TRADE is NATIONALIZED

1.-THE second consideration relates to
the control which the bolsheviki exercise
over the distribution of necessities All
foreign trade has been Mathematical
Thsi means that there can be no dealing
Moreover since the fall of 1918 the boil
shevih have maintained a system of dis
elimination in the distribution of food
The population is divided into categories
along occupational and class lines, and
receives food, so far as food may be
available, in accordance with a scale
which is adjusted with a view to the
maintenance of the bolsheviki in power
and the fulfillment of their programme
for the extinction of the middle classes.
The rationS given to members of the Red
army is estimated in the official boil
shevk Gazette of February g. 1918 to be
three times the average for the several
categories of the civil population. 1t has
seemed altogether inadmissibe that food
and other necessities of American origin
should be allowed to become the means
of sustaining such programme of polit-
| ical oppression.
THE government has not been unmind-
full of the material distress of many in
nocent people within the bolshevik lines,
An attempt was made last spring to
provide for the release of these people
through the cooperation of a neutral
commission to be headed by DR.. Nansen
The project failed because the bolshe-
wiki declined to agree to the cessation of
hostilities which was considered an in
dispensible prequisite. The department
of state has subsequently studied other
means by which necessities might be pro-
vided for the people of central Russia
without being used for purposes of po-
litical constraint and also class decep-
ton.

NO SOLUTION FOUND

mo feasible project has yet been found,
but the problem continues to receive at
tention.
In the meantime provision has been
made for the immediate relief of the peo-
pie in any areas which may be freed
from bolsheviki control as a result of
current military operations.
Stores of food estimated to be adequate
for the relief of Petrograd for nearly inc
month were delivered to Russians by the
American Relief association and are now
at Viborg, Finland. whence they can be
transported to Petrograd whenever that
city may come under the control of au-
thorities with whom it is possible to
deal. Definite arrangements have. more
over. been made with the United States
grain corporation to provide further ship
ments Of flour for this region, in the
event of it's liberation, and for the peo-
Pile in the north of Russia, which is IN

Washington. November Japan,
replying to a note from the American
government last September, regarding
conditions In Siberia. has expressed
willingness to cooperate with the
American authorities. both military
and civil, in that country. This an
nouncement was made today at the
state department. but the text OF the
Japanese reply was withheld.
What plans were suggested either
by the American or Japanese govern
ment was not disclosed. nor was there
any announcement as to whether the
negotiations had been concluded
The note sent by the United States
to Toxic in September. has never been
made public by the state department,
but dispatches from Toxic a month ago
said the United States had pointed
out that Japanese troops in Siberia had

property of the American railroad en-
gineers and had failed to cooperate
with them In the broad spirit of con-
Quoting the railroad in the interest OF
the Russian people by permitting the
transportation of fooi supplies SO nee
essary to the Russians.
WITHDRAWAL THREATENED
The American note was also said to
have asserted frankly that unless ef-
fective cooperation could be arranged
the United States might feel obliged
to withdraw its troops from Siberia
and that should this course be decided
upon, the American government might
feel compelled to make public the rea-
sons for the withdrawal.
