"Uteres a Reason "forPostum PLENTY TO EAT AND PLENTY OF CLOTHES BUT HAVE NO MONEY. (By The Associated Press.) fi. Residents of lit v to eat and plea- according to 1 TOKIO, Apr. Vladivostok have pi ty of clothes but no money a correspondent of the Kokus.-ii News Agency who has just returned from that city. " Oood beef can be purchased f ir 20 cents a pound," he says and continues: "A good suit of clothes cost al one third what they do in America and other things in proportion. The only thing the Hople lack is money to spend. Coin has virtually disappeared from ciicnla lion and nobody will accept the paper notes. Wages, even of government em ployes, are paid in food, clothes and tickets for use with the public utilities. " The plentitiide of the necessities is explained by the fact that huge stores br.ve been imported into Vladivostok for' shipment into the interior and are be-' ii.g held there indefinitely. These stores are 1m ing drawn upon. i "A few miles out of Vladivostok to' the north conditions are verv different. There the population has neither money' nor supplies, and hunger and cdl have taken liberal tolls of the Russj.-nis. The Chita authorities have leon sending clamorous demands that Vladivostok' share her supplies with the rest of Si beria, a call to which the local authori ties have shown no disposition to re spond, even if the Japamse T.' in Id let' them. "These latter have liei n taking the stand that until it is certain tint Japan will not have to fight Chita they will not permit the exportation of anrthing that may later W used against the Japanese forces. "The lack of acceptable money in Vladivostok is resulting in business stag nation. Anyone with good money can buy anything he wants and cheaply but in Hs absence nothing can be sold.
