BY TIFF RULE
Warehouses Bulge With
Autos, Radios As Revolu-
. tionary Government Tries
To Halt Extravagance.
By Demlng Seymour
BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 3-rThe ware
houses of Buenos Ailes are bulging
with automobiles, radios, electrlo re
frigerators, phonographs, power farm
machinery and kindred Imports suf-
flcient to fill Argentina's needs for
from one to three years.
The stocks represent the .efforts of
manufacturers, largely In the United
States, to cope with a tariff policy
under which the Argentine govern
ment, In order to obtain a favorable
balanoe of trade, Is curtailing the ex
penditures of Its citizens for Import
ed 'luxuries."
Slices Trade Balance
When the - revolutionary govern
ment came Into power a year ago It
found Argentina spending more than
It earned. In 1930, with a rather
poor harvest , the country bought
goods worth $45,000,000 more than It
got for produce sold abroad.
The government could hardly In
crease the nation's earnings, for the
staple exports are grain and meat on
which the producer does not set the
price and the production of which
cannot be stimulated In one year or
two. But It could and did attack
the unfavorable trade balance by
curtailing the nation's shopping
habit.
Climaxing months of experiment
designed to bring Income above out
go, the government put Into effect
on September 1 a new basis of im
port valuations aimed frankly at
keeping Argentines from spending so
muoh abroad.
Scores Big Net Gain
Such imports as motor cars, elec
tric refrigerators and radios had been
assessed 32 per cent duty on rather
haphazard valuations. Under the
new decree valuations are set accord
ing to weight. The duties remain
generally around 32 per cent, but
their amount trends sharply upward.
Argentina has sold a much larger
quantity of produce abroad this year
than In 1930, but prices of meat and
grain have been inuch.4ower -Nonetheless
tthe monetary value of Argen
tina's exports la only 2.7 per cent less
In 1931 than It was In 1930, while the
value of Its imports has been reduced
by 25 per cent.
Thus Argentina's trade balance,
adverse last year by $44,500,000, will
be favorable In 1931 by more than
$30,000,000, and Argentina at the end
of 1931 will be $76,000,000 better off
than It was a year ago.

OF L
WOMEN'S RIGHTS
By A. Aziz AznA
MOSCOW, Oct. 3 A fighter by her
husband's side up from czarlst op
pression, threugh the dark days of
revolution and the difficult years of
reconstruction, Nadejda Konstantl
nova Krupskaya, widow of Lenin,
carries on as Red Russia's most mil
itant feminist leader.
Like her -contemporaries In the
United States and England, hers was
a role of pioneering for women's
rig.hU, but under much more haz
ardous conditions than were faced In
other countries during the early days
of the suffrage movement.
Demanded Freedom
She wanted not only equal politi
cal rights for women. She demand
ed Also freedom from what she call
ed "domestic slavery."
The first goal has been attained,
for there Is no discrimination against
her sex ' in any phase of the new
Russian life. She has lived to see
the young social 1st io state making
progress toward achievement of the
second. '
Even beforo the revolution, Krup
skaya's battle cry was: "Down with
domestic work! Down with Illiter
acy I" At 62, those phrases still
form the keystone of her philosophy.
Foe of Kitchen Work
Childless herself, although known
as "grandmother" to all Russia, ahe
has been always an enemy of such
"unproductive" work as cooking,
washing and child rearing.
She has been Instead a vigorous
advocate of communal dining halls,
laundries, sewing factories, nurseries
and kindergartens so that women
would be free to take active parte
In industry.
To a friend who asked her recent
ly what ahe would like most to see
before she dies, she replied:
"Illiteracy gone from the O. 8. S.
R. and women emancipated from
domestic work."
Had Knrly Hardships
Born In 1869 of poor parents.
Krupnkaya's early life was one of
hardship. She and her mother eked
out a bare existence, chiefly by tu
toring. Krupskaya became an orphan In
her teens and entered the revolu
tionary ranks, where she disting
uished herself first as secretary of
a communist Journal In Germany.
Later her revolutionary career won
'or her numerous arrests and two
exiles by the czarlst police.
Has Kremlin Apartment
It was while ' both were In exile
In 1890 that she and Lenin met and
were married tn the vi.lage of &hu
shenskoe. Since Lenin's death she baa lived
alone within the Kremlin In an
apartment house which also shelters
Kslenln, nominal bead of the Soviet
government, and other notables of
the communist party.
A few plain dresses comprise her
wardrobe. She generally wears ft
black shawl Instead of ft hat.
Attorney Forfeits Ball
PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 3, (AP)
Denton Burdlck, attorney here, and
former member of the state legisla
ture, forfeited $10 ball In city court
here yesterday when he failed to ap
pear to answer to ft charge of drunkenness.
SHORT SALES ON
STOCKEXCHANGE
U. S. Chamber Commerce
Woultt Hold Selling to
Actual Possessors Stock
Would Admit Orientals
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3. (AP)
A resolution urging the New Yurk
stock exchange to take steps to limit
short selling of stock and bonds was
adopted today by the board of direct
tors of the Chamber of Commerce f
the United States.
The resolution said that the lim
itation might require that "such sales
be prohibited except by those who
have actual possession of such secir
lties or those who deposit 40 per cent
of the sale value in cash and give
evidence of possession of the re
mainder." Legitimate marketing of securities
would not be interfered with.
National planning to keep produc
tion and consumption balanced Is
favored by many bu&lneaa leaders as
a preventive of depressions.
The Idea is embodied In a report
which a committee of the chamber.
headed by Henry I. Harrlman of Bos
ton, has given to the chamber's board
of directors for approval.
Another committee has told the di
rectors It would "remove a cause of
Irritation" If Japan, China and other
far eastern countries were placed on
an Immigration quota basis. The dis
crimination against the Japanese, It
said, has handicapped American
trade.

PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 8. (AP)
Wars and rumors of wars In Port

sale for 4 per cent milk. - v, .
. This was regarded as the first out
spoken challenge In what may develop
into a new price war.
Rabbi Henry J. Berkowltz, milk ar
biter here, sold that he feels the Idea
of selling malk at 6 cents, below the
cost of production and distribution,
"will react to the detriment of the
companies which have gone under the
others In the price schedule."

Order Restored After Two
Nights of Violence Great
Stocks of Food Carried
Away From Looted Shops
GLASGOW, Scotland, Oct. 3. (AP)
The most vindictive rioting and
looting In years, extending Intermit
tently over two nights and a day,
came to a climax early today when
police swept the streets clean and
restored order. .
Resuming about 8:30 last night,
the battle between Jobless men dem
onstrating against dole reductions
and the forces of the law raged for
more than six hours An undeter
mined number of rioters and several
police were Injured and upwards of
100 arrests were made.
Riots Quickly Spread,
The melee began when police
charged a body of about 100 men
who were holding a manifestation
outside the Jail. In which John Mc
Oovern, labor M. P.. and hla lieu
tenants were being held for Thurs
day night's outbreak. Almost simul
taneously trouble started In the Gal-
lowgate, Glasgow Cross and otner
sections of the city.
Far outnumbered, the police tried
on foot and horseback to disperse
the mobs. They charged time and
again with loaded batons and the
rioters replied with hatchets, ham
mers and makeshift weapons oi
every description. A variety of mis
siles thrown from neighboring
houses added to. the uproar.
Stores Looted.
As fast as the demonstrators were
driven off the main streets, they
darted Into alleys and formed tot
renewed attacks. Throughout the
night and early hours they broke
into countless shops and carried

dreds nursed battered heads end
broken limbs within ttie privacy
their homes. i-

ILL
OGERS
EL PASO, Texas, October .
These old big boys work fast

bankers are coming down from
New fcifc-daily to show Presi

ratorium should be extended
