EXTREMISTS OF
FRANCE ACTIVE
m
Arrival of First Soviet
Ambassador Is Signal
for Communists
(By The Associated Press.)
PARIS Dec. 4.—The French extrem-
ists seized upon the arrival in Paris
today of Leonid Krass'.n. the first soviet
ambassador to France as the occasion
for inaugurating an intensified cam-
paign for communism in this country.
The demonstrators started by giving
the Moscow representative such a re-
ception as no other ambassador ever
received in Paris and followed it up
immediately with the announcement
that “the world revolution has reached
Paris" and that “the French revolu-
tionists will now show they are able
to do quite as well As the Russian
comrades."
The police who had allowed the
i manffestation to proceed without inter-
j ference intervened after Communist
Deputy Jacques Doriot had hurled these
words from the balcony of the com-
munists' headquarters to a column of
some 3000 enthusiasts who were fol-
lowing Krassin’s motor car from the
railway station to the embassy. The
police out the procession in two amt
ended the demonstration which had be-
gun to take on a threatening aspect.
Palestine Looks Ahead
To Railroad Progress
JERUSALEM. Dec. 4.—In few ways
has the English administration lent it-
self more to the economic development
of the Holy Land than by the develop-
ment of its railway system. With a
standard gauge line from Egypt through
Gaza and Lud in the coastal plain to
Haifa at the foot of Mount Carmel
one of the chief seaports and another
from the port cf Jaffa crossing this
one at Lud to Jerusalem the chief
economic centers are well connected
with Egypt and the outside world. The
Haifa-Damascus road and several short
bianch linos make host of the country
accessible by rail.

the cattle and grain all the cotton and i
wool all cloth and steel all the

advantage to us unless they contribute
a more abundant life to those who
produce them. Prosperity cannot be di-
vorced from humanity.
Distress on the Farm
“Fortunately our population has not
suffered from any shortage of food in
this country. But there has been a
great dial of distiess endured by the
people on the farm. The commercial
and industrial side of our nation has
been giving too much thought to wheat
and hogs and corn to their transpor-
tation and to their prices and not
enough thought to the men and women
who are engaged in agriculture to
their Avelfare and to their prosperity.
W must look beyond the quotations of
the market place and see what prices
we are proposing to p-ay. what rewards
we are proposing to confer in exchange
for the hard working lives cf our open
country. Do you Avish to maintain a
system which will contribut both to
their welfare and to your own. or to
permit even unintentionally methods
of doing business under which their
want and distress will ultimately re-
'■Mr » jl
suit in the failure of your own success
and prosperity?
“This same principle applies to the
relationship among the different na-
tions. We .cannot expect in the long
couise of events to maintain our
country on a permanent hvel of gen-
eral well being far above that of other
pet pies. Even if we could hope to ac-
complish it it would bring us little
satistactifn if our prosperity must b?
gained and htld at the cost of suffering
of others. In the long couise of af-
fairs and in a worl.' Vhich has be-
come little mcie than a great neighbor.
hooJ our common s-nse must tell us.
if our self interest did not that our
prosperity our advancement our por-
tion cf good fortune must largely de-
pend upon the share that shall be al-
lcted to our neighbors. .
Would Not Sacrifice Our Prosperity j
“I would no thave you mistake my
meaning. I should never advocate the
sacrifice of any part of our prosperity
because of the va.n hope that following
indiscriminate impulses of kindhnes j
we might help some who are in worse
condition than ourselves. Nor would I
sacrfice our independence and freedom
of action. I do not believe we are
strong enough or that any people ever
was strong enough to accomplish any
permanent good in the world through
the indiscriminations of mere unorgan-
ized undirected generosity. Wre can
only help those who will help them-
selves. * * * I
"It is our fortune and our privilege
that in the present exigency we are in
a position to take a part of great help-
fulness and leadership and we shall
best serve ourselves and help others if
we direct our efforts' to raising in the
broadest way the standards of human
welfare everywhere. We must seek to
find and to play a part whereby with-
out destroying ourselves we may help
.others. We cannot hope indefinitely to
maintain our country as a specially
fvaored community an isle of content-
ment lifted above the general level of
the average of the standard of human-j
ity. I know there was a time when
many believed this was possible. But
who how can continue clinging to such
a faith in view of the lesson which the
war brought to us? If we could not
avoid involvement in a war whose1
causes were foreign and whose issues
were chiefly alien to us because we had
settled them for ourselves long ago
how can we hope to avo.d our fuii share
of responsibility in connection with
other world problems which if they are
ever to be solved must be solved in an
atmosphere of peace and good will. We
must be constantly ready to help both

wc can no more assure a permanent
and stable peace without cooperation
ameng the nations than we could as-
sure victory in war without allies
among them. We know that the way
to assured and permanent peace is slow
and difficult. We know that no nation
can travel that way alone. We tried
and we failed. It is a way that can
only be traveled in company with oth-
* enually zealous for the same goal.
Among these fellows cf the road there
must oe mutual understanding and mu-
te"' fa»th and confidence.
“It is such thoughts as these. I am
convinced that have been giving in-
spiiation to the American p ople as
they have lately surveyed the state of
the world and sought their proper
place and part it. We have attempt-
ed to perform atrv'ces for the Kuro«
pean nations btcau.se by that means in
h broad way we are seiving ourselves.
We want to §ee them raised up so far
as possible b your own economic tand-

ity an opportunity for larger markets
tor flui own pic luction. We wish to
help them moreover because it is
omy through service that we can de.
velop our individual and national lives.
It is along this course of action that
tve are most likely to contribute to
those conditions which will be most
fitYctivc for maintaining universal
peace and most likely to make the larg-
est contidiution within our power to
the advancement of human welfare.
SHARK’S TEETH OL1)
LONDON Dec. 4.—Shark’s teeth and
fossils believed to belong to a period of
at least 10000 years ago have been
found in a 1400 foot well at Virginia
Water near Windsor. The discovery
bears out the supposition that at one
t'me the British Isles were inundated
and that they were formed by the
changing of the Gulf Stream.
