1T Is easy to die in Russia"
This is the declaration of NJ. W.
Mamontoff, chemical engineer, who
held high rank with the Soviet Su-
preme Council of National Economy,
until his flight from Russia TO
RevaI.
Mamonton is delivering lectures
before the Reval Russian Neutral
Socialistic Society and is at Reval,
Esthonia.
The people of Moscow are ter
ribly emaciated," says Mamontoff.
The dinner in Soviet dining
saloon consists Of a brown liquid
called soup with a floating skeleton
of 'vabla' (hsh) in it followed by
mush.
Not only the scanty fare but the
constant use of saccharin as a sugar
substitute has made the people thin
and formed ulcers in their stomachs.
Physicians Scarce.
Physicians are scarce and their
fees enormous. II one goes to a
Soviet doctor he must wait five or
six days and by that time either his
THalady cures itself or becomes Sc
rious and perhaps takes his life.
Even simple remedies like cas-
tOF OIL may not be obtained without
a doctors prescription, and then
after six days wait.
Russian hospitals are a horror.
Physicians now operate in rooms
so cold that the incisions they
make in their patients steam in the
cold air.
Death Rate Terrible.
The mortality rate in Russia is
enormous. Burials cannot be held
without a permit. Long lines of
people stand before the offices of
the 'CentrOgrOb' (sanitary burial
committee) all day long awaiting
permission to bury their dead.
1t is not uncommon to see a
son, assisted by his mother, drag
ging sledge with the body of his
father to the burying ground. There
the corpse must be rolled from the
coffin into the grave the survivors

COLBY CALLS FRENCH
REPLY SATISFACTORY

Secretary Colby, when asked for
an expression on the French reply
to the note of the United States con-
corning the Russian-Polish situa-
ton. said;
The note states without reserva-
tion that the French government is
in entire agreement with the princi-
pies set forth in the American note.
1t adopts almost in Identical words
the views of this government re-
garding the Soviet regime in Rus
STA, and declares that France can
have no official relations with a gov
ernment which is resolved to con-
spire against its institutions. whose
diplomats will be instigators of re-
volt and whose spokesmen proclaim
that they will sign contracts with
the intention not to observe them.
French Stand on Poland.
''The French government further
declares without qualification its be-
lief in Polish independence and its
desire for the maintenance of the
territorial integrity of Poland.
Most gratifying is the declara-
tion of the French government of its
desire to help the Russian people
and OF its opposition to the dismem-
berment of Russia.
The response Is a notable decla-
ration from every viewpoint. and
brings to the position taken by the
United States a striking emphasis
and powerful support.
Point of Divergence.
On one point there is a diverg-
ence' not of purpose or objective,
but OF policy. This government has
not recognized, as the French have
done, the authority exercised by
General Wrangel in South Russia
But we are disposed to regard the
declared agreement of France with
the principles of the United States
as OF more significance than any
divergence of policy involved in the
specific action of France in this sin
gle respect.
The Importance of the French
position is that it -iiscloses that the
TWO governments have a common
OBJECTIVE. A divergence as to the
means to be employed for it's at
tainment should not diminish or
qualify the satisfaction arising from
SO complete an accord as to the
main purpose"
