DAILY EDITION .15 Wednesday, Oct. 5, 1927 LONDON TIMES ON SOVIET DIPLOMACY Soviet diplomatists as this country knows by an experience now happily terminated are altogether unconventional in their methods, says the London Times. They make a show of. conforming to the recognized standards of diplomatic procedure. They attend ceremonial functions, leave cards, entertain abundantly and promis cuously and submit to a number of compromises which, as revolu tionaries, they formerly condemned. No doubt they find this dis play of conformity burdensome, and the revelations made during the Arcos raid showed that, here, at any rate, Soviet diplomatic agents ound an outlet for their repressed Itotural instincts in activities .of a very different kind. M. Christian Rakovsky, who was for a time in charge of the Soviet Diplomatic Mission in this country, is flow Soviet Ambassador in Paris. He is, perhaps, more at' home jn Paris than in London, since he studied at the Sorbonne, and is .more familiar with French men and French ways than he could .possibly have been with the ideas and habits of our misty island. But in Paris, too, conformity to the diplomatic conventions is required, and, unfortunately, M. Rakovsky's chosen vocation is that of a professional revolutionary. A Bulgarian by birth, and at one time a Rumanian by nationality, he found himself most at home Jn that revolutionary movement which culminated in the seizure of power in Russia by the Bolshevists. In 1918 he received high rank in the Bolshevist bureaucracy, and was President of the Ukraine Re public during the period when the Cheka committed its most revolting excesses in the cities of Southern Russia. Later, after some harassing vicissitudes, fresh opportunities came his way. A weary Europe was content to draw a veil over the early period of the Bolshevist RtvoTution, and Rakovsky was received as the accredited .representative of the Soviet Government, first m Great Britain, and afterwards in France. SUCCESS IN FRANCE M. Rakovsky left this country some time before the real char arter of Soviet diplomacy was fully realized by the general public here. In France he proceeded confidently for a while with his task, and achieved such success as was within his power. This summer, However, he felt the need for a certain relaxation. Apparently the ideal holiday for a Soviet diplomatist particularly for a professional revolutionary is to plunge once more into the underworld of trigue and explosive conspiracy in which he is most at home. The outward observance of bourgeois conventions is in the long run a very severe strain. Rakovsky went to Moscow, where he might once more wrangle with his revolutionary comrades, as in former day of exile he had wrangled with them in obscure cafes in Western Europe. There was a dispute in the Communist Party, an exciting and long-drawn-out dispute, in which personalities and dogmas were dramatically involved. ' Trotsky and Zinovieff were in opposition to Stalin and Rykoff. A kind of "modernist" group within the party was on the point of expelling the opposition leaders. The Central Committee of the party was summoned early in August to decide the issue. Rakovsky and other Ambassadors from abroad were there, and, relieved from the tiresome necessity of keeping up pearances, plunged with zest into th vnrtv r:.. which u the outer world was almost unintelligible. Hum . ., i:ui -Mn.r Ambassadors took Trotsky's side and sign. ! ( . ... i.3 the Communist Party. A compromise was reached. Tr -novieff were warned that they had yet another chance t loyalty. And Rakovsky, having refreshed himself in the .atnihar atmosphere of revolutionary dialects, and having made his contribution to the restoration of party unity, returned to France to take a bourgeois cure at Royat the Opposition declaration to which he had attached his signature in Moscow referred to the alleged danger of war against Soviet Russia and contained this passage: All honest proletarians of the capitalist States must actively work for the defeat of their governments. It is the duty of all foreign soldiers who do not wish to support the slave-drivers of their countries to pass into the ranks of the Red Army, for the Union of 'the Soviet Socialist Republics is the fatherland of all the workers, . Whoever is hostile to the defence of the U.S.S.R. is a traitor, to the ca"ne oMhe world proletariat;. FRUITS OF SOVIET ACTIVITIES This singular declaration attracted the attention of the French Government. After all, Rakovsky is Boviet Ambassador in France, ana he is expected to observe the ordinary dinlomatic conventions. For some time past Communist agitation has provoked a number of breaches of discipline among reservists in the French Army and sailors in the French Navy. In connexion with the recent protests against the iecution of Sacco and Vanzetti Communist agitation has again been very conspicuous, and only a fortnight ago serious disorders took place in the streets of Paris. The tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the Arc de Triomphe was profaned, and it has been felt necessary to hold a series of patriotic demonstrations in order to re consecrate, as it were, that splendid symbol of the great sacrifice of France in the war. With this evidence of the fruits of Soviet ac tivities' thrust upon them, the French Government could do no less than protest against the issue of an appeal to open treason over the signature ofthe Soviet Ambassador accredited to France. The So viet Foreign CommiRsar, Tchltcherin, made haste to disavow the de claration signed by Rakovsky. That declaration emanated from the .Communist Opposition. Tchitcherin, it may be assumed, is associated with the governing Stalin group. From that point of view it was easy for him to disavow the appeal with which Rakovsky had chosen to identify himself. But in another sense it is not so easy. Tchit-i cherin is Rakovsky's chief, and in France Rakovsky is representative, not of a faction, but of the Soviet Government. Moreover, this particular passage of the Opposition declaration is not peculiar to tjie 'Opposition. It merely reiterates views and appeals that have been uttered again and again by Soviet leaders .of a(l spades of opinion. It is one of the manifestation of that crazy campaign by which, in the recent "Defence Week" and in the' "trial mobilization" now being carried out, the Soviet Government, for obscure purpose of its own, is terrifying the Russian - pit with the spectre of imminent war. No one, of course, has any intention of making war on Soviet Russia. The Soviet leaders know this, and if they commit the folly of deliberately provoking a war scare which multiplies their own economic difficulties tenfold, it is only possible to assume that there are very serious internal troubles from which they desperately desire to divert attention.

He re- j ceivect a saury oi eso.uuu a year irom Chang Tso-lln. And of late years - he has been on good terms with ldy Luck, an instance of which Is related In regard to Mukden. The secretary oi the world-famous Mukden club was much perplexed be cause he had been unable to sell the last ticket on. the Shanghai Derby. SomeiHie. said, "Oh, put It down to Sutton. He never minds." Tbe secretary did. and In a few days Sutton had won a warter of a million on the race. MKK. HE'S I.l'C'KV Ye Sutton's lucky. He was lucky to get away with tbc loss of one hand In a gun blast that came near elevat lng tbe whole of him. He was lucky In getting the military cross for bravery, even If be did get careless with his life In action. He waa lucky to think of China after the great war, for there la always something dorhg In the adventure line out there. He was certainly lucky to come under the notice cf 'Chang Tso-lln, who holds magni ficent court In the palace at Mukden. He waa tacky to step up from captain to general and to get all the emolu ments of rank and all that. He was. lucky to win the Shanghai sweep stakes for a quarter of a million dol lars. He was lucky to buy a bit of a grey pony called Bengal, which wins all the big races in North China. He was lucky to be built with a prepos sessing figure on a viking frame, with cbesnut hair, blue eyes and time win some ways. So he may be lucky enough to raise tbe money to build the long-talked -of Peace River outlet. In which event. Peace airer will be lucky, too.

Ten other individuals charged with abetting Turatl" escape were tried simultaneously, wtule three other delettdanU are also fugitives. The charge agauvrt Turatl read: "Leaving the country on the evening of December 11, 1026. for political motives without passports or sjnllar legal documents." Tbe escape waa effected on board a motor-boat hired by Toratl'a frtends Turatl landed In Corsica, and thence proceeded to Vranae.

The prosecutor asked for five years' Imprisonment and a 20,000 lire fine for each of the principal defend- i ants. SCOFFS AT IDEA OF ! PSYCHIC LEVITATION AND TOTAL ABSTINENCE (Victoria Tunes) In these days of scientific wonders and speed in everything It does not do to dlsmlH any nw suggestion in a perfunctory way. We never know when what seems fantastic now may be reduced to the. practical realm. But the gentlemen who are taking part in the International Congress for Psychic Research in Paris are telling us a lew tall ones that' almost make us - gasp. One delegate from Germany declared that a medium known to him had raised him :lf in the air without wings thirty,-J live iimes in, xne summer, momns oi 1824 and; on one occasion floated four feet from the point where he rose in the air. Another case dtocusKed by the CongreM was that jot a blind Oerman girl who recovered her sight suddenly in 1914, after a period of religious de. votkm; but since then she Is ssld to have, lived without food or drink. This Is not all. Every Friday, we are told, she sheds tears of blood, while at the same time red spots appear on her sides, her hands and her feet. We ad vise our readers to think seriously before, trying to float without support, while going without food and drink for longer than twelve months we should ttrongly discourage.
