THE EMPIRE
t William Randolph Hearst;, took
occasion in a recent national broad
cast to speak the . “plain .. uncena qr-
ed truth” about Russia. Despite his
earlier views on the great, communis
tic enterprise iri that country, he is
definitely critical today. He describ
edthe Soviet ’governmental expe.ri-
inents as a fearful failure, which was
“only to be expected from putting

GREATEST SEAPORT.
When people think of big British
seaports they instantly call to mind
Liverpool -and, Southampton, there
fore, it may surprise them to learn
that London is Britain’s busiest sea
port by a long. way. •
During the year ended October 31,
the net. tonnage usitig ‘London, was
58,693,242. Liverpool waB a poor
second with 33,605,650, and South
ampton" third ^^--25,267,860..-Then
came Hull with over llyOOO.OOO,; al
though no large liners call there,
being on the east boast, and fifth
place was occupied by Manchester
with over 7,000,000, which is pretty
