RUSSIAN GRAIN
GREAT DROP IN QUANTITY EXPORTED By Telegraph.—Press association. Copyright. London, January 8. The “Berliner Tageblatt’s” Moscow correspondent states that the Soviet’s export of grain, which was twelve million tons annually before the war and three millions last year, cannot exceed one million for the current year, while a decline to 600,000 is not impossible. The peasant brings to market only 65 per cent, of the grain compared with pre-war.
The “Daily Express” says that the peasants are hoarding their harvest, willing to sell only at prices the State is unwilling to pay. The authorities are organising fierce drives to force a surrender of the grain surplus.
