This condition is described in

MOSCOW Oct. IS. Russin's struglo
to recover economic normalcy over-
shadows all political consideration and
Is the one subject which is command-
IriK the attention of Russians of all
parties and sects.
The contention of tho Bolshevists
that food and manufactured articles
had been hoarded has been justified
to a certain extent by tho sudden ap-
pearance upon the markets of nearly
all kinds of foodstuffs and notions.
Marwet stalls and smull shops open-
ed speedily after the declaration of free
trade In domestic commerce. Needles
pins thread nails toilet articles cloth
shoos tinned milk Australian corned
beef English 'bottled pickles pressed
caviar sugar cheese tea coffee bis-
cuits and various household article
and furniture made their appearances
suddenly.
Prices are so high that only the
wealthy as wealth goes in Russia to-
day can buy extensively. But the mar-
ket folks do such a lively .business that
the bolshevist claim about extensive
hoarding of money foreign us well us
1 Russian is also supported to u consid
erable extent.
Larger shops .have not opened ex-
tensively In the center of Moscow and
the small hatters shoedeulers and
clothiers have chiefly confined theli
activities to various street markets and
bazaars. As the weeks of free trade
drag on merchunts ure becoming more
secure in their position and have ap
parently lost ull fear lhat soviet gov-
eminent threw open the market for
the purpose of drawing goods out of
hiding and confiscating Ihem.
People Starve With Bread in Might
In one of the worst famine centers
on the Volga The Associated Press con
respondent saw hungry refugees starv-
ing within sight of markets where
bread meat and all sorts of food were
displayed in great quantities for sale
at prices entirely beyond the reach
of the average Russian peasunt.
"Why don't you seize tho food and
feed these people?" the corresiiondent
asked a provlnciul governor who was
not able to obtain enough food to give
40001) crphans a scanty ration.
"That would only make food scarc-
er." the governor replied. "It would
drive all the supplies back under cover
and the well-to-do would not be able
to buy. Consequently they would have
to depend on the government rations
and make tho situation wcrse. When
money and manufactured articles can
be exchanged legally for food the peas-
ants brlnjr their supplies into the mar-
kets and the burden which the govern
ment hus in collecting food is lessen-
ed." Russians who are in the worst plight
are the formerly well-to-do who have
not fcund employment under the soviet
government. Employes of the govern
ment ull get some rood consequently
all departments are greatly overstaffed
and the clamor for positions Is deafen
ing. Salaries are small and the scale
is o varied that it is impossible to
learn what the standard is. But em-
nloves work for food rather than for
monev. One woman clerk in' the for- j
eign office told tho correspondent that !
she received 7.000 rubles a month. A !
soldier employed ns guard at a gov-
ernment juest house says his wage if
'only 1.000 rubles a month with an al-
lowance it one pound of black bread
I two lumps of sugar and a limited
'amount of rice and cassia or touch
i iiuul made from r.'.illet and used by
the Russians as n sort of breakfast
I food. With bread selling at prices rang-
ing from 3000 to 7000 rubles a pound
according to quality thes?c salaries are
i ridiculous.
Workmen in sonic of the ante mobile
factories are reported to receive from
1.000000 to l.r.00000 rubles a mouth.
Others arc paid less paper money und
receive perquisites in tho way of man-
utactyied products food rent etc. So
in all tho maze of figures it is im
possible to reach any average wage or
salary.
Under the revised economic plan
fares must be paid on railways and
street cars. Charges are also to be
made for light telephones telegraph
end postage. Free rent is also disap-
pearing and renters are to be required
to keep up repairs at their own ex-
pense under the direction of house
committees.
These changes are increasing the dif-
ficulties of persons without incomes
and forcing gentle folks into the street
markets with their remaining furs
Jewelry silverware china linen and
clothing. However most of the old-
timo aristocracy has long ago learned
the ways of trade and it Is not the
hardship it once was to stand in the
Mreols and barter away one's personal
fffocts.
Former leisure Classes Work
Many of the former members of leis
ure c hisses have laken very naturally
to changed conditions and gone in for
trading on n strictly caiimerclal basis.
The only two restaurants In Moscow
where satisfactory meals are served
nre staffed by cultured women who
Fpeak German and French as fluently
as Russian and receive diners with
ull the courtesy found in better-class
drawing rooms. The manager of one
of these restaurants Is the wife of an
officer high in the bolshevist red army
who was formerly a colonel In the im-
perial army. Her husband's salary is
wholly inadequate to support her two
children and uged parents so she work-
ed for the government until the new
economic policy made It 'possible for
her to enter business of a more remun-
erative sort.
Krassinc and other economic experts
who are working out the new trade
policy make it plain that both retailers
and wholesalers are tree to engage in
domestic trade without government in-
terference. However all exporting and
importing are to bo through govern-
ment channels und us the government
is not inclined to expend largo sums
of money for purchases abroad it is
difficult to see where Russian mer-
chants are to get foreign articles after
the small stocks which have been un-
covered are exhausted.
Krasslno hopes to get foreign credits
through a consortium which will enable-
Russia to buy on long time or
to exchange raw ma'.eriuls for manu-
factured articles. But such negotiations
are slow and uncertain ami the bnkin-
Uiown railways make It Impossible to
i ussemble raw materiuls speedily. Conse-
quently it is difficult to understand the
optimism of bolshevist leaders who say
they believe Kngland will supply Rus-
sian markets very shor'.ly with the
great tea surplus which Is burdening
London dealers. They lire equally opti-
mistic about South American coffee
American und Canadian grain and oth-
tr food irroducts.
When tho correspondent asked Kras-
sine If he thouuht Russia's rcpudlatioti
of foreign debt and confiscation of the
property of foreigners in Russia would
be. much encouragement to capitalists
or foreign governments to mako lonns
to the soviet government ho replied:
"That's what always happens In rev-
olutions." "It didn't happen in (Scrmany."
"But Germany didn't really have a
revolution" Krassine retorted.
