FOOD PROBLEM LOOMS
BIGGER IN RUSSIA
Must Not Only Feed Starving,
But Provide Grain for Plant
ing at Once.

BY Associated Press 20 Every Evening
Moscow. Aug. 2T.-Russia's problem
appears to be vastly greater than
the task Of feeding the millions i'm
the famine stricken districts Of the
country. IL would seem to be. rather.
question of conserving the produc-
tive resources OF this district, which
has i'm the past been known as the
granary of Europe"
This was the view taken of the situ-
alton yesterday by Leo KamenefT.
head Of the Russian famine commits
sion, who outlined the work TO be done
OF relief workers here.
In the face of the famine diIem-
ma he said. ''the only thing the Rus
sian government can do Is to gamble
on the hope of outside aid, and taken
the winter store OF food grain from
all farmers throughout Russia and
use II as seed for this falls sowing.
The only way to save Russia from
impending disaster is to take grain
from the hungry and give Ii To the
starving
The amount OF grain needed for
seeding the 1880. 900 acres to be sown
this fall approSimated 2To 900 tons. OF
which Russia could furnish only IG2.-
eco, NJ. kameneff said. This area is
about the same as was planted in this
country in 1920, but is cnly half the
pre-war acreage.
Although seed must be planted by
September Is. IL there is TO be a crop
at all next season" he continued. vt
Is obvious that even then the problen,
viii be unsolved. There must be farm
ers 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 ~ ounces of bread daily TO a
person, Russia win require 1,250. 900
tons of grain 10 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 cas- 900
tons.
IF we do gamble on the hope of
outside aid, and use up the food sun
ply 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 $50 shiploads
OF 5000 tons each this whole prob
lem can be solved and that is our
problem in nutshell.
In reply 10 a query as TO the ability
grateful for Americas offer to help for
port grain to the famine districts il
ii were available, NJ. Kameneff. 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 loco
motives in the United States and we
believe most OF them are still there.
We have tried TO secure them, but
have been unsuccessful. If these
could be obtained it would solve half
the problem. OF course that is busi-
ness not charity. We are immensely
garteful for Americas offer of help for
our starving children, but for the re-
generation of Russia we expect TO
pay our way. Our handicap hitherto
has been that we could not buy"

When some Of the men employed at

Almost no hope remains of enactme mt
in the present session.
Although there is talk of the advo-

have not yet been made. Should the
Senate pass the bill at the eleventh
hour, there is almost no prospect of

Lodge Tuesday, and in which there
was much discussion OF the activity Of
Japan in the Pacific, failed 20 bring
results. Senator Borah and Senator
King. as we'll as other opponents Of
the bill, remained unmoved by Senator
Lodges uttcrances behind closed doors

such concessions will be made BY the
