RUSSIANS BADLY
TREATED IN FRANCE
BY Pae. and Int'I News Service.

STOCKHOLM. Dec. 29.-Russian
papers bitterly complain that Russian
subjects living in France. mostly pc,
litical fusitives. wealthy idlers and
students. are treated very badly by
the French authorities. The month.
ly "Golosz Sarubeschnawo Students
chaftwa", the organ Of the Russian
students in foreign countries, says in
its last issue:
THE lot OF the Russian in France
has been very severe since the begin
ming OF the a The students especi.
ally are treated unjustly and even
prosecuted. Since the armies of the
Car suffered their reverses no Rus.
sian is welcome in France and mat
tiers gradually are getting worse.
In some cities the French police au.
thorities are fair enough and refrain
from molesting the Russians who. for
one reason or another, cannot return
home to fight for their country, but i II
other places all Russians have been
and are still bounded like enemies
of France.
The worst cases of persecution are
reported from Toulouse where many
Russians are enrolled as students in
the Electro-Technical Institute. The
batting of the Russian students was
inaugurated by the rea~ctionary paper
"L'Express du Midi" which said in an
editorial: Our city is full of buns
who call themselves Russians. Most
of these strong. healthy young fellows
are not real Russians, but Germans
from the Baltic provinces, or expatriat.
ed revolutionists. They refuse to fight
for their country and insult the French
nation by their unpatriotic behavior
and talk"
This attack caused many acts of mob
violence against the Russian students,
who finally held a public meeting and
passed resolutions demanding a re-
traction of the ISLANDERS of the press.
The paper printed the resolutions but
attacked the Russians again in the
same issue.
When the prosecuted Russians still
refused to leave the college the presi-
dent of the institute demanded that
they submit their military papers and
passports. Those who could not do
so were expelled, but their number
was small. The college authorities
then decided upon another step to
drive the Russian students away. They
suddenly ordered rigid special exami-
nations, with the result that all of
the Russians failed to pass.
Other French colleges and UNIVERSE
ties also harassed the Russian in every
possible way and forced many of them
to give up their studies. The police
authorities mostly acted in the same
hateful manner and expelled Russian
subjects from towns and cities with
out the slightest cause.
Protests to the Russian consuls were
of no avail. These officials seemed
more than anxious to avoid all fric-
ton with the French government. One
of the consuls even went so far as to
write to the project of police of one
of the French provinces: MANY of

relative to autos. One thing neces-

to do so will result in arrest. The

further agreed that the board SHAH

les are 10 secure officials and all OF

lows: Group one, Bedding and lonia,
