SOVIET LIFTS BAN Decree Enables Survivors of ; Old Regime to Buy Ade quate Supplies. By the Associated Press. MOSCOW, May 23.—The Soviet gov emment had unbent today for the first time its stern attitude toward the survivors of the old Czarist regime by issuing a decree which will make it less difficult for them to secure ade quate food supplies. Under the new decree the Czarists, who make up about 5 per cent of the population, will be permitted to buy food and manufactured goods at the co-operative stores—after Communists and others have been taken care of. They will not be given ration cards, however, and consequently will not be able to buy restricted necessities, like bread, meat, butter and sugar. The present shortage of other commodities, coupled with the condition that they must wait until others ere served, means that the decree will bring them little immediate practical relief, but the psychological effect already was quite plain. The “declassed” population, com posed chiefly of former landowners, traders, clergymen and some sections of the intelligentsia, has never been ad mitted to full citizenship. This de prived them of many privileges, chief of which was the right to buy neces sities at reasonable prices, since only Communists in good standing were admitted to the co-operative stores. The “declassed,” therefore, were forced to buy at the government's •'commercial" stores, where the prices are 10 to 100 per cent higher. Recent Soviet decrees promised a greater abundance of good supplies by permitting farmers to sell a greater portion of their surplus produce direct to co-operative tradesmen after the obligations to the government had been fulfilled. • DELAWARE CLUBWOMEN TO MEET AT REHOBOTH — District, Virginia and Maryland Speakers Will Address Convention.
