\ Nation Wrecked

I Il is a sickcning picture Of conditions eS-
L listing in Russia presented in the COM
prchensive survey made by agents of the
Department Of Commerce, conditions out OF
which has come the most appalling famine
in modern times y great empire OF 49,
1000 people has been brought to Il state
of misery almost unparalleled by u group
of madmcn who have seized control Of
nation and reduced ii to ruin
Russia is not only in state of indus
trial collapse, with every productive agency
paralyzed; she Is not only suffering acutey
for want of food 10 keep her millions of
people alive. but has become the prey OF
plague CHASTITY in its ravages and totally
beyond the control of a government main
tanning itself by force and terrorism
Unfortunately. Russia cannot be per-
mitted To perish without producing baleful
effects upon the rest of the world and she
should not be permitted to destroy herself
because her people too impoverished
or unrcsisting TO assert their right to live
and be governed by civilized regime The
rest of the world must go to her relief
whether the task is rclished or not. Food
and medicines must be sent, whether Boil
shcvism is strengthened or weakened
thereby. Humanity demands measures for
the amclioratiom OF this International mis-
fortune, regardless Of the fate OF the Soviet
lunaics, whose criminal vagarics are re-
sponsible for the calamity.
The Department of Commerce statement
does not deal directly with the politics of
the Russian situation. IL is designed
merely TO show how completely Russia has
been wrecked. leaving il to students OF her
affairs to fix the responsibility for the facts
set forth. But there is no escaping the con-
clusion that communism is at the bottom
ia.
Bolshcvism that took control of the desti-
MES of Russia i'll 1917 and almost immc-
diateIy staged the most isgracerul military
surrender in history. IT was Bolshevism
that negotiated the treaty OF Brcst -I.itoysk
taking Russia out OF the war at a time when
the tide had first turned and when America
+ was about to throw her vast resources into
the war against the central powers.
II was Bolsherism that inaugurated i'm
mediately thereafter a reign OF terrorism
seeking 10 exterminate the middle and upper
classes and, by wholesale murder. loot and
conhscation produced condition of chaos
from end TO end Of the country II was
BOlshevism that dissolved the Constituent
Assembly. the only representative BODY in
the nation, and il was Bolshcvism that
sought to set up a 'proletarian dictatorship"
IN every great nation Of the world a move
that arrayed all civilized powers against
Russia and by blockade isolated the most
populous nation of Europe.
THESE are the successive political stcns
toward the downfall OF Russia and now
they have been followed by acts of Provi
dence that have produced famine and dis
ease 10 add to the general economic havoc
wrought by communism run amuck Tho

BROOKLYN GAS RATE
TO BE RAISED SOON
Probably Will Be Advanced to
$3.50, Following Consoli-
dated's Example.
o'BRIEN TO FIGHT JUMP
Company Said to Have Contin-
gent Fund of S13,O0O,O0O
and S5,0OO,OO0 in Claims.

The Brooklyn Union Gas Company,
which supplies Brooklyn and Queens. an
nounced yesterday that the gas rate will
soon be increased probably to $3.50 per
1000 cubic feet. That rate became ef-
fective Yesterday in Manhattan and The
Bronx. which are supplied by the Con-
soldated Gas Company The old rate
was s1.2o.
Corporation Counsel John P. O'Brien
said the increase in Manhattan alone will
cost gas consumers $9,000.000 a year.
He will fight the Brooklyn increase.
Special Master James c. Graham. will
probably file his report on the Brooklyn
company to-day The State then has
twenty days in which to file exception to
the report.
James A. Donnelly, chief of the fran
chise division of the Corporation Coun-
sells Office. said the exception will be
made on the ground that the report is not
warranted by the evidence. He is going
to argue. he declared. that the Brooklyn
Union Gas Company. according to its
books and records still has contingent
fund Of almost s13. 600 and that It's
subsidiaries, the Newtown. Jamaica,
Woodhaven, Richmond and Queens
County and FTatbush gas companies owe
the narent company $5,000,00O.
r.,
he will make to Special Master Graham
report will be that 1t covers only 1919
and ten months of 1920. That is too
short a time to judge operating costs.
he maintains Mr.. Donnelly will ask Tor
q report covering ten or twelve years.
He also said he would point out that
the Brooklyn Union Gas Company Is vir-.
tually an adjunct of the Standard OH
Conpany basng his statement on the
fact that a number of the directors or
the gas company are directors of the
Standard Oil and that the directorate
of the Brooklyn concern meets at 26
Broadway. Mr. Donnelly thinks the
Standard Oil Company is overcharging
the Brooklyn Union for gas oil.
James II. Jourdan, president or the
Brooklyn company, did not name the
amount his company will charge II per-
mitted to increase its rates, but 1t is un-
derstood 1t will follow the example OF
the Consolidated Gas Company, which
filed Yesterday with the Public Service
Commission new $3.50 tariff and
court order continuing the injunction re-
straining the commission from enforcing
the eighty cent statutory rate. Until the
rate is finally adjudicated in the Court
Of Appeals the amount in excess OF
eighty cents per thousand feet Is i'm
pounded for refundlng should the COM
pany lose its case.
The Consolidated Gas Company, ac-
cording to its counsel William l.. Ran
som, is working out a plan which will
put the burden of the new rate on the
small consumer. The price will be de-
creased to s1.25 thousand, but there
will be a monthly tax of sixty cents on
every gas meter.
individual consumers. of which twenty
to thirty per cent burn less than 5000
feet q month. About half these small
consumers are in the 1000 foot class.
They would pay approximately $1.s5
month with the meter tax included.
