Starved for Centuries

Like the Far Eastern Asiatics
the Russians have been living on
Substandard rations for centuries
Count Witte in a report in 1903
said:
"When the harvest is normal
lin Russia) the mount of nutri-
ment obtained by the average
peasant is 30 per cent below
the minimum requisite to main
tain the strength of an adult
worker on the land"
Yet grain was exported under
the monarchy just as it is being
exported today while the rest OF
the world says that the Soviet
government is starving its people
Count Witte estimated that 70
per cent of the peasants got less
than a decent living: that 20 per
cent were able to feed themselves
but not their livestock and that
only 10 per cent had anything
above the bare necessities.
He claimed that the family in
com of a majority of the peasants,
after deducting taxes, was less
than $50 a year.
This report was made in 1908
and throws light on the fact why
millions of peasants and workers
were willing to join the 1905 re-
bellion.

Tom was defeated for re-elec.
ton last year by John H. Bank

State Democratic leader. Tom
charged corruption and fraud and
was so persistent in his accusa-

rected an investigation. The com

port and Tom claims it will cor.
roborate his charges.
Whatever the committees re.

Senate floor for decision. The
Senate is the sole judge of its
membership and can unseat one
claimant and give the place to
another if a majority so decides
It did this several years ago in
the case Of Senator Brookhart.

All Disappears

In 1922 the writer gave a
Thanksgiving Day party at the
A. r. A. headquarters.
Food was prepared enough for
thrcc times the number of guests,
yet in an hour and a half it had
all disappeared. Many of the
sandwiches went into the guests
pockets.
Last year the writer's Russian
friends could only offer black
bread and tea.
This year white rye bread was
available. In Berlin this summer
an American who had Travelled
widely in Russia last summer pre-
dicted that the writer would lose
10 pounds on the Russian jaunt
and the guide would gain that
much in weight. He was correct
about the writer. The 6.000-mile
trip cost 10 pounds, but the guide
also lost weight.
Food is only comparatively more
plentiful in Russia. Whenever
possible the natives 60 on food
orgies; that is, they save enough
money to have one or two really
substantial meals a month, with
soup, meat and dessert.
Every day there is a long queue
of Russians waiting to get into
the Savoy restaurant where the
prices are high. but the food ex'

Whenever a Russian wants to

Gay -Pay-oo Get Delicacies

Trade unions in certain shops
buy food for their members. but
even this collective buying does
not bring food down to capitals
tic levels.
The writer's guide brought in
one day some really good apples,
better than obtainable at the
foreigners shop, saying that they
had just been received by his
union although ordered six weeks
previously. Figuring the rouble
at par they cost so cents
pound.
As in all other countries, the
ruling class gets the best food
The secret police-the all-pOwer
full Gay-Pay-OO-get the deli
cacies.
Last year the writer was a
guest at a Gay-Pay-Oo celebra'
ton at a prison camp. There
were caviar, wine, fruit, meat
and white bread in abundance.
This year. while on a Black
Sea boat, he saw a large plate
of lettuce and tomato salad on
one of the nearby tables.
When he ordered a similar
salad the waiter became conf
Dental, whispering into the
guides ear that the salad was
for the three-letter party
meaning the Gay-Pay-Oo Off

The waiter insisted that the
vegetables had been brought
aboard by the party, and added
that they brought baskets and
baskets of food"

May Take the Floor

As a former member Tom will
have the privilege of the Senate
floor and intends to take full
advantage Of that in carrying on
his challenge of Bankhead.
He cannot, Of course, speak
in his own behalf, unless the
Senate by suspension Of the rules
and by special motion should
extend him that right. Tom
won't say whether he will ask
for that unusual privilege-but
there are some Senators who
say they don't doubt that he
will do so.
But whether he does or not
the Senate looks forward to a
battle royal. Tom may be vOcif-
erous. but he Is persistent, as
the Senate will readily certify.
And there are some Senators who
say that it would be worth
establishing a new precedent by
allowing Tom to take the floor
just to hear his speech.

Raymond r. Brandt nara TO DelleVe.
The first reaction to Russian
living conditions is: How do
these people keep alive?
Back in 1922 and 1923 when
the writer was in Vitebsk, White
Russia-not a famine area-with
the American Relief Administra-
tion, he could not believe that
rs orphan children could live
through a winter in one room
with sealed windows. Their ra-
tions until the A. R. A. furnished
one meal a day were black
bread, cabbage soup, occasionally
potatoes. and imitation tea.
Yet the managers of such
homes always insisted that none
of the children had died while
in these homes.
This was probably untrue, but
according to American standards
of sanitation and food many of
the children should have died
years before.

he has not been sworn in and
will not be until Heflin's contest
against him is settled. Bankhead
also has a Senator's suite in the
Senate Office Building. Tom had
to give up his office rooms, but
is allowed to have one chamber
in which to conduct his fight
against Bankhead. He does not,
however, draw any pay. That

How Brookhart Won

The governor of Iowa certified
to the Senate that Brookhart had
been elected. The count was very
close. The Senate after almost
two years of committee inquiry
finally rejected Brookhart's claims
and seated his Democratic op-
ponent, Daniel F. Steck. Brook
hart was not to be outdone, how,
ever.
He promptly returned to Iowa,
ran against Senator Albert B.
Cummings, Republican floor
leader. and defeated him. This
time there could be no question
about BrOOkhart's right to 49,
seat and he is a member of the
Senate today.
While waiting for the Senate
to return him to it's rolls Tom is
earning IAN honest living" as ne
explains it. by lecturing. His
subject is America at the Gross,
roads" The crisis as Tom sees
it is the demon liquor traffic and
Roman Catholic encroachmeat.
He declares that business for him
is brisk and that the depression
has had no effect upon either the
zeal or numbers of his listeners.
