RUSSIAN FAMINE
UNDER CONTROL
STATEMENT BY GOODRICH OF
INDIANA
Former Governor Tells President and
Secretary Hoover of
investigation

Washington, April 20.-The AM
erican relief administration now has
Russian famine under control in all
the accessible districts, former Cover
nor Goodrich of Indiana declared to-
dav after conferring with President
Harding and Secretary Hoover upon
his recent investigation of conditions
in Russia.
Mortality among children has been
reduced to normal, he reported, and
deaths from acute starvation among
adults are rapidly diminishing, while
the morale of the people in the FAM
inc districts has shown an extrardina-
ry change for the better.
Control of the Russian famine un-
til the next harvest, Governor Good
rich asserted, was purely a question
of railway transportation, the de
generated administration and equip
ment fo the railways" giving no GER
tainty as to the conctinued movement
of supplies. He declared there were
enough supplies on the way to Russia
or stored in ports to control the sit
uation until harvest if they couldibe
delivered to the famine regions, but
added that congestion at junction
points, where as many as so trains
have been stalled for weeks, threaten
ed the continued movements from the
ports.
The former governor said there
was every indication that the seed
provided by the American relief ad-
ministration would be sufficient to
provide for the next harvest. He
spoke in glowing terms Of the work
of the American staff IN the. famine
districts and declared the members
had organized thousands OF commit
tees in the various communities to a
high point of efficiency.
s'The gratitude of the Russian peo-
pie towards America i: unbounded, .
Mr.: Goodrich said. "Tha word 'Are
initials Of the American relief ad-
ministration, which is the protective
sign on the whole distributive ma
chinery from cars to warehouses and
kitchens, has been embraced as a
word in the Russian language ex-
pressing the generous action of Am
erica.
''No doubt, poverty vii! continue
in Russia, more particularly in the
cities and larger towns, for long
time to come, but this great disaster
Of famine from drought will have
been overcome after the new harvest
in August. Except for the ameliora
ton of inherent poverty from econ
omic decentralization the work of the
Americans will have been accom-
plished."

Russo.German Incident Not Settled
After Day of Private Canversa-

NSIiOci, -lPI IL ~ N4'S SAA> -ASSO>N>>~
ed Press The economic conference
was tonight without a definite settle
ment of the Russo-German incident
after day given over to private con-
versations, conferences between the
Germans and Russians and all sorts
of entente and a great assembly OF
the worlds press, called oy Premier
LLOYD George, who addressed the
newspaper representatives Of 40 ma
tions and announced that the Ger
mans would accept the conditions I'M
posed by the allies and that the Rus
sian attitude toward the London eX-
perts' report would be such that
further negotiations would be posi-
BILE.
After Mr.. Lloyd Gerge had made
his statement, the Germans announc-
ed that they were still considering
their reply to the note of the big and
little entente, denying them admis-
sion to the conference unless the Rus
so-German treaty was rescinded or at
least amended and approved by the
conference. The Germans are said to
be divided in their relations. This is
the reason for their delay in coming
to decision for submission to the
allies. The Russians also have with
held official publication of their reply
to the London experts report which
had been promised for today.
In short the day closed with no def
mite advance over the position of the
previous day but with general feel
ing that the Germans will take an
attitude which will make the situation
easier and pave the Hay for a confer
ence agreement on the Russian prob
lem.
One of the Italian delegates said
the German answer was expected Fr.-
day mosning, at which time Siehor
Schanzer the Italian foreign minister,
would convene a meeting of the al
lies together with Rumania, Poland,
Switzerland and Sweden for an ex-
change of ideas on the Russian reply,
which may have been delivered by
them.
According to the French spokes-
man, tonight the delegates Of one Of
the allied powers, not France, after
the announcement of the Russo-Ger-
man treaty had prepared resolution
calling for adjournment of the con-
ference. The delegation brought the
resolution to the meeting which drew
up the protest to German, but being
satisfied with the text of the protest
decided not to present the resolution.
This spokesman added that the
Frennch were not so optimistic as Mr..
Lloyd George; certainly France was
not willing to pay price without linn
it merely to bring about successful
conference. AS indicative of the con-
fusion here, he explained that the
French information tonight was that
the Germans might decide to go back
to Berlin, with the understanding that
they should return to Genoa when
their participation in the deliberations
was required.

THE RAGES OF WOMEN.

The state OF Kansas has definitely fixed the mini
mum wage which can be paid to any woman work
ing in a laundry at SIT week. The scale for those
working in stores is so cents less.
The basis on which this is fixed Is interesting. as
s the theory on which the right OF the state to fix
wages rests.
The commission has reached It's conclusion that
this sum IS necessary keep the woman worker
in proper physical condition in which to do her
work
The right to fix that wage rests upon the theory
that the state is in the health. not only
Of the woman herself but OF the future chHdreh
who may be born to her.

order into labor units" Of bread and shoes and
clothing IL is quite likely that the rest OF the world
would have protested against this form Of nationali-
ration of
Had this same order been sent out % years ago
It would have been hailed the result Of sociastic
theories and a most radical blow at the very foun-
dalton Of all liberties.
The thought of men and women towards wages
and women and work IS changing. At last the
nation has discovered that the thing that can
not be replaced IS man power and that the state
has very direct interest in keering up that part
of its resources.
