43. The outside Powers, by their contributions to organizations for feeding
the Eussian youth, are piously supporting this sinister policy of the Bolsheviks,
who are thus left unhampered to prosecute and finance their subversive
operations abroad.
44. The compulsory distribution of famine refugees among the villages
is partly economic, and partly a policy of expediency for the Bolshevik official
who does not want the trouble of the municipal or other organized maintenance
of these poor people. Moreover, by lessening the daily tale of corpses, in the
towns he is saved that indictment of his administration .which such witnesses,
cluttering the trains, railway stations and streets, proclaim.
