 mill. assumed to direct the operation

Un- der this Soviet arrangement of affairs, Mir. Aspden stated, wages increased l0O0 to 1915 per cent. But produc- ton slumped tremendously at first and finally ended.

People In Ecstasy

When his budget covering a year s estimated mill business was finished and rendered to the committee. the peopla were plunged into an ecstasy of happiness over the prospect of di- viding a two million ruble profit. Mind you, this was all on paper. being sim ply an estimate, which We were requir- ed to figure out for the Soviet head quarters at Moscow. As a matter of fact the mill never turned wheel, chiefly because there was no fuel, but also because there was no cotton te spin.
 During the latter part of his stay n Russia. Mir. Aspden fell under susn'- eion. which though groundless, led 10 his being tried for treason. He was found guilty and sentenced to death. In the meantime the people were ask ing that their mill committee spin haS and were angry that the committee had not found way Go Use the haN and keep the mills running.
 To spin flax on cotton textile ma. ehinery at profit. is impossible. But Mr. Aspden found way, by eomoin. ing cotton with the flax, and turned out several cops. His accomplishment was hailed by the people as remark able achievement, and because of what he had been able to do by his expert nents. the death sentence was remov- ed and he was allowed to live.

Food searee-People starve

Food became so scarce, Mr. Aspden stated that only those Bolshevik who were Ieaders had plenty to eat. In his own case and that of his sister, who was with him in Russia, he was forced at the last to eat sour cabbage and The stuff was not fit for pigs he asserted. but rather than starve. he ate it. Starvation stalks the country. Mir Aspden says.
 Mir. Aspden said he received an enormous salary as a member oi the Soviet mill committee, but that the money was no more good to him than to anyone else in Russia, many people using 1t to paper the walls.
 In 1921. he and his sister, together with other foreigners in Russia, were exchanged with the Allied Powers for Russian Bolsheviki prisoners, and ih tbis manner he succeeded in getting out of the country and finally back to his own eountry-E England.
