FAMINE IS RUSSIA’S PERIL
Country Is Hard Pressed to Provide
Staples Essential to the Main*
tenance of Her Inhabitants.
Not Germany but famine is the
most desperate peril which Russia
faces now. Russia is hard pressed
to provide staples essential to the
maintenance of her people, observes
a correspondent. Great cities such
as Petrograd are short of provisions.
Bread is hard to obtain. Appeals
have been published to the citizens
of the capital explaining that the
grain-growing provinces refuse to
sell their wheat or flour and begging
the people to remember that any dis
orders will make it yet more difficult
to get food.
With such conditions existing
what will happen at the end of the
long, hard Russian winter? And if
actual starvation blights the chief
cities of Russia, then what can be
hoped for from the army and the
government ?
In the largest sense, of course,
Russia will survive. To a certain
extent that vast country may even
“come back,” before the end of the
war. But no help from Russia can
be counted on by the allies. They
may hope for some uncertain assist
ance, but their plans will necessarily
be made without reckoning on Mus
covite co-operation at all.
