slFIR. Nansen, High Commissioner Of the Inter.
- national Committee for Russian RELIEF reported
to his commission that conditions In Russia were
tragic In the famine area 900 900 people are in
desperate straits, with only adequate relief for
100000. DR.. Manson was bitter in his condemna
ton Of European nations for their niggardly and
reluctant assistance He directed the attention OF
the commission, which was meeting in Genoa, to
this and drew the following comparison between
thase countries and America.
DR.. Nausen said, "There can be no more scath:ng
comment on the criminal Indifference of the
European Governments than the simple statement
of what tie American Government is doing The
Americans are going TO feed about 1000 900 people
by sending food and grain and seed, the biggest
contribution Of the kind that has ever been made
(atone time from one country to another"
America has undoubtedly been generous in
extending assistance, and the relief has been given
IN the face Of much popular disapproral, for the
American people are greatly opposed to
tightening the burden Of the soviet government
There was no attempt to launch national popular
subscriptions but II such appeal were to be placed
before the public at this time It would meet with
wider response than even few wesks ago would
have brought forth. The public Is beginning to
realize that there points beyond which animosty
cannot extend, and that millions of more or less
innocent people must not be allowed to perish with
out some show Of concern the part Of civilization
DR.. Nansen's praise Of American generosity is
appreciated but We must remember that this country
is amply able to give this help. Our warehouses
are crammed with food and surplus supplies. 1t Is
not exactly fair to hold generosity against that
of the European countries either who are in great
straits trying to keep their heads above bankruptcy
The Russian situation, according to Nansen is
most terrible His report to his commission was
very pessmistc. Re felt that even should Europe
awaken and give the relief that he desired it would
be too late to distribute it The people would perish
before the foodstuffs reach them. If Nansens
view Is correct millions Of Russians will sta-ve
TO death in tho next few months. Even the most
bitter opponent to Russt.s present government
would not wish such horror to happen. and there
are many who castigated the administration for its
relief action who will nowbo heartily glad that such
relief was given SO quickly and SO generously.

LET THEnGo

HERE will be no objection on the part of the
people II the number of public investigating
bodies; are cut down. 1t makes little difference
whether their reports are completed or not the
results are practically the same. The reform which
such Investigation indicates generally begins with
the investigation.
There should be more discrimination in the
appointing of such Investigating bodies Many such
committees are hastily appointed upon very
temporary hub hub that is merely surface ripple
started by hostile and Injurious propaganda These
committees spend precious hours digging UP facts
and figures and delvlng into actions and motives.
and when their final report is made an Indifferent
public pays little heed to tho findings
Tnere are things which certainly do need
tnyesh gating, and there should be no delay in
appointing men for this purpose wsen the need is
absolute. The entire hantshment of investigation
wonld lead to public wrong and business oppression.
