Mrs. Harrison attributes this to in- ternal economic and political disintegra- tion under soviet rule, and also to the ravages of the internecine wars against Admiral Kolchak and Gen. Wrangel and to_the drought. The result is that t lic, normally the granary of Russ barely is able to sustain itself. Siberi virtually is in the same predicament. Neither region is willing to surrender grain to the famine section, and migra- tion of peasants is now proceeding, com- plotely haltingthe autumn planting, ‘which constitutes a threat against next vear's crops.

Alarming reports began pour into Moscow, not only of famine, but of the mass migrations from the Volga regions, which the government still is unable to control. Last year the soviet, realizing the threat of famine which had been growing for several years, encouraged emigration. when 138,688 persons were transferred to Siberia. The emigrants now often are groeted by the natives with clubs and rifles, but the government's efforts to stem the tide of emigration is_without appreciable results. During July, according to Mrs. Har- rison, the heavy rains spoiled much of the hay crops. The government is making anm effort to save the live stock by concentrating herds on_the natural pasturage slopes of the Ural mountains. The peasants, however, are opposing this plan, fearing they will never get back their_cattle. The health situation, Mrs: Harri- son says, is distressing. While cholera is under control, incomplete figures showed there had been 34,000 cases to the end of July, most of them in the government of Astrakhan. There were only 195 cases in Moscow up to July 25, and the health department. which Mrs. Harrison sald was exceed- ingly efficient, had done splendid work.
