GRAIN FROM HUNGRY
 TO FEED STARVING
(Continued from First Page).

farmers to harvest the grain, and they must be able to remain where there is grain to be harvested. This they cannot do without food. At the rate
 of about 12 ounces of bread daily to a person., Russia will require 1,260,-
 900 tons of grain to cover the ten months from the first of October to the next harvest. Of this amount,
 Russia can furnish only about 25 per
 cent, which will leave a shortage of about 945,O0 tons.
 If we do gamble on the hope of
 outside aid, and use up the food supply for seed, the famine may
 slaughter during the coming winter
 not only those now suffering from
 hunger, but also those whose grain
 must be taken for seeding. With
 some 250 shiploads of five thousand
 tons each this whole problem can be
 solved and that is our problem in a
 nutshell"
 No Engines Available. In reply to an inquiry as to the bility of the soviet government to transport grain to the famine dis tricts if it was available M. kamen- eff said:
 We have plenty of box cars, but are without locomotives. so we can do little to move supplies" The former Russian government he continued "ordered some 800 To- com otives in the United States and l we believe most of them are still 1 there. We have tried to secure | them. but have been unsuccessful | If these could be obtained it would solve half the problem. Of course l hat is business not charity. We are immensely gratful for Americas gen. l erous offer to help for our starving | children, but for the regeneration o1 | Russia we expect to pay our way l Our handicap hitherto has been that | we could not buy"
