RUSSIA'S EXPERIMENT WITH SOCIALISM Conressman Britten Tells What He Saw in That Country. Representative Fred A. Britten, of Illinois, recently returned from a visit to Russia, has completely changed his mind about the desirability of recognition of the soviet government by the United States. Before he went to soviet Russia Mr. Britten advocated the extensión of recognition through the negotiation of a commercial treaty with the Moscow government. Now he has recanted. His observations and experiences in Russia, he said, had given him a new view. Mr Britten called on President Coolidge. When he left the White House he made his confession. It was embodied in a prepared statement in which he told of the objectionable things he had seen and learned in soviet Russia. He said that the soviet regime was "a visionary government whose very foundation is based on murder, anarchy, bolshevism and theft." "I went to Russia to substantiate my publicly expressed opinion in favor of a Russian commercial treaty," the Illinois representative said. "I traveled unofficially selected my own guides sought no favors and really tried to see the good side of that tremendous political theory which is now holding 150,000,000 people in subjection. "I have completely changed my opinion and am quite convinced that any recognition of bolshevik Russia is only lending strength to a cause which sooner or later must fall, and I am now positively opposed to recognition of a visionary government, whose very foundation is based on murder, anarchy, bolshevism and theft. "The country is ruled in silent terror by a clique of theoretical dreamers who are too stubborn to admit Everything that does not now belong to the state finally automatically reverts to the state This is done to prevent individual success. No one should be rich. "The government insists on doing all of the business, and it should be permitted to do so by the rest of the world until it nally 'blows up'. "The best hotels are used by the bolshevik leaders themselves, at a minimum cost, of course and at a loss to the nation. "Considerable has been said in America about the new Russian money, called 'chervonez,' which is comparable with the British pound sterling and which has a so-called value of $4.85. "The chervonez is backed by such gold, silver, foreign deposits and credits as the government may have, as well as by crown jewels. "No one can tell how many chervonez have been printed, and no one knows what value has been placed on the crown jewels and other questionable credits; so that it is impossible to determine the real value of the chervonez. "When the present government breaks up the chervonez will be worth no more than the ruble. It has no value outside of Russia, but it is maintained at a practically $4.85 gold value by a systematic manipulation of the banks, which are government owned and controlled. "Shortly before our arrival in Russia seventeen men favoring conservative action were led by communist spies to a friendly meeting place. Each and every one of them was shot back of the ear by an unseen hand as he passed through a doorway. It was explained that this procedure was humane and without the mental pain usually accompanying death before a firing squad. "I met a man who was put in jail for four months before he failed to give up a $5 void piece which was of the government owed been agreed upon by both the Finnish governor to the approval of Congress the terms agreed upon at the beginning of session. The indebtedness owed to the government of Cuba has been full. The report states that ambassador at Washington June, 1922, the hope on his return from India for the commission de for the consolidation of Belgium, but certain informal discussions representatives of the Belgian ambassador the exact status of their proposals or suggest as yet received. Representatives of vak government, whoington last May, have given due after bringing agreement as to the amount their country to the administration and the grain corporation, further discussion therewith with the War department United States Shipping understood that they the United States this time the negotiations. The government owed pected to appoint renegotiate with the commission. The government owed representative to new commission in the same After a full discussion sentation of complete representative retu to confer with his further proposals or have received since late The Hungarian minister appointed by to negotiate with the adviser "I have completely changed my opinion and am quite convinced that any recognition of bolshevik Russia is only lending strength to a cause which sooner or later must fail, and I am now positively opposed to recognition of a visionary government, whose very foundation is based on murder, anarchy, bolshism and theft. "The country is ruled in silent terror by a clique of theoretical dreamers who are too stubborn to admit their wrong. These theorists are now living in palaces and riding in automobiles. In fact, poor men are the only ones who can afford to ride in automobiles in Russia. The rich have either been killed or driven out of the country. Bolshevism has made all Russia poor. "They have autocratic control of the military, the post, the telegraph, the railways, the police and everything worth while, and any one who disagrees is instantly converted by their democratic instruments of persuasion, 'the gun or the jail'. The red press is the only press permitted in the country, and no foreign newspaper or magazine is permitted to enter the country either by mail or otherwise. "There is so such thing as free speech. Probably the most rigid consorship that the world has ever known is now going on in Russia. I heard of the case of a young girl who was put in jail for eight months because she had written to a relative out of the state, saying she would thank God when the time would come when she might leave poor, unhappy Russia. "Atheism is being generally taught, and religion and Christ are cartooned in ridiculous attitudes. Most of the churches in Russia are closed because of government opposition. A large sign at the entrance to the Kremlin palace reads: 'Religion is the opium of the state;' while another pet slogan of the bolsheviks is 'Religion is the tool of the rich to oppress the poor.' "I had a long conference with missar Tchitcherin, who said that President Harding's speech at San Francisco closed the door to further hopes for a meeting of the countries on a commercial treaty. "He said that an 'evolution of nature' brought about the new Russia, and beyond that socalled 'evolution of nature' everything must be forgotten. Property confiscated could not be returned, he said, and everything must start afresh from nature's 'evolution.' The new Russia could not be responsible for debts of the former Russia, and there is no intention on the part sa seventeen men favoring conservative action were led by communist spies to a friendly meeting place. Each and every one of them was shot back of the ear by an unseen hand as he passed through a doorway. It was explained that this procedure was humane and without the mental pain usually accompanying death before a firing squad. "I met a man who was put in jail for four months before he failed to give up a $5 void piece which was found on his person. The support of his wife and four children was of no concern to the government. "People, foreign or otherise, leaving Russia are taxed on everything they carry above reasonable requirements as interpreted by bolshevist extravagance. "A man traveling with more than three shirts, six collars, two suits of clothes, three suits of underwear, one watch, one ring or one overcoat is taxed on the surplus, while kodaks, toilet articles and other unnecessary articles of luxury are heavily taxed. "Petrograd looks like a great summer resort city in the winter time. Thousands of houses and stores are closed, and the city has been reduced in population by nearly a half-million people.. Oof those that are left, 130-000 are one-of-employment. "The children looked healthy and strong and many well-dressed women and girls wear shoes, but no stockings." WHAT EUROPE OWES US America's commission to handle the World war foreign debts has made a report of the present status of the indebtedness of other governments to this government. In this connection the commission states that it "hopes to obtain further adjustments with the various debtor governments at the earliest possible date." The commission is composed of Secretary of the Treasury, Mellon, Secretary of the State Hughes, Secretary of Commerce Hoover, Senator Smoot and Representative Burton, of Ohio. Ellot Wadsworth, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, is secretary of the commission. According to the preliminary report issued by the commission, the existing status of foreign debts owed this country by other governments may be summarized as follows: The commission now has to deal with debts of foreign countries amounting to $5,970,117,427, on which interest amounting to $1,088,457,478 negotiate with the commission. The government or representative to new commission in the state After a full discussion sentation of complete representative retu to confer with his further proposals or been received since last.

"He said that an 'evolution of nature' brought about the new Russia, and beyond that socalled 'evolution of nature' everything must be forgotten. Property confiscated could not be returned, he said, and everything must start afresh from nature's 'evolution.' The new Russia could not be responsible for debts of the former Russia, and there is no intention on the part of the bolsheviks to ever pay the United States the millions due us. "Tchitcherin said that the autocrats and rich men were merely 'parasites on labor.'" "The communist political party which rules Russia is composed of workers. An 'intellectual' desiring enrollment in the communist party must wait five years after filing his application. This is done to keep the intellectual out of the party. Big 'Bill' Haywood who was deported from America, is living in Moscow as the American representative of the communist party." "The government has 'nationalized' practically every walk of industry or business, and it calls them 'trusts.' There is the hotel trust, the meat trust, the bread trust, the textile trust etc., and each of these communal endeavors promotes jobs for those who are fortunate. Watchers and checkers to prevent theft are everywhere. "Black bread was 4,500,000 rubles per pound and white bread 6,000,000 rubles per pound. "A common street laborer gets 50,000,000 rubles a day. There is no incentive whatever for any one in or out of Russia to invest a dollar there under the present bolshevik government." of the government of Finland has been agreed upon by the commission and the Finnish government, subject to the approval of Congress, to which the terms agreed upon will be submitted at the beginning of the coming session. The indebtedness of the government of Cuba has been liquidated in full. The report states that the Belgian ambassador at Washington expressed in June, 1922, the hope that he could on his return from Belgium lay before the commission definite proposals for the consolidation of the indebtedness of Belgium, but that except for certain informal discussions between representatives on the commission and the Belgian ambassador, relative to the exact status of the Belgain debt, no proposals or suggestions have been as yet received. Representatives of the Czechoslovak government, who came to Washington last May, have returned to Prague after bringing about an agreement as to the amount of the debt of their country to the American relief administration and the United States grain corporation, but leaving for further discussion the final settlement with the War department and the United States Shipping board. It is understood that they will return to the United States this autumn to continue the negotiations. The government of Esthonia is expected to appoint representatives to negotiate with the commission shortly. The government of France sent a representative to negotiate with the commission in the summer of 1922. After a full discussion and the presentation of complete figures the French representative returned to France to confer with his government. No further proposals or suggestions have been received since his departure. The Hungarian minister at Washington, appointed by his government to negotiate with the commission, has advised the commission that his gov- manded in the complaint.

The representatives of the government of Roumania came to Washington in November, 1922, and held meetings with the commission. Complete figures were presented as to the financial conditions of Roumania. The Roumania representatives did not have authority to enter into any binding agreement for refunding, but made statements to the effect that it was the intention of their government to meet the indebtedness as soon as it became possible to do so, and asked that their visit might be considered as a preliminary one, further negotiations to be undertaken at a later date.
