Expert Declares Relief to Russia Hopeless; Millions Deemed to Die

Expert Declares Relief to Russia Hopeless; Millions Deemed to Die
 An official of the German govern ment who is an industrial magnate of international reputation and who gained distinction during the war as an organizer, told The Tribute cor respondent today: "It is impossible to save the Russian people from the present famine"
 Because of depletion of the worlds supplies and the breakdown of the Russian transportation sys- tenn, the twenty million starving Russians cannot be reached, even if the necessary supplies could be ob- tained, this German official believes.
 He estimates that two pounds of food daily, or 180 pounds for three months, for each person is necessary in any adequate relief undertaking. The total food that would be needed for the next three months would be 4,O00,000,000 pounds, or 2.000,000 tons.
 The only steamships available for carrying food to Russia, this man says, are craft of 4,000 and 5000 tons. Although the harbors at Archr angel and Petrograd will be ice free for three months more, they have no facilities for unloading and there are no facilities inside of Russia for dis tributing the food to the affected areas.
 The verdict of The Tribune's in- fcrmant is that millions of Russians are doomed to die of starvation.
 The possibility of more satisfac- tory relations with Russia is seen i'll the appeals from Russia for American aid for the starving, to- gether with the reply of Secretary 1 Hoover to the effect that American prisoners in Russia must be freed and cables from Riga indicating that MT. Hoover's proposition may be accepted. Riga dispatches also in- dicate that American correspondents may be invited to enter Russia.
 This is in direct contradiction to the fact that in recent weeks Ameri. cans who have sought access to Russia have encountered great diff. culties. Senator France, of Mary land, who went abroad for the pur. pose of looking into conditions ir Soviet Russia, despite the fact he is we'll disposed toward the Soviet found it almost impossible to gair admission.
 In view of the hostility which the Lenine-Trotzky government has dis played toward Americans entering the country, there is no feeling ot assurance that MT. Hoover's terms will be accepted. If they are ac cepted it will be taken as an indica tion that conditions in the Russian interior are desperate and that tn
 most unbelieved reports of starv ing women and children are authen tic.
 AS understood, the appeals fol

MASS MEETING IS CALLED
 TO NOMINATE COUNCILMEN

The people of Nenana will be giv- en the opportunity tomorrow night to place in nomination candidates for members of Nenana's first regu- lar city council, to be voted upon at the election to be held on the first of November, at which time also will be decided the question of incorporation. The meeting will be held at the Coliseum immediately after the picture show tomorrow night and everyone in town is urged to be on hand in order that there may be representative action.
 The meeting is called by the in corporation committee, which held a conference last night to conclude final arrangements for the selection of candidates and other matters in connection with the forthcoming election.
 This committee has advised The News that everything done by them has been in accordance with instruc- tions given by the district court, which authorized the election, and upon the advice Of Attorney NJ. E.. Stevens, who is helping the commit tee pave the way for incorporation along strictly legal lines, so that there may be no misunderstanding or mistakes.
 The committee has asked The News to point out that the selection of candidates is a most important part of the incorporation proceed ings, for the reason that the first council will have much important work to do and should be composed of men who have the welfare of the town at heart and a sufficient knowledge of business to enable them to give efficient service, with due regard to the economical con- duet of the towns affairs.
 The members of the committee, appointed at public meeting held some time ago, have gone into the matter of incorporation very thoroly and it is their opinion the town should incorporate for the general good of all concerned, to insure a continuance of existing efficient fire protection and the service rendered by the public utilities. The commit tee points out that there need be no expensive municipal government to insure the success of incorporation. The cost of conducting the towns affairs should not be as great as it has been in the past, for the reason that incorporation will bring sources of revenue not now available It will be up to the people of the town to choose candidates for the council who will make it their business to keep expenses down. ...: .:
