April 19 The far eastern republic pi Chita ha re ceived orders from the Russian bol- tlevik governmeat to avoid any possible conflict "svith the Japanese and if possible to wndertake the ne gotiation of trade treaty with hpan, according to official advices today. For this purpose, Scregnikoy. former secretary of . the Krassin trade mission in London, was re ported to have arrived in Vladivos (ck from Moscow . to assist in thj formulation of the terms. Yourin, representative of the far eastern republic for some time in Tekin and who has endeavored to negotiate a trade agreement with the Chinese government; according to the same advices, has been informed thkt two conditions preliminary to any understanding between the two governments were, promise of ab stinence from any bolshevik propa ganda in China and the adequate protection of. Chinese in Siberia, i By an agreement concluded te- tween the bolsheviki government of Moscow and the far eastern republic the boundaries of the latter country were reported to have been for the first time fixed and to include the northern part of the Islaud of Sag halien, recently occupied by Japan, despite the protest of the American government. Beginning at a point where the Sa lenga river enters Siberia from Mon golia, the boundary follows the river where it turns west, thence along the Verkhnie-Udinsk line to the center of Lake Baikal, north to the lake, I eastward along the northern boun daries of the Transbaikal, Amur and Maritime provinces to the coast drainage, thence to the Okhotsk sea near latitude 56 and including the islands near the mainland and the " northern half of the Island of Sag halien, 12 New York Banks Own Nation's Railroads (Continued From Faco On.) major banks, the railroads and the in thig focal capitalist group, has de liberately maintained high prices of steel, coal, cement and other basic materials and that the railroads, fi nanced by the samev interests, have refused to place the orders for plant maintenance, or even the orders nec essary to prevent plant and equipment deterioration. . ? Lead of House of Morgan. "The exhibit shows that the great-. er factors in American industry, the railway equipment producers, the railway repair works, the steel in terests, the coal, cement and other basic material producers-r-all are . closely bound together by intercapi tal relations and interlocking direc torates, coming, 16 focus in the House of Morgan. "The railroads are pleading pov erty. The bauks are making un precedented orofils and .declaring unprecedented , dividends and the( same applies xo sieei, coai, rauwuj equipment and similarly situated concerns. The capital combine, in preparing to precipitate unemploy ment, adopted the policy that the railroads 'should do it first.' Rail way improvement , programs t were deferred; railway maintenance was reduced below, miftimum legal re quirement. '- "The report brings into clear re lief the fact that there is no founda tion for opinion which the employ ers' publicity machinery would pop ularize that the railways and the other great industries are the victims of some misfortune of the times. t "The industrial paralysis which has staggered America is 'capital on strike against society.' And capi tal, nationally and internationally crganized and concentrated,, takes the staud that the 'capital strike shall go on until labor comes to its knees -and consents; to sweeping re-: ductions of wages," and also con sents to surrender its right to bar gain collectively on a scale co extensive with the organization of the employers." Taking up first the layoff charges the 'report presented by Mr. Lauck K faid that railroad shop layoSs, in complete, in the past nine months were more than 103,000, . ItJ detailing . the- composition of the alleged banking combine in con trol of the railroads, the report said that the Vanderbilt directorships were not included. It said that among the 12 banks, the Guarantee Trust company held the largest number of railroad directorships with 50, while the National City bank had 48. Have Deflated-Farmers! ; The report covered again the statements made earlier in the pres ent hearing by Mr. B. ,M. Jewell, for the employes, that 25 well known railroad men held 19J railroad direc- torships in 1920 on 99 class 1 roads, covering 82 per cent of the coun try's steam transportation. Naming these men again, the report said that a number of them "belong to the inner banking circle cantering around the house of Morgan and the National City bank." Basic raw materials were divided by the report into two classes ag ricultural products and mineral products. The effect of the. fall of the agricultural class, the report as serted, had been to spread loss ; among farmers and to afford an ex cuse for sharp reduction in wages, and finally ' to cause a .temporary manufacturing depression. If min eral raw materials had fallen, the re port declared, industry would have been stimulated. It declared that the . "financial combine" controlled the production of mineral raw ma terials. Stel, ' lement "and coal were, specifically , mentioned m among the mineral materials. The report charged that. "the combine is ' holding up the prices of steel and Xjther railway supplies with a view at accentuating the depression and then . persuading the public that the rail ways cannot agree with the equip ment companies over prices." .'.

There have been times when the meaning, of Monroeism was misun derstood by some, perverted by others and made the subject of dis torting propaganda by those who saw in it an obstacle to the realiza tion of their own ambitions. Some have sought to make our adhfsion to this doctrine a justification for prejudice against the United States. They have. falsely charged that we sought to hold the nations of the old world at arms length, in order that we might monopolize the : privilege of exploitation for ourselves.
