courteey Jtromf the French government.
ilhelfirit step will have been taken to
ward establishing Washington as the in

-Vivianl's coming is to be followed by
a British and a Japanese delegation,
and sooner or later, it is believed in of

cuss the following problems will give

TO STAY TIIB.EE WEEKS
The VJvianl i mission, while officially
one of extending the respects of the
French government to "the v new admin
istration, is to linger in this country at
least three weeks. Obviously it would
not require that much time formally to
extend respects. It will go into finan
cial, economic and political subjects with
this government:
The British mission, fficjally, is sail
to be principally financial, but its per
sonnel, according to reports here.wlll
be such that political subjects, including
America's bases for participation in' an
association of f nations, may easily and
authoritatively be considered. -
It is the announced purpose of Japan
to -send a delegation from its diet to
establish a basis for better understand
ing between the United States and the
Nipponese. It is-learned here, however,
that the personnel of this delegation also
will be such as to ' permit of ; official
discussion between it and the officials

or any other Subject' that may be suggested.-

HOOYE& IMPORTANT FIGURE
In all these transactions between the
administration and the European rep
resentatives, secretaries Hughes and
Hoover ;btd fair to be the outstanding
figures. America's foreign policy is to
be based very largely on economics and
world trade rather than international
politics. Hence Hoover, becaupe of his
own private sources of information de
veloped through his relief organizations.
assumes ;k position of importance in
transacting the nation's foreign policy,
which is not exceeded even by the sec
retary of state. -.
Those who ' saw, . for . : example. ' in
Hughes' announcement on the Russian
trade proposal. ? indicative of Hoover's
influence, recalled that Hoover has more
sources of unprejudiced and in many
cases unpaid information than has the
state department itself. Hoover's relief
workers are all over the world. They
report to him, not on the basis of xo-
litieal expediency, "but on the 'basis of
cold economics. : They have been se
lected by him as experts in their line
of work and many of them are working
for no pecuniary return whatever. : v ,
SOURCES ARE: MAHY'tf';- -i-'t
T-A' an illustration of Hoover's lines
of information it may be recalled that
his was .the first information .that Beta
Kun had sticcessfully effected a Bolshe
vik, revolution, in Hungary. - The state
department had no official advices in
Paris, the war department had none, but
Hoover's food relief wires working from
Budapest to Paris by way : of -Coblens
carried the word. ; "r1
Equally to day Moover'a mukm n
formation' are In prompter and more in
timate touch with Washington than are
the representatives of the state depart
ment in many nations. - It is an Interest
ing situation which gives Hoover al
most commanding power in formulating
w uecisioni oi me administration on
subjects Involving international trade
and economics generally.

Moscow, by Wireless to Berlin,
March 28.I. n! 8.) The deciaion
of the Russian soviet'government to
abolish money as the . medium , of
value arid exchange has been - re
scinded. This announcement was
made today by M. Leahava, head of
the Russian foreign trade board.
, In response to a question as to how
Russia plans to resume trading not only
in this country but with foreign nations,'
M. Leshava said : -;.-' ,f ? y -; i-j .

yet in our internal commerce. However

board will act as agent of the coopera

As to ' government concessions they

"The- concessions require foreign -cap

The announcement that- the Russian

fering of the working class. t
KEEP PAPER ROUBLES , :
' However, while 'money was ordered
abolished the government continued to
print paper roubles. They were not used
in the distribution of such food and

DOUBJLECROSSES ; PEACOCKS
Atlantic City, N. J.,' March 28. That
weatherman down., in Washington is the
meanest thing ever. He predicted that
the customary .Easter fashion parades
would be spoiled by bad weather.
"Everywhere east of the Mississippi
river there were promises of unsettled
Weather and showers of Sunday," is
what he said. What happened was that
much of the usual spring flne-y which
has always marked Atlantic City's great
Easter fashion parade was left at home
by the thousands upon ' thousands of
visitors who came. here for the celebration.-
-. , .j! . j .. .:: (J
It was a case of a beautiful day going
to waste. Here everybody was all ready
to blossom out in new hats and coats
and suits and dresses -and stockings and
shoes and everything, and that mean
old thing down in Washington was so
Insistent about it that it looked like
flirting with sure destruction to bring
tne -prettier- along. ;
The whole result waa that one of th
largest Easter parades ever held on the
famous board walk In this resort was
limited, in the main, to tailored suits
and maybe there wasn't a display of that
portion of milady's' wardrobe. They
were reany wonderrul and were a de
light to the feminine eye, but mere man
muat see something striking, colorful
and diaphanous before it spells spring

Where all -the ' men. women, young
men and young women, girls and' boys

is something that will never - be an

section; the automobiles came in never
er.ding streams. And If the costumes of
some on the board walk are to be be
lieved many came down by motorcycle
also. : Possibly one or two arrived by
airplane, but. however that may be, the
fact remains that it was some crowd.
The unexpected happened in the hotels,
too. Perhaps it would be better to
phrase it differently. It didn't happen
