TASK lOT Ju6 new mdbL6TS, anu lueSo
are gradually wrecking the old So
called homes and replacing them with
tiny houses, that are monuments to
the revolution, and will eventually
prove to be bulwarks against the old
inhuman, insanitary and disease-rid-
den little cells.
1t is a tribute to the ability and
capacity of the Workers Republic
that they can rely upon sufficient
discipline to enable them to mobilize
domestic armies to march and attack
this octopus.
If you go to Crosby or Baku, the
story simply changes from coal and
salt to oil. But the avowed inten-
ton, everywhere discernible, to re-
duce illiteracy and shocking housing
conditions, becomes more and more
apparent the further you move for
ward.
Then Schlerovka and Zemo-Avchati
give an overwhelming and penetrating
glance into the efforts being made to
provide energy-giving electrical pow
er to huge slices of the earth's terri
tory, piercing the natural darkness
on a more modern basis with the ap-
plication of scientific methods on an
ever-increasing scale.
Thus, to destroy the old and erect
the new on these ruins is the every
where accepted task Of all.
AS showing the intensity Of inter
est in the undertakings, and the GER
tainty Of final success, at one of the
mines in the Donetz. very good old
trade union colleague Of mine remark
ed to Russian comrade that whilst
admitting the enormous difficulties
which were being so successfully sur
mounted, there was much of print
tive nature about the workings. "Quite
true" replied our good Russian
friend, "but never forget these are
ours"
But Chatura is clearly the greatest
example Of working class determine
ton and capacity. Four years ago
the place was in an extremely raw
state, but l remember reporting in
England the importance of what
saw on that occasion. have now
seen it a second time and am bound
to say that it certainly ranks among
the highest efforts of the Soviet Re
public.
The use and exploitation of peat as
an energy-raiser on the scale provid-
ed at Chatura is Of itself a unique
thing, but the layout of the place, the
fine buildings, the well-planned hous-
ing facilities for the workers, together
with the clubs, schools, and restaur-
ants-all this will, when the plant is
completed, make the Chatura cleo
tricity plant one of the finest heal
thiest, and most self-contained indus
trial plants in the world.
Here is shown the mighty difference
between capitalist and working class
effort to deal with a great problem.
A mere glance would compel the
most hide-bound anti-Soviet croaker
to admit that even the users Of strong
revolutionary phrases can handle pow
erful economic undertakings with
wonderful success.
Here the technical men are given
free and full play within the scheme
for the display of scientific skill, a
freedom they cannot get under capt.

whole maze of capitalist contradic-
tons, or rather, the remnants of them.
You see the incessant struggle going
ahead to master the physical and men
tai defects inherited from capitalism.
You can see the bruises and dinges
battered upon the well-worn machin-
cry, the frightful conditions under
which the minions and concession
aires of czardom freed their victims
to work, breed, feed, sleep and ex-
pire amid tears of blood and disgust
ing modes Of disease and insanitary
conditions.
Everywhere you can discern the de-
predations of the treacherous invad-
er, whether in frock coat or khaki
suits. Then having defeated the in
yader you sense the miraculous and
herculean tasks being performed to
diminish the evils which have scar
red a one-time beautiful and undulat-
ing country side. A yawning black
and bleak cavity seems to gasp at the
human presence.
The filthy relics left by capitalism

The Truth About Soviet Russia

talism, unless it pays the capitalist:
here is a question OF social service
and consequently. the best is asked
for, expected, and conceded.
These great undertakings at Chat
ura, SchleroVka, zemo-Avchati, i'm
press nae considerably; each is a
great piece of social and economic
organization, and yet they. and sew
eral others, are just part Of one and
the same idea.
Soviet Russia will yet feel more
proud of its adventures in the field
of electricity. In England, we are still
talking about it, but you in Russia
are doing it; and Russia is poor finan-
cially, whilst England is relatively
rich, again financially.
Anyway, in this direction you are
fast approaching genuine and salts
factory communal rewards, while we
in England are still considering
whether it will pay the capitalists to
exploit our natural resources.
MY time will not permit me to
launch into further detail, it is suffi-
cient for my purpose to say that am
profoundly impressed at the wondrous
advances made since my visit of
1920.
The head almost reels at the thought
Of the energy which has been con-
sumed in repelling the attacks of al
most every country in the world;
sometimes avowed and open, at other
times by the most insidious and .das-
tardly manner. Then there was the
famine period, the almost daily at
tacks in the worlds newspapers, and
the constant and persistent building
up of Grass calumny, lying and dis
tortion, every atom Of which was per-
petrated in the ever present hope that
it would bring about the fall Of Sow
let Russia These fools forget that
in the end they have done more to
popularize Russia than they win ever
know. More and more, we are be-
ginning to know Russia; the inquiries
by ordinary workers in Great Britain
are a constantly increasing stream,
despite all calumnies.
And so am led to Georgia, which
has had its full share OF capitalist at
tention, and. if may say so, alleged
socialist attention too.
When I was about to enter Georgia
kept CHANGING around to see if any
Georgians still survived. The Bri-
fish press during the last six months
has demonstrated fond capitalist
like love for Georgia; it has. in fact,
emptied Georgia Of its entire popula-
ton.
Day by day, and week by week, we
we're told how munities, risings, tor
lures, shootings, murder, rapine, and
slaughter was being perpetrated I'M
der Bolshevik rule in Georgia. The
most hair-raising paragraphs were
stuck in the mid-columns Of the Bri-
fish press.
They knew all this was untrue, yet
they hoped it really was true, because
all their other weapons against Sow
iet Russia had fallen from their hands.
1t appeared to me at sight, that the
trouble is clearly one in which those
who have been compelled to disgorge
their plumber feel annoyed.

on December 3, which took nearly
three hours to pass . given point

Der Of the British working class am
proud, indeed. to have had this op-
portunity to associate with that great
mass Of Georgian workers which l
witnessed and mixed with recently.
Despite all the lying, despite all the
charlatanry, chicanery, and humbug,
the Georgia workers are in posses
sion, and, therefore. long life and
success to them! Keep out your old
masters. keep in yourselves.
1t will be our duty on returning to
Britain to prosecute, with ever in
creasing energy, our promise to in
form the British working class of
your great work in Georgia. and this,
too, also applies to the U. s. s. R.

WASHINGTON LETTER


Continued from Page 1,
The administration is carrying
out its policy of selling the Am
erican Merchant Marine to the
inland voters. Commissioners of
the U. S. Shipping Board are now
touring the middle west speak
ing before farm and industrial
organizations. One of the prin-
cipal reasons why the Merchant
Marine legislation has failed is
the apathetic attitude of Con-
gressional delegations from these
inland states. The middle west
has always felt that the Atlantic
and Pacific seaboards were the
only beneficiaries interested in
water-borne commerce. The Ship
ping Board representatives are
telling the people of the inland
states that the primary need of
the farmer is a broadening of the
markets. They say:
These markets must be found
and reached by means of a Mer-
chant Marine, either a foreign
Merchant Marine, or the farm
er's own"
1t will require an intensive
campaign to win the necessary
votes from that section of the
country. 1t will be recalled that
Roosevelt had a similar problem
on his hands when the question
of the American Merchant Ma
rine was up during his admins
tration.
