MOSCOW ELECTIONS.
5 PER CENT. OF ELECTORATE DID NOT VOTE.
Moscow, Feb. 1. The result of the Soviet elec-! tions in Moscow, now published, show that the percentage of the poll has increased this time from 70 to 35 per cent. There were elected over 2,500 delegates, of; whom roughly two-thirds are Com- munists. Twenty-five per cent. of the elected are women. During the hlection period it is intimated that 84,000 workers joined the Communist Party!
Parasite Concerns. The increased popularity of gift schemes has also resulted in a parasite growth of coupon con- cerns, which appear to be able to make a profit at the expense of manufacturer and consumer alike.
for Clearing houses
coupons exist in various parts of London [and provincial cities, where it is possible to obtain them by tens of thousands. As a result, the coupon has become a kind of low- value currency,, and it is also stated that large numbers of forg-|
circulation. ed coupons have been put into
a nature of a temptation, and the traffic in coupons and vouchers tended to bring temptation to numbers of people who thought they could win prizes if they could get hold of coupons, licitly or illicitly.
