ly. not hostile, to the Russian people,
although in opposition to German
Ro.shevik forces, Chairman Hitch
cock of the senate foreign relations
committee said in an address today.

Murmansk and Archangel was made
by American and Allied soldiers to
prevent Germany from obtaining val
liable stores, Senator Hitchcock said,
and the Russian people at these ports
were friendly and. remainso.
There is no Russia the senator as
serted. what was Russia is a vast
disorganized aggregation of local gov
ernments.' Except for the great cities,
however he added, Russia is "compar-
atively calm and orderly"
Regarding the American operations

following details:
We sent about 10000 men to Nladi-
vostok the Pacific port, and about
5000 to Archangel, the Arctic port in
European Russia and Murmansk, the
port which leads to the Murman coast
Those landing at Eladivostok are
for the most part still there or in that
neighborEood. Those landing at Arch
/
Murmansk, while still holding those
| ports in connection with the British
and French troops, have penetrated {
! short distance inland. in each cast
probably about 100 miles-as a meas
ure of protection for their bases. II
one case they have gone up a river
| in the other they have held the lin
! of railway-both mans of transporta
ton.
In all cases the occupation of thes
Russian ports was made as a wa
measure urged by the supreme wa
council in Paris at a time when OF
war with Germany was at its height.
The American and Allied operation
at Nladivostok saved stores wort
millions of dollars from German cap
ture but were too late to save thos
at Archangel, Senator Hitchcock tol

pear because of the act of the Spar
tacans in suppressing them has stimu-
lated an over production of runors,
contributing to the general feeling CT
insecurity. The Berlin population to-
day is depending upon the telephone

badly overtaxed.
