RUSSIAN FOOD
PROBLEM NOW
BEING SOLVED
LONDON, Jan. 5 (Correspondence
of the Associated Press).—Demoral
ized transportation, not lack of food,
is responsible for the famine condi
tions in Russian cities and towns, ac
cording to Leslie Urquhart, a capital
ist with large metallurgical and min
ing interests in Siberia. Mr. Urqu
hart, who recently returned from Rus
sia, has been appointed by the Brit
ish government to assist in the re
vival of Siberia's economic life.
Considering the depreciation of the
ruble, he told a representative of the
Associated Press, food prices in Si
beria are practically normal. In West
ern Siberi^, he said, there is so much
food on hand that a considerable sur
plus could be sent into other parts
of Russia, and the same applies, he
understood, to Southeastern Russia
and to the Ukraine.
“Broadly speaking, it can be said
that in the country as a whole there
is no shortage of food, and although
the large towns of north and central
Russia are starving, there is plenty
of food in the villages. The difficulty
of transport, due to the disorganiza
tion of the railways, the industrial
strikes and risings which brought
about the flooding of the Donetz coal
mines and the decrease in the supply
of fuel to less than 25 per cent of nor
mal production, civil war in the coun
try and economic chaos generally are
all reasons for the state bordering on
famine in the towns.
“Ekibastous, the greatest wheat-pro
J.. ____Cl ! 1-Ir. „,UL 1 n
stocks of wheat lying less than one
hundred miles away, is living from
hand to mouth, as it is practically im
possible to transport the wheat for
lack of strap iron, with which to make
tires for wagon wheels.
“The continual increase of wages
in the industrial and manufacturing
towns has raised the cost of iron,
steel, clothing, boots and other essen
tials—of everything, indeed, that the
peasant wears and uses—and the
peasant represents 85 per (tent of the
population of the country—to 20 and
even 50 times their normal value. The
town workers, or 15 per cent of the
population, however, would not per
mit the Soviet government to raiBe 1
the maximum prices fixed for food.
This one-sided legislation not unnat
urally incensed the peasant. While
ho had to pay 20 and 50 times the
normal price for all essential com
modities produced by the industrial
workers in the towns, he received
only about double the normal pre-war
price for the produce of his own labor.
"Therefore the peasant sits tight
on his grain. He refuses to sell wheat
to the Bolsheviki at the requisition
price of 1% cents a pound when he
can sell it at 96 cents a pound, or even
more. When it can be gotten, bread
today in Petrograd or Moscow is 16
rubles or more a pound. The peas
ant is willing to barter his food for
cloth, steel, textiles and other neces
saries, but the industrial workers
have ruined industry. Nothing i3 be
ing produced; there is nothing to bar
ter with. The peasants have large
accumulations of paper money, but
this is of no value, for they can buy
nothing with it. Meanwhile the peas
"“VM V U111Q UUUW,
“In a sense, then, the peasant is
master of the situation. He has the
food, the townspeople have not. The
Bolsheviki have tried with varying
success to take wheat and other
produce to feed the proletariat of the
towns, but neither the Germans in the
Ukraine, as they have found to their
cost, nor the workmen in the towns
can get food from the Russian peasant
if he does not choose to let them
have it.”
Since the foregoing statement was
made it has been announced that the
allied nations have made arrange
ments to take over the operation of
the Trans-Siberian and Chinese East
ern railways, with John F. Stevens,
the American engineer, in charge of
their operation.
