the United States, ?) eco rd i ti g to Boris
SokolofT, former professor of biology
in Petrograd University and widely
known ^i3 a Socialist writer, who has
just urived in England.
"There are 240 of the passenger?
of the Soviet ark Huford who werf
nent away from the United States last
December now in Petrograd, and. 23?
of them want to return,' was part ol
Bcrkman's comment on present livin?
conditions in Soviet Russia when !
talked with him in Petrograd a fev
weeks ago," M. SokolofT told the corre
spondent this afternoon.
With Mrs. Kerensky, wife of the for
mer head of the Russian government
and her two children, Sokoloi? left Rut
sia ?aily )n September carrying ;
mandate from the workmen member;
of the Petrograd Soviet "to inform th<
proletariat world about the Soviet

"Within a month I am going to Nev
York, where I have been invited to re
port to the American workers my ob
Bervations," said SokolofT.
"The workmen and peasant masse
have completely withdrawn from th?
Bolsheviki, and serious trouble is ex
pected in Moscow and Petrograd. On
need not mention that there is no com

opinion i? that Russia will soon over

_
j Work on Tentative Draft Tc
Be Completed To-night:
Sharp Clashes at Hearing
The budget committee of the Boar?
of Estimate will complete its worl
on the tentative budget for 1921 to
night. There are still many depart
mental estimates to con: ?(It for cut
?ting purposes, and the tin is all to
| short in the opinion of the member
of the committee. The Board of Edu
j cation budget will como up for con
? ??deration to-day and a big fight i
expected on it. Unless some way i
found to cut down the enormous re
quests of the educational departmen
the tentative budget, is likely to run a
high as $370.000,000 or $380,000,000.
Drastic measures are looki'd for i
dealing with the educational budget, i
order to keep the tentative draft of th
budget down to $345.000,000. the max
mum figure at which Comptroller Crai
has said the city could hope to brin
the T.!_l figures within the tax cor
stitutional limitation. The final buc
get. as adopted October 31, will hav
to be below $300,000,000 to accomplis
this end.
Many Sharp Tilts
The Comptroller literally threw u
his hands at the meeting of the buc
get committee yesterday and de
clared that "we are busted," when mt
tions were carried over his objectio
to reconsider the tentative figures a
ready lixed in the appropriations n
quested for highway materials by th
borough presidents of Manhatta:
Bronx and Brooklyn. It meant puttir
back several hundred thousand dollai
in the tantative budget, but the sun
were allowed. .
This same process of first talking oi
and then putting back requested a]
propriations seemed to prevail at ye
terday's meeting and caused mar
sharp tilts among the Mayor, tl
Comptroller, Aldermanic President I
Guardia and the borough presidents.
The latter are all members of t
budget committee and the Board
Estimate and some of them did n
take kindly to wholesale reductions
their requests for next year. May
Dylan .and Borough President Curr
of Manhattan clashed repeatedly. T
suggestion was made that despite t
face piat the Legislature increased t
salaries of the borough preside!
from $7,500 to $10,000 tiny were r
bound to take it and could v. ;??
forego the increase. A vote was tak
ami a!) the borough president- ? xc<
Borough President Curran voted i
the increase. Mr. Curian declined
vote.
"Why don't you come out in the op
and vote frankly?" shouted the May
; "Why camouflage on this salary ques?
tion ?"
Hoard Kind to Whalcn
The committee whs kind to Commis?
sioner (?rover A. Whalen of the De?
partment of Plant and Structures when
his request for more than $19,000,000,
an increase of $14,000,000, over this
j year, was considered. On the motion
of the Mayor they allowed him a now
' deputy commissioner and various other
items for which he asked.
I he committee, however, had not
; finished with him yi-sterday. and it is
i xpected that a large part of the $14,
000,000 increase will be eliminated to?
day. The general plan of the committee
is to leave the various departments in
status quo, or under existing condi?
tions without the increases asked.
When the budget, estimate of the
Bronx Parkway Commission came up,
Mayoi llylan declared his intention to
vete against the appropriations even
though they bo mandatory. He said
the commission was "getting away with
all kinds of things," and declared they
could go to the Supreme Court and
mandamus the city if they wanted to.
It was finally decided to send back
the requesti for revision. Practically
the entire estimates of the board of
purchase, of which Commissioner
Whalen ix chairman, were allowed,
with the exception of further salary
increases and new positions.

Grey Suggests
Clearer Policy
For Irish Rule
Viscount Wants to See Na?
tion Free to Arrange Own
Affairs Within Certain
Limits Fixed by Britain
Fears Hopeless Situation
Country Will Be Disgrace*!
Unless the Present State
Is Changed, He Says
???
LONDON, Oct. 8 (By The Associated
Press).?Viscount Grey of F?llodon,
I former ambassador to the United
States, to-day published in the West?
minster Gazette another long letter
concerning his ideas for a solution of
I the Irish situation. Tho letter was
partly in answer to criticisms .by for?
mer Premier Asquith and others of his
recent proposals and partly in a npli
fication of them.
"The best 1 can suggest," pays Vis?
count Grey, among other things, "is
to make it clear that the very starl : g
point of our policy is our conviction
of the incapacity of the British Par?
liament to manage purely Irish affairs,
and our determination to put an end
to this tragic failure. And 1 wa ; to
see it clear beyond power of miscon?
ception that within certain limits,
fiankly and honestly stated by us,
Irishmen arc not only free to arrange
their own government but must do so.
"In no other way can I see how to
get the Nationalists and the Ulstermen
to realize that they must take account
of each other's point of view and make
concessions to each other. Protestant
Ulster is quite strong enough to make
her own terms with the rest of ire
land, but so long as we go on allowing
it to be understood that if the Protes?
tant Ulstermen and the rest of Ireland
do not agree we will still be respon?
sible for the internal affairs of Ireland.
They will never agree and one or the
other of them will block in London or
defeat in Ireland whatever scheme of
Irish Home Rule is initiated in the
British Parliament.
"The indiscriminate and cruel re?
prisals, as well as the cruel murders
that provoke them, must be stopped, or
else the bitterness here and in Ireland
v.ii! grow until any sentiment of rec?
onciliation is impossible. But. when
these are stopped there will still be
urgent need for a new departure in
the Irish policy. . . .
"It was said that what t sug
the other day is the counsel of a p?
.\imi_t. The real and worst pessimism
is to hold that a majority of the irish?
men are absolutely unreasonable and
irreconcilable, and that there is noth?
ing for it but a settlement by war and
conflict.
"Continuance of the present ' te
of things may render the present situ?
ation hopeless,-and we shall be dis
graced if we let the present state of
things continue. But we have, I
neither the right? nor the need to re?
gard the whole political situation as
hopeless until we have made a better
effort at u settlement than the present
policy of the government.''
Growing Appreciation of Electrics
More than five hundred firms of this city?five hundred and six to be accurate
?are now using Electric trucks and delivery wagons. F'our hundred and
seventy-five Electrics have been added since the first of the year, approximately
seventy per cent representing repeated orders of satisfied users, the remainder
representing new users
There is an Electric for every purpose, whether trucking, light delivery
or pleasure, and for the congested service of the city it is the cheapest, most
efficient and satisfactory of all available methods of transportation. The sim?
plicity of design and construction makes operation easy and insures a long life.
Some Electrics have been in service more than fifteen years and are still working
