French Papers Claim Russian Doan is to Finance Struggle
BRIAND ON JOB
London—The Daily Telegraph’s cor
respondent at Riga, reported that
Military and Naval Commisary Voro-
siloff, speaking at Odessa, said that
the Soviet forces are preparing for a
struggle that will decide the destinies
of mankind.
VorosIlofE said the enemies of the
Soviet Union underestimate the im
portance of the present manoeuvres
in Soviet territory, which include
sham battles, in which Communist
organizations participate.
Moscow, Russia—Despite the anti-
Soviet campaign being carried on in
some French newspapers and the ac
cusation made by Figaro, the French
daily, t|hat the $120,000,000 credits
Soviet Russia is seeking from France
are wanted to finance a world revolu
tion, optimism still remains in official
circles j here regarding the ultimate
outcome of the Russo-French debt
negtiations.
"Thfe eleventh hour,” complications
in the debt situation which are stated
to have ‘ caused no surprise in Mos
cow, are attributed here to several dis
tinct causes, the chief being pressure
by reactionary Anglo-French interests
bent "on destroying Soviet Russia by
force, if necessary, and the desire
among the more practical French poli
ticians to take the fullest advantage of
the Anglo-Russian break
juggle figures in favor
against Russia.
This latter desire, it
here, was shown in the latest sugges-

Until he has taken the matter up

It will, in all probability, according
to this authority, state that any agree

impossible, but will envisage definite
suspension of the debt negotiations
which have long been going on.
Neither is it likely that examina

Mrs. E. Finch, 251 Silverbirch Ave.,

sigh and turned her head aside, glanc
ing down to where with' one small
shoe she was restlessly tapping the
floor of the cab. They were both sil
ent for some moments.
“Don’t yon trust me?” she asked,
suddenly. “Or don’t you think I am
clever enough to share your confi
dence?”
“I both trust yon and respect your
intelligence,” he answered, quietly.
“If I withhold onything from you, I
am prompted by a very different mo
tive fro mthe one you suggest.”
She did not answer him, but stared
abstractedly out of the cab window;
and Harley did not break this silence,
much as he would have liked to do so.
He was mentally reviewing his labors
of the preceding day when, in the
character of a Colonial visitor with
much time on his hands, he had
haunted the Savoy for hours in the
hope of obtaining a glimpse of Ormuz
Khan. His vigil bad been fruitless.
“Here we are,” said Phil Abingdon.
She alighted, and Harley dismissed
the cabman and followde the girl into
Doctor McMurdoch’s house. Here he
made the acpuaintance of Mrs. Mc-
Murdoch, who, as experience had
taught him to anticipate, was as
plump and mery and vivacious as her
husband was lean, gloomy and taci
turn.
“We were yzaiting fq^you, dear;/’
she said wEpn,’:|J^'formality of pre
senting Harley was’ over. “Are you
quite sure that you want to go?”
Phil Abingdon nodded pathetically.
She had raised her veil, and Harley
could see that her eyes
tears. “I should like to
ers, she answered.”
She was staying at
dock’s house, and1
pi-esent in view was that of a visit
to hex* old home, from which the
funeral of Sir Charles Abingdon was
to take place on the morrow, Harley
became suddenly conscious of the fact
that his presence was inopportune.
But Phil Abingdon had her own
views on the matter. She stepped up
beside him and linked her arm in his.
As a result he found himself a few
minutes later entering the hall of the
late Sii' Charles' house,
The first thing that had struck Har
ley on entering the house had been an
overpowering perfume of hyacinths.
Now he saw whence it aose; for, con
spicuous amid the wreaths and cross
es, was an enormous device formed
of hyacinths. Its proportions dwarfed
those of all the others.
“It's wonderful,” said the girl, mov
ing forward and drawing Harley
along with her. She glanced from the
card up tow his face, which was set
in a rather grim expression,
“Ormuz Khan has been so good,”
she said. “He sent his secretary to
see if he could be of any assistance
yesterday, but I certainly had not ex
pected this.”
Presently the party returned to the
neighboring house of the physician.
Almost before they were seated in the
doctor’s drawing room he voiced his
disapproval. “Phil,” he said, ignor
ing a silent appeal from his wife,
“this is, mayhap, no time to speak of
the matter, but I’m xiot glad to see
the hyacinths.”
Mrs. McMurdoch’s glance became
positively beseeching, but the physi
cian ignored it. “As your father’s
oldest friend,” he continued, “I feel
called upon to remark that it isr/t
usual for strangers to thrust their
attentions upon a bereaved family.”
“Oh,”‘ said Phil Abingdon with ani
mation, “do I understand that this is
also your opinion, Mr. aHrley?”
“As a man of the world,” declared
Doctor McMurdoch, gloomily, “it can
not fail to be.” .»
Tears began to trickle down Phil
Abingdon’s cheeks.
“Oh, my dear, my dear!” cried lit
tle Mrs, McMurdoch, running to her
side.
Hut the girl sprang up, escaping
from the encircling arm of the moth
erly old lady. She shook her head
disdainfully, as if to banish teaxs and
weakness, and glanced rapidly arounr

Harley, placing his hat and cane upon

study the report.
“Inspector Wessex rang up, Mr,
Harley, about an hour ago. He said
he would be at the Yard until six,”
“Has he ’ obtained any informa
tion?” asked Paul Harley, wearily,
glancing at his little table clock.
“He said he had had insufficient
time to do much in the matter, but
that there were one or two outstand
ing facts jwhich might interest you.”
“Ah!” murmured Harley.- He took
up the telephone. “City 400,” he said.
. . . “Is that the Commissioner’s

inquire if Detective Inspector Wessex

While awaiting a reply he looked

“Leave the letters, then; I ‘will see

ment later, as his secretary bade him
good-night and went out of the office:
“Hello,” said Harley, speaking into
the mouthpiece. . . . “The inspector
has gone? Perhaps you would ask
him to ring me up in the morning,”
He replaced the receiver on the hook.
Resting his chin in his hands, he
began to read from the typewritten
pages before him. His assistant’s re
port was conceived as follows:

note:
“Obtain interview with Ormuz

Just as he replaced the pencil on
the table, his telephone bell rang. The
caller proved to be his friend, Inspec
tor Wessex.
“Hello, Mr. Hai’ley,” said the in
spector. “I had occasion to return
to the Yard, and they told me you had
rung up. I don’t know why you are
interested in this Ormuz Khan, unless
you want to raise a loan.”
Paul Harfej laughed. “I gather
that he is a man of extensive means,”
he replied, “but hitherto he has re

WALVIS BAY HARBOR
OPENED BY GOVERNOR
New Wharf Will Aid South
West Africa
Walvis Bay.—To the poplrfation of
the South West African Protectorate
(formerly German South West Afri
ca), the opening of the new harbor
of Walvis Bay by the Governor-Gen
eral of South Africa was the occasion
for celebrating an expected reduction
ip the price of all iinported goods.
'“Soft and hard goods, foods and ma
chinery will no longer be imported in
to the Protectorate from the Union
in such quantities, as the merchants
of Swakopmund and Windhoek have
arranged to import direct from Eur
ope, and with the new harbor facili
ties, the liners will now be able to
discharge all types of cargo at "the
new wharf at Walvis Bay.
The new harbor works constitute
a development -of first-class import
ance not merely to the mandated ter
ritory of South West Africa, but, in
some measure to the whole of South
xVfrica and Rhodesia. Walvis Bay
does not form part of the South
Africa Protectorate. Foi- South Afri
ca it is, however, the only natural
outlet and it is being developed now
on an extensive scale.
At present the chief export trade
from Walvis is frozen beef and it is
expected that this industry will now
develop very rapidly. But it is in
imports, too, that the valuo of the
new harbor will be felt, fox’ the new
arrangements will inevitably de
crease the carriage of certain goods
over the railway system from the
Union, and will mean the landing at
Walvis of cargo that would otherwise,
be consigned to Sape Town. Walvis'
will probably never be a second Cape
Town, but there is no reason why,
without adversely affecting the Union
ports, it should not assist consider
ably in a more rapid development of
South West Africa.
In declaring the new harbor open,
the Governor-General, Jlie Earl of
Athlone, said that it was only a few
years ago that Walvis Bay had one
policeman and one store. To-day they
have a fine wharf where ocean-going

The wheat production of the three

While foreign trade for the month

for the corresponding period of last

Total trade fo rthe flve-month period
shows a substantial gain, being $933,-
319,989 as compared with $900,294,379
in the corresponding period of last
year.
The Federal Government reports
an increase of aproximately $9,000,000

Washington Post: There has been

the trouble lies beyond the power of
the executive to remedy, in that it is
due to the unexplained falling off in
the supply of the fish. This may be,
and probably is, due to the seismic j
upheavals which have occurred in the '
North Pacific in recent months, which
some scientific observers assert has ,
caused millions of the fish to die far .
