The whole world has been hearing about the famine now for nearly two months, but Russia is still

a question of self-perservation. because in the track of lamine comes the gaunt apectra of pestilence, and pestilence, is no respecter of frontiers. We have already' had alarming accounts of the spread of pestilence in Russia. MAXIM GORKY'S appeal to Germany was for medical aid particularly. Ine cables, however, have furnished us with little information of

the extent of the assistance, which is being sent to Russia, We know that something is being done by the Supreme Council of the League of Nations and by the Red Cross organisations, and especially by the Red Cross organisation in the United States which is in the best position to organise the food supplies necessary, but while the negotiations have been in progress with the Soviet Adminis- tration the people have been perishing ip. their thousands. Whatever may bo the extent of the assistance the Powers may ultimately furnish, the reports point to the inevitability of a death roll whose magnitude can no more be gauged than can the effects of the famine upon the futuro of the Soviet Administration; for if the views of the writer of the letter as to where the responsibility rests are widely shared in Russian Bolshevist
