TREDNONS IN BRNMN OFFER TERMS m sown GOVERNMENT 7’ A despatch from London says:â€" British creditors of Russia now have but forward a counter-proposition in reply to the proposal of the Soviet Government for a settlement of their claims. This alternative scheme lbandons their demand for the return: of confiscated and ruined property, but they are willing to accept compen-E ‘éatian in the shape of concessions, and offer to form a number of comâ€"1 panics, one representing each branch of industry, to work these concessions. They agree to supply the working capital needed and to allow a certain imount of control by the Soviets, and articipation in the profits, under the allowing conditions: 1.

This scheme is now under considâ€" eration by the Soviet delegates, but is said to have little chance of accep- tance unless materially altered. The Soviet attitude, not disclosed until now, is that the Russian Government is willing to pay individuals who have sufi’ered losses as a direct result of Soviet legislation. For instance, it will pay for property requisitioned, nationalized, etc., but not for property destroyed in the revolution or aban- doned by persons who left Russia be- cause of the revolution. It also refuses to recognize claims for compensation for loss of employ- ment or illness due to the rigors of the revolution. Such exceptions, if recognized, would reduce the claims about 50 per cent. The British, on their side, are con- centrating rather on the political than the economic side of the confer- ence. They are demanding that Rus- sia cease its diplomatic representation in Afghanistan, which they feel is directed solely against India; disband the school of Oriental propaganda in Turkestan, and cease propaganda in Persia. The British are also said to be trying to buy the East China Rail- way from the Russians. There is a complication about this, as, while the railway is Russian property, it is heavily mortgaged to French bond- holders, and an effort by Russia to sell the East China Railway recently failed on this account. gaI., $2.50; per S-gal. tin, $2.40 per gal; maple sugar, 1b., 25 to 26c.

BIG POWER PROGRAM OF EASTERN STATES The lines of the four great elec- trical corporations in the East, the Boston-Edison Co., the New England Power Co. and the Adirondack Power and Light Corp. and the Niagara, Lockport & Ontario Co, will be util- ized on the 500 miles between Boston and Niagara Falls, making Niagara energy available to the east and north, and joining it'with the hydro- electric development in the Adiron- dack Mountains and the New Eng- land steam plants. The tie-in between the New Eng- land Power Co. and the Adirondack Power and Light Corp. took place over a 110,000â€"volt line extending from Schenectady to the New York- Massachusetts boundary via. Albany. This is the first power line in the East to carry an operating load in excess of 80,000 volts.

Long underslung springs, deeper seats and greater body length have resulted in an unusual degree of riding ease. The body is exceptionally trim and graceful. Swung low to the road, with long, straight hood-and-cowl effect and tasteful appointments, the car reveals new value and sound workmanship in every detail. The engineâ€"which remains essen- tially the sameâ€"needs no eulogy. It has proved its power and econ- omy to nearly a million owners. fitted with highly sensitive micro- phones.
