Of the 600,000 German colon- ists still reported to be alive in Rus; sia, Dr. Otto Fischer of Hamburg, who is well acquainted with the con- ditions in Russia, says at least 600,. 000 are in great distress. The mi 1 jority of these colonists are Catheo- jl s. Half of the German colonists in Russia are along.the Black Seq and the remainder are on the Volga; in the vicinity of Saratoff. Some doubt is expressed by the German press as to whether the Ger- mans in Russia along the Volga can be won over to the soviet standard by giving them autonomy because of |_ the extreme hardships they hat suffered under the Bolshevist regime and the disorganization and death visited upon them by famine andj the requisitioning of their grain and cattle by the soviet government. . Germans first, emigrated to _ the Volga area 150 years ago and 50 years, later the German colonists ket- tled along the Black Sea, Of recent vears there hasbeen a great emigra- tion of these German-Russian: ecton- ists to the United States, especially to Kansas and North Dakots. Many of them also have ’gone to the Ary tine. A new famine is. now facing the Volga Germans, and the Berlin Cath- olic paper Germania is carrying gn appeal for the “colonists. The ex; tremely high price of all sorts of textiles in Russia ‘and the bad econ- omic state of the Volga Germans make it impossible for most of the col onists to buy clothing. Many chil. dren cannot attend school because of the lack of clothing, and even the clergymen are reported to be so poverty-stricken that they have no suitable clothing to wear in the churches. Both the Catholic and the Protest- pnt German colonists, have clung to ;their religion in Russia in spite of the Bolshevist agitation against all churches and the martyrdom of | priests and preachers and they have clung to their mofher tongue and customs. i Marienthal, the largest, Catholic! community in Russia, had 12,000 in- habitants before the soviet regime.

Review on “The Opium Qwestion and America,” Mr. Campbell makes the eategori- cal statement that “Ind export opium to the United Sites, and only the most trifling quanti- ties at very irregular intervals, to countries on the American contixent; neither does India export opiura to England or to any other country for eventual re-export to the: American continent. Moreover, no Indian opium finds its way to America by any’ chanpel, whatsoever except pos- sibly such trifling quantities as may be smuggled by the crews of ships trading between Far Eastern ports and ports in the United States. In- dia does not now, nor has she at any time, exported dangerous drugs to America either directly or indirect- The writer declares that the India government has for years steadily pursued the policy of selling opium as far as possible direct to govern- ments of other countries, and so far from pressing its opium on any coun- try, India requires as a condition precedent to export that the import- ing government must satisfy, itself that the quantity asked for is rea- sonable; that the importing govern- ment must certify that the opium is required for legitimate purposes and that it must assume the administra- tive and moral responsibility of see- ing that the opium imported 1s not employed for purposes of abuse. As aresult, India now sells roughly three-fourths of her opium exports direct to responsible governments, ‘and has refused to allow exporta-in. cases where it was thoroughly sa‘ GEORGE L.

A real menace to the world Mr. Campbell sees in the “wholly illegal and uncontrolled production of opium in China, whgre more than 80 percent of the togal crop of opium is grown.” MOUNT McKINLEY PARK ROUTE Anchorage, Alaska, Feb, 16.— Throughdut. the territery of the Alaska Railroad, the government’s Nne that penetrates. from the Pa- cific Ocean to Faityanks, the m tropolis of interior Alaska, ‘busi- ness men have adopted a slogan.
