Hoover Tells Why
Russia Will Be Fed
Through Neutrals
Does Not Imply Recognition
of Bolsheviki, He Says;
Nearby Republics Need
Breathing Spell, He Adds

PARIS. April 23-"The favorable re-
ply of the associated governments to
the proposals of DR.. Nansen that neu-
trail commission should be allowed to
undertake the feeding Of the people of
the principal cities in Russia is based
on three conceptions" said Herbert c.
Hoover, the Food Director, to- day "The
iirst IS that in giving permission to
neutral commission to undertake the
humanitarian work it in no way i'm
Plies any negotiations between the AL
hes and the government of Russia, nor
does it imply any approval of their
methods of government.
"Ihe situation in this particular is
very much AKIN to that of the Belgian
Relief Commission, through which the
Allied governments did not make a
recognition Of the German government
of Belgium.
"The second Is that there shall be
complete justice in distribution to all
classes, regardless of all distinctions
and the guarantees OF a strong neutral
commission that this will be the case.
"'The third is that the Bolsheviki are
TO keep themselves within crcum-
scribed area, ceasing all military action
and attempts at invasion,
"Ihe primary reasons for this action
are purely humanitarian. Hundreds of
thousands OF people are dying monthly
from starvation. and beyond this it is
the wish Of the world that lighting and
the killing Of men should eease, Other
reasons have been also brought to hear,

Again, the brunt of this famine in

Labor Leaders Seek
Help of Publishers
In Fighting Radicals

Appeals to American newspaper pub-
hshers to aid in fighting the spread
or ultra radical principles were made
oy the heads of two international
printing trades unions yesterday at
'he annual convention of the Amer
lean Newspaper Publishers Associa-
ton. The days sessions were de-
voted entirely to labor questions, and
by invitation the heads of the four
international unions engaged in the
newspaper printing trade addressed
the convention.
The four union leaders were James
j. Freel, president of the Interna-
tonal Stereotyping and Electrical
Workers Union; William McHueh,
acting president of the Printing Press
men and Assist'Sts Union; John w,
Hays, secretary and treasurer Of the
lnternational Typographical Union,
and Matthew Woll presdent OF the
International Photoengravers Union.
Mr. Metlugh said many members of
local unions had been carried away
by the doctrines OF Rolshevism, but
that all the officers OF the interna-
tiohNi unionH ot the printing trade
realized the fallecy Of such doctrines
and were sttcnuously contesting their
spread, He asked for the cooperation
OF members of the rubl,shcrs' Asso-
citation in combating tho evils of such
principles as were advocated by the
!. W. W.
similar plea was made by Mr. Woll.
who spoke of the value Of the arbtra-
ton agreement between his union and
the association. He said this agree
ment had fully justified itself by keep
ing industrial peace during the trying
days of the war
MIR. Woll asked the cooperation of
the publishers in bringing about salts
factory conditions in their Offices and
in aiding. through the columns of their
papers. the union officers in fighting
extreme radcalsm by refralning from
needless advertising of agitators.
Mr.. Hays discussed the principle of
arbitration. He declared the officers
of his union regarded it as the only
sane method of settling differences He
spoke of the difficulties members Of
his union were experiencing in meeting
the greatly increased cost of living
and asked the association to aid in
relieving the strain caused by the
diminishing purchasing power Of the
dollar.
Mr.. Frcel also discussed arbitration,
lndorsing it as the only just way of
preserving industrial peace.
