IVAN CRITICIZES BUT HE ALSO ADMIRES By STANLEY P. RICHARDSON : y Ansociated Press) MOSCOW, Feb. 2.—Ivan Ivano- ;vitch, the average soviet citizen, looks upon the United States with mixed feelings of friendly admira- tion and latent animosity, both of} which are inculcated in him by the ‘rigidly censored bolshevik press. | ‘Through the columns of his jdaily newspapers he has been} taught over a period of years a thigh regard and respect for Amer- | ican industrial efficiency and tech- nique, 1 What Ivan Reads { “Struggle for American tem- pos” and “Strive for American ef-} | ficiency” are common expressions} in their constant exhortations to the masses through the public prints to increase production and !improve quality of output. But the same columns almost daily have pictured to him the darkest side of the depression in | America as a shocking example jof what happens to the working man in the leading capitalist coun- try. The United States is held up to him as a nation ruled by a j handful of wealthy men who grind; the laboring masses under thcir heels. Uncle Sam As Capitalist The first note is the practical voice of the leadership of an in- dustrially backward country bend- ing all its energies to the acquisi- tion of sufficient experience and technical knowledge to overcome this handicap. 2 The second is the political voice of a party implacably opposed to the capitalistic system, of which it regards the United States as the most powerful representative. About America and its institu- tions, as well as about all the rest of the world, Ivan Ivanovitch is al- ; lowed to read only what the com- ; munist party which also is. the gévernment—wishes him to read. Recognition Brings Change Until America recognized the soviet government the bulk of the news he read about the United States in his own newspapers dealt | with bank failures, unemployment, | starvation, farm and labor strikes, |destruction of agricultural pro- duce, political corruption and ‘crime waves, The NRA was exposed as a “so- j cial democratic” program for the jcloser enslavement of the work- ers and petty bourgeoisie and the dollar's fight from the gold stand- ard heralded as a further sign of capitalistic decay. Since the establishment of nor- ; mal relations, however, the news- {papers here with one accord have |tefrained, temporarily at least, from publishing any unfavorable news or comment about America. In The Headlines President Roosevelt, as the in- stigator of the recognition nego-! iations; William C, Bullitt. Amer-! ica’s first ambassador to the So-! !viet Union, and Senator Borah, |the last two identified in the so-! jViet mind as leading proponents | | of recognition, are the chief Amer- |ican news personalities in the s viet press. H At the same time, William! Green and Matthew Wool of the ; “yellow American Federation of} | Labor, as that organization al-} j ways is referred to here; Repre- sentative Hamilton Fish and Grov- | jer Whalen are perhaps as well jknown to Ivan Ivanovitch as the others because the soviet newsna-| | pers never miss an. opportunity to jrefer to them slightingly as op-| ; ponents of the belshevik regime. | | WRITES IN STABLE VOLNEY, Eng.—Rev.
