RUSSIAN INDUSTRY IS
SLIPPING
INDUSTRIAL KEADS IN GEGu?
Mo Mention la Mado of America, But
German-British Powers Wants to
Bring Future Trade Through ,
Their Channels
Berlin. What in many Quarters
Is looked upon as the foundation
stone upon which the political
superstructure of a future ' German-British-Russian
entente may rise has
been laid.
The fact that it has not' been at
tended with high-sounding speeches
and that there has been no public
j ronunciamento In no wise lessens
the world Importance of the event for
the pregnancy of Us political and eco
nomic possibilities.
The largest and most powerful in
dustrial and financial groups of Ger
many and Great Britain, I am reliab
ly informed, have concluded what is
tantamount to an "economic entente
tor the exploltotlon of Russia.
Hugo Stinnes, Germany's most
powerful captain of Industry heads
the German group. Long drawn out
negotiations between the British and
German Interests finally came to a
successful conclusion.
, The final touches were put to the
Agreement In London. The trade en
tente between the two until every re
cently enemy countries for the "open
ing of Russian trade and commerce"
was negotiated by private Industrial
.Croups, but those groups are so close
ly allied to their reepeotlve govern
ments that the arrangement. In ef
fect at least, constitutes an economic
entente within defined lines between
Great Britain and Germany.
Both governments were fully advis
ed at all stages of the negotiations
and assisted irflhem in fact, without
governmental approval the agreement
could not have been reached. How
ever, both the British and German
cabinets are left In a position to deny
that there was any official action
should such denial become necessary
or advisable.
The aim of this trade entente be
tween the formerly bitter enemies is
to dominate the coming trade with
Russia insofar as that may be possible
and to co-operate a long speqifled di
rective lines in assisting in recon
struction and reoganization in de
veloping trade and concessions.
The parties aim especially to work
together in the matter of granting
credits and agreement oh payments to
be made. In brief, they aim to get a
strangle hpld on the lion's share of
the vast natural resources and com
merce of that vast empire.

More Notes Are to Follow; Sessions
Are Reported As Huerta Hurries
to Meet His Absent Heads
Mexico City, The American state
department is now in possession of
the first communication of a possible
series of communications from Presi
dent Obregon relative to the memor
andum handed the president ten days
ago by Goorge T. Summerlln, the
American charge d'affaires, relative
to recognition of the Mexican gov
ernment, according to the Information
obtained.
President Obregon's communication
which is understood to have been
transmitted by Mr. Summerlln Is not
a definite answer to the American
memorandum in that It neither re
jects nor accepts the idea of written
assurances for the protection of Am
erican property and lives In Mexico,
U. 8. to Determine PoJIcy
It was said that the communication
probably might be regarded aa a fur
ther "exchange of impressions on in
ternatlonal matters," which was the
way President Obregon described his
recent conference with Mr. Summer
lln. Whether this exchange of Im
pressions will continue Is believed to
be contingent uppn the attitude taken
by the American state department
Conference Is Called
Secretary of the Interior, Callos,
who has been absent from Mexico
City for several weeks is said to bo
hurrying to the capital from Sonora
to take part In a council of ministers
which President Obregon is under
stood to have called for a discussion
of matters regarding recognition.
Adofo de la Hureta, ecretary of the
treasury, who left Mexico City in the
middle of May for a month's rest at
his home in Sonora probably will not

ASKS REPORT Ofl
S1SLATETALK
INTRODUCED 13 EOTH HOUSES
THE DISMISSAL OF ADMIR
AL SIMS IS SOUGHT BY
SOME
Members Demand That Inquiry Be
Made at Once As to the Speech
the Admiral Made Before an .
Engleh Audience
Washington, Possible dismissal of
the United States Navy as the result
Hear Admiral William S. Sims from
of his "Jackass" speech In London
was forenhodowed In both houses of
congress. '
The senate passed a resolution di
recting the naval af'alrs committee to
make a "thorough Investigation of the
pui-ported remarks" of Admiral Sims
and to report to the senate with re
commendations. At the same time Representative
Thomas J. Ryan, republican of New
York, Introduced a resolution In the
house calling for a rigid investiga
tion. In a statement Mr. Ryan said
that he did so "to make sure that
there will be an investigation and that
if Admiral Sims is correctly quoted
he will be punished."
Case Not Pigeonholed
"I want to be sure that the senate
aaval committee does not pigeonhole
the senate investigation," aaid Mr.
Ryan. "That committee is noted" for
doing that."
Senate leaders freely stated that
if the published accounts of the admi
ral's speech are substantiated the
grave" impropriety of It will call for
his Immediate dismissal or drastic
disciplinary action at least
- The resolution authorizing the sena
torial Investigation of Admiral Sims
conduct was Introduced by Senator
Pat Harrison, deflTocrat of Missis
sippi. It was adopted without a
single objection, although Senator
Wadsworth, republican of New York
took occasion to point out that Secre
tary of the Navy Denby already had
undertaken to conduct a slmillar in
quiry. ' Senatorial Ire Aroused
The Senators' Indignation notice
ably had Increased after overnight
contemplation of the naval officer's
open characterization of them as
"Jackasses." The fact that the offi
cer Is president of the naval war col
lege and the speech was made in a
foreign land, under whose flag the
officer was born, added to the gravi
ty of the offense. The senators have
well In mind, too, that this Is Admir
al Sim's second offense and the nav
al regulations forbid an officer to
criticise the members of another de
partment of the government.
After the resolution had been ad
opted Senator Harrison said:
"Admiral Sims' address also was
discussed at a. meeting of the foreign
relations committee when it began
the consideration of the Lafollette
and Norrls resolutions for the recog
nitnin of the Irish republic. These
measures are In the category which
the admiral adlvsed the British to Ig
nore a3 'forced by jackass votes."
