T AMERICA WOULD SEND" EXPERTS TO AID RUSSIA By Robert J .Header I' sited New Staff Corraapoedaat , Washington, Aug. 31. In the face of a threatened economic crash In Europe the United ."States government frits made an Initial move to strike at what it believes' to' be the root: of the difficulty chaos in Russia. .. Failures registered by the' allied powers at Genoa and The Hague to ef fect a sound basis of aid to Russia, due, it is held hsre, to the fact that political considerations were permitted to dominate discueion of a strictly economic problem, haveled this gov ernment to make a separate move to the enfi desired. United States Ambassador Houghton at Berlin, upon instructions-from the state department, has asked the soviet government whether it would welcome an American commission of experts, despatched to study purely economic conditions in Russia, and report both findings and recommendations to Pres ident Harding. TO STUDY PROBLEM The prime object of this commission would be to investigate the.-causes of non-productivity ia Russia and would include experts' in agriculture, trans-, portatlon and similar lines contribut-' ing to normal productivity. Both privately and in official com munications to the allied powers. American officials bave stressed these points : 1 That there can . be no peace in Europe or a general moral and physical disarmament until the problem of Rus sia is solved. 2 That .the Russian problem is es sentially economic In that there can be no solution until productivity is re stored. 3 That before the world can aid Russia in restoring productivity a thorough study by established experts as to the causes of the present non productivity must be made. PRACTICAL FLAX SOUGHT 4 This done, practical methods which might be applied to assist Rus sia in restoring production could be evolved. The purpose of the proposed com mission of experts, therefore, would be to ascertain, first hand, exactly what practical measures could be adopted by the United States alone, or in con cert with European powers, toward putting Russia on her feet. Once the investigation were com pleted and recommendations made the United States government could either call a conference of the powers to co operate in putting remedial measures into effect or could act alone with the cooperation of Russia While the state department, in an nouncing that informal overtures had been made to the soviet government relative to the proposed commission, declared "there has been no question at any time of sending any commis sion to Russia other than an economic commission of experts to study and report." BKCOOITIOS FACTOR Great significance is attached to the move. There has been manifest satisfaction expressed by officials recently in the progress the soviet government has made toward laying the groundwork for practical assistance, and though the despatch of a commission of experts would not directly involve the question of recognition it is said that if a path is paved toward American aid to Rus sia recognition of the Russian govern ment would be drawn much nearer. Lost Hunter Is in Marshfield, Safe After Long Walk Marshfield, Aug. 31. Dale Cornutt. Standard Oil company employe of Rosebursj, who was lost In the woods when he became separated from a hunting party last Sunday, is safe in Marshfield.

Our discussion is sot a leaning toward feminism, but simply a recognition of tbe modern tendency towards, equality of rights between the sexes." Delay in acting upon these matters has been due largely to the slow progress made by. the upper house, the house of bishops, which, though small er than the housu ' of deputies, has a much greater volunm of work to do.

KILLS SELF; Close beside the walls of a nearly completed building which he had planned for his home, the body of Eric Elfstrom, Sl-year-old bachelor, was found today. He had slashed his throat and then buried a bullet in his brain. Reason for Elfstrom's act is a mys tery to the police, who are investigat ing to determine whether it was busi ness troubles, declining health or a love affair that had led him suddenly to take his own life. A taciturn man, Elfstrom had resided at the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. C Elides, No. 655 East 68th street north, for more than a year without reveal ing much of the history of his life. He was a contractor and carpenter. As far as is known, however, the only work he had recently done was on the house he was building on his own ac count. On ' the property adjacent to the Fildes home Elfstrom had been build ing a $7000 house which Was prac tically complete. Two weeks ago the contractor went to British Columbia. His mission was unreveaied. Wednes day he returned from the North. Just ' before dinner Elfstrom com plained of feeling ill and said he was going for a short walk. He did not return for dinner nor for his ac customed early turning in for the night. ' Today Elfstrom's body was found in the garage on his property with his throat slashed and a bullet through his head. When Elfstrorn left tor the North he said that he would be a "new man when he got back.

So far only a few pieces have been removed and no more will be allowed to leave the yard before an agreement is reached between the Standifer com pany and the port commission as to what reverts to the port, with the ground on which the yard is bjilt, according to Floyd Swan, port com missioner. This agreement was de cided on when the matter was brought befotthe Rotary club recently. The Standifer company has a 80-year lease on the yard, at a nominal rental, conditioned on tho maintenance of an adequate manufacturing plant "when conditions are favorable." The yard was closed in May. 1921. after building ten 8000-ton ships for the government, five fc500-ton ships tor the Green Star line and five 12, 000-ton tank steamers. Hopes have been entertained in Van couver that the yard would be pur chased by some large steel manu facturing company that would operate It, as the machinery is sufficient to work 4000 men sTipbuIlding and in cludes an electric plant, air compres sors and a plant for manufacturing acetylene gas.

But on previous occa sions he was the questioner and some one else was the prisoner.
