RUSSIA’S CROPS FAIL
STARVATION IN UKRAINE SOVIET FEEDS THOUSANDS SUPPLIES BOUGHT ABROAD By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Australian Press Association. Received Sept. 23, 5.5 p.m. Sun Cable. London, Sept. 21. Reports via Riga state that owing to the failure of the crops in the Ukraine, which is Russia’s granary, affecting 3,000,000 peasants, the Soviet is now feeding between 250,000 and 300,000 people as well as allocating money for cattle fodder, seed and grain. Two hundred thousand tons of seed and grain were purchased in America and distributed, but much has been eaten by the starving people. Meantime there is a plentiful harvest in Siberia, but the railway is inadequate to transport it westward and much is damaged or stolen en route.
