UKRAINE’S PLIGHT
FAMINE THREATENED FORMER GRANARY OF EUROPE APPEAL TO THE LEAGUE (United Press Assn.—By Telegraph—Copyright.) London, November 11. The Geneva correspondent of The Times reports: “After eight years Red domination the Ukraine, formerly the granary of Europe, is so impoverished that it cannot feed itself.” He says that a committee of Ukraine refugee organizations are petitioning the League of Nations. The petition states: “In order to carry out their policy of extermination Moscow tyrants sent 1000 Ukranians to certain death in Siberia and confiscated the country’s immense riches to pay the imperialistic army and also agitators fomenting troubles throughout the world. The famine that devastated Ukraine in 1922 was nothing compared with the disaster now breaking. We appeal to the world to help 3,000,000 at present faced with starvation.”. — Times Cables.
