The rising Russian generation
born before the revolution is
growing up, living a strange
kind of theatricalized life, sur
rounded by propagandist influ-
ences. The young men and
women who go into the factories
find themselves under an iron
discipline, listening continually
to the slogan, Complete the
Five-Year Plan in Four Years"
Steps are taken to eradicate any
trace of family-life influence
that may be left in them. The
same force brings them into
physical culture groups Of the
Pro1etarian Sports Society. Con-
tinually, they are called upon to
take part in demonstrations,
marching side by side with the
Red Army and with other fac
tory workers. listening to inter
minable propaganda speeches.
Many of the girls live freely and
openly with the young men,
deSpising morals as bourgeois"

has received an interesting let.
ter from the President in reply
to an interesting letter the
Senator had written. The cor
respondence has all the ear
marks of plan. The Senator,
editing a farm paper, and pos
ing as a spokesman of the
farmers, manages usually to
support any Administration of
his own party, even when its
policies are destructive of farm
interest.
When wheat went down to
Is cents it must have been en-
barrassing to the Senator, as
we'll as to the President. And
so the Senator wrote the Presi-
dent that the moratorium for
Germany has been a great
blessing to the American
farmer. OF course, as we who
read the papers all know, the
moratorium was uOG even LIlc
salvation of Germany. But still
the President writes the Sen
ator that he is right in the
assumption that the plight OF
the Kansas farmer has been
due to the plight of Germany
and Central Europe, and that
now all will be all right.
Indeed, he goes so far as to
say that the major problem Of
the American farmer has been
solved by the moratorium!

But if she and Central Eu-

that must be bought as well,
there Is no assurance that she
will turn up her nose at the
offerings of the Russian wheat

is optimism, indeed. which be-

going to put the American
