RUSSIA CANNOT

START

WAR

Not Producing Enough Food

New York, Apr. 4.

Soviet Russia cannot start a war in the near future because it cannot produce enough food now, a former United States Attache in Moscow said today.

Mr Charles W. Thayer, ex-chief of the Voice of America, also said that Soviet agriculture is even poorer now than it was 40 years ago, before the Communists took power.

Mr Thayer said in an article | Sirey had only four horses for in Look Magazine even before every 10 in Russia in 1917, and the ouster of ex-Premier Georgi that 9,000,000 sheep and goats Malenkov It was apparent that and 4,000,000 hogs had "vanish-
