Russia Aids Famine Relief With Vast Public Gifts
Reports from famine districts say crops may yield a good harvest by September but hardship will persist for months. Russia has funded relief with about 109 million dollars in loans and around 350 million in government and public gifts, the Czars private 10 million included. A Treasury lottery raised 75 million, attracting wealthy buyers, while some individuals lose but feel their funds aid the famine. Consul General Crawford estimates private gifts total about 175 million dollars, vastly surpassing American contributions.
