SCIENCE PROGRESS 



address to the undersigned Professor Mikkola, Helsingfors, both parcels 

 of food and sums of money for the purchase of food for dispatch to Russia. 

 Our delegates (the undersigned Igelstrom and Mansikka) who have just 

 returned from Petrograd, inform us that the Russian scientists whom they 

 met in conference greeted them with enthusiasm as the first bearers of a 

 message from their colleagues in the civilised western countries. The Russian 

 scientists accept with the deepest gratitude help from abroad in the form of 

 food, clothing, and books, and are of opinion that our Committee is the most 

 suitable organisation for the role of intermediary. 



In virtue of the fact that in all that appertains to this work of mercy we 

 have succeeded in arriving at a complete understanding with the Soviet 

 Government, which has shown our delegates the utmost consideration, we 

 believe that we can guarantee that all parcels dispatched will reach their 

 destination.
