Gratitude

Colonel William N. Haskell, director of the American Belief Administration, returned to the U. S. Said he on landing: " For the moment I am the emissary of the Russian people, charged by them to express to America their gratitude for the colossal help given them in time of need. Russia is no paradise yet, by a long way. There is plenty of reconstruction and welfare work still for the charitably inclined. But it is no longer famine stricken. America has cleaned up the great plague spot of the world."
