England and Germany. Militant
collectiviSm, for the time being, is
producing far greater results than
rugged individualism.
The Russian leaders never tire
in pointing out this contrast. but
they have to be reminded about
the appalling waste, the lack of
coordination and the absence of
liberty among the Russian people.
The leaders deserve great credit
for what they have accomplished
during the last 10 years but in
boaSting over the contrast be-
tween present conditions in the
capitalistic world and in socialiS-
tic Russia they overlook the fact
that the capitalistic world is suf-
tering from over-production, or
better still, maldiStribution of
goods, whereas Russia is still Suf-
fering from a lack Of production
which will take her decades to
overcome:
The real test between the in
dividualiStic and collective systems
will come after Russia has an
adequate production. Then we
shall see whether capitalism with
private initiative and its wasteful
competition can compete with the
momentum of profitless planned
industry operated by a bureau
cracy.

Scent Sandwiches Go Big

It must be the depression. High

before, The price is S cents.
In the opinion of Miss Jose

children have been forced to eat
the inexpensive edible in place of
more elaborate dishes because of
the economic distress.
More than 1900 sandwiches are
sold each day this year at Miss

sales.
Between 1,700 and 1000 chill

And how the students like soup!
Miss Crayford estimates that from
80 to so gallons of soup are con
sumed daily. They have a crav-
ing for mashed potatoes and
gravy, too. But it's mostly the
boys. The girls eat less fattening

U.S.. Has More Air Pilots
Than Any F1Ue PO1Uers

They are men who have passed
rigid flying tests under Commerce
Department air regulations, who
can fly an airplane, transport
goods and personnel by air.
Army officials regard the civil.
ian pilots as an important reserve
in time of war.
Under war conditions, statistics
revealed, these pilots would be al
located to ITS training centers
throughout the country, and put
through a rigid course in combat
flying.
The Washington times., 1931-10-12

Back Of the fighting flying
corps the United States has to-
day more airplane pilots than
have the five other important air
powers combined.
There are 16,709 civilian pilots
in the United States, according to
figures held authentic by Govern
ment officials. The British en-
pire, ranking second, lists 3.427
pilots. Russia has 2,1O6, Ger.
many 902, France 888, Japan $50,
and Italy 613.
These pilots are not trained

that is, is taking more leaves out
of the capitaliStic book, just as
the European and American
countries are being forced by
economic pressure to adopt so
cialistic doctrines of the Left de-
spite protestations of the con-
trary.
If these tendencies continue,
with individualism getting more
opportunity in Russia and collec-
tivism increasing in the rest Of
the world, the two systems, now
widely separated may eventually,
perhaps in three or four decades,
draw so close that the peoples Of
the U. S. A. and the U. S. S. R.
will find they have so much in
common that it will be better to
cooperate than to try to destroy
each other.
Russia wants to trade with the
rest of the world today. In fact
last year she bought $50, ,000, ,OOO
worth of American goods and
sold us only $30,00O.000 worth.
She is paying American engineers,
technical advisers and managers
about $1O,OOO,00O a year and ex-
poets to hire more.
American Methods Model
American methods are model
methods for the Russians, and
the standard of living of the
American class is the goal her
leaders have set for all the Rus
sian people in the Utopian
classics" society. Whether this
desire to trade with the United
States and the rest of the world
will continue depends on too
many contingencies for the writer
to hazard a guess. At present
Russia is trading and wants to
continue to trade with the rest
of the world.
The economic and military
menace" of Russia, if it exists
at all, is merely in the embryo
stage. No one can zee the ap-
palling waste, the lack Of CO.
ordination, the archaic transport
system, the low quality of fin
iShed goods. the lack Of adequate
management, the low Intelligence
of the workers and peasants
without realizing that it will be
many years, perhaps generations,
before Russians attain the eff
cheney and living standards of
preSentday Americans.
Hopes to Be a Menace"
In official exhortations to their
own people, however. the leaders
give ample evidence that Russia
hopes to be an economic and
military menace" to the CAPT.
talistic world, and the young
Russians talk confidently about
the world revolution, but in their
acts these same leaders give
weightier evidence that the tend
ency is toward the right.
Russia is not suffering from
the So-called worldwide depres-
sion. Planned economy is sue
ceeding. Never before has she
seen such construction in new
apartment and industrial plants
in Moscow, in the Ford automo-
bile plant at. Nizni-Novgorod, in
the tractor plants at ChelyabinSk,
Stalingrad and Kharkov, in the
blast furnaces at Magnetagorsk,
in the oil fields in the Caucasus,
in the coal mines in the Don and
Kuznetz basins, in the State and
collective farms in the Ukraine,
in the hydro-electric and indus
trial plants at DnieproStroy and
in railroad building everywhere.
