetln negotln
tiens with Radck and will agree with
England nnd Germany about the pellcv
te be adopted nt Genea, Russia will
have Europe bidding against the United
I States legardlug terms for her develop
ment, uu.. country lias tuc advantage
of mere capital te offer. Europe has the
ndvuutnge of better markets .since she
t nn use Kussin's raw materials anil
slnce rutcs of exchange in Europe nre
mere favorable te Itiibsla than in the
United States.
Hut whatever happens, it seems cer
tain that this spring will see Russia
brought into closer trade relations with
a lntge part of or with all the test of the
world.
GREED FOR GEMS AND FURS
CALLED "CURSE OF TIMES"
i "Modern Women Using Dellar Mark
te Steer Husbands Inte Jail"
New Yerk, March 13. (Iiv A. V.)
"Greed for diamonds nnd furs is the
curse of the times," Judge Leuis D.
I Gibbs, of the Rrenx County Court, de-
(liu eu teuuy in suspending sentence en
Saul Zuker, millinery denier, who
pleaded guilty te receiving stolen goods.
"Modern women n great majority
of thenu " he s.iid, "ure using the dol
lar murk te steer their husbands into
jail. Just us long us the men of the
family biing home the money, no ques
tions ntc asked. The double with the
man of today is that he is tee eager te ,
make money te supplj liis wife or
daughter with diamonds and fill. He
Is bound te get it somehow heuestlj cr
by ciliiiiunl methods."
Judge Gibbs' condemnation was de
livered titter Mis. Zuker, the prisoner's
wife, had been culled te the stand.
Attired in uu expensive fur coat nnd
her lingers coveted with rings, she in
dignantly denied that she bad knowl
edge of her husband's crime, though all
mlttiug that she had charge of her hus
band's store. Judge Gibbs accused her
of being in league with her husband,
and ordered her from the courtroom.
He explained thnt sentence was sus
pended bt cause the piisener has four
small children le support.
