(By Electric Telegraph—Copyright).
WARSAW, July 21. • A party of American university .men who have been working in Russia.for a year for the. American Relief Association, who are journeying home, expressed relief that they were no longer under the Soviet regime. Some had worked in Moscow and Petrograd, but the majority in the lands ot the peasant, where their task was not onlv the distribution of food but guarding it from a raid of the Soviet authorities. There is not. one in the party who believes that any .civilised nation should even consider relations with the Soviet regime. They admit that they’began with a doubt of wisdom of American relief intervention, but women and and children had, beep saved. That was the only thing which had given the party satisfaction. They are full of wrath against the American congressmen who-have been spgechmjjking in favour of Russia, after stage-man-aged tours, during which the visitors were surrounded by . Soviet spies, apd made a. sort of Cook’s tour along,. ..a route. where the shop windows were dressed for their special benefit.
