SOVIET SETBACK.
GRAIN DELIVERIES SHORT. AUTHORITIES’ DIFFICULTIES. Unitea Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright. LONDON, Oct. 25. The Riga correspondent of the Times says the Soviet announces another set-back to its grain plans. During the past three weeks —the most Important of the whole campaign—the Soviet’s agents collected less than half of the stipulated quantities and the pace is slackening daily. The failure is clue to disorder in the central organisations and the reluctance of local authorities to give the necessary support. Even Soviet authorities are siding against the Government, especially in the Black Sea region, where officials waylay oaravans and compel peasants to deliver their grain for local purposes. The press declares that the difficulties are Increased by the disorganisation of the railways. Thousands of tons of grain awaiting transport are perishing in the open air.
