SEEKS TO LEARN TRUTH
OF RUSSIAN SITUATION
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star: =.
Is 1t possible to get anywhere near
the truth concerning Russia? Recent
visitors and investigators returning
from Russia give US strangely di-
vergent views concerning conditions
in that country. The favorable COM
ment would lead US to believe that
Russia 10. or will be, or ought to be-
II unopposed by capitalistic1 Countries
the utopia promised by the present
would convince US that Russia has
been, is. and will continue to ,.e un-
b der the present rulers. a virulent in
ferno of despond. And then we are
informed that every favorable COM
ment that is given publicity is boil
sheviki propaganda, and that every
criticism emanates from capitalistic
interests What Is the truth con-
cerning Russia?
In The Star of Tuesday, March 81.
appear two articles setting forth the
strangely divergent views Of recent
visitors to Russia. Frank Comes, a
member Of the American Russian Re-
lief Commission, at hearing before
the Senate committee on agriculture
stated that the blame for the present
famine In Russia rests with the pres
ent bolshevikf government. Senator

courage of his convictions to resign
his government position in this in

from the bolsheviki government OF
Russia Senator France and others
might strengthen the bolsaeviki ar

ECONOMY STEPS TAKEN
IN LIQUOR STORAGE
All Seized Goods to Be Removed
From Rented Warehouses to
Army Quarters.

Concentration Of both liquor seized
by prohibition agents. and Of liquor
stored in bond, to effect greater
economy, will be effected as soon as
possible under plans announced yester-
day at prohibition headquarters.
The seized liquors. it was said by
Assistant Prohibition Commissioner
Jones. are to be transferred from
rented warehouses throughout the
country to Army buildings. Mr.. Jones
has Just returned from Chicago, where
he inspected conditions and practi-
cally completed preparations for the
transfer Of millions of gallons of
liquor held by the government in
rented storehouses. In Chicago alone
this saving would amount to about
$1,000 q year, Mr.. Jones said.
Plans for the concentration OF
liquor in bond. stored under SUPER
vision of the government. also are
|rapidly being worked out. Just what
kind of buildings will be used has
not yet been made public, but author
tiles have been comforting with own
efs of the bonded stock. and an
