DECADENcE; CAUSE
OF RUSSIAN famine
Mr.. Hoover BIames Decay in
Transportation and De-
crease in Industry.

The food shortage in Russia is due
to general decadence of agriculture,
decay of transportation and decrease
of industry in general of more than
30 per cent of the pre-war output.
according to a summary of conditions
announced last night by Secretary
Hoover.
In a formal statement describing
the economic situation in Russia. Mr..
collapse of productive activities under
the soviet government. The most
acute famine area. he said. Is in the
Folga valley from the Caspian sea
north. The drought there. he added,
would not be so serious were it not
for the reduction in the surplus crops
in other regions and the difficulties,
due to transportation. of moving such
surpluseS as do exist. Mr. Hoover
cited reports. showing the reduction of
acreage under cultivation, varying
from 100 per cent reduction in the
province of Kazan to only IS per cent
in Samara of the acreage cultivated
last spring.
Steady Decline Noted.
Overriding such local situations
there has been a steady decline in
agricultural production Mr.. Hoover
said, ever since the revolution. ow-
ing to the lack of incentive to farm
needs. to the shortage of seed and the
shortage of implements. The urban
population has produced little goods
to offer in exchange and the currency
depreciation through the increase of
currency issues to more than one
thousand billions of rubleS. has rem
deerd their accumulation no attrac-
ton. From these causes Russia, be-
fore even last years harvest, had
declined from a state producing from
six to ten million tons of food for eX-
port to a condition where there was
such an insufficient supply of food for
the cities that the. urban population
has been reduced by about one-half.
Requisitioned for Taxes.
AS Indicating the diminished grain
crop in 1921, Mr.. Hoover cited the
quantities estimated to be reQuisi-
toned for taxes by the soviet gov
ernment, showing for all soviet Rus
sia, except the Ukraine and Turke-
stan. 4,S2O.000 tons of grain. as
against 7.614.OOO requisitioned in
1920. while the potatoes estimated for
requisition totaled 1,OS0,OOO tons, as
compared with 2.016.000 last year,
and 216.000 tons of oil seeds, against
$4,000 in 1920.
Some stimulation to imports, he as
serted, has been given by shipment of
the former bank reserves of gold.
but the total imports from April 1
to May Is were less than per cent
of the pre-war average for the same
period, while exports for April were
one-twentieth of l per cent of the
same pre-war period.
Recent reports. as to instructions
given to foreign agents of the Rus
sian government" Mr.. Hoover con-
cluded. indicate the practical ex-
haustion of gold and consequent re-
duction of foreign purchases"
