Legion Meet At MAYNARD

Twenty members of the local post,
American Legion, gathered at May
nard last Friday night and held a
meeting with the members of the
Legion in that city. A very enjoyable
time was had, the payroll was signed
several times and Adjutant Mock's en-
core was sadly sung. Rousing talks
were made by Commander Decker and
Comrades Ruff, Bledsoe, Pringle, Mock,
Choate. Dunn and Baker. After the
eats. which followed the meeting, the
party returned to their homes.
At the meeting resolution com
mending the work of Representative
Oldheld and all the congressman and
senator's who stood behind the adjust
ed compensation bill, was passed by a
unanimous vote. The resolution is as
follows:
whereas, the ex-service men of the
World War in their fight for the re-
habitation of the wounded and for the
proper care of the men suffering from
diseases incurred or aggravated by SER
vice in the United States armed forces
during the said war have met with
many obstacles and favorable legisla-
tion has been impeded by determined
opposition, and
whereas the American Legion in its
fight for adjusted compensation has
been opposed by large moneyed inter
ests and the press which they control
and,
whereas in the Hon. w. A. 0ldheld,
congressman from this the Second Con
gressional District of the State of Ar
kansas, the American Legion and all
ex-service men have found a friend
and able supporter in their efforts
who has been and is ever ready to
raise his voice in the Congress of the
United States on behalf of the wound
ed and otherwise disabled of the
World War, and,
whereas, Mr.. Oldfield has intro
duced and sponsored bill in the Con
gress of the United States for the hos
pitalization of any veteran in Govern
ment hospitals, and through his high
position in Congress and his untiring
personal effects has on many occasions
provided relief for suffering veterans
Therefore. be it resolved by Meeks-
Johnston Post No. 6, of the American
Legion of Randolph County, Arkansas,
that we commend most heartily Mr..
Oldfield for his activities on behalf
of the ex-service men of the World
War, and extend to him our sincere
thanks for his loyal efforts and
achievements.
Done in open meeting on this April
20, 1924. Meeks-Johnston Post No. @,

pounds sterling in London, where the
furs were sold. 1t exacted not only
interest, but half of the profits on
such transactions. At the end of
year the cry of the industries led to
a relaxation of this policy; but mean
time the State Bank had gold re-
serve, which has since given Russia
a stable coinage, the first war-in-
jured country IN Europe to attain it.
Gold Std dard Possible.
The drastic policy of control of
exports and imports has also made the
gold standard of money possible in
Russia. No imports are allowed but
articles of primary necessity. Trac-
tors and trucks, for instance, may be
imported; but automobiles are classed,
not indeed as Injuries, but as articles
of secondary necessity. Only for i'm
portant government purposes may
they be imported into Russia. Even
necessary goods, such as cotton cloth
and shoes, are severely limited, if
they can be produced within Russia.
This policy is not only for the pur-
pose of protecting the revival of
war-ruined industries, but to improve
the balance of trade. AS result of
this policy, Russia's exports during
the past year have exceeded her i'm
ports by forty-fve million dollars, a
result which a year ago seemed in
credible in this war-ruined land. 1t
is this excess of exports over imports
which gives her a gold reserve of
American dollars and English pounds.
The rapid repairs in Russia's cities,
noticeable to anyone who has lived
there for two years, are achieved by
still another method. Two years ago,
the car lines of Moscow and Kiev
and other cities had practically ceased
running; the water works were so
ruined that water pressure came only
to the second floor in the hotel where
lived; the houses were incredibly
dilapidated. Now the Moscow car
line has built twenty-five miles of ex-
tensions, paid for from earnings; the
water pressure. is good thrtut the

low shoes for 50, and wide blue linen
for dress at sixty cents meter. A
little higher than New York prices,
and this in a country where wages
were still from $40 to SIS a month
and where all food products were
exclusively cheap.
The Swinging Pendulum.
The peasant was highly discomfort
ed at these prices, which in some re-
gions, displayed such great discrep-
ancy between the cost of grain and
the cost of manufactured articles that
he had to pay more to buy sacks for
his grain than the grain itself was
worth. The previous harvest, the
first good return after the great ia
mine, had paid the peasant well, for

cumulated her own reserves, winch,
altho far below her needs, yet put
her in a much better situation than
two years ago.
The case of the State Bank Illus
rates the drastic measures used in the
restoring of Russia. The bank start
ed two years ago with capital of
ten million dollars worth of paper;
year later it had twenty millions
worth of gold; now it is issuing one
hundred and forty millioS dollars
worth of bank notes, backed half by
gold and half by commercial paper.
For a year, the bank was allowed to
pursue "robber policy" towards the
industries. 1t loaned paper roubles
to the fur trusts, and took in return

city. Houses, streets and sidewalks
are repaired in every direction; in
one summer 100000 square yards Of
city paving in Moscow were repaired.
Yet Moscow had no taxes and no
possibility Of issuing city bonds, the
only two methods of finance known
to the modern city. She wanted city
loans, but the conferences at Genoa
and the Hague failed to secure them.
She has rebuilt herself by the rents
from her stores and market-booths,
which, since the revolution, are NUM-
cipal property. The large apartments
where people live do not yet pay
profitable rents to the city, but thru
various forms of contract their rents
provide for their own repairs and inn
provements. These contracts are
drawn in such form that it pays peO-
pie to repair quickly, since they get
the use of the improved property over
a term of years without other charge
than that of repairing.
State Control of Housing.
The state keeps ultimate legal own
ership of all land, renting it out on
certain terms Of taxes to peasants or
maintains ultimate legal title to build
ings, tho it may give up these rights
over long terms of years or leases.
The state keeps control Of basic trans
port and basic resources. And fin
ally, the state keeps rigid control of
exports and imports, far more rigid
than any tariff America has ever ex-
perienced, using this control to build
up some necessary industry, or to
establish a gold reserve thru favor
able balance of trade, or to allow
entrance, under pressure, for cheap
goods for the peasants.
The general policy of reconstruc-
ton remains the same; but the de-
tails may swing like pendulum every
six months or year, causing confusion
in the Interpretation of Russia by the
outside world. For Russia has not
the reserves of capital necessary to
provide for unbroken advance in any
one field; nor is she willing to sacri-
flee permanently her cotton industry,
for instance, to the peasants imme-
date need of cheap clothes. She
uses her reserves at the point where
strain seems greatest, and as soon as
either the bank or industry or agri-
culture seems capable of standing
extra pressure, the reserves are ruth
lessly removed to another weaker
point. Thus the whole country strug-
giles forward and will continue to do
so, even if she receives no aid from
any foreign land. Foreign aid would,
however, make the process of recon-
struction steady and without the
joIting strain which now accompanies
it.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-03-08

the price of food was relatively high,
at the cost of the city workers. Last
autumn the pendulum had swung in
the other direction.
The pendulum will swing back and
forth in this way for several years
to come until there is a reserve of
capital in Russia, either thru foreign
loans or thru the slower process of
gradual accumulation within the
country itself. There will be periodic
economic crises" each one a little
less severe than the one before. For
Russia is pulling herself up out of a
condition of utter exhaustion such as
no one in America can adequately Wis
ualize. 1t is enough to say that no
nation in the modern world ever car
ried on an extended war without bor-
rowing heavily on the future, in order
to pay for munitions and uniforms
and soldiers. But Russia, in the long
years of war that followed the revo-
luton, had no means of securing
loans or any sort of credits.
When peace at last came, and with
peace, the actual planning of indus
tiys WHICH LUX Jilc lOIm OF the new
economic policy, there was in all Rus
STA no reserve either of materials or
money, which could take the place of
credit.
Drastic Measures Used.
Only by drastic measures can in
dustries accumulate capital, since
they cannot borrow from abroad. For
the coming year it is quite possible
that state industries will again run
below cost in order to distribute
goods widely and enable the peasant
to produce. Thus jerkily, and throw
ing its reserves of strength to the
point of greatest strain, has Russia
managed to do phenomenal account
of reconstruction without any capital
to start with. 1t has been a forced
process, not one of choice. Two years
ago she was already offering terms
to foreign capital, in many ways
more profitable terms than she is Of
fering now. For now she has ac-

1923 CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE

The total amount received from the
seal sale this year is $l69.0S. We are
we'll pleased with this result when We
consider that many OF the schools
were closed on account Of sickness
during the Christmas season. Quite
q few pupils sold one hundred seal
but only one, Olney Green, was re
ported, who sold three hundred.
Just how the money Will be used
has not been decided If the Associa
tion will send a nurse into the county
for several weeks, as they did last
year, the whole amount will be sent
them. Ii not, fifty per cent Of til,
amount, our per capita share, will be
apportioned among the schools of II j
county.
The prize Of $1,000. offered to q 9
school selling the most seals. was won
by Miss Kingston S pupils in VIII e
River intermediate school. Thirty
seven pupils sold 29,l40 seals.
The second prize Of $500 goes t.
Miss Haugo's pupils in Wood. Fom
teen pupils sold 9,S70 seals.
