1201 SHEVISTS RULE | WITH IRON HAND' Gol Bell Tells of Chaotic Gon- ‘. ditions in Russia | Although there are between 120 and 180 milllon peopls in Russia less than 600,000 are enrolled commun- ists, according to Colonel Walter A. Bell, who had charge of feeding one district In that coumtry under fer. bert C. Hoover after the close of the World ww*. Colonel Bell spoke at the meeting of the New Britaln Ro- tary club at the Burritt hotel today, There were 95 present, among th belng membere from Meriden, Hart- {ord and Waterbury, ' Trank Wachter, chalman of the Christmas basket committee took a | census of Rotarlans who will sup- | ply basket to needy famllies on | Christmas. Only 28 were needed, but | 6 volunteered, The 66 names were ! put into a hat and 28 were drawn from it. Christmas Red Cross seals | also were sold to the members. Leon A. Bprague presented Rotary em- blems to the members as the gift of the New Britain Trust Co. 8imilar emblems but containing the insignia | of the club have been given to mem- | bers of the Lions and Kiwanis clube. It was announced that there will be no more meetings of Rotary until January 8. No Fares on Rallroads. | Colonel Bell, who was In charge of a section iIn the Ural mountains during the years of 1921-22 and 23 stated that Russla was the 23d coun- | try in Europe to be helped by the Hoover rellef program. He explain- | ed how it was necessary to re-or- | ganize the railroad system of Ru People traveled in hox cars and other places and nobody paid any fare, He sald the Hoover system was malinly tesponsible for the stabilizing of Europe and its economlic recovery. He had an organization under him of 30,000 Russians within a radius of 150 square miles. They were in a strange country, among strange people, wheré interpreters were scarce and for more thag a year he could not speak directly to more than two of the entire 30,000. They | fed 11 milllon people every day, in a territoyy Wwhere 65 per cent of the population was on the verge of starvation, and a territory which comprised three republics and five | state governments. He gpoke on the future benefit to the United States of this feeding pro- gram, stating that while Russla was in such a chaotic condition that no written records probably ever will or can be made of this period, the !Qc[y will bs handed down by word of mouth until it becomes one of ths traditions of the country. o He spoke of the ravages of dis- ease, cholera, typhus and smalipox and how these diseases were almost wiped out by vaccination. In one| year he sald there were over 400,000 cases of cholera. There were In that year 500,000 cases of smallpox. Communists Rule By Far He sald that the communistic gov- ernment, even today is one of mur ‘der and terror. Men who eritiolse the government, even in the smaller towns and villages disappear and nothing ever agaln is heard from them. While the average pea: is not a bolshevik sympathizer, he stated, they are held in absolute sub- jcetlon and terror by the espionage gystem with sples and secret police. He sald the problems of Russia vould be nearer a solution today it England had not recognized fihe‘ communistic government. “A goi- ernment based on spying, oppression and terror,” he called it, CIVIL ACTIONS BROUGHT.
