charged that the purpose of Her
bert Hoover's recent world
circling famine tour was to
spread "anti-Soviet propaganda" )"
The government newspaper, in an
article written by S. Gorodetsky,
also quoted foreign progressive cir
cles" as saying reactionaries in Brit
ain and the United States were using
UNRRA as a means of political
blackmail." This so-called black
mail" was compared with what WAS
described as atomic politics" in the
United States.

Aggressive Side of Politics.
These aims have little relat ton
to the love of human beings. bit

aggressive side of politics." Izvestia
said
The article asserted that. al
though UNRRA relief was distri-
buted through a special intergov-
ernmental organization. however,
as a matter of fact, this organiza-
ton is nothing other than an ap-
paratus of the United States and
