Soviet newspapers speak of serious famine conditions in parts of Russia, accentuated by the inability of cattleraising districts to provision the cities, especially Leningrad, where riots are reported to have occurred, angry crowds demanding food being dispersed by the police. Rykoff, in refusing the 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, whilst an over-estimate of the harvest yield had caused a collapse of the Budget.—Reuter.
