SCIENTISTS SAY CONDITIONS
IN RUSSIA ARE DEPLORABLE
NEW YORK, June 18—Several
letters from scientists living under
the Bolshevist regime in Russia, and
other documents describing condi
tions under which the Russian scien
tists are living at present, have been
made public by A. J. Sack, director
of the Russian information bureau
in the United States, representing
in this country the Russian demo
cratic anti-Bolshevis't forces. This
material came to Mr. Sack through
Prof. Boris SokolofT, a leading mem
ber of the party of Sosialists-Revo
lutionists and deputy to the First
All-Russian Constituent Assembly.
Prof. SokolofT is now in Prague,
Czecho-Slovakia.
The names of the Russian scien
tists who wrote these letters were
not given as this, it is said, would
expose them to Bolshevist persecu
tion. Describing the conditions under
which the scientists are now living
in Russia, Professor X writes:
‘‘These years have been one con
tinuous 'horror . . . We were declar
ed by the Bolsheviki to be parasites
and drones, and we were deprived
even of that miserable food allow
ance which the workers and the sol
diers have been receiving.’
Professor of Philosophy U writes
that he looks upon the tragic situa
tion “with interest, calmly, as befits
a philosopher. Just as calmly as I
consider the fact that in my room
the water is freezing and that I am
eating oats instead of bread and
meat. All these discomforts of
Soviet Russia I regard quite calmly.
“But there is one aspect of life
under the Soviet rule which com
f
I pels me to despise that rule. This
is their boundless falsehood ....
I
Every day, on the pages of their'
silly newspapers, in their speeches,
jin their books, there is falsehood
and deceit everywhere.”
| Professor W. writes: “No, there!
j can be no understanding between
j me and the Bolsheviki. I an an old,
: feeble man, hardly able to move,
, with feet swollen with sores from
the cold and hungry winter. Yet
they are keeping me in solitary
; confinement.”
Finally Assistant Professor X
wries: “It was hard to watch the
| sufferings of Evgraph Stepanovitch.
^ged, gray, emaciated from hunger,
he had grown so weak the last few
few days that he was unable to get
up from bed. I came to visit him.
I brought him a little stale bread
which I had difficulty in obtaining
for I had no money. He grasped the
bread eagerly. He took a bite and
then he stopped. “ ’You are young,
better eat yourself; as for me, it is
jtime for me to die.’ And vainly did
i f try to urge him to take some
bread and gruel.”
The statement says that according
to official Bolshevist statitics, 420
I Russian scientists died of starvation
j during the last three years. The
j first issue of the journal. “Science
'and Its Workers”, published recent
j !y by the committee for the im
; provement of the condition of Scien
| tists in Petrograd, contains in its
introductory article a list of Rus
sian scientists who died of hunger
; and destitution during the last few
months of 1920.
“If this process of the dying out
of scientists,” says the journal, “will
(continue at this rate, our country
/
will be entirely deprived of its brain.
The life of a scientist in our times
is terrible, as regards his physical
environment, and is a torture moral
ly.”
BRITISH EXPEL MINISTER
TO PREVENT DISTURBANCE
ALLAHABAD, India, June 18—
The British high commissioner in
Mesopotamia recently ordered the
expulsion of the Mesopotamian min
j ister of the interior, Sayed Talib
Pasha, because he had threatened
| to use armed forces against the
government.
Talib Pasha had demanded tr.e
removal of certain British officials
from the stall of the high commis
sioner and gave warning that he
would use force against the govern
ment if the British authorities failed
to keep their )>roniise to *he people
of Irak that they would be allowed
to choose their own form of govern
ment and ruler.
On receipt of the threat, which
was made at a dinner party in Bag
dad, the high commissioner ardered
the British commander in ehief to
arrange for the immediate removal
of Talib Pasha and he at once left
Bagdad.
ARMENIANS WANT FRENCH
TO KEEP TURKS AT PEACE
NEW YORK, May 13—The an
nouncement that the French troops
would be withdrawn from the Cilicia
district of Turkey as a result of ne
gotiations with Turkish Nationalists
caused a panic among the Armenian
residents there, according to Dr.
J. K. Martin, a relief worker at
Aintab, in a report sent to the
Near East Relief.
Dr. Martin says that most of the
Armenians w'ere leaving that city
as fast as they could and that the
poorer people who could not afford
to leave were almost distraught
with fear. The Turks have become
bolder and more threatening since
reports of the contemplated French
evacuation were received.
The missionary quoted a reported
boast of the Moslems that they
would rebuild their shattered mi
narets and mosques with Christian
skulls, and says this has not failed
to have its effect on the Armenians.
Dr. Martin adds:
“An Armenian said to me: ‘We
would all of us go calmly, joyfully,
to some desert place if only per
mission were given us. We would
prefer to die of hunger and star
vation many times rather than once
again fall into the hands of the In
human Turks.’
“The Armenians see themselves
again going to the slaughter with
not a hand in all the world raised

remarkably convenient. One half
water, one half Carnation is the
correct formula for cooking and

Armenians in London were ad
vised that the French troops begar
evacuation of Cilicia prior to Apri'
12. Armenians there had appealed
to the French premier not to with
draw the troops until an internation
j al force was organized to control
Turkey. It was stated that 150,000
Armenians had decided to abandon
Cilicia.
