who seemingly cling to the delusion that
the commissars will be able to dominate
international markets through mass
production.
So long as the military forces are
held In rigid discipline the people must
continue to toll in what is a virtual
slavery. If, as in the cases reported
from the Ukraine, the soldiers rebel
against orders, the backbone of Soviet
authority will be broken. The chief
danger to the Moscow regime, however,
arises from the failure of the Russian
workmen to meet the manufacturing
requirements set by the letter Of the

More Troubles in Russia.

A dispatch from Bucharest, Rumania,
tells . story Of trouble in the Ukraine
that, II true, signifies a condition. that
may develop into serious trouble for the
SOVIET government Of Russia. 1t is to
the effect that in the course Of the anti
religious campaign soldiers have been
destroying churches and women have
protested and attempted to prevent the
work. A veritable uprising has occurred
on the part of the peasantry. Troops
have fired upon groups Of women kill
ing many. Some Of the people, terrified
by the saVagery Of the soldiers, have
tried to fee across the border into Ru-
mania and have been shot down before
getting across the Dnieper. In one VII
lase, however, some Of the troops have
refused TO fire on the revolters and have
been themselves executed for mutiny.
This tale. which appears to have come
from several points. may be believed,
although 1t is possible that there has
been exsggeration. The Russian peas
antry has been heretofore submissive to
the Soviet program, save in the case
Of some OF the kulaks or more prosper
Gus farmers, who resisted the collective
cultivation plan. The anti-religicus
campaign has not been heretofore OBJ
structed, the people yielding to force
and permitting the seizure OF the
churches and their use for public po-
htical, educational and social gather
inss. In the Ukraine evidences of
dissent have heretofore appeared and
now it is quite within the range OF
probability that the people have finally
rebelled against the destruction OF the
places Of worship.
II Is not likely, however, that this
revolt will Immediately spread. The
glamour Of the five-year plan appears to
have held the mass of tf,e Russian peo-
pie in the delusion Of early economic
independence. That 1t has failed in
large measure to reach the point Of
successful development does not appear
to have discouraged them. It's success

Early Action Necessary.

The House Subcommittee on District
Appropriations is. OF course, taking the
right step in holding hearings to estab-
ton OF $500, 900 from local funds for
unemployment and other relief. 1t is
important that the members of Con-
gress who control local appropriations
and the taxpayers themselves. who fur
nish the money, be informed fully as
TO the necessity for the diversion of
public funds into such channels.
But ut the same time it should be
generally realized that the nature of
the emergency that led the President,
with the advice of the local welfare
workers, TO ask for this appropriation
also demands that action on it be
taken with relative speed.
The situation is simply this: The
District Unemployment Committee,
formed for the purpose of creating
work during the of season, was to end
its labor April l, but has been fur
nished money from the Community
Chest that will enable it to continue
until May /. At that time it is hoped,
but not guaranteed, that the resump-
tion of normal labor demand for sea-
sonal work will in some degree COM
pensate for the Unemployment Com
mittees stepping out of the picture.
But at the same time it is realized
that q heavier burden will be thrown
on other charitable agencies
The demands for relief upon these
agencies already have exceeded expecta- :
tons It was estimated last Fall that
the additional demands upon the As
ISOLATED Charities, for instance would
amount to approximately 40 per cent
for this month. They have already ex-
ceeded 100 per cent. Proportionate in
creases In the demand for relief have
fallen on other agencies.
Unless there is relief from other
sources, these agencies will either have
to curtail their work or they run out of
money. As in other communities, the
time has come when contributions from
private sources to charity and welfare
work must be supplemented by public
funds. The proposal is that the $500, 900
now sought will be made available for
expenditure through the Board of Pub
lie welfare. The aid thus administered
will lessen BY that much the great de-
n&nd on private charity. Private char
liable agencies will not handle the
@S00, 600.
The members Of Congress, it is to be
assumed, will approach this important
problem with the thought IN mind of
their responsibility as washington's
Legislators. Washington, as other
cities, needs the appropriation of local
revenues to supplement what it has
given through private contributions.
Congress. holding the purse strings of
local as well as national revenue, is the
only body to which the community may
appeal.

Ross Boys Fathers
Sacrifice Is Scored
To the Editor Of The star.

To the Editor Of The Star:
In John Clagett Proctor's story of
the Charley Ross kidnapping. published
In The Sunday Star March 20, Mr.. Ross
Is highly commended for refusing to
ransom his 4-year old son, who was IN
the hands of men shown by their COM
munications to be brutal and likely to
kill the child. Mr. Proctor calls the
father noble" because ''he even stood
to lose his own son rather than to treat
with band Of criminals" who. II en-
couraged, would break the hearts OF
other innocent parents" He thinks Mr..
Ross should have monument bearing
the words: "Here lies the body of q
man who gave his flesh and blood to
uphold the law"
Here Is recognition Of the suffering Of
parents and the rights of society, but
no awareness Of the child's sufferings or
rights. Surely Charley Ross had some
interest in his own flesh and blood and
life. which Mr.. Proctor thinks Of only
as a sort of extension Of the fathers
body and personality. like an arm or a
leg. which he might, sacrifice If he
chose
