‘SOVIET MUST BE recognized; BORAHREPEATS World Economic Sanity and Disarmament in Balance, Senator Contends. The mo( persistent advocate In ronrrrse of recognition of Russia is Senator Borah (Rep., Idaho). Many do not understand Borah's reasons for those persistent one-man campaigns. In an Interview with the United Press, he has stated his reasons for the annual recognition resolution he Introduces. BY LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright. 1931, bv United Press) WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.—Chairman William E. Borah of the senate foreign relations committee, who has renewed in the seveAy-second congress his plea for recognition of Soviet Russia, told the United Press today that world economic sanity and solidarity can not be obtained until the Russian problem is settled. He predicted that failure to adjust Russian-American relations would be a factor working at Geneva this winter to defeat the disarmament conference projected under League of Nations influences. Borah believes that if for none other than selfish reasons of trade, the United States should recognize the SovieUUnion. He again has introduced in the senate a resolution favoring recognition. But with a presidential year coming on there is scant prospect that it even will reach the senate floor for debate. Trade Is Rich Prize “I introduced this resolution,” Borah said today, ‘‘because I want in every way I can to keep the subject alive. I do not see how economic sanity and solidarity can be had until this matter of diplomatic recognition is adjusted. “I would like to see everything possible done to capture the vast Russian trade that is inherent in a great nation of 160,000,000 people. It is the greatest undeveloped market we have, greater even in its immediate potentialities than China.” “We can not hope to enlarge our markets in Europe proper to any great extent. But the field of Russia is as yet practically unoccupied, and no country is in so advantageous a position to occupy it and help develop it a6 the United States. So far as Russia is concerned, we need only to cultivate and foster the trade relations between the two countries in order to secure that vast market in the coming years. Disarmament “Impossible” “And, in my judgment, it is entirely impossible to have anything in the nature of real disarmament until the Russian problem is settled. “It is a country with national resources, making it potentially the wealthiest in the world. There is a standing army of 600,000 men. There can be no real disarmament until there is the most amicable relationship between the Soviet Russian government and all other countries. “How can you straighten out the European situation,” Borah continued, “with one-sixth of the world’s surface estranged? It is true that European nations have recognized Soviet Russia, but you can’t get far toward a proper basis of international relations until the United States extends recognition. Scoffs Debt Argument “In the meantime, the unsolved Russian question will be a factor working toward failure of the Geneva disarmament conference.” Borah is contemptuous of the argument that unpaid debts created a real basis for the state department’s Russian attitude. “The czarist and Kerensky debts at the end of the war,” he said, “aggregated $187,000,000. That sum has been increased by accumulating interest. But so far as those debts are concerned, they cpuld be adjusted any day on far more favorable terms than we adjusted the debts owed us by other nations.” Fair Association Elects B<l Times Special CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind..

Following is the explanation of Ripley’s ‘‘Believe It on Not” which appeared in Wednesday’s Times: The Trench of Bayonets—The Trench of Bayonets was consecrated as a war monument by the French government in December, 1920. It commemorates the spot where fifty French soldiers—the remnant of a battalion heroically fighting before Verdun —were entombed by a single German shell in June, 1916. The buried French soldiers still hold their guns on top of which the bayonets project from the soil. George F. Rand of Buffalo made a gift of 500,000 francs for the purpose of erecting a fitting memorial which covers the site of one of the most pathetic mementoes of the World war.

U. S, UTILITY FUNDS PROBE AGAIN FAILURE Federal Commission Balked Second Time in Effort to Trace Checks. B’J United Press WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.—The federal trade commission failed for the second time today to find out what happened to an unexplained fund of $44,100 on the books of the Middle West Utilities Company* largest bolding company of the Insull group. The witnesses in the second effort to discover the disposition of the $44,100 were Oliver E. McCormick, vice-president and treasurer of Middle West, and Mrs. McCormick, who before her marriage was the company’s assistant treasurer. Robert E. Healy, the commission’s chief counsel, asked McCormick about checks bearing McCormick’s endorsement. One w r as for $5,200 and the other for $5,000. They were
