LONDON, January 3o.-The
monthly salary Of q nurse In the
municipal hospital in Moscow is
less than the cost Of q cake OF
soap In that ofty.. This striking
example Of the disproportion be-
tween wages and the cost Of liv-
ing in the Russian capital Is dis
closed in a report just made by q
special commission sent to Russia
by the health committee OF the
league Of nations.
The commission says that a cake
Of soap in Moscow costs $500 ru-
bles. while nurses in the city hos
pital were paid only 5000 rubles q
month. and. that they had to be
content with very scanty food.
The poverty and misery that pre-
vailed in Russia. as seen in
the hospitals which the commits
sion visited. made deep impres.
sion upon the members. Neverthe-
less, tire commission stated, there
is q Efgh state Of efficiency in the
municipal hospital. and the CON-
mission emphasized the spirit Of
sacrifice displayed by those in
trusted with nainlstering to the
health OF the Russian people, espe-
cially Of the children.
