‘‘Most of the proposed imports of
from six to nine million bushels of
wheat with a possible maximum of
twelve million bushels, will be in
the form of flour,’* the department
said.
“In order to purchase this
wheat and flour together with much
needed supplies of cotton, textiles,
machinery, rubber and other commod
ities, Russia must build up a trade
balance by exports of other commodi
ties.
In the first six months of 1924,
soviet Russis had a large favorable
balance of trade, but in this balance,
bread grains constituted the largest
item.
It seem probable therefore
that during 1925 the soviet govern
ment will make a great effort to in
crease exports of other products such
as butter and eggs, forest products,
furs, bristles,'petroleum products and
minerals. ’’
Reports of, prospects for grain
crops in Russia in 1926 are conflict
ing. The International Institute of
Agriculture reports thst Russian fall
seedings are not larger than last year,
and that in the Ukraine, according to
the Institute, wheat seedings are
larger than last year,but rye seeding*
are smaller.
Weather conditions in Russia have
not been generally favorable for win
ter cereals, and it is probable that
winter killing will be heavy.
In the
important winter wheat areas of the
southwest,
however . weather con
ditions were more favorable than
elsewhere.
The soviet government
is urging the peasants to increase
spring seedings in order to make good
the loase* from winter killing, and it
is reported that much of the foreign
grain purchases will be distributed to
the peasants for seed.

states, through their respective legis

federal child labor amendment; while
some three or four have acted favor

If
obviously out of the question,
any such proposal shall
ever be
adopted, it must be in greatly modi

Oregon went definitely on record
against the measure when the state
senate voted it down, two to one.
A
tide-stepping proposal to refer the
Vhole thing to the people was like
wise rejected.
The action of the
people could only be advisory; it is
the business of the legislature.

Whatever one may think about the
merits of child labor restriction by
constitutor a I amendment, it is per

the general conviction 'that it took in
too much territory.

and each over-night guest means some amount of
money spent with some one or more other person
in the community. In the aggregate this is a good
