The Russian Famine.

A LTHOUGH recent dispatches have shown that
~ beyond any doubt Soviet authorities realize
II that their government faces perhaps the great
est crisis in its existence and that Russia is threat
ened with one OF the worst famines OF history the
official newspapers of a month ago were expressing
optimism regarding the economic condition OF the
country and the ability OF the Bolshevik government
provide for the feeding of the people The Moscow
PrGvdd, in its Of the opening OF the AlRus-
sian Congress OF Supply Organizations, quotes a
speech by Lenin in which he admitted that the pros
poets of the harvest uncertain and that some
districts from which they hoped to secure food for
the army and the industrial population would them
selves be in need of foodstufs from other sources.
He Immediately added however, that thanks to
full planning on the part of himself and his associates
in the Soviet government, the food crisis would be
successfully met. In some provinces, he said the
crop prospects exceptionally good and by car
ryng out his policy of permitting free trade
among the peasants, he believed that the bases of
successful economic policy would be established and
a close alliance formed between the workers and the
peasants, which would guarantee the ultimate success
OF the Socialist organization.
The EkonomiehfskGyG Zhisn of Petrograd reported
that trade with the peasants under the new regula-
ton progressing favoraby, and that the cooper
atves which have been suppressed during the Soviet
regime have succeeded in efecting reorganization
and have already begun to function.
The Moscow IS1cstid of later date. has published
some exceedingly grave reports regarding cholera in
Russia According to this paper in the early part OF
July there 27.77o cases reported. The epidemic
is most severe in the district of Saratov but great
many cases have been reported all along the principal
railway lines and waterways.

The Baltic Alliance.

The defensive alliance which has recently been

Ithuania, Latva and Eshona is to be regarded not
onI. of Strengthening the friendly rela-

defensive against possible aggression by
either Poland Russia but the forerunner of a
closer union confederation of the Baltic States
1t is reported that under the terms of the proposed
union the three states will maintain their own inde-
pendent governments, but there will be common
foreign and economic policy. 1t is asserted that the
union is directed against any particular state, but
it is not unlikely that it may prove effective in
bringing about settlement Of the long standing dis
pue regarding wilma, which has disturbed the rea-
tions of Poland and Russia as well as of Lithuania

The Panama Dispute.

The refusal of the Argentine government to act
as arbitrator in the boundary dispute between Pan
ANA and Costa Rica has apparently caused the min

the White award set aside by other means. A re-
quest has been made the State Department that the
question of the validity of the White award be referred to
The Hague tribunal under article 38 of The Hague
convention for the pacific settlement of international
disputes TO which both the United States and Panama
are sgnatores. This request is made to the United
States the ground that the attitude of this coun-
try in the dispute has practically eliminated Costa

M. Lausanne Relieves Mind.

THe announcement OF President Harding's pro-
posals for a conference in Washington has
given Stephen Lauzanne. editor of the Paris
Mdfn and recent visitor to the United States with
NJ Vivian, an opportunity express himself not
only on the conference, which he approves, but on
various persons OF whom he disapproves. In article
in the Mdfin which is quoted in cable dispatch to
the New York Times, NJ Lauzanne declares that
France will go to the conference gladly, since it is
not be held in Paris and because Mr.. Wilson will
not be there. Even important than the absence
OF the former President will be the absence Of Messrs
Warburg, Baruch Tumuy and Creel Behind Mr..
Harding the Paris editor finds only men OF honor
and probity-"a Mr.. Hughes, who is the personifca-
ton Of right and uprightness; Harvey, whose pen
has only tenderness when it writes of France;

speeches which would indicate that he believes France
should remain fully armed and should be paid every
cent of the indemnity which she claims
Perhaps the man whom M. Lauzanne hates most
is Mr. Lloyo Gorge, who he considers is the author
of all the misfortunes of France since the armstce.
The French pubict declares that in every conference
which has been held since the peace conference, the
British premier has acted as judge and France has
been forced to surrender claim after another,
while England has given up nothing He rejoices
that the proposed conference will be attended by
different men and that Mr. Lloyd George will be
of those who will appear before the judge. This
conference will be discussing Germany and France
no occasion talk about French imperialism there
will be abundant opportunity for discussion of the
British virtues Of dsntere stedneSs and moderation
which Lloyd George has frequently referred M
Lauzanne advises the British premier to visit Mount
Vernon and mediate at the tomb of the man who
never told a lie.
As for disarmament the editor of the Mdfin as
serts that there is question Of dsarming France;
there is only the question of naval disarmament He
believes that Americans understand that France must
maintain her army against Germany and Boshevsm
preserve order in the world but that they do not
know why England and Japan must maintain their
fleets.
writer in the Italian Resto del CdyIina asserts that
the war which Greece is wagng in Asia Minor against
the Turkish Natonalists is not a resumption of the
war which ended with the peace tESaty but rather
attempt to put into effect the decisions of the Paris
peace conference He says that after Italy had with
drawn from the supreme council at Paris Wilson,
Cemenceau and Lloyd George asked Venizelos to
occupy Smyrna Since then the treaty Of SevreS has
awarded Smyrna to Greece, and therefore, in spite
OF the fact that the allies have asked the Greeks to
