Harbin, March 1.
Eastern Siberia is daily becoming more and more Red, whilst even in the Chinese Eastern Railway territory moderate Russians are becoming more and more antagonistic towards the Whites.
Indications are that tne Soviets are now more moderate in their doings, and therefore the greater bulk of the people living in the Russian Far East are' willing to try to live under their rule. From the news that is trickle ing through from western Siberia, ie would appear that as far as Irkutsk the. Soviet authorities are no longer committing excesses} against the majority of the population, though the rich and_speculators are by no means having their own way now. Efforts are being made to clear up somewhat the! economical pandemonium that has. existed for the past two years, and as a result prices for all kinds of necessities and goods have fallen considerably, for the selling price of everything is being strictly controlled.
