4 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MOXDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1923 JHREE NATIONS SEEK . RUSSIAN COMMERCE ifrance, Britain and Germany Make Proposals. BEST BID TO BE TAKEN Carl Radek and Leonid Krassln, SoTiet Representatives, Are on Way to Moscow. BERLIN', Feb. 19. (By the Associ ated Press.) Carl Radek and Leonid Krassin, representatives of tbe Rus sian soviet, are on the way to Mos imv with proposals from France, Great Britain and Germany looking: toward Russian economic reconstruc tion. ' . ' The Vossische Zeitupg- described Radek as one of the greatest living propagandists and commented on his ability "to twist all sorts of political discussions to the advantage of the soviet." Article 116 of the Versailles treaty provides for the absolute abrogation of. the Brest-Litovsk treaties and pledges Germany to recognize the in dependent governments built out of "the old Russian empire, the allied and associated powers at the same time formally reserving the rights of Russia to obtain from Germany repa rations. Consequently it is around this article that the intricate diplo matic and economic play centers. This article is a mighty weapon in the hands of both England and France, and the soviet government is believed to be making use of it also, eU'spite its bitter denunciation -of the Versailles treaty. Germany, on account of her lack of gold, is unable to make Russia as favorab'ie offers as England and France, but M. Radek and his asso ciates are inclined to believe that the German offers are better calculated to reconstruct Russia, which espe cially needs German locomotives and other German manufactures. The bolshevik negotiators informed the German officials that they be-i lleved both England and France are endeavoring to' outbid Germany for Russian trade, but made it clear that Russia must deal with the nation giving the best terms. ACTORS' UNION FHD (AMERICANS URGED TO HELP REORGANIZE BRITISH. ' Eainuel Gompers Tells Equity As sociation Action Would Help U. S. Federation NEW YORK, Feb. 19. Further in vasions into American theatrical fields of non-union British actors may be prevented, Samuel Gompers today told the Actors' Equity association, if equity leaders will go to England and reorganize the British actors' as sociation. Mr. Gompers suggested that reor panlzation of British actors, would thwart any plans producing mana gers In the United States might have to ue foreign talent in a fight against the equity members after the expira tion of the present contract In 1924. Commenting on the attitude of the Rev. Dr. John Roach Straton, Baptist minister, in regard to the theater, Mr. Gompers said: "It would be a great pity if "the success of the church depended upon the failure of the theater. The men and women in this wonderful profe-s-eion of amusement present to the pub lic a feeling of sympathy and ideal ism. If one can supplement the other be complementary to the other, as could the theater and the church, and It la a grave mistake to arraign one against the other." , GIRL BAM PIT IS SOUGHT Beautiful Blonde Wears Imported Gowns and Carries Pistol.

Portland has claimed many citizens of broad education and discrimin ating literary tastes; 'therefore it is not surpris ing that a movement to found a public library was set on foot very early in the history of this community. From a small beginning the Portland library grew. In 1868 it became imperative to find a permanent home for the in creasing collection of books, so when the new Ladd & Tilton Bank Building at First and Stark Streets was completed, Mr. William S. Ladd, always a leader in things civic and philan thropic, at once interested himself. He offered the second floor of the building to the Library Association, free of charge, and it was here the Public Library had its head quarters for many years. It is further interesting to know that the first home of the Y. M. C. A. in Portland was also on the second floor of this building. ' This progressive, helpful spirit- ha3 characterized Ladd & Tilton Bank since its very, inception, over three-score years ago. Substantial encouragement has always been given every movement which has as its aim the civic, moral and educa tional betterment of the community.
