PARIS, April 10 (By The Asso-
cated Press s).--Dr. Fridtjof Nansen,
head of the commission to feed Russia,
is having difficulty in getting into
touch with Nikolai Lenine, the Rus
sian Bolshcvik Premier, concerning
the revictualling of Russia on condi-
ton that the Bolsheviki cease hostili-
ties.
The wireless services Of the En-
tente countries apparently are not
available, and a messenger will be sent
to Norway to communicate DR.. Nan
sens messages to Moscow. Conse-
not be available for several days.
The French press is showing a
hostile attitude toward the revictual-
ling plan, One paper describes it as
another prlnkipos," and several
charge that it is an attempt by the
Americans to ingratiate themselves to
obtain concessions, and scout the
suggestion of humane, rather than po-
litical, motives.
Although the American peace delega-
ton has repeatedly stated that William
not empowered to negotiate with the
Bolsheviki when they visited Russia
recently, the fact that they were ac-
companied by Captain w. W. Petit,
of the United States army, lent such
official coloring to the party that both
the French and English newspapers
are inclined to regard the delegation
as official and credit the revictualling
plan to their report.
Captain Petit did not remain in
Moscow to continue as liaison officer
between the Bolsheviki and the Amer
lean peace delegation, as reported in
the European press, but is now in
Stockholm. having come out of Russia
