SENATOR TYDINGS
URGES AMERICANS
INVEST IN u. S. S. R.
Two Find Soviet Union
Prosperous and Happy

prosperous and is land OF unlimited
opportunities for American investors.
So declared Senator Willard E. Tyd-
ings of Maryland in an address be-
fore the Baltimore Advertising Club.
The senator who has just returned
from the Soviet Union gave the lie
direct to the paid American press
whose childish propaganda has been
constantly trained against the work
ers' and peasants republic.
Communism Here To Stay.
After declaring that in the Soviet
Union Communism with many people
is not a political and economic doc
trine but a religion, Tydings asserted
that the present government is bound
to survive. "Do not be misled by the
English stand on Russia" he urged.
1.-The people are sincerely trying to
work out their destiny in way which
gives hope for their country"
Tydings believes that a delegation
of sane American business men could
find out more about the really excel
lent condition within the Soviet Union
than they could discover by reading
volumes of inspired anti-Soviet re-
ports. "The opportunities for pros
perity and for making money within
Russia are unlimited" he said. "The
natural resources of the country are
as great as were those of America
when Columbus first landed. Ameri-
can interests are gov contracting for
the oil Of the country"
Urges Delegation.
"The truth about the Russian situa-
tion," Tydings added, could easily be
learned and made available for the
business men of this country by the
appointment of high-grade commit
tee to spend five or six months in
that country investigating conditions.
The results, l believe, would be well
worth the effort"
Teacher Enthusiastic.
Senator Tydings is not the only
enthusiastic American who has re-
Gently returned from the Soviet
Union. Annie M. Graves, who is just
back in this country after two years
as a teacher of English in the Mos
COW schools, declares that the world
has no adequate understanding of the
struggles and the tragedies thru
which the Russian revolution has suf-
fered on it's way towards Commun-
! ISM
people should realize" said Miss
Graves, that in the beginning the
Soviet government faced problems
never before encountered by any new
government" Russia has always
been a poor country" she added.
"And, when the Communists had
gained control and reconstruction
was begun, it was after the land had
been swept for years with wars, pes
thence and famines. They were sur
rounded by enemies and soldiers Of
the Allied armies were invading the
land on every side. To add to these
difficulties, other governments and
their financiers declared the Soviet
was founded on unsound economic
principles and refused to extend il
credit.
People Fought For Communism.
Thru all this the Russian leaders
and the Russian people have fought
their way, and today the people are
becoming happy and prosperous
again. There is no state religion but
the people enjoy a religious freedom
never before known in Russia.
To-day most of the people in Rus
STA believe in the Soviet. Those wht
do not believe in it do not want 4
counter-revolution. They dread sucl
an event above all things" Mis-
Graves said that she had often haC
occasion to be about the streets O
Russian cities late at night and tina
she was never molested in any wa!
and felt as safe as she would hav,
on the streets of an American town
An example of the choice lies will
which the capitalist press continual,
plies all classes in the United State
are the statements of Elizabeth Nit
chell of Duluth who. has just re
turned from the Far East via TIN
Soviet Union. There are no motto
cars in the Soviet Union, Miss Nit
chell declares, altho Henry Ford ha
been filling large Soviet Union or
ders for some time. Another Of Mis-
Mitchell's culled falsehoods is tina
the officials in the U. S. S. R. are al
Jews. But then Miss Mitchell think
that Leonard Wood was great MAJ
and gloats over his treatment of tn
Filipinos. What really incensed tn
American "lady" was the fact tina
; the Soviet Union officials believe
that anyone who could afford to tax
:. pleasure trip to the U. S. S. r. mus
be able to pay for it and charged &C
cordingly. She ceased to love the I
S. S. r. when she discovered that tn
government tax would be IA per cen
and not 10 per cent of her hotel bill
