Russia's Plight Serious,

ROME, Oct. 7.-Condltions in Russia
arc shown TO be very serious in re-

the Confederation Of Labor This re-
port was compiled by Socialist mis-
sion which left here some time ago for
Russia and which spent some time
there.
The Russian people, it says, are com
plctclE lacking in experience in poll
ties. Tho physical condition of the
people in town is at low ebb owing to
insufficient noUrishment, while eco
nomic life is marked by dcsttuton.
The management Of industries, which
has been placed directly in the hands
Of workers, is declared to have been
disastrous. Productive organizations
have become almost entirely inactive
and the whole country, with the oxcep-
tion OF few localities, has not sue
ceedcd in rousing itself from lassitude
The war it is asserted, has occupied
most Of The energies Of the Bolshevik
government, but, judging from what
httle it tried TO do toward the economic
recon strucrion Of the country, i is
extremely doubtful, tho report says,
whether Russia, abandoned as she is TO
her own resources. can recover herself

Soviet regime is nearing its end, for,
despite the gravity of economic condi-
tions, certain gains of the revolution
have been consolidated.
