SEED GRAIN FOR
RUSSIAN IDEAS hITC

MOSCOW, May 8-Every four
car loads of seed grain, chiefly
wheat, sent to the famine districts
Of Russia, are accompanied by a
car load of corn or other food to
prevent the eating Of the seeds
by the hungry peasants.
In an interview published here
just prior to his departure for the
Genoa conference Leonid KraSsin,
Commissar for Foreign Trade,
said the famine districts were sup
piled with seed grain not only
from the United States but also
from the interior provinces of
Russia, additional seeds being
purchased in Poland, Sweden, the
Baltic states Rumania and Bulga-
ria.
According to krassin the total
amount of seed grain supplied di-
rect by the Commissariat for Fo-
reign Trade, the American Relief
Administration and the organiza-
ton headed by Frictiof Nansen is
13,418,000 pounds, (36 pounds
each) to be distributed as follows:
Central Russia, 100000 pounds;
Southeastern Russia 1904, 900
pounds, the Ukraine 1,984,000.
Just how much of the seeds will
reach destinations in time for the
spring planting will scarcely be
known before some time in May.
Freezing of the Baltic ports caus-
ed three weeks delay, Krassin
said, and in February and March
the Russian railways were con-
gested at various points. On some
lines he said "many thousand of
cars were held up, while the re-
turn of empty cars to the Baltic
ports and the Black Sea shipping
points fell to the minimum.
Recent reports from various
railway centers showed little, if
any, Improvement in Russia's
transportation, and there has
been much speculation among the
railway managers and experts as
to how niue hof the seed grain
would arrive in time for the spring
planting.

Element, writes Mrs. jeanette Wal
lace Enrich, widow of the Rev.
r. Stanley NJ. Enrich, of Allston,
Mass, in letter received by Miss
Katherine Bingham, st. Johns
bury, Vt.
Mrs. Enrich, who has been in
Turkey for a year in the interests
of the Near East Relief has been
elected an executive of the Asso-
citation for Friendly Relations in
the Near East recently founded
by the American colony residing
in Constantinople. In outlining
the scope of the organization Mrs.
Enrich writes:
'The association, Of which the
honorary president is the Ameri-
can High Commissioner, Rear
Admiral Mark L. Bristol, in
cludes eight nationalities in its
membership. 1t seeks by non-pol-
teal means to bring the Near
Eastern peoples into close hum
unitarian accord. The organiza-
ton gains steadily in interest and
good will Everyone here seems
eager to further the idea Of
"friendly relations, and in fact,
peace is longed for in this country.
Massacres and deportations con
tinue in Anatolia. Only a few
weeks ago five hundred Greek
women and children, whose hus-
bands and fathers had been put
to death, were removed under
guard from the town of Samsoun.
After short time the guards re-
entered the town alone and re-
ported that the work was done
quickly and thoroughly"
"Constantinople contains 100000
refugees, of which 1000 families
received Near East Relief rations,
consisting of bread and condens-
ed milk, which are distributed
among the children. A nominal
payment is made by each family,
the money going toward further
relief.
"The refugees ike in camps or
in tiny mud novels, the old /
women taking care of ten child !

to work. Sick women and child /

"To you in America, the situa-
ton here must seem like a bottom /

see the immediate results of AM T

so. Rather, it is a black pit of .
misery into which you look, to find .
something far more wonderful .
coming out than what you put in.

with renewed courage and the .
will to fight on.
