Behind Russia's Latest Crisis

PEOPLE must eat And also they must be able
Ia connect with certain minimum of goods-things
to wear and use in the everyday job OF existing Up
against the brick wall of these simple but hoary facts,
Soviet Russia today faces one Of the most serious
domestic crises of her history.
There are bread lines in the towns and goods lines
in the country Insufficient foodStufs are finding their
way to the cities and insufficient manufactured
products finding their way to the farms Eternal
queues wind away from the doors Of the food shops
Of Moscow and other Russian cities, while in the
country the peasants stubbornly holding onto
their products because the village merchants are out
Of goods.
Hauling their wheat, rye and other cereals back
home they are turning their surplus grain into potent
samogon native moonshine, rather than sell it for
cash which will not buy the things they need.
So acquisitions under way, according to the
latest cables Soldiers are sezing grain stocks At
best however this will afford but temporary relief
Eventually it will hurt more than it will help, as
Russia should know from experience.
Being very human Russians simply will not break
their backs raising surplus products this
plus is to be taken from them without adequate
return. Farmers need pows medicines, needles,
thread frying pans cloth for Clothes tools and what
not and it is to buy these things that the Russian
peasant produces surplus.
If he is not to get these things, and his surplus
taken from him anyhow, next year thereu be no
surplus and the city folks can jolly well starve.
That is about the situation in Russia today.
Russia is facing fundamentals, the primitive and
near primitive requirements of the human The
most beautiful promises in the world little to
a with empty stomach and not much more
to a with a naked back Their wants are too
immediate
Very laudably Moscow today is looking forward
to the ideal of three-hour day. but the country
workers-the peasants, forming 80 per cent of the
populaton-hardly be expected to cheer Justify
for this, they seek in vain for necessities in the
towns. Already, the town workers are guaranteed
unbroken rest periods of forty-two hours week. two
weeks vacation year. unemployment does low rents
and other privileges, while they like farmers every
where, are at 1t from sun-up to shutdown, week in
and week out pretty much around the calendar.
Why, they ask, should they have to go with
out the things they need yet hand to the city worker
more food?
few years ago Russia faced a somewhat similar
situation. Moscow tried to tell the peasants what
to do with their surplus Millions went hungry and
many actually starved.
Trouble again lies ahead unless Moscow can find
way to speed her industries strike better
balance between city and farm.

Labor and the Courts

A plain-speaking, level-eyed man OF 50 who
was three times elected Governor of Michigan
and held that office creditably for six years,
stood before a Senate committee in Washing
ton this week and made this fat charge:
"Gentlemen, if you really want this case IN
nutshell, it is this: These men were framed
from the very minute they reached lndianap-
oils until they were sent to jail
The speaker was Ex-Governor A. j. Groes-
beck, now lawyer, summoned to Washington
to explain the injunction issued by Federal
Judge Robert G.. Baltzell in the indianapolis
street car strike of 1926 Groesbeck was at
torney at that time for two union organizers
sent to jail for 80 days for violation OF Judge
Baltzell's injunction
It might be difficult to believe Governor
Groesbeck's charge if it were not for the evil
dence he submitted before the committee. 1t
shows that in sixty days these two union Oh
GAMERS were arrested fifty times. 1t
shows that the two were careful not to advise
strike, but they were yanked up and sentenced
to Jail for violation of Judge Baltzells anti
strike Injunction after strike had been called
by Harry Boggs, local union president, who
later confessed that he detective in the
pay of the company.
eve constantly are preaching respect for
law and order, " Governor Groesbeck said, and
vet here is an instance of very fragrant abuse
Of power and authority which becomes known
to hundreds of thousands of citizens in detail.
Some authority should prevent this"
Governor Groesbeck is right. Among the
working classes there is an increasing lack OF
confidence in the fairness Of the courts in cases
where the interests of capital and labor con-
fict. 1t is a dangerous and growing develop
ment.
Congress now has before it the Shipstead
bill, sponsored by the American Federation OF
Labor. Either this bill or some other measure
that will curb the abuse of injunctions should
become law.

Steel Gun-Fodder

With the advancement OF science and the develop
ment Of machinery, one may begin to see when war
may become popular form of entertainment. Even
the general staff of the War Department IS coming
to the front with suggestions which may relieve war
of its horror.
1t now comes from that trained authority that we
might substitute tanks for shock troops and thus
save human flesh and blood. Sending steel tanks to
the front instead Of human infantry and cavalry is
recommended, and the experts ought to find a
cordial response from the public
Those who profit by war through selling ammuni-
ton and army supplies still can do business and
make money out Of war; but there won't be the same
necessity for wholesale murder. And We still can
keep war expensive.
In fact, wouldn't be really horrible if could
make machinery do the fighting and save flesh and
blood for better uses. 1t may become possible even
to send the electrically driven tanks against each
other by controlling them electrically from a dis
tanceSay, as far back the generals generally stay
mechanical man was exhibited the other day in
New York City. 1t has heart, no lungs no liver,
no lights. Every part Of 1t is made Of metal; and
Of course, it has no soul. 1t be operated from
a distance merely by talking to it,
A man sit in his ONCE, ring the phone and
tell the mechanical servant to turn on the furnace;
and the mechanical servant will obey orders-and
say Eyes, Boss"
Improvements will be made, naturally. So it is
possible that by the time the international politicians
get ready for the next world war we can make me-
chanical soldiers do the fighting the killing and get
ting killed.
There even may be invented mechanical horses,
and without either men horses it won't be neces-
Sary for rivers to red with blood or the world
to be filled with armlesS legleSs sghtless and BRAIN
less human remnants Of war, including widows and
orphans
The change from man to machinery ought not
to be so startling either According to the news re-
ports, this mechanical is almost human for the
machinery with which it does its thinking is located
in the stomach. 1t doesn't have to be FED however
except with little lubricating ol-and the Standard
OIL Company would like that
With these modern mechanical Inventions war
might become as entertaining and as bloodless as
movie And we can see no reason why mechanical
war shouldn't be as profitable as the old-fashoned
way Of settling differences Of opinion Anyhow, the
general staff appears to be headed in the right drec-
ton. And steel gufodder ought to be as popular as
human flesh and blood.

Think What You Wish
BY BRUCE CATION

Scientists at the University of Chicago are about
to begin series Of experiments designed to prove
that thinking is chemical process"
These men recently concluded long study of
nerve reactions, and agreed of them says, that
thought processes are no more mysterious than the
contraction Of a muscle" So now they are going to
make the human brain give up its last secrets.
The human race has progressed quite a distance
since the time when it believed that the soul left
the body each night so that If man were awakened
suddenly his soul could not get back to him but
would be lost wanderer forever
We have learned few things about our brains
and our bodies; longer do believe that emotions
generated in the heart or that impulses of anger
proceed from the spleen.
So, having emerged from blind ignorance, our
scientists see reason why they not solve the
ultimate mysteries. If man is a machine, why not
take him apart and see what makes him tick?
Easy, perhaps. 1t may be that the thoughts that
led to the writing of "AdonaS for instance were nc
mysterious than the chemical reaction, that
makes seidtz powders fizz when you pour water on
them.
But suppose that these scientists do lay bare the
machinery Of brains; what then? Will they be
able to prove that we are mere mechanical accidents
in needless universe ticking lives away In blind
obedience to powers that can not control?
Make your own answer. Your reply is as good as
another mans. We are entitled to believe what we
wish. Those who think that life is mere chemica
formula may think So and those who believe that
it is a strange, incomprehensble mystery, founded
in the great deeps and striving painfully upward in
obedience inner spark that deles all analysis
they. too. may think az they wish.
