BLOCKADE PROP

Hoover Says End Of Restric.
hon VIII Show Failure
In Soviet Russia.

- rsaponss 70 . request Herbert
8DUvr yesterday gave the following
g<nksment on the raising Of the block
ode against Soviet Russia by the
! q have advocated ever since last
w1ufnr that the blockade on Soviet
Rnnnts should be removed on every
ming except arms and munitions. not
because Il would do the Bolshevik
tyranny In Russia any good. but be-
onuDe i believe the removal Of the
bapckade win take out from under
fhsm one Of their greatest props. For
xhe past year they have laid every
ennure Of Socialism onto the blockade.
zhsy daily and hourly blamed the al
Id blockade for the shortage of food,
oothing and agricultural implements,
ind the misery that has arisen there
from. and they have succeeded in i'm
pressing this upon an ignorant peo-
pie. They have also used 1t as a
stimulus to raise armies under the
eoutention that they are fighting to
ave themselves from starvation.
sxRerfng Not Due to Blockade.
These shortages and this suffer-
ing Is not due to the blockade. but
q due to the total industrial de-
Doralfzation and bankruptcy in
production. which will continue as
bpng as Socialism and the Bolshe-
Vik rule lasts. II the blockade is
opened. the Bolshevik government
must secure. the import of food
and clothing at once and thereby
great suffering will be mitigated.
The acute starvation is in the
larger cities; these will be the areas
sthat must receive imported food.
ne peasants have food enough at
home. But. after a few months.
when they have exhausted the nifty
Gold and securities which they have
rsmatning from the amounts they
have stolen from the banks. then
they win need to export commodi-
ties In exchange for inward goods.
No one IL going to give them credit.
They have no commodities to ex-
port without causing further suf-
fering to their people. They can
not export wheat when the popula-
ton Is hungry, nor cotton or fax
when they are in rags Their i'm
ports will then automatically cease.
ma greatest blom they can receive
zfs to have such an exposure of the
complete foolishness OF their indus
trial system to their people More
over. . lifting Of the blockade will
hIlow tho real truth of the horror
OF Bolshevik rule to come out of
Russia,
MUST Bar Reds Firm o. s.
"One thing that needs to be
guarded against IN the United
States Is that our frontier and port
omcers must redouble their vigor
against the export to US of Bolshe-
svik agents. propaganda and money
for subsidizing criminals to create
revolution.
The Bolsheviki also ought to be
called upon to recogize the frontier
Of Poland and Russia as settled by
the peace conference and to cease
fighting in that zone"

Britons Greet American
Bacon Supply With Joy

London.-England is wearing smiles
at the breakfast table for the first
time in four years. After patient
waiting and heroic endurance. first
class bacon is being received from
the United States. Heretofore a
third-rate product bought by the
government was supplied.
Sufficient stores had accumulated
under the food ministry that it was
possible to forego American pur-
chases. The American bacon mar
ket broke and Britain was able to
stipulate that in all future ship
ments only the best cuts shall be
sent to England. For months peo-
pie have been reducing their bacon
purchases, for poor bacon improperly
stored does not make an exactly
aromatic or tasteful dish.
