RUSSIAN FAMINE
RIOTS IN LENINGRAD Br Telegraph—Press Association. Copyright. Riga, March 18. The Soviet newspapers speak of serious famine conditions in parts of Russia which are accentuated by the inability of cattle-raising districts to provision the cities, especially Leningrad, where riots are reported to have occurred, angry crowds demanding food and being dispersed by the police. M. Rykoff, in refusing an application for a subsidy for the metal industries, stated that four millions must be added to the starving millions whom the Government was already supporting, while an over-estimate of the harvest yield caused a collapse of the Budget.—Reuter.
