Gorky foresees 35 million Russian famine deaths
Maxim Gorky, visitor to Stockholm en route to Berlin, told The Associated Press he believes famine in Russia could claim 35,000,000 lives. He praised American relief but urged international aid on an American plan with safeguards to prevent theft, criticizing Hoover’s relief as imperfect and too trusting of the Soviet. He criticized France, excused Germany, and called Sweden’s aid only a drop. He noted unrest in Petrograd amid recent bloodshed, saying people cannot live on government bloodshed.
