RUSSIAN CHILD
Return Is Difficult THE PASSPORT QUESTION THE COST PROHIBITIVE TO RED CROSS (Per Press Association) WELLINGTON, This Day. A Russian child, Galina Bogatiroff, who was found in Streetensk, Siberia, through the efforts of the Red Cross, after having been lost trace of since she was a few months old, is finding difficulty in returning to her family, as trouble is being raised by the Soviet on the question of a passport. Soon after the child was found, the Red Cross authorities considered the child would be able to travel with a British passport, which could be obtained at a small cost, but now it is stated that the Soviet considers her a Russian subject. The price for a Russian passport is 300 dollars, which is absolutely prohibitive for the Red Cross. The High Commissioner and Home authorities have been approached, but so far no arrangements have been made.
