There is a general desire on the part of all
charitable people to help the famine-stricken Russians, but it is clear that the task will not be an easy one. Apart from the disorganization of transport under Bolshevik misrule, the Moscow despots are trying to use the famine as- a means of obtaining recognition from the Western States. The. International Commission which met in Paris last week.appointed five experts, with a Red Cross delegate, to visit Russia and report on the situation in Eastern Russia. It is not yet known whether the Bolsheviks will admit the commission, as they have been asked to do. Mr. Hoover's American. Relief Commission is working independently. All the money subscribed in America will be expended, by American agents in the relief of the children and invalids either in the Volga region or in the cities where they have taken refuge.
