Meanwhile the rest of the world was gravely concerned by the day-to-day increase of diplomatic tension between mighty, patient Russia and small, aggressive Japan. Last month Edouard Herriot of France reported on a visit he made last summer to Russia after which he nearly died of gastric disturbances and a kidney infection. Statesman Herriot pointed out that hostilities between Japanese and Russians, if not between Japan and Russia, have in fact commenced. Thus M.

"In Russia, I am happy to say, we have no famine and no cardinals" (TIME, Aug. 28). Soon afterward, on a goodwill visit to Russia, French ex Premier Edouard Herriot toured the regions of alleged starvation, pronounced Soviet famine a myth (TIME, Sept. 11). Moscow correspondents, denied free access to the areas in question at the time, were inclined to conclude from later visits that some starvation there had been.
