By JULIA BLANSHARD | Staff Writer for NEA Service | (Copyright, 1931, NEA Service, Inc.) If you lived in Russia— | You would live in a drab and shab-| by land but a land that is alert, vig-| orous and hopeful. You would have less to eat, less| space to live in, less to wear and less to spend than in America, But you! would not starve. You would not be unemployed. Everywhere is activity. You would live not for yourself alone, but for the State. Like it or not, that is Russia. I have just returned from my sec- ‘ond visit to the U. S. S. R.—the Union| of Socialist Soviet Republics. The first was in 1925. Arriving in Moscow again, the Al-| exandrovsky station seems almost empty of the groups of ragged fami-| Mes that used to huddle together,) sleeping on the concrete floor, wait- ing for their trains, The rough cob- blestones leading from the station have been replaced by a smooth, wide, asphalt street. New buildings are in progress all along. I see no hordes of beggars as there were six years ago. xe On the corner stands a cop. He is in uniform, He raises his hand as ‘we approach. It is a traffic cop and above him is a modern, automatic traffic signal.’ I see two autos and one truck the whole length of the street! But Russia is planning to have more, Street cars pass in a steady pro- cession, each car has one or even two trailers. Every one is jammed. Every ‘back platform has men, women and children hanging on. ‘Moscow has 2,500,000 population. It might house and transport 1,000,000 comfortably. I notice a motor ambulance pass ‘with a red cross on its side. A wo-| man in soiled white apron and with a kerchief round her head sits in- side. She is the interne. Some big pass. Suddenly as we turn into Kuznetsky Most (Moscow's Main Street) I sec a@ brand new, shiny red and gold hook and ladder, Moscow seems to have gone modern, at least in the ‘way it fights fires. But there is no fire. The hook and ladder rises in the middle of the street and firemen clamber aloft to erect a gigantic ban- ner. It says: “This is the way to address an en- Welope correctly.” There are huge il- Justrations, ee Everywhere are banners, banners of the Five-Year Plan. Moscow is like New York in war time. Her enemies are inefficiency and lazi- SIDEGLANCES - - - By George Clark ness. One sign, posted everywhere, gives the numbers 4—518. That means Russia aims to complete 518, new projects in four years, instead of five. If you -lived in Russia, nowhere would you see any counterpart of the American business man. | One day I walked into one of the biggest clothing factories and asked to see the manager. He was an earn- est young Communist workingman, in a gray cotton Russian blouse, patched shoes, his office was small and unpretentious, his desk was a small table. * * * I went with an American journal- ist to the biggest Moscow bank to) try to get American dollars for a check. We were shown into the president's office by the girl with a big tea ket- tle in her hand who was taking tea around for lunch. The president, a man dressed in the smock of a fac- tory worker, was undoing a sandwich he had brought from home, done up| in newspapers. With the Five-Year Plan forging ahead, there even seems to be a sense of humor developing. There are many anti-Communist jokes being bandied about. One of the most popular of these tells of the heated argument by a surgeon, an engineer and a Bol- shevik, over their respective value to society. “There ig no argument,” said the surgeon. “If I hadn't been there to make Eve out of Adam's rib, where would any of us have been?” “Oh,” said the engineer, “and if I hadn't been there to make order out of chaos, where would Adam and Eve have been?” “Well,” the Bolshevik raised his hands in modest gesture, “who, I ask you, who made chaos?” NOV. 7 IS ‘BEACH DAY” Beach, N.
