-TWO-REERSTEINS-FOR-A-PAIR OF SHOES.

extract from a

letter dated following, February

1921 and written to a friend in Peking tella its own story.

It shows the dif- culty under which people are existing, for really nothing more, and how great is the dearth of the ordinary commodi-. ties of lifa. The fact that one can obtain, two Bechstein pinnas for a pair of new shoes gives an idea of the true condition of 'affairs, There...are many pathetic touches in the letter that accen- taate how and is the lot of them forced to live in Central Russia under present conditions.

The letter says:

We do our best to. get her to join us, but travelling in the South nowadays is very difficult, the Ukraine being full of bandits. Trains are held up and robbed and politics are mixed up with brigandage and it is diffi cult to find out the truth.

Our chief income is what we get by selling our things To give you an idea of the condition of prices here I can cite as an. instance that for a pair of shoes (now. worth 200,000 roubles) one can grand Bechstein pianos.
