RUSSIA UNDER THE SOVIET
RELIEF WORKERS' REPORTS
UNFAVORABLE TO REDS.
Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright.
WARSAW, July 21
A party of American University men who had been working in Russia for a year tor an American relief association, in journeying home, expressed relief that they were no longer under the Soviet regime. Some had worked in Moscow and Petrograd, but the majority worked in the land of the peasant, where their task was not only the distribution of food, but the guarding of it from raids of Soviet authorities. There is not one in the party who believes that any civilised nation should ever consider having relations with the Soviet regime. They admit that they began with doubts of the wisdom of American relief intervention, but women and children had been saved. That was the only thing which had given the party satisfaction. They are full of wrath against American Congressmen who had been speechmaking in favor of Russia after stage-managed tours, during which the visitors were surrounded by Soviet spies and made a sort of Cook’s tour along a route where shop windows were dressed for their special benefit. —A. and N.Z. Cabl.
