The Hull school of diplomacy Is develop ing soma artful' new tricks. The one worked on Russia this week was a gem. It was really only the old-fashioned squeeze play, but It was dressed up with some novel ihno , Tatlons so no one would recognize It. George Peek staged It. He an nounced with an Innocent look on his face that bis Paul Mallon second Import bank was ready for bigger things. It would, he said, ex pand its operations beyond Cuba to finance the sale of American goods for all th world that Is, all the world except Russia. The red prob lem was to be handled by the first bank. That stunned the Russians. They are almost as sensitive diplomatically as the Japanese. Such discrimina tion against them would ordlnarly be considered an affront. They came Into the state department on the run. There State Secretary Hull greeted them with his best poker face. He aid, and repeated twice, that he had not read Mr. Peek's announcement, either before or after it was written. He left the Impression that he was. perhaps, angry that Mr. Peek had acted without informing him. Mr. Hull probably never told a fib I In his lite, and he did not this time. But If the Russians had looked on his or a nearby desk they might have been able to find, under a pile of papers, a copy of the Peek report. It had been there for some time. Ap parently Mr. Hull had not got around to reading It. You know how those things are. A man should read only That Is good for him to read. It stumped the Russians. They knew darned well they were being affronted, but It was all so Indirect, and the tate secretary denied any connection with It. Before long they caught on to the fart that they had better get busy Immediately and resume negotiations about settlement of the crarlst and Kerensky debts If they wanted any of Mr. Peek's financial help. The very next day the Russians re turned debt negotiations. The way the play was worked out en the Inside was this: Mr. Hull's good friend and assist ant.

CANNERY PEARS IS E tinder a ruling handed down yes- terdsy by the buresu of pure footls and druga at Washington, D. C, Bart lett pears consigned to canneries thla season are exempted from waahlng for spray residue, but must be wash ed next year, according to Fletcher Fish, Inspector In charge at thla point. However, for the balance of this season, all cannery ahipmente to Call fornla or elsewhere will be subject to policing at Sacramento, Cal., and other points, to see that no unwashed pears are diverted to tha fresh fruit msrkcts. Copies of bills of lading f?r all cannery shipments will be for. warded to the pure food and drug chief at Sacramento. The trouble arose when complaints were filed that Bartlett shipments to csnnerles were being diverted to the Ireah fruit markets in the south. Upon protest of packers and grow ers, wired yeaterday to Washington, D. O., the waahlng order for this sea son waa rescinded. It enforcement would have worked a aevere Ilnancial and labor hardship on local growers and packera. It haa not been the rule to wah cannory Bartletta, Inasmuch aa they were washed and peeled by the can neries, before canning. When reporta were tiled that cannery Bartletta were being diverted to Ireah fruit markets steps were taken for the removal of deleterlnua matter. Inspector Fish states that the order haa been suspended for the balar.ee of this season, and that all Bartlett shipments from this point will be re ported to Sacramento, to Insure that there are no further dlveralon. There was a lull here ysaterdsy in csnnery shipments, pending the ad.
