Sees Loot in Russia. BY ARNO DOSCH FLEUROT. (Copyright by the New York World. Pub- Iisiiea. oy Arrangement. j GENOA, April 30. (Special Cable.) A new phase for title to prop erty, a new iormula under which property- can be held privately is all that needs to be invented before Eu rope presents Russia with its ulti matum. Baron DeCartier, representing Bel gium, and the leading figure in the committee of financiers which is work ing this out, today told me an agree ment had been reached, although it had been difficult to get all to ac cept it. As the British are going slow on this point, which is supposed to be the most lenient to the Soviets and is such as to give foreign owners rights to restitution and indemnity, it is evi dent these financiers are preparing a big pill for Russia to swallow, prob ably bigger than ehe will swallow. Total Renunciation Demanded. In the ultimatum capitalistic Europe tells the Soviets they must renounce everything they have done in the last four and a half years and put the western European owner in as good a position as ever. For this it offers no loan, but only financial backing to private enter prises which will enter to rebuild and likewise exploit Russia. In this document so haughtily writ ten it can hardly be called less than an ultimatum that the eoviets will "put in their place" at the con ference. The whole tone of the ulti matum Is going to be that of a note written for people in a beggar's po sition to sign. It will be difficult for the bolshevists to do otherwise than sign humbly or refuse completely. The document as partially finished and approved by the British has a tone quite other than the opening words of the conference. The Russo Gerraan treaty made this change. This is a way of telling the Russian dele gation it must pay through the nose for slipping the treaty over on the conference. French Want Harsh Terms. The British draft of the clause in the coming ultimatum bearing on for eign titles in Russia considered len ient would be sufficient to satisfy almost anyone. But it is not yet stiff enough for the French, who want to insure a perfect title as bourgeois na tions understand the term. The British assume the Soviets rec ognize their liability to meet finan cial obligations by their government or its predecessors to foreign na tionals. They assume the Soviets ac cept the Cannes resolution. In cases where a former owner can not regain possession of his property "he shall be given an option of resum ing, in the form of a concession, the use of the property in Russia on termg not less favorable than the rights pre viously enjoyed." Where this is not possible the Brit ish foresee compensation in "similar property, the nature and amount be ing agreed between the Soviets and the claimant, or in bonds." No Vagueness AVanted. The French are dissatisfied with the vagueness of the last clauses and want to give the Russians no room for equivocation. The British will also demand that the Soviets agree to pay for damage to property caused by an act or neg ligence of the Soviets. This means that thousands of factories which etand empty or have deteriorated through lack of use must be paid for. The British also demand that the term "previous foreign owner" shall include Russian companies in which foreigners controlled or owned a "substantial interest," or where the foreigner invested money in Russia through Russian holder. Add together the.e various interests and the foreigner, backed by Russian emigres, would control Russia finan cially, which is evidently what the document is expected to bring about. But even these terms are not consid ered sufficiently hard and will be harder before they are presented to the Soviets. RADIO CARRIES SERVICE (Cant invert Fror.

EXRICO CARUSO, JR. A deckhand, attired in a dingy blue suit, a sailor's jersey and smoking a big black pipe, was standing on the deck of the liner Providence when the ship docked in Philadelphia last Tuesday. A newspaper photographer who had a "tip" that Ennco Caruso jr. was on board the liner approached the deckhand and asked him if he knew the son of the famous tenor. Without paying any attention to a promise to point out Caruso he walked away and the photographer followed.. Chasing him into the salon the newspaper man cornered him and he then admitted he was the son of Enrico. "I am just going to Europe on a pleasure trip," he confessed, good-na turedly, now that he was caught. "I do not intend to study music, for my voice is really no good, although the girls here try to tell me that it is." Caruso is IS years old. He has been attending school in the middle west. ion solos by John Sylvester, and nine new Victor records from those re leased May 1.

Determination of France ro Act Independently to Enforce Keparations Alarms. BY JOSEPH W. GRTGG. (Copyright by the New York World. Pub lished by Arrangement.) LONDON, April 30. (Special cable.) -In high political quarters here this evening it was intimated that Premier Lloyd George soon will make an im portant move in connection with his suggestion for a meeting of all the signatories of the Versailles treaty. Official London, however, is still very much in the dark as to when he will press his suggestion. It is believed he will be willing to have the meeting in Paris, if Premier Poincare declines to come to Genoa. In some quarters it is suggested the British prime minister is only await ing developments at Genoa before urging the meeting, at which the whole question of reparations and allied war debts can be opened up. The French have made no reply to the proposal yet. They say Mr. Lloyd George only made an informal sug gestion to Louis Bar thou, and that until it is made in a formal written document it needs no formal reply. It is thought here the premier hopes at a meeting of the Versailles signatories to reach some agreement with France which will head off sin gle-handed action by France against Germany if the latter does not meet the reparations payment on May 31. If France refuses and does take drastic action, it is regarded as a certainty that the Anglo-French en tente will " be smashed. Stockraisers Win Emblems. WHITE SALMON, Wash.. April 30 (Special.)

Penney Co. Store. Phone Broadway 3769. CHICAGO, April 30, fBv the As sociated Tress.) Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, today issued a statement declaring' that recognition by the United States of the "bolshevik tyrrany" in Russia would be a "need less and base betrayal of civilization.'" Declaring that American public life was being flooded with propaganda, and that "predatory international fi nance has its appetite up and believes it sees loot in Russia," he asserted that nothing "would be more fraught with disaster to humanity than Amer ican recognition of the bolshevik power in any form." Lenine, Mr. Gompers denounced as a "bandit merchant" ready to "take what he can get in exchange for the heritage of a people rendered helpless by him and his." A fund of millions of dollars, he asserted, was being used in the United States for bol shevik propaganda out of which "bribes have been offered in places where the American people can ill afford betrayal." President Gompers' statement in part follows: "Developments at Genoa cannot escape the notice of thinking Amer icans, though the full significance of what is happening there seems gener ally lost in most of our newspapers. "I can think of nothing that would constitute a more needless and base betrayal to civilization than Amer ican recognition of the bolshevik tyranny. "1 can think of nothing that would be moi e fraught with disaster to hu manity than American recognition of .the bolshevik power in any form whether by entering into another 'economic' conference at which Amer ica, would sit cheek by jowl with Soviets, or in any other manner. Bankers Are Accused. ' In making these assertions, I am mindful of the amazing propaganda with which American public life is being flooded. I am mindful of the intrigue which is everywhere about us. and above all I am mindful of the newly adopted policy of the American- Anglo-German banking group, which perhaps constitutes the most danger ous Element in the whole chain of pro bolshevik effort in America, because it has its' hands on the most power. "The truth is that predatory inter national finance has its appetite up and believes it sees loot in Russia. "I know of nothing more farcical than the attitude of European states men and financiers toward the Rus sian muddle. Essentially it is their purpose, as laid down at Genoa, to plf.ee Russia in economic vassalage and give political recognition in ex change for concessions. . They know immediate trade is not to be had, but thpy kr-ow that eventually they can get at the gold, the coal, the oil, the timber and future products of the soil. "Russia herself is on the bargain counter, behind which stands Lenine as a bandit merchant, to take what he can get and what will serve his pur pose in exchange for the heritage of a people rendered helpless by him and his America, let urs hope, will con tinue to stand for Russian economic independence, as well as political freedom." Third and Last Call Today at 1 o'Clock At Multnomah Hotel THE PIEDMONT AUCTION WILL BE CONTINUED Ninety Lots Remain to Be Sold Union Avenue Lots Sold Saturday at Less Than One-Third Their Value To Grocers, Butchers, Bakers and Merchants: You probably could not get away from your business on Saturday, but you must get away today. You will make more money if you buy a business lot on Union avenue than you could make in your store for several Mondays. In a few years lots on Union avenue will sell readily at upward of $5000 each. Saturday they sold as low as $1200 to $1500 and everyone who bought at these low figures will more than double their money in a short time. Mr. Joseph Simon, the well-known merchant, bought the corner of Union avenue and Ainsworth. He intends to improve this property with a modern store building and will pay cash for his lots. Mr. Simon also refused to consider a PROFIT OF $500.00 for his lot. Mr. Storekeeper, after stores are buil t on Union avenue you will pay in rent in one year what you can buy a lot for to day. So why pay rent? OWN YOUR STORE for a year's rental. The people of Portland now realize that the price of real estate is going higher and the shrewd buyers who bought at Saturday's sale will make money. $50 or $100 May Give You a Deed Come to the Sale Today It 's Your Last Chance to Get in Before the Advance Tel.
