voices of those who spoke in the cere-

VINO would not thrill at the sound of
such voices from the past?

greatest singers of the present day. Such

but with the voices of important person

\ RUSSIAN GRAIN PrzzLE

The Soviet government of Russia is
seeking tie continuance of American
famine relief and at the same time pre-
pairing to export its own grain to other
countries. 1t is a situation at once
amusing and perplexing. Colonel Has
kell, in charge of the relief administra-
ton in Russia, is coming to talk the mat
ter over with Secretary Hoover.
The Russian harvest this fall was very
good in some areas. In others it was
very poor. 1t might be expected that
Russia would equalize matters herself
by shipping grain from the sources of
abundance to districts where there is
need, but the government has another
idea. 1t points out that Russia needs
many imports. such as stock, farm tools,
raw materials and factory supplies in
order to rehabilitate her broken indus
tries. The only thing she has with
which to pay is grain. If the United
States win kindly continue to send food
supplies to the hungry peasants. then
the Russians can exchange the fruits of
their own harvest for the needed i'm
ports.
1t is noted that most of the stuff prob
ably would be procured in Germany.
Without the imports, the further coll
lapse of Russia is said to be near
The proposal is at once plausible and
insolent As scheme for getting
American help for Russian and German
rehabilitation, it is craftily simple. |
Whether, considering the expressed |
American disapproval of Soviet policies,
aid from this nation will continue to be
is question.
