rRepubIlcan A. P. Leased wirel

GENEVA, Sept. Exchanges that Bolshevism is responsible for the Russian famine and counter charges that political considerations are the cause of the hesitation on the part of the governments to provide for the feeding of the starving Russians were the outstanding features of a violent debate in the league of nations as- sembly today.
 pr. F'ridtjof Nansen, high com- missioner of the international com mittee for Russian relief. who made the counter charges, was upheld in his efforts, however and a paragraph was introduced into the committee re- port expressing confidence in him and in the prospect of his success. As adopted the committee report leaves the governmental action with reference to Russian relief to be de- cidod by the Brussels conference while appealing to private charity and welfare organizations generally for aid in Russia.
 Dr. Nansen keeping his word that he would carry the fight for an ap- peals by the assembly to the govern ments from the committee to the floor of the assembly repeated his charges that the press was in league with the congregation of falsehood to prevent the success of his work.
 M. Encell of Finland threw the first bombshell into the debate by as- serting that Bolshevik troops had l seized food sent by Finland to res lieve famine sufferers in eastern Karelia. on the Finnish border. He said that refugees in that region had asked Finland to intervene with the powers so, as to be assured relief sen 1 them would reach it's destination.
 For a second time the assembly was shocked when the Jugo- Slav del egate. NJ. Spalaikovitch. introduced z resolution amending the committees report in which he declared thu Russian Soviets were responsible fo the present situation in Russia anC severely condemned their regime.

 The committee probably will under take as a collateral problem. a com prehensive survey of available farm lands in the United States. including arid tracts in the west suitable for irrigation, swamp lands which may be reclaimed bs drainage and cut over timber landt of which there are very extensive tracts in practically every section of the country Cut over lands will be considered both as regards availability and reforesta- ton and cultivation.

 Such is not the case. however. as ! by far the greater part of the billion acres not yet in farms probably can never be used for the growing of ] crops, and that part of the reserve | land which may be regarded as po- i tential farm land can only be so used at heavy expense for clearing, drain 1 age, irrigation or fertilization" Predicting a national population of | 150. 100000 by 1850, the secretary pointed out that the acreage of inn proved farm land per capita has steadily decreased since 1890.
