RUSS|A'S CHIEF
NEED FROM U. S,
Prince Lvoff Optimistic Over
Republics Future,

PETROGRAD, July 9--A staff cor
respondent OF the Associated Pre-. was
received this morning by Prince Lvoi,
premier and minister OF the interior,
who made a statement for the informa-
ton OF America on conditions at the
Russian front, measures whereby
America can assist IN the struggle
against German domination in,erna-
tlonal and diplomatic problems and the
influence OF the revolution and the
war on world problems.
Prince Lvoff began by declaring his
mistaken oplmstism that notwith-
standing grave difficulties to be faced
Russia is marching toward reconstruc-
ton and stability and the war is de-
yelopng toward victory,
Prelude to Success.

premier, Say that the latest action Of

This is no gradual reconstruction
Of the army but the first stage of a

is almost miraculous, proving in my
judgment. that the troops are infected

Secured Against Hunger.

Among our other economic prob
lens the most vital is food Here
again the central question is transport
and if America helps in this we can do
the rest ourselves as the total stock of
food is sufficient for both the army and
the civilian population. Our winter
crops were very good our spring crops
were injured by drouths, but by the end
ot July we shall know our exact posi-
tion and unle" there is an especially
bad harvest which we have no reason
to expect, We arc absolutely secured
against hunger for the rest OF the year
For next years crops arises the
problem oi an increase in the amount
OF agricultural machinery. and we
should be grateful it America submits
plan to help out in this matter on a
comprehensive scale"

Good and Bad Side.

Naturally | am aware that not
everything can be done by enthusiasm,
| give you frankly the good and the
bad side.
THE good side is the army's supply
of munitions and other necessaries in
which we are markedly better off than
last year, in fact, guaranteed for the
immediate future
"The bad is the transport difficult
ties, which still are serious These arc
an evil heritage from the old regime
and naturally it is impossible to re-
stopr order in three months crowded
with revolutionary activities. Even
with stable political condition, the Gre
alton OF efficient transport is a prob
lem OF years Our great hope of speedy
improvement lies with the Stevens rail

miSsion) from which we expect much.
