BIGGEST LOSERS
I
, i -
PARIS, Jan. 30 (by mail).—The re
j pudiation by the Bolsheviki govern
ment of Russia’s entire bonded debt
! caused some anxiety among the
J French people who held at least half
| of the debt of the empire outsanding
i at the beginning of the war.
Eighteen billions of francs of Itus
| sian bonds, at the price of issue, were
i listed on the Paris Bourse. Twelve
j billions according to the lowest estim
[ ate and fifteen billions according to
I other calculations, were bought by the
j French public.
Servants in white aprons, bare
headed market women, domestics of
,1 all categories and men in the blouses
of the peasant and the laborer made
up the long ines of investors in front
of the wickets whenever Russian loans
j were offered for sale.
| “I haven’t a sou invested in Rus
sia,” a millionaire Parisian said to
j the Associated Press, "but every one
! of my servants has one or more Rus
I sian bonds. Another millionaire said
: the name was true of his household.
J "Pistend of hitting the counting house
and the salon, the Bolsheviki are hit-,
ting the servants’ hall and the l^-n*
1 stairs” was the way he put the situa
tion.
There is no little apprehension in
Socialist circles as to the effect of
this heavy blow the extreme revolu
tionary element In Russia has de
11 livered at the extreme liberal element
in France. A peasant or workingman
•who may overlook or disbelieve news
of the Bolshevik excesses or miscon
strue their effect will be unable to
doubt the evidence of his own de
spoilment.
Until now the holders of Russian
bonds have been reassured by the pay
ment of the January coupons which
tho French treasury assumed. It doe3
not appear yet, however, whether the
French government will assume the
burden indefinitely and if the bank
ruptcy of the revolution is allowed to
become effective, the greater number
of the smaller investors who have
been financing the Russian empire
since 1888 will be ruined.
A contrast *s drawn here between
the action of the Bolsheviki and that
of the French revolution. The Maxi
malists pretend that the money loaned
to Russia was used to buy arms to
keep the people in subjection. This
was true to a far greater extent of
the money borrowed by the French
monarchy prior to 1789, yet the con
vention made it a point of honor to
1 take those debts to the account of the
■ republic.
The claims that money furnished by
France brought no benefit to the peo
ple of Russia is also contested. It is
possible to trace the fhoney through
the official list of the loans floated in
Paris and it is found that more than
three-fourths of the capital represent
ed was employed to buy railroads, to
build them, or to develop industry and
agriculture.
Russia had improved only about a
third of her land at the beginning 0f
I the war and the question is asked
how the peasants to whom the uniin
J proved land is turned' over will find
* means of improving it if Russian credit
' i is forever destroyed by the repudia
■ tion of her debts.

PERSISTENCY OF
HUNS IN RUSSIA
BRINGS REIHI)
PARIS, Jan. 31 (by mail).—Count
Nesselrode, one of the first Russians
to respond to the people's demands
for a better share of the world's goods
by distributing among them all of his
property except what he required for
his own living, says the growing dis
tance between the people of Russia
and those of Western Europe is due to
the neglect by the French and other
leading nations, except Germany, to
I cultivate relations with the Russian
people.
He was exiled in 1905 by the govern
i tnent because of the bad example he
1 set to the nobility in giving his prop
; erty to peasants. Since then he has
1 resided in France and become a natur
alized citizen of the republic. A per
sonal friend of Kerensky, Count Nes
selrode was a fervent adherent to the
revolution and gave to the provisional
government what aid he could from
this end.
“The French are astonished at the
progress made by German influence in
•^Russia,” he says, “but they forget that
! the Germans are simply reaping the
[ reward of persistent efforts that date
! back to a remote period.” As an ex
ample Count Nesselrode points to the.
great number of Russian students in
German universities where they were
aided, encouraged and cultivated in
every way. He puts the number jus!
before the war at 35,000.
Count Nesselrode has now been com
pletely ruined by the revolution, the
little property he had retained having
been sacked, devastated and appro
priated, yet he keeps his faith in a
final outcome of the revolution and
he considers it a great fault for the
nations of the entente to base their at
titude toward Russia on any other hy
pothesis.

CHRISTIANIA, Jan. 26 (by mail).- j
Vessels sailing between America and
Norway outside the danger zone and
not touching British ports lately have
not been attacked by Germans, prob
ably more in their ojvn interests than
for any special love of Norway. Ger
many for a long while has not been
abl.e to send food to Norway and as
far as known has not promised to d >
so even if Norway refused to accept
American conditions for food export |
to this co.untry.
German vessels sailing to Norway
must now have provisions, oil, and
kerosene for the whole round trip and
will only in exceptional cases be al
lowed to get small quantities of Nor-1
wegian products.
Some great Norwegian factories
producing articles for export to Ger
many are run by German coal oil and
kerosene as are fishing vessels ob
taining fish for export to Germany.
Norway at present receives fror
Germany steel and iron for construc
tion and is absolutely dependent on
Germany for the import of potassium
compound kainite which is used ex
tensively for fertilizing.

13. To purchase their various house
hold commodities, housewives in Ber
lin have to be provided with no fewer
than 5G cards. The municipality is
sues (hem by the million. The coun
terfeiting of cards, formerly of frequent
occurrence, has been made next to im
possible by the adoption of water
marks, and forgeries are now extreme
ly rare, says a Berlin paper.
By the Tirst of last December we
had exported all our surplus wheat.
Yet Europe is calling for more. We
must send it if the war is to go on
efficiently. If we eat it all we can
not ship it; and the food administra
tion has already tried to picture how
much that wheat is needed by people
who will starve if they do not get it.

In Finland, three and one-half mil
lion people, caught in between Russia
and Sweden, face a failure of their
cereal harvest. They are now on a
ration of 150 grams of war bread a
day. That is less than a quarter of a
j loaf. A large part of that is made up
of bark and beech buds. It looks now
as if a large number of them would
necessarily starve.
