NEW YORK. April 16.-Most of us
think of the Russia today as
snow-covered waste in which one
portion of the population is slowly
starving to death. while the males
OF the other portion are killing each
other amid shrieks OF delight. Lud-

so.
There have been no deaths from
starvation in Russia" said he. There
is not enough food in certain centers
-Petrograd. for example. But that
is because the railroads are not func-
tioning properly. The peasants have
plenty of food.
Come they say to US. We will
give you food But we cannot trans
port it,"
And about the massacres in the
Streets"
There is perfect order in soviet
Russia" said he. "Of course. in that

going on-wel, precisely the same
sort of things are happening there
that always happen in country a.
