ENGLAND LOST
THRU BREAK
WITH SOVIETS
MOSCOW, Nov. 2 (by Associated
Press.)—England by breaking oft
negotiations with Leo Kameneff. the
former Russian trade commissioner
in London, has lost an opportunity
to play the leading role in world
politics, says Karl Radek, radical
leader.
“The political sceptre has fallen
from the hands of Lloyd George,
from the hands of England,” he as
serts in an article in the Isvestia.
“Trade negotiations with Soviet
Russia would have represented for
England a victory over French and
American imperialism—over French
imperialism because French credit
ors would have been obliged to al
low the gold which the French capi
talists consider their property to
pass into English coffers, over
American imperialism because the
English government would receive
supplies and raw materials not
under the control of American
monopolies.
to realize this victory it was
necessary to establish political peace
with Soviet Russia.
“The breaking off of diplomatic
negotiations means that the political
initiative passes into the bands of
France which is openly supporting
Wrangel,” Radek continued. “Sim
ultaneously (he Republican party of
the United States and its presiden
tial candidate, Harding, have de
clared in favor of the recognition of
Soviet Russia, demonstrating that
American capital intends to put
England in the second place by be
ginning trade relations with Rus
sia and cutting off England’s only
non-American source of oil supply.”
Radek concludes the article by
saying that the action of the British
government was induced not so
much by the defeats of the red army
as by the victories of the Commun
ist idea" in London and Warsaw.
“The English government has con
cluded that we are too strong to be
further strengthened by official rec
ognition and diplomatic pourparlers
and it is too weak to tolerate in
London political reprsentatives of
Soviet Russia,” he added.
“The voice of Soviet Russia lias
been stifled in London but it will be
heard not only in London but among
the millions of workers in the
East.”

TUNNEL UNDER
HUDSON RIVER
IS COMMENCED
NEW YORK, Nov. 2 (by Associat
ed Press.)—Construction of a ve
hicular tunnel under the Hudson
river between New York and Jer
sey City, has been commenced and
engineers expect to complete the
structure by 1924. The cost, esti
mated at $29,000,000, is to be borne
equally by the two states. Shore
works, including shafts and ap
proaches, will require 18 months to
construct, after which actual work
of boring under the river is to be
gin.
Continued congestion at the fer
ries between New York and New
Jersey prompts the belief of tunnel
engineers that 5,600,000 motor and
horse-drawn conveyances will use
the tube in 1924, with traffic show
ing a steady increase, reaching an
annual figure of 22,000,000 vehicles
by 1943. Tolls based on the ferry
rates will be levied for 20 years to
pay for the tube, and then it would
be free for the use of all.
Four driveways, two in each di
rection, will be provided. A side
walk, two feet in width, also is
planned. The tunnel, comprising
twin cast-iron tubes each with an
external diameter of 29 feet, will
be six feet wider than the Pennsyl
vania railroad tubes under the Hud
son east rivers.
Traffic blockades, now common on
ferries, would be precluded by pro
viding at each end of the tube der
rick, equipped trucks to take stalled
automobiles in tow. Three drive
ways in each direction will be furn
ished on the approaches, because
slight inclines there are expected to
slow down the movement of the ve
hicular queues.
Ventilation to rid the tunnel of
carbon monoxide gases from automo
bile exhausts will be furinshed by
four large shafts and also by an air
.duct under the roadway and an ex
haust above. Smoky vehicles circu
late poisonous gas freely in closed
places but chemists working on the
tunnel ventilation system estimate
that at the highest point of satura
tion there will be only 3% parts of
carbon monoxide to 10,000 parts of
air in the tube. It requires 8 parts
of the gas to 10,000 parts of air
they figured, to give a man a head
ache.
INDIANS REFUSE TO ACT
AS MOVIE “SUPERS” FOR
LESS THAN UNION SCALE
GREAT' FALLS, Mont., Nov. 2
(by Associated Press.)—Blackfoot In
dians o£ Montana recently refused to
fight as “supers” for a moving pic
ture for less than union pay. As
a result, a California picture com
pany, which wanted the Indians to
appear before the camera, moved on
to the Crow Reservation of eastern
Montant where is was thought In
dians could he obtained for lower
pay.
Sixty principals and a trainload of
equipment were brought to Brown
ing, Mont., by the California people
and crack riders came from Great
Falls, Havre, Fort Benton and other
points to dash befort the clicking
camera as cavalrymen, pioneers, and
other characters of the picture,
which was to toll a story of Indian
fighting in the early days.
Word was sent to the Flatheads,
Boy Chippewas, North Pigeans. and
Bloods of Canada, all Indian tribes,
that 1,500 Indians were wanted.
When the Indians were told they
were' to get half the pay the white
men received, they refused, almost
unanimously to appear.
