GORKY DECLARES
IS MILLION ARR:
TOLL Of ANIME

Stockholm, Dec. 9-Maxim Gorky,
Russian novelist and formerly head
of the Russian relief commission,
told the Associated Press correspon-
dent when he passed through this
city on his way to Berlin that he be-
lieved the deaths from starvation in
Russia would aggregate 35,0O0,000.
He heartily praised the support
which the American people were CIV
ing to the starving people of Russia
but said the only way out of the SER
ious situation would be through the
establishment of international relief
founded on the American plan, broad,
efficient, complete and well controlled
He doubted, however, whether the
necessary relief would arrive. in time
to avert disaster.
He expressed the opinion that Mr..
Hoover's relief was somewhat imper-
feet and lacked organization, because
sufficient safeguards were not taken
to prevent the stealing of the food
by gangs or Soviet officials, from the
time the commodities arrived in Pc
trograd until they are consumed.
M. Gorky said Mr.. Hoover had
placed too much confidence in the So
Wet.
He deplored the passivity of
France and excused Germany for
not coming to the support of Russia.
Sweden's contribution to the famine
he thought was but drop in the
ocean.
On the question of Russian inter-
Tor politics, Gorky said unrest is as
common as dinner is here, but nobo-
dy takes any notice. Quite recently
there was a fierce riot in Petrograd
which was only quelled after much
bloodshed."
