Efforts of Red Cross to Provide
Are Met With Suspicion, by
All Recipients.
SALEM. Or., Feb. 28. (Special.)
Education of the younff people eo
that the benefits and advantages of
a representative form of government
will be realized, elimination of re
bellions and renewed energy in pro
duction, are the three, things most
needed In restoring Russia to a place
of honor and respect among the other
nations of the world, in the opinion
of Miss Nell Sykes of Salem, who
returned Wednesday from Vladivos
tok and Russian island where she
passed more than a year administer
ing to the wants of refugee chil
dren under the direction of the
American Red Cross.
"The men of Russia are a lasy
class and let the women do tne
work. In the fields, shops and in
other branches of activity you will
find the women at the helm, while
the men too proud to work, are
found parading the streets armed
and ready to battle at the drop of
the hat." eaid Miss Sykes, in relating
her experiences.
Ilumaa Life Ckeapeaed.
: The so-called social revolutionists,
known to Americans as bolshevik,
have taken over the government. To
this class belongs practically the en
tire population of Russia, except the
very wealthy and nobility. Every
day in Vladivostok is one of excite
ment, and human life has been cheap
ened to the minimum.
The revolutionary army was the
best-dressed and finest-appearing
body of military men we encounterea
while overseas. These soldiers were
exceptionally kind and courteous to
the Americans. They frequently as
serted they desired a representative
form of government, but because of
the torn and uncertain conditions it
will require years to bring this
about."
During her stay at Russian island
Miss Sykes acted as dietitian and had
under her care more than 600 refugee
children brought there from Moscow
and Pelrograd, where typhus and
cholera were claiming thousands.
These children, robbed of a mother's
care and deprived of sufficient nour
ishment," said Miss Sykes, "were
given the personal attention or our
corps and later returned to the land
of their nativity healthy in body and
sound in mind." Sanitary conditions
in Russia, according to Miss Sykes,
are almost unknown, and it is due to
the lack of modern health regulations
that thousands upon thousands of peo
ple have died there during the last
few years. -
Geraany Supplies Food.
"Commercial industry Is almost at
a standstill in Russia," she said, "and
practically all of the food supplies
Uermany. This situation is not due
to the lark of. fertile lands, but isl
the natural consequence following de
struction or tne railroads and other
lines of transportation. Were there
railway lines to distribute the prod
ucts of the field and shop it would
not be long until the country could
reclaim itself and provide employ
ment for those who would toil.
"Although hardly believable, the
people of Russia do not seem to ap
predate the food and other supplies
distributed by the Red Cross for the
reason that there was no charge. The
recipients of this food harbor the
idea that some day they will be called
upon to compensate America for its
kindness, despite the fact that they
were told again and again that the
operations of the Red Cross were
gratis and not for the purpose of pro
ducing profits."
Miss Sykes was one of a number
of workers who returned to the
United States a few days ago on the
transport Great Northern.
Miss Sykes enlisted in the govern
ment service in June. 1919, and on
the 19th of that month sailed from
Seattle. Before entering the service
she taught In the Salem schools. She
is now visiting with her brother in
this city and probably will resume
her educational duties in the near
future.
