Directions

[Commons yesterday during the course
of the debate on Russia, dwelt upon
•the 'Complexity of the Russian prob

The premier was asked concerning
the testimony given before the Sen
ate Committee on Foreign Relations
by William C. Bullitt, recently attach
ed o the American Peace Commission,
and replied:
"I never heard of Bullitt until ho
returned from Russia. I never knew
of his existence until one day Presi
dent Wilson said to me: 'There is a
young fellow returned from Russia
who might be able to give you.inter
esting views about Russia. But he
added that I was not to attach too
much importance to him."
Afer declaring that Bullitt had be

Buy Your Coal
Now! Now!! Now!!!
Unescapable handicaps
and conditions at the mines
cannot be remedied in the
coal yards of the city. Deal
ers have not the yard capac
ity nor the large financial
i resources required to stock
f at one time sufficient coal to
take care of the city's needs
on a rush-order basis.
Those who delay ordering
till mid-winter will doubt
less be disappointed, not
only in delivery, but in the
premium prices • resulting
from conditions absolutely
beyond control.
/ Prudence, foresight and
common sense suggest that
the only solution is for the
householder to get the coal
in his cellar now, while
weather, transportation,
prices and other conditions
are most favorable.

15c Sugar in 1920;
Wilson Is Blamed
Philadelphia, Nov. 18.—Coincident
with the beginning of a new dispute
over present retail prices of sugar,
due to imports from the Louisiana
crop, sugar refiners In this city pre
dicted yesterday that prices to the
consumer early next year must go
to thirteen and perhaps fifteen cents.
Congressional records produced by
the refiners and by others who have
been in close touch with the Unit
ed States sugar equalization board,
show that President Wilson was re
sponsible for the failure to keep
down the price of the 1920 crop.
These records, published by a Sen
ate subcommittee on agriculture,
show that the President refused to
ask Congress to authorize the sugar
equalization board to continue oper
ating in 1920, although Cuban grow
ers, backed by their government, of
fered to sell the entire 1920 crop at 1
a fair, noncompetitive price.
