sachusetts, electing both the Gov ernor and the U. S. Senatorship; and also winning a goodly portion of the representatives to the lower branch of Congress. Massachusetts has been veering toward the Dem- ocratic party with increaing mo- mentum, and it will be remember ed that the vote of the state was for Al Smith in 1928.
 When the Maryland senator speaks of Connecticut he cheers up the Democrats to the tenth power saying nothing at all that would please MT. Roraback.
 q felt that the Democrats in Connecticut would carry the state ticket to victory and would gain at least two representatives" is the view of Senator Tydings.
 This will cheer up Dean Cross no doubt. There will be some folks Tn Connecticut who do not share the Senator's views; but that doesn't worry the Senator and will not cause his dissenters to suffer from bad dreams.
 When the Maryland Senator says, however, that the Republican party is suffering from split over the prohibition issue and is under a handicap because the promised prosperity did not materialize. he unquestionably is correct.

biners. that mow, bind and thresh at once The farm is divided into 12 centers or units with 300 work CTS apiece. Each unit has its direc- tor and it's three assistant special ists, agriculture. mechanics and finance. These units are all con- nected by telephone and level auto- mobile roads.
 From the headquarters. where I passed a day and a night, motor ed out to unit No. 3 In a big truck that was to carry sacks of grain to the central elevator. Here some roadside diners" served as sleeping quarters for the men and women workers; there was the lnVarlaole clubhouse for games and reading, for movies lectures and classes, and several women were preparing sup per at the open air army kitchen. Water is very scarce on this farm so that wells have been dug and pumps placed every four Kilometres
 Wages are graded according to the qualifications of the workers, running from two to five roubles day Ga rouble equals 50 cents). In addition to this money wage, there were various cultural privileges; for example, free classes in mechanics and other subjects during the win ter months. Also the benefits or several kinds of social insurance. which would average about 25 per cent of the money wage Gold age insurance, accident, sickness, unem- ployment, child bearing. and the compulsory two weeks vacation with pay).-
 There were about 10 American expert engineers whom the govern ment had hired from our country at large salaries. With several of these I talked Most of the laborers were single men, migrants, following tho season to other parts of Russia. There was a nice school house for the children and they were going to erect another pre-school building for the little children to be cared for by trained kindergarteners and nurses, thus relieving the mothers Of any responsibility during the working hours of the day and in- surfing the best care and training for the children. They were hoping, also, to build cooperative kitchen which would still further reduce the labor of the women.
 Through the working day in Russia is eight hours as maxi mum, and averages about seven hours, it is permitted to work as long as 10 hours during the rush season on the farms. They also have two shifts a day and omit the customary fifth day of rest. But this overtime work is made up for later in the year.
 AS I stood on the top of the lofty grain tower and looked ou. over boundless fields in every di- rection, I could not but query to myself what will this scientifically managed farm. with others like it as more and more individual farms are being collectivized, mean in the not distant future to the American farms that wifi be competing in the worlds export markets?' Surely these two giants will soon be hav- ing a battle royal"

THE OBSER VER- Makes Random Observations
 On the City and Its People

our deductions are drawn in large part.
 The major fault we have to find with parades in this city is that there is too much emphasis on quantity and not enough on quality. A big parade is good enough, but smaller parade with more color and variety to it has a big advantage, retaining all the pleasing elements and losing the tiresomeness. By which we mean that a small group in uniform is several times as effec- tive as a long line of men or wom- en in street clothes, tiny patrol in step than a lengthy string of people stumbling along.
 Springfield has solved this prob lem in it's Fourth of July process sions. It offers prizes for the best groups, best bands, best floats, and even best costumes in one of the good old horrible" divisions. With this stimulus to prod them, the various societies, racial groups, and other units put time, thought, and effort in their entries. and this year Springfield turned out an hour-long parade which had not drab spot in its entire length.
 Boston had a different solution. arbitrarily ruling out no less than 5000 marchers because they were not considered up to the desire standard. Which left 35,000 march CTS, and no one left the sidelines during the almost six hours it took the parade to pass one spot.
 Some way might be found here of obtaining this effect for celebratory parades (that on Memorial Day. of course, is tribute to the dead vet erans and should hardly be made into gala festivaD. There are plen- ty of fraternal organizations in this city with pleasingly outfitted degree teams and others which could achieve uniformity of dress with al most no effort. while the great wealth of nationalities in the city provide a wonderful background for old world color which few cities in the country can hope to exceed.
 The Bay State has a big edge on anything seen around here in the. matter of floats, possibly because of prizes or natural rivalry which stim- uate the best efforts of the stores, factories, and fraternal bodies. While not turning out anything equalling those in the Beantown spectacle, this city used to show many beautiful creations in the days of the World War and there appears to be no reason why it could not do so again.
 And this city has musical organi- cations which compare with any. Even among the 96 bands and drum corps which marched in the gigan- tic Boston parade, there was none that compared in brilliance, snap, and marching appeal possessed by the Eddy-Glover post corps of this city. While the juvenile corps in this city compared more than favorably with any in the Boston turnout and the senior bands and corps here are about on a par with their Hub counterparts. Emphasis up that way seems to be on concert work-the flash needed in a parade is missing.
 So New Britain has an important start in several directions, and when the time comes for the next parade he'1, we should like to see some method taken of making the caliber as high as possible.
 The result would be a justifying

Soviet Competition iu World NfartS

Heretofore the Soviet govern ment of Russia has centered its ac- tivities on political propaganda in ar effort to "convert" the peoples or the so-called capitalistic nations tc communism. This made for bad feeling and has been thoroughly unsuccessful. It was effort wasted.
 The new method of making an international impression is in pro- cess of being carried out. Obvious, ly, this refers to the five-year plan of putting the industrial and agri- cultural resources of Russia on a modern basis.
 Two years of the five-year plan have elapsed. and in the main every thing is being carried out as an- ticipated. Skilled engineers from all the leading nations have been emr ployed to build huge power plants and to install the most modern ma- chinery in industrial plants. In short, the Russian nation is to be 'Fordized," and is progressing swiftly toward that consummation.
 What this will mean in the future no one knows If it be true, as many hold, that private plants can- not compete with publicly owped plants, what is to be said of the possibilities Of competition in the international markets by a nation- full of publicly owned plants.
 It will be possible for the indus trial nations to put up high tariff barriers against cheap Russian manufactured goods; but it must be remembered there are scores of lit and which buy all their manufac- tured supplies from the industrial nations These usually prefer to buy in the cheapest market. It is in these markets that Russian compe- tition may be felt most disadvan- tageously by the United States. Eng land, France, Germany and Italy.
 Russian competition is likely to be felt also in agriculture, for the way farms are being modernized and "collectivized' in Russian is nearly hair-raising, to read the re- ports of American engineers who have been employed to assist in the process.
 Everyone knows that the inter- national price of wheat is fixed by the demand in the world markets, and that even the price of Amer ican wheat in America reflects the price quoted in Liverpool, the wheatquoting center.
 When the Sovets get their state farms in operation they will be in position to be heard from in the world markets as never before
 In other words, their new plan Is to fight the other nations with their own weapons-trade.
 Just how the plans are being car ried out in the Soviets is vividly re- lated by George L. Paine. of Bos- ton, who spent some time visiting the biggest farm in the world" in southern Russia. His description. as follows appeared in the Boston Herald.
 "The largest farm in the world Is at Gigant, in south Russia near the Volga and the Don rivers. It is state- owned and run. It, started July, 1928, with 127,00O hectares q hec- tare equals ? 1-2 acres), of which 0,000 were sown in wheat. The fol- lowing year the planting covered 60,000 hectares: this year 11S,0O0. To deal with this enormous acreage they have bought from the United States 175 huge caterpillar tractors and 46 smaller ones, and 2So con-

It is said in the public prints that the other day a college pro- lessor was bilked out of a neat sum of money by a party who offered to sell him a quarter interest in d leading American advertising agen- cy. It seems strange indeed that educated persons appear as eager to buy interest in the Brooklyn bridge or the White House as un- tutored fellows who just know no better.

Comparing Local Parades With Those in Other Cities

Having recently been privileged to witness some of the most color full parades ever held in New Eng land, we have been unable to refrain from comparing them with the pro- sessions held in this city, and the result is none too favorable from a local standpoint, although in some respects New Britain comes out of the process with honor. Among the outstanding parades we have wit messed this summer are the Fourth of July march in Springfield, the parade in Bridgeport, and the two great processions held in conjunc- tion with Boston's tercentenary eel ebration, and it is from these that

DRYS AND A THIRD PARTY

Heretofore the Drys have been able to bedevil the two major par ties. They have made it possible for millions of Wet Republicans to vote for the Dry Republican ticket and it's candidates; and have made it possible for Dry Democrats those who adhered to Joffersonian principles strongly enough--to vote for Wet Democratic candidates.
 Vets and Drys in both parties submerged their beliefs on prohibi- ton under the party emblem.
 Matters are coming to a different pass. In some states particularly important states, the Republican party has begun to listen to Wet leaders and is adopting Wet plat forms.
 With both the Democratic and the Republican parties officially are more or less definitely Wet the Drys arc put into the position where, in order to continue to carry on, they are talking about going back where they started from to the formation of a Prohibi. ton party.

~ Zigzag Mental Processes H Making Roads Dangerous

ZlgZag driving Is usually preceded by zigzag thinking.
 Sometimes experience is required to impress on motorists the knowl- edge that control of all faculties is necessary to safety on the highway. And the experience, like all experi- ences, is expensive. Usually 1t costs $100 for the first lesson. It is cost ly schooling and apparently it en- lightens only those who pay the tut tion. All others think they can toy with fate and get away with it. Hundreds have learned that it can't be done.
 Time was when a drunken driver was met infrequently. Today-es- pecially at nighttime roads are death traps because of motorists who are partly under the influence of liquor. The situation has never had a parallel in the history of the nation. It is the outstanding trag- edy as the twentieth century hits its stride.
 Dizzy thinking begets dizzy driv- ing.

v In the old days before the Anti Saloon League was a power in the land and began it's campaign to sup port Dry candidates in any party as means of electing Drys to office, there was a Prohibition party
 This prohibition party had the support of all Prohibitionists: it ran candidates for President and other offices. It never elected any body.

 There could be only two subjects in forming such q party-the faint hope of being successful with it; and the hope to punish" the Re publican party for turning Wet.
