ESaid The stipulation that Americans
or in other ways detained
in Russia be released did not consti-
tute the sum OF his demands. The
American Relief Administration un,
der the auspices of this government
us said several times to have offered
food and other, relief 10 Russia, but
such relief never could be admins
tered because the soviet government
wanted to accept the food and dis
pense it as it saw fit; that is, it
wanted to dispense it to bolster the
strength of sovietism and the red"
armies.
/ Mr., Hoover has no intention of per-
hitting such distortion of human
itarian effort He means to see where
| the food goes and to have it dis
tributed to starving Russians and
not to soviet armies. Therefore, he

be no hesitation on the part of the
soviet officials in negotiating frankly
