ABANDON PURELY
SOCIALIST PLANS
Nv JOSEPH sHAPLEN.

PETRoGRAD. March = (night) The
Bolsheviki are ready to abandon pure
" socialist program to insure the re-
construction OF Russia-politlcally. In
dustrially, and financially.
In this creative work they viii call on
the bourEeoisie and even the intelli-
Eencia, but they emphasize that this
must not be construed as indicating any
relaxation in their dictatorship.
This was made plain today in a state
ment to the United Press by A /. B.
Lunaeharsky. commissary OF education.
Have Gained Strength.
The governments policy Is under
going a change. due - the fact the
soviets' power is now sufficiently strong
to permit them to undertake creative
activity" Lunacharsky said.
'In order to accomplish this, we
must use all the powers of the eoun-
try. particularly the financial and
economic,
ave are willing to use the inteIli-
gence and creative sections of the
bourgoisie, which would not weaken
the soviets. because the bourgeoisle
are fosced to recognize our power. Al
ready they are joining willingly, con-
WINGED they lack the power to over
throw us. Likewise. the bourgeoisie
has been forced to surrender hope OF
German aid against US.

Was Trotsky's Ides.

Naturally, we are unable now to
devote ourselves to q purely Social
istic program. Our chief problem is
raising the country's productive pow
er. Leon TrotsISy first advanced this
view. The government now recognizes
it and we are strong enough to carry
IL out.
at may be thought that this II q
decided turn toward the right (con-
seravtive), but il is necessary for the
realization OF our aims.
"The workmen will support us be-
cause they understand II Is impossl-
BILE TO oppose socialism and accom-
plish a social revolution by confis-
cation OF separate enterprises.
"Our new position, however, isn't
an abandonment OF the proletariat's
dictatorship. We simply are seek
ing to unite all creative forces in
the country necessary for the re-
birth OF the nation"

VIII Accommodate 5000.

Col. W. F. Truby, commanding Of
ficer. has secured a force OF workmen
adequate to handle the extensive pro-
gram OF building. which within the
past year has enlarged Walter Reed
from capacity of about $50 patients
to 1,4OO, and which will produce per-
haps the most sizable military hos
pital in the United States, capable of
accommodating 5000 sick and
wounded.
The chief interest, of course, lies at
present in the fact that our injured
lighters are being transshipped here
from abroad. They are expected In q
increasing stream, and the
hospital Will be ready for them, with
from thirty to nifty new wards. a
corps OF perhaps 100 physicians ana
surgeons, and the best appliances in
existence for operative ana recon-
structive work.
DIfaeuIt- Cases ArrIvine. .i
The wounded from the expedItionary
force mostly present difficult problems
of surgery in the way OF preserving the
use of limbs. Some OF the cases are
simple. But in few months only the
most complicated and battling wounds
and hurts will be taken care of at
walter Reed. For this purpose, some
OF the Army Medical Corps best spe-
eialists are being assembled, the staff
comprising sixty at present.
Wonderful surgical feats will be
performed. Men will be fitted with
jaws, noses, and ears, and given arti-
ncal hands with WHICH they can write
and eat, and have grated upon
stripped leg and arm bones q mus
cular system approaching the
natural. All the 1nsrvels that have
been done by the French and British
surgeons will be equaled here.
