Publication of Eamonn de Valera's
note shattered reports current Friday
and Saturday that the communication
was .conciliatory in tone and offered
concessions. De Valera said the Sim

peace negotiations thru the medium
of pIenipotentiaries, but only upon
the basis "of government by the con-

ment has ordered infant relief homes
established in all Russian cities to
feed the millions of starving babies In
the eleven famine districts. It is es-

evacuated from the zones where the
parents have been living.
Russia is pinning her chief hope
upon the United States and the Amer
lean relief organization. Already eff
cient assistance is being given in some
quarters by the Americans. Follow
ing the receipt of ten provision trans
ports at Moscow. ten new bakeries
were opened and the bread was given
away free Of charge without even a
bread card. The free distribution
caused the price in the Russian bak-
cries to fail. from 1000. to 1000 rubIes
per pound.
