TOLSTOI'S HOME
 WILL BE SAVED
Daughter Heads Movement to
 Preserve It From Decay

Yasnaya Polyana, Russia, Dec. 16.- Miss Alexandra folstoi, the favorite daughter of Count Leo Tostoi, the novelist and chief literary figure in Russia during the half century pre- ,eding his death in 1910, is the lead er of the movement to save the great writer's home from decay and to make here on the estate a popular university where lovers of Tolstoi's s writings and creed may come, study and even settle indefinitely.
 Miss TolstOis Statement.
 "Tolstoi's was a universal mind. He does not belong to Russia entirely said the famous writer's daughter, land for that reason l feel that Eng land France and the United States have an interest in this historic place, The Soviet government is doing what 1t can to preserve the home and main tain it as a place for pilgrims but 1t hasn't the funds. Any way, the ma terials must come from abroad, and l have been promised by Kalenin, chairman of the Central Executive committee of all the Soviets, that con tributions of materials or money will not be interfcred with or diverted"
 In Russia During War.
 Miss Tolstoi, who is a vigorous type of woman and bears physical mad in tellectual resemblance to her father, has been in Russia since the general war. She was a field nurse during the war, and after the revloution, has been imprisoned several times, once for eight months in the Lubianka dungeons of Moscow, and was arrest ed during the summer for a few hours as a member of the famine com mittee.

 TaIk--Lenine'S Statement

Riga, Iatvia, Dec. 16.-Russian peasants and laborers tired of prom ises of a Communist utopia, and have come to the show me- stage, Pre- mier Nikolai Lenine said in a recent speech before a congress of Political Educational Workers at Moscow.
 Text Of Speech Received.
 The full text of this sensational i speech, parts of which relating to | I.enine's admissions of economic fail ure were cabled from Moscow at the time it was delivered, has just reach ed Riga, as reported by the official Moscow pravda.
 Time TO Show People.
 There was a time" Lenine said, when declarations, proclamations, decreeS etc, were necessary. We have had plenty of these There was a time when it was necessary to show the people what we wanted to build. But can We continue to show and only tell the people what we want to build No! Even the simplest laborer Will then scoff at us, saying: Y ou are al ways talking of what you want to do, but show us now what you can do, And if you can do nothing, then go to the devil" And he will be right"
 Russians Like Half Savages.
 Speaking about the absence of edu- cation and the prevailing iliiteracy of the Russian population, Lenine said that the very fact that commission Mad to be appointed for the liquida- ton of iliteracy shows, to say 1t as gently as possible, that we are some thing like half -savages. For in civ il2ed country, it would be consider ed a shame to create commissions for the liquidation of iliteracy. In other countries they have schools where t,ey liquidate illteracy. They teach, in the first place, to read and write. As long as this Fundamental problem is not solved, it is ridiculous to talk of a new economic policy
 Masses Must Help Rulers.
 I.enine said that Soviet laws and propaganda were good, but could not succeed until the masses of people helped the regime.
 Several hundred thousand "obnoX- ious and useless Communists he said should be expelled from the partv. Russia" he continued, should have culture which will teach us to fight red tape, corruption and bribery. Experience has shown that politically educated state knows no bribery, whereas with us, bribery is rampant"
 I.enine said the government was facing three principal foes, first, Communist arrogance, second, Hitter acy and third, corruption and brl- l bery
