Soviet Russia faces the approaching
winter with the grim problem of foo.
as the supreme test of power. From
the far east to the Finish frontier,
four thousand miles of undisputed ter

threateningly. The Associated Press
correspondent has just crossed the

for crossing Siberia. He is' now en

Everywhere the cry is for food and

At the end of the second year the

Greater success seems to have at
