THE IDGESKOM IN FIGURES.
(Jew lull Correspondence Borenu)
Moscow— The figured which your
correspondent litis lieen able to obtain
in the headquarters of the Idgeskoni
hero give a very exact notion of the
sources from which the Idgeskoni has
received tin* wlierewitlinl to carry on
its work since its inception in July,
15120.
In 1020 the Idgeskoni received
$72,000 from the American Joint I>i-S
--lrihution Coinmittte ami 100.000 gold
roubles, or approximately $50,000
from the People's Coflimlssinriot for
Social Aid. In the same year the
Joint forwarded to the Idgeskoni 1125
poods of clothing. <$2X4 poods of food,
it rid 520 poods of modicnnts. In addi
tion to the above mentiontd sum re
ceived rom the one Government com
inislarnt, tlio Idgesko was granted
free trnnsiHirtation facilities for all
its personnel and aterials. and much
total and raw materials, hut tht value
of these is nowhere ascertainable,
owing to the fact* that under the old
economic system no correct accounts
of such disbursements in kind were
kept by the Government because the
beneficiary was not expected to rec
ompense the Government.
In 15)22. tin* (’oinmissiarat for Social
Aid came to the Idgeskom’s assist
ance to tin* extent of 43.808 gold rou
bles. One sees thus that the money
subsidies from the Govemmtnt de
creased considerably, only 50.000 gold
roubles, in round figures, having been
received during the twelve tnon'hs of
1021. as against 100.000 roubles dur
ing the six months in 1020. The Gov
ernment. however: continued to} sup
ply the Idgeskoni \vi h products of all
kinds in unknown quantities.
Since the coming of the New Eco
nomic Policy (XEP) in 15)22. all gov
ernment . aid to the Idgeskoni has
ceased* The books of the central
Idgeskoni here show that $55,000 has
been received from the Joint of tht
money nssigu«*d by the Joint, and
j £37,994 from the American Idgeskoni.
No other cash remittances are re
' corded, but much food has been
I granted by the A. It. A. and the Joint,
land the hitter has granted rather
large subsidies for the Institutions of
| the Tdgeskom. ■ At present the work
1 * : f the Idgeskoni ran he said to de
pend first on the Joint, then on the
American Lansmanschnfton. and fin
ally pn the American Idgeskoni.
A summary shows that of the
'.<275)000 received by the Idgesko in
rash since it began work in 15)20.
31X5 000 eauie from America. Of this.
$130,000 came from J. I>. C. Trans
ports of “food, clothing, medicaments,
etc., from America amounted to
1100.20.°, noods.
