NANSEN URGES LEAGUE TO IMMEDIATE ACTION.
GENEVA, September 9. In the course of a speech on the Russian famine before the Assembly of the League, Dr. Nansen approved Lord Robert Cell's plea for more publicity and regretted that the Council's report bad not mentioned Russia He declared that Russia was a problem facing Europe and lengthily described "this frightful famine" in Russia. He strongly urged immediate action to cope with the famine before it was too late and moved a resolu- tion that the question should be referred to a committee. He concluded by urgently appealing to the governments of Europe to help. The speech was warmly cheered..
..
Dr. Nansen's account of the present conditions in Russia, based on his personal investigations, was very distressing and greatly impressed the Assembly. He contended that the food problem was not difficult, there was plenty of food and transport in the world while the Russians were quite capable of coping with internal transport. He believed that the agreement with the Soviet Government was satisfactory and the Soviet could be trust- ied, to carry it out. He urged immediate action as the situation was most
serious.

Mr. Jenkin said he presumed mission to investigate conditions in Russia may result in the dissolution of that, subject to the Acting Chief the commission which is now sinlag in Paris, as it is felt that no good purpose can be served by continuing the labours of the commission in view of the Soviet Government's arcompromising attitude and the fact that any relief sent to Russia would apparently be taken over by the Soviet authori- ties for disposal as they alone thought fit. It is authoritatively stated in London that there are indications that the refusal is based on the deliberate purpose of refusing relief from the Allies.

The Attorney General pointed out that the ticket issue arose in consequence of the finding of the ticket na the first morning of the trial. It was new evidence to him as well and he would prefer not until Monday. In the meantime he to address the jury on the point
would go into the matter and he was prepared to communicate with Mr. Jenkin privately on the point.
Mr. Jerkin: My friend, Your dship, has had the whole of this week to settle the point. I shot!! have thought that the Crown would have known what their case was by now but if they don't want to say anything, all right. This case has been so peculiar in many ways,
The Attorney General: I do know
what the Crown case is but I would not like to confine myself as to details."
His Lordship agreed with Mr. Jenkin that in the ordinary course had the evidence been available when the trial began the Attorney General must have" opened" on the ticket issue. He thought the Attorney General could outline his case pri- vately to Mr. Jenkin.
Mr. Jenkin said he would wait until Monday morning.
"I have never heard of such a thing" he de aclared.
In an article in the Fall Mall Gazette, Mr. Elis Barker urges that in view of the competition on the Continent and is the Far East, British workers cannot afford to demand high wages for totally insufficient'ou!- put. He points out that India and Japan are becoming increasingly important as manufacturing nations, and declares that China will soon become a formidable rival to Britain, especially as her industries are being rapidly developed by energetic American business men.
