IS PREACHED TODAY AS
CRY FOR TRIFT WEEK
Paris, Jan. 19. Elaborate plans for
the resumption of commercial rela
tions between the Russian Deonle and
allied nations have been worked out
and It is expected the bolshevikl will
permit the free interchange of manu
factured goods and raw material and
It will be a comparatively simple mat
ter lo distribute goods among the Rus
sian people under the agreement an
nounced :ast Friday by the supreme
eounc.il. It . said by Russians who ta
inted in the negotiating that pr.-ced-
ed Ihe r. rcuncement Surplus stocks
of wheat, i'ux and jur-.her await ex
port from Russia, and all that is nsU-
p Is ocean tonnage to carry theso in
ducts to the markets of she wor'.d.
Details of the plan to be followed
were given the Associated Press toi'av

siantln Krcvopouskiff. resoootivilv

board of the Rusisan Cooperative Un
ion, through which trade will hA rnp.
ried on. They, conducted the negotia
Hons with the supreme council which
brought about the adoption of a policy
reversing that followed by the allies
during the last two years.
System Non-Political.
"It must be understood the agree
ment has no political character what
soever," said M. Berkenheim. "It is
merely an economic, financial and hu
manitarian arrangement. Russian co
operative unions, organized fifty years
ago, now number BOO branches and
have 60,000 local societies with 25,-
uuu.uuv members. These societies op
erate throughout Russia whether un.
der bolshevik rule or controlled by oth
er governments. It is a sort of Russian
economic Red Cross.
"In February, 1919. we laid before
tne British foreign office and also be
fore the secretary of Premier Lloyd
George our plan, which now has been
adopted, for the exchange of Russian
raw material, for' manufactured goods
from allied countries.
This plan Is very simple. We have
in Russia great stocks of wheat, cereals
cattle arid flax which are now larger
than Russia ever disposed of.
Three problems must be met in or
der to arrive at an exchange of goods
first, transformation of raw material
outside of RuRsla; second, the mode of
payment to the Russian producer, and
tmra, distribution of imported good to
Russian consumers.
" Implements Needed.
"We require farming and agricul
tural implements,' cloth, shoes, loco
motives, motors, automobiles and med-.
ical supplies, Ship tonnage must be
furnished by the allies as Russia's
shipping has completely disappeared.
We must Import first in order to ex
port." .
. Mr. Eerkehheim would not say whe
ther this tonnage had been promised
by Great Britain.
The correspondent Informed M.
Berkenheim that it was the belief in
France that the bolshevikl would super
vise distribution and allow goods to
reach their adherents while the rest of
the population might go barefooted
and naked.
"Our stores are not under the con
trol of the bolshevikl," he replied.
"When the Moscow government na
tionalized all stores and closed them,
our stores continued business undis
turbed. This was not through any un
due friendship with the de facto gov
ernment but because of the high es
teem in which the co-operative socle
ties are held by the population through
out Russia, We feel sure our head
quarters in Moscow can reach a satis
factory agreement with the soviet au
thorities for an Impartial distribution."
Washington, Jan. 20. Rear Admiral
Henry T Mayo, commander in chief of
the United States fleet during the war.
told the senate committee investigating
naval awards today that his letter to
Secretary Daniel on December 23, de
claring that the Knight board did not
given sufficient consideration to serv
ice at sea:, particularly to the duties
and responsibilities of members of the
staff of the commander in chief of the
fleet, was not to be considered in any
sense one of a firotest He read the
letter at the request of Chairman Hale.
Admiral Mayo took a view diametri
cally opposed to that expressed by
Rear Admiral Sims, who told the sub
committee that .the Knight board. In
granting awards,' gave too little con
sideration to the record of officers
who served on shore. The navy de
partment made public Admiral Mayo's
letter on the subject some days ago.
The examination of Admiral Mayo

the senate naval committee that the

fined entirely to the quesion of war! Testifying that
decoration awards, charges made by
Admiral Sims that the navy depart
ment did not cooperate fully with the
allies during the war being deferred
for subsequent investigation.
Admiral Mayo said his letter was
written after practically all of his rec
ommendations had Keen changed or
disapproved by the board of Secretary
Daniels.
"I made very few recommendations
for awards," he said, "mostly in the
cases of members of my personal staff,
force commanders and commanders
operating independently. In the case
of Captain O. P. Jackson, my chief of
staff, took a very conservative view
and recommended a navy, cross. In
view of other commanders recommend
lng their chiefs aids for distinguished
service medals the board increased my
recommendation to a distinguished
service medal, but Secretary Danism
reduced It back to a navy cross. Cap
tain Jackson was the only of my stiff.
I believe, who finally received any dec-
Admiral Sims was medal.
"supposed to be" under his command
during the war, Admiral Mayo said
that in order to facilitate matters Ad
miral Sims did not report to him, but
directly to the navy department
Lack of a well defined policy for the
award of naval honors may have had a
bearing on - the decoration situation,
Admiral Mayo said, adding:
"Both the board and the secretary
were acting within their rights and
prerogatives in changing recommenda
tions for awards."
"But don't you believe, admiral, that
the board and the secretary should
have consulted you before' changing
your recommendations?" asked Chair
man Hale.
"No, I do not," replied the admiral.
"I do not beleve it would have been
practicable. It might have been de
sirable, however." , '
"I do not say I was satisfied with
the result of the action of the board
and the secretary," added Admiral
Mayo, "but I do say that they had the
right to take such action as they wish
ed and to assume the responsibility."
Chairman Hale said there was no
record that Commander P. W. Foote,
now personal aide to Secretary Daniels
had been recommended by any officer
for a decoration .although the secre
tary awarded him a distinguished serv
ice medal. Admiral Mayo replied that
he had approved a recommendation by
Admiral Gleaves, commanding the
cruiser and transport force, that Foote
be awarded a distinguished service

Washington, Jauu- 20. Attorney
General Palmer Bald today he had re
ceived no Information that bitumin
ous coal operators had added to the
price of coal the 14 per cent wage in
crease to miners authorized by Presi
dent Wilson pending final settlement
of the wage controversy.
"It Is true," said Mr. Palmer,
in some sections of the country a
larger price Is being charged for coal
than that fixed by the fuel adminis
tration. This makes It appear as if
the operators had added the 14 per
cent Increase in wages to the price of
coal.
"Where the price Is greater than
the fuel administration price, It is
caused by the fact that the operator
alleges that the coal was bought on
contract before October SI, 1919,
which contract coal was expressly ex
cepted from the government ift-ice by
an order Issued by Dr. Garfield on
November 12."
Tertjokl, Finland, Monday, Jan. It.
Russians who were deported from

might be termed an official reception
Just outside this village today. In the
crowd that greeted Alexander Berk-
man, Emma Goldman and their "com
rades" was M. Zorlen, member of the
all-soviet executive committed; who
after a brief conference with Berk man
agreed to permit the whole party to
enter bolshevikl Russia.
There Is no question they Will b
welcomed In Russia," said M. Zoreln.
We will give them work according to
their professions and trades, but first
we must provide them with comfort

are politically persecuted." ." '
Meet in Mld-strcam.
There was a slight delay In getting-
ln touch with - the bolshevikl, whom
lines were about a mile distance from
the brook marking soviet territory.
When finally a conference had been
arranged, Berkman, accompanied by
Finnish officers and newspaper corre
spondents, went out on the Ice, meet
ing the bolshevikl ln the middle of the
stream. Both parties conspicuously
displayed white flags, the one carried
by the bolshevikl soldiers being a table
cloth tied to a red pole. After a short
parley the soviet officers summoned
the members of the soviet committee
of Petrograd, which Included Josepn
Felndeberg, former British labor lead
er ,and M, Zorlen. The committee wan
conducted to Terijokl, whero a confer
ence was held.
On the way back to the village M.
Zoreln told Berkman that Admiral Kol
chak had been made prisoner ln 81- "
bcria. This news was shouted to other
deportees who were leaning out of the
windows of the train and was received
with cheers. ' . ..

Shortly after the decision to recrlve

Finnish soldiers guarded the road and
the transfer was made without a hitch.
Captain Emll Nielsen of the British

the deportees for the purpose of ar

Zorlen, who says everyone there was
getting one and a quarter pounds of

tively little Idleness and wood and f-iel
were more abundant, making life more
pleasant than heretofore, he said. Tho
greatest difficulty had been experi
