which was the kernel OF the Interpolation and
entered a general denial The minister explained
that such action had beer taken where the peas
ants had destroyed the magazines Of grain ac-
cumulated for their relief This action, how
ever was only temporary. and in thousands of
cases assistance had been given 10 families OF
participants in disorders.
The statement that the government was re-
fusing 10 permit the relief Of starving people
by private means. continued the minister, was
based on understanding Free dining rooms
which had been opened in several districts had
indeed been closed, but this was done only
where the GevOluJionists were using them 10
spread their propaganda, and IN the future.
where private assistance was not intended to
cloak other purposes the ministry would well
come II with the greatest favor.
There were no expressions OF disapproval when

four speakers who followed treated him with
the greatest courtesy. though criticising the ac-
