Co. Operation in Socialist
Community of Over 10000

Paris, Jan. 23-What co-opera-
tion can do for a community even
in the midst of a devastating war
has been shown by Pavillion-sous-
Bois, French town.
Since 1915, the town, which is a
Socialist community of 10000 peo-
pie, has owned and administered it's
meat and milk and all food supplies
ana has operated Il complete sys-
TEN OF municipal restaurants and
kitchens. The people cultivate their
fields in common and operate indus
tries, such as factory for military
uniforms, which, during the war, en-
ployed 700 women and made sub
stantial profits for the workers.
While the rest OF france went
through periods of profiteering and
famine in coal, milk and potatoes,
this community always had plenty at
normal prices. The surplus from
municipal eating-places and other ac-
tivities was SO large that a new town
hall was erected. The people proud
ly declare that they "have not one
sou of debt"

army and OF the working people of
other countries. But we have as yet
only paper declaration which is
still to be translated into deeds; be-
sides, the decision in itself has cer-
tain reservations which possibly are
intended to frllstrate it's effect.
II see in the mention of the CO.
operative Societies as the only chan
mel through which to carry on trade
an attempt to force upon Soviet Rus
sia certain changes i'll its economic
system. The whole export and i'm
port trade in Russia has been ma
tionalized, the Russian government
may Or may not find it convenient
to do foreign business through CO.
operative societies which are now
working in full harmony with other
soviet institutions, but naturally it
would resent having its choice of
agencies dictated to it from without
Besides, | cannot admit that trade
can be satisfactorily carried on be-
tween countris without full mutual
representation and a free postal and
telegraphic intercourse. If the Paris
decision does not imply such inter
course, it may be of little use to
Russia or to the world.
Il come to even more vital points:
The most important routes to sea-
ports are now under control by the
new border states, whose independ.
ence is recognized by the Soviet gov
ernment. If these states were per-
mitted to follow the demands of
their own people the use of these
routes and ports would certainly not
be denied. But if the allies continue
to compel the states to remain hos
tile they will still effect a blockade
of Russia.
THE so-called lifting of the
blockade will be less effective if the
policy of inciting Poland and the
other states to wage war upon Rus
sia is persisted in, for, although
great efforts will not be required to
repulse attacks, nevertheless mill
tary requirements will still have
priority over economic develop
ments."
Lansbury then asked:

sincerity of its intention,' replied
Litvinoff, land of the general policy
of the allies toward Russia. If, as
we are given to understand, this re-
mains unchanged, then the declara-
ton of the blockade's lifting is mere
ly lip service to the popular de-
mand."
Lityinoff ridiculed the scare raised
by Winston Churchill and the capital
ist press over the alleged Russian
designs against southern Asia.
Soviet nussia," he concluded,
has shown herself to be the pos
SCISSOR OF weapons that can blind the
weapons OF capitalist countries. She
will use them up to the hilt so long
as she is compelled to fight, but her
only longing is to stop fighting and
to be permitted to turn her attention
to her own affairs"

By a recent order Of the New York
commissioner of agriculture, all prac-
ticing veterinarians in that state are
required TO brand cattle found by them
to be affected with tuberculosis. The
order specifies that the brand shall
be the letter "T'' not less than two
nor more than three inches high and
on the left jaw.
The new regulation. which became
effective in March, was issued by Com
missioner Charles S. Wilson under au-
thority of the agricultural law. The
order applies to all bovine animals
within the limits of the state. Veter-
mary experts of the United States De
partment of Agriculture consider it
will be of great value to livestock
breeders of New York and also an
important step for any state to take
