for these goods 10 be brought to the cities? Or
is there a food combination that means the
making of riches for few individuals at the
expense Of suffering and DISBURSEMENT Of the
many?
The Food Administration in America is q
great, good thing. It is step in advance, one
which every citizen ought TO aid TO the utmost
degree of cooperation and Endorsement. This
administration, together with the great fore
sight of the American. should eventually save
the situation. But at this time-in America as
in Russia--the greatest rascal OF all is the man
who holds his wares for SO high price that
human health and life pay the toll Of his
greed.
One wonderful thing is the work American
women are doing in the food conservation line.
These women ought to be recognized by the
government as stanch and firm fighters for
liberty and democracy-just as much as are
the men who go to battle
Are they not fighting at home for rational
conditions? They are fighting a monstrous
thing, the habit of people who have lived in
luxury for years, pampering their every appe-
tite, living on the fat Of the land.
To break this habit is a hard struggle. You
may preach economy in many ways, but the
quickest and surest way to reach the people Is
through just such a campaign as the food con-
servation women are carrying on.
The unselfsh desire for the general good
which takes them from house to house and
leads them to give public demonstration in
many places should always be remembered in
America. II is highly impressive TO a for
eigner especially to one who has seen such
conditions as exist in my country American
women are bending every effort to be Of use to
the nation-and in Russia-if she now survives
her national life TO great extent, will be

expected TO find great political freedom here
among the women; expected to find them more
soidly established in public life.
In Russia there has never been question
of a woman being ut TO vote. She has always
been considered as able TO judge in these mat
tiers as is the man. Now the revolution has,
Of course, placed her on an equal political foot
ing with the man.
But here it seems that there has been a doubt
of her fitness 10 vote. Yet the men have per-
mitted the women TO go very far in many
activities. That is a thing | cannot under
stand. Such prejudice in free country
such an oldtime notion-seems impossible Of
comprehension.
Now the women Of New York have gained

for it, This seems a pitiful thing in thi,

twentieth century; yet so it is with one of the
most enlightened peoples of the world! The
keeping back Of women in the political world
is such contradiction of the idea that all men
are born free and equal.
In Russia for years women have worked
shoulder to shoulder to with men for political
freedom. Men feel that women have been
great factor in the advancement of conditions
there. When the revolution came they would
never have thought of Withholding political
freedom from their co-workers.
Naturally / am intensely interested in my
own people in America. l regret so much that
they settle in colonies. They cling too closely
TO their Old World customs, and it hampers
them They are in America; they are in
great land where splendid opportunity is
offered, and they should come forward and
meet the American half way.
The foreigner who settles down in his own
little corner, refuses 10 learn English, refuses
10 meet to the best Of his ability conditions
that are new, does not deserve his opportuni-
ties.
II is difficult for them to go TO night school
after a hard day of work; it is hard for those
who have grown old in another country to
try 10 read English print; but they ought to
make the effort. Every time | speak with
them | try to impress this on their minds.
by no means am 1 iindng fault with the
methods of Americans regarding foreigners. I
think that wonderful things are being accom-
plished, but believe they DO not yet under
stand one another and that it will be long
time before they do.
1t is absolutely necessary for my people to
come forward in this country and endeavor
to get the American point Of view. When they
do, they will obtain a certain freedom Of idea
that will be greatly beneficial not only to them
but to the country. They must get rid of their
old superstitions, their old fears. They must
realize that they are living in the most kindly
community in the world; that they are no
longer ground down by despotsm.
But they must learn not TO abuse this free
dom--for in such ways they are but children.
That is where the American who will give
some attention TO the foreigners of his COM
munity can do much for his country. IL is q
matter of education with the Russians here.
and no one can give them this but your own
people. When the American realizes fully
what the foreigner means to this country, he
Will be anxious 10 give him-not charity, not
money, but far more precious thing-enlight-
enment.
