Land Grant Opening Not What It

Former Head of Siberian Intelli
gence Division Knows Bol
bhevism First Hand.
The United States will make a
erious error if it opens the way for
American trade with Russia at pres
ent, is the opinion of Dr. David P.
Barrows, president ol the University
of California, lieutenant-colonel and
former head of the intelligence de
partment of the American expedition
ary forces in Siberia. Dr. Barrows
was greeted by more than 400 Port
land people yesterday when he was
a luncheon guest of the Oregon Civic
league in the dining room of the
Chamber of Commerce.
He said resumption of commercial
relations would be trading future se
curity for some slight benefit to com
merce at the present time.
Intimate knowledge of conoHtions
in eastern Russia from personal ob
servations and information gained
from contact with officers and sol
diers of the red guard of the Keren
sky government and others of the
old Russian army who were later
with Kolchak and the other leaders of
the Siberian armies that subsequent
ly opposed .the advance eastward of
the armed forces of bolshevism,
makes the colonel a most interesting
Interpreter of the definition of so
viet rule. From Vladivostok Colonel
Barrows proceeded west Into Russia
s far as the province of Baikal, east
of Lake Baikal, with Major-General
Graves, commanding the American
expedition to aid the Russian gov
ernment. Bolahevlam Roaadly Scored
He told his auditors at the lunch
eon that bolshevism is the most re
actionary policy that has ever been
conceifed by the" mind of man, and
that nothing too bad has been said
of it Since its beginning some
16 years ago, he can recall no benefit
to humanity that has come from it,
.and in his opinion it must be stamped
out before the real spirit of the peo
ple of Russia can have any chance to
find expression.
"There is no better definition of
bolshevism than that given by Gen
eral Foch," said Dr. Barrows. "As the
great French commander phrased it,
'bolshevism is a malady of defeated
nations.' It is a government of de
spair and is the i most highly cen
tralized government that has ever
been set up. The power of the gov
ernment is in the hands of a very
few who compose the soviet executive
committee at Moscow. There is no
freedom in Russia and bolshevism
proposes to suppress all freedom ol
the individual through control by a
most automatic dictatorship.
"The red guard which was super
ceded by the red army by the decree
1 of Trotsky in April. 1918. was formed
upon the basis of violence andkilling
of every person who did not gree
; with the soviet rule. There are two
sources of military strength that have
contributed to the strength of the
1 red army. One was the- tremendous
equipment and ammunitions left over
by the Old Russian government and
the other was the trained military
t men who were there from the Ger
man forces and could not go back to
Germany under the terms of the
peace arranged, and some possibly'
' who could not go back for other rea
sons and sought a chance to apply
their training in service for the Rus
sian government.
Short Crops Cause Killing.
"In order to stimulate production
the soviet sent its military to de
' mand of certain districts the produc
i tion or a given quantity of manu
, factured goods, or the production of
a given amount of grain and food
stuffs. When the crop did not come
: up to the requirements as laid down
. the army would return to the dis
, trict and summarily order a given
number of the men killed as a punish
ment for not having produced the ex-
: pectea yield.
Economically speaking, I think
."that the soviet government h
; failed. Its method of assessments
; upon communities for production has
. been resisted. In the agricultural
; districts where . the peasants were
, contumacious and obstinate about
i contributing to the communistic state
; there was only one punishment tha
f the soviet administered death. I
would lead to a state of semi-serf
Uom for the whole population, for
.fall men between the ages of 16 and
; 50, If able bodies, do not merely have
to work for the communist govern
" iment, but must work at prescribed
, tasks for specified wages.
hole System Un-American.
'In all of its fundamental prin
' ciples the theories of the soviet gov
ernment is hostile to everything fo
. which the American government
stands. it would overthrow repre
sentative government and aims at th
; subjection and overthrow of private
property ownership.
; "In my opinion it would be a mis
. take at the present time for th
united States to let down the bars
; to trade with Russia. Because Ger
many is seeking to secure that trad
is no reason wny we should do so
Germany is seeking it actively and
have personal Information that Ger
man agents have offered credits
long as two years to merchants
eastern Russia. But if our business
men go into that trade now it will
only be securing a little temporary
gain at tne cost or settling the sovie
goverment more securely in its posi
tion, which will surely bring its pen
aity eventually in new troubles. Bol
sneviR leaders regard America
their worst and most determined foe
and we should not do that which will
strengthen their power.
-iney are diligently appealing to
the world to sell them goods. The
appeal to cupidity with offers of
platinum and gold, of which they
have a considerable 'amount. But hu
man nature does not respond naturally
to the kind of an appeal that comes
from communism. I do not think
that Lenine and his associated lead
ers have altered their plan of a com
munist government in the least. They
have merely declared a truce in or
der to try to fortify their position.
Trade Bond to Come.
"I feel "that the United States can
gt the Russian trade when we want
it and that a temporary advantage
now would be of questionable value
to us."
While In Portland Dr. Barrows re
ceived a telegram inviting him to
speak on trade with Russia before
the national foreign trade conference,
which meets at .San Francisco next
month. He deferred a definite reply
because It comes immediately after
the commencement of the university
and he is dubious about finding time
to prepare an address. He departed

NEW COUNTY FIGHT IS ON
Pine Valley Residents Seek'to Slice
Up Baker.
HALFWAY, Or., April 8. (Special.)
Pine Valley residents are making
another effort to divide Baker county.
It is proposed to cut off what is called
the Panhandle, once a part of Union
county but later annexed to Baker,
and form a new county. The great
distance from the Panhandle to
Baker, the county seat, is the source
of dissatisfaction. Parts of the county (
are xuu miles irom caxtr, who poor
wagon roads and poor train connections.
The proposed county would have a
population of approximately 5000. Its
area would be something like 1000
square miles and its assessed valua
tion about (6,000,000. It would thus
have more people, more property and
larger territory than some of the
other counties Jn the state.

CURB ON DRIVES URGED

of Financial Schemes.
MEJDFORD. Or., April 8. (Special.)
In the opinion of Mayor Gates and
members of the city council, gen
eral drives to raise money for va
rious state and national causes are
becoming too numerous, and with a
view to curbing all unnecessary
drives, the council this week passed
a resolution that from now on no
drive should be launched in the Med-
ford district without the promoters
first taking the matter up with the
city council.
This action was brought on by the
coming state drive by the Salvation
army to raise funds for relief work
in the state, in which the apportion
ment of Jackson county is between
16000 and $7000.
