United States Minister TO China,
who has just returned from a tour
through Russia, during which time
he had the opportunity to study
conditions closely.
Russia. at the present moment,
is at its lowest ebb in both these
respects" he said. There is abso-
lutely no liberty. The people see
very little of their families, and
nothing at all of their friends. The
dictators of Russia have classified
as counter revolutionists all who
did not agree with them. By so
doing they have justified, in their
own eyes. their most hideous acts.
Il saw a stockaded Russia. ruled
by a ruthless autocracy, a land of
terror and hunger. starved bodies
starved minds and starved souls. 1t
is disillusioned country in which
both the peasants and the working
men have awakened from their
dream, and now are aware that
their liberty and their aspirations
have been exploited.
1T is impossible for any civilized
government to have any official re-
lations with Russia while the ter
rorist commission (the Cheka) con-
tinues in power"

on short notice as soon as the rev.

Treasury Department that beer may

make a landing OF Burwood, and
were unable TO report their posi-
