AS WE SEE 1T.
BY 7. J. o'FLAHERTY

SCOYIET Russia bought 80 per cent
fOmore cotton in the United States
rthis year than last. s36,340,00 is the
Esum Of money the workers republic
:left in this country in return for
A24S,OSS bales of old emperor cotton.
iStrange how the inefficient, crazy
$godless, Russian government can dig
sup so much money? And stranger
Estill that an efficient, sane and godly
speople like the American business
emen would exchange their cotton for
sthe rubles of the Russian Bolshe-
sTiks? Very queer indeed.

& A s matter of fact it is very doubt
Aful if the Christian god is on the
nob these days. The preachers told
kus that Soviet Russia would go to the
4bow VOWS because its leaders did not
ybelieve in the Christian religion or
Ythe rights of property or anything
selse that we have been so accustom-
Sed to. A drought of unusual sever
City came along as II to bear out the
predictions of the prophets and in
aAddition to the capitalist blockade
sand the civil war, it was sufficient to
fbring about the death Of thousands
tthru famine. But Soviet Russia got
sover that hurdle.
sATOW. actual prosperity exists in
- Russia. Not that the government
rs content. The Soviet government
Ets not the kind to place a limit to
Ethe onward march of the working
Eclass. The workers of Russia know
sthat prosperity in their own country
'does not mean plenty for one class
sand bare existence for another, the
producing class. So they work and
plan to produce more, knowing that
the more they produce the more they
will have to consume. This is not
the case in countries governed by
the capitalists.
uERE, we are told to speed up and
- increase production and If we do
this, business will boom and every
body will have plenty. But it does
not work that way If a factory EN-.
ploys 200 workers and the boss sue
ceeds in convincing the workers that
they should Increase their efficiency
ten per cent, he can turn around and
lay off twenty men and without pay
ing the remaining $50 another nickel
more than they had been receiving,
he can produce just AS much as form
erly. Who gains by the speeding UP
of production? Not the workers buS
the boss.
WHAT would happen in Russia il
w similar number of workers In
creased their average output ten per
cent? The shop chairman would call
the workers together and discuss
whether they should reduce their
working hours or take ten per cent
more in salary. They might decide
to work one hour and twenty min
utes less per day or they might de-
eide to take the profits and start a
fund to add new battleship to their
Red Navy or. purchase a few ma
chimes for he Red Flying Fleet The
point is that they can do very much
as they damn please. That is the diff
ference between slavery under cap
italism and freedom under Soviet
rule.

those Of the British and Japanese

are playing the part of traitors to the
