RUSSIA PREPARES
TOCOMBAT FAMINE
Crop Failure This Year Not
Widespread and Little
Starvation Is Seen.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, October S.-A govern
ment scheme for the relief of the
famine-stricken districts was out
lined by NJ. Svidersky, vice commissar r
of agriculture, before the members of
the Russian central executive COM
mittee, sitting in the kremlin grand
palace today.
This years failing crops" said
Cvidersky, ARE due not only to
drought, but. to a greater extent. to
the backward state of Russian agri-
culture, and the government is going
to concentrate it's efforts to raise the
general conditions of agriculture and
safeguard the agricultural home
steads of the peasantry."
VIII Provide Jobs.
According to the vice commissar,
the government has drawn up Il great
scheme for work in dry districts,
which will involve the spending of
100000 rubles and will take several
years to complete. Part of the scheme
will be proceeded with Immediately
and will provide work for many peo-
pie.
There is no comparison between
this years failing crops and the fam
inc of 1921. In 1921 % districts were
affected, comprising population of
4U,UUU,UUU, Wnllo AT the present time
only IL districts with 100000 people
are affected, said the commissar. He
thought it would not be necessary to
concentrate on life-saving owing to
fear of starvation as during the last
famine.
No Fear Of Starving.
1t was estimated that the harvest
although small, would give the pop
ulation in the affected districts 250
pounds of bread per head, while the
total government relief would amount
to another 800 pounds per head
which would suffice to keep the wolf
from the door. The government has
assigned to the relief work an
amount equivalent to $35.000,000. and
has actually distributed 100000
pools of grain for sowing. Eight
million rubles of the assigned money
has been set aside for the relief of
children and 100000 for public
works.
sIn 1921 the government spent 210,-
100000 rubles, which was nine rubles
per head, while this year the govern
ment relief will amount to Is rubles
per head.

Money Lenders
Not Benefited
by Credit Bank
Federal Institution Aims to
Encourage Production and
Marketing of Farm
Products.

The purpose of the intermediate
Credit bank is not so much to pay
|off creditors of the farmer as IL is
period, according to r. w. Clarke of
tho intermediate Credit bank at
Omaha.
THE big object OF the bank" said
Mr.. Clarke, lis not assistance to
banks. rich men. money lenders or
poor men, but to encourage produc-
ton and marketing OF livestock and
agricultural products.
Laws under which the bank oper-
ates specifically states that II shall
he used for aid of producing and
marketing. For example. we cannot
lend to grain elevators-their officers
are not producers, only marketers."
The Federal Land bank serves a
slightly different purpose. In this
organization. the object is TO supply
the farmer money on one-half the
value of the land he will cucumber
to pay off short-time loans which
come due before he is able to come
out from under them.
THE farmer is not making many
new debts" said d. p. Hogan. presi-
dent OF the Federal Land bank.
What he is trying to do is to pay
Off old debts. Under our form Of
loan. the debt comes due in "a years.
At low rate OF interest, and With a
small amount of the principal which
he Is able to pay each year. at the
end OF the "a years the debt Is alb
sorbed. This long loan enables him
to work his way out of debt without
taking so much money from him
annually. He will not Je forced out
Of business, which Is sometimes the
case in other typeit of short loans.
AT the same time, we ask the
farmers creditors TO extend the time
of their loans to him."

What of
American?

What Is to be the future OF the
American government? This is q
question propounded by many
thoughtful men. The answers are as
numerous as the men making answer,
each answer depending largely upon
the mental attitude OF the man.
Perhaps the keenest analysis and
the most comprehensive answer Is
given by Edwin G.. Pinkham, well
known editor and publisher.
In a series OF articles to be pub
lished In The Omaha Bee he traces
government from the time when II
was an ordinance Of kings down TO
our present system OF representative
government. Then he keenly analyses
the situations that have arisen In
the political and economic history OF
this republic. He explains clearly
why the federal powers have grown
and the state powers declined, and
concludes with comprehensive ar
ticle dealing with the only material
of which a nation ever can be made"
This series OF articles Is so COM
prehensive, 70 Illuminating, SO in.
structive. that The Omaha Bee has
arranged for their serial publication.
Beginning Sunday the initial chap
ter will be printed on page one Of
the maifi news section. Each day
thereafter until the series is com.
pleted, 1t will appear on the editorial
page. Patriotic citizens who are
anxious to learn what IL best to do to
bring back government to the people
and 10 preserve the liberties won by
so much sacrifice, should read and
xdIgest them fully.
