WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 3. 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

would recognize
It.

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. Walter Moore, la a director of
Mr. Peek's bank. Likewise, Mr. Moore

The trouble arose when complaints

Upon protest of packers and grow

Inspector Fish states that the order
