LACK OF
KNOWLEDGE

People having a. superficial
knowledge of socialism fallaciously
maintain that we collectivists are
opposed to individual well-being.
They believe we are opposed to
three or four comfortable rooms,
nicely furnished, that we are op-
posed to flowers, music, cleanliness,
nice apparel. They believe that we
are sitting individuality; they i'm
agine that socialism is a grey
armory where everybody dresses
and lives lin, standard fashion.
Such conception of socialism
emanates from the petty bourgeois
intelligentsia which is relatively
privileged class and is therefore
incapable of conceiving a life more
colorful and more interesting.
GREAT POSSIBILITIES
Our Soviet reality offers great
possibilities for creative effort and
embodiment of millions of workers.
Yes, we are sitting individual en-
deayor if it is aimed toward ex-
ploitation. However, if its goal is
sound our life offers the greatest
opportunity for its development.
We are conducting a struggle
against individualism, but at the
same time offer full opportunity
for the flourishing of individuality.
I'VE are not grey, bored people
attired in standard uniform. Every
one of us has his individuality
which expresses itself in our Boil
shevist character and is tuned to
socialist construction.
ONE FOR ALL
ut is primarily because we sub
ject our individuality to the in
terest of the class that we enrich
ourselves spiritually and in ideals.
1t is because of this that we are
progressive people, foreign to bour-
geois savagery. 1t is because Of
this, we are people worthy OF our
epoch.
For this reason we are not OPP
posed to music, we are not opposed
to love, we are not opposed to
flowers or beautiful wearing apparel.
We are not ascetics and do not
preach asceticism. We are for a
full, rich, beautiful life"

WORKERS DO THEIR
OWN COST ACCOUNTING

'This is only one of the So
cialist forms Of labor we've deve-
loped' Feodor states. "Also workers
are forming their cost accounting
brigades." We talk with the girl
leader of one accounting brigade
in the repair department. She eX-
plains how their brigade drew up
its collective contract with the
management, and how they keep
close check on every item in the
cost of production. Their aim is
to carry out the same programme
of work with less ore, to economic
the precious machine oil, and SO
on. In the six months following
June, 1881, when the plant had
only 9 cost accounting brigades,
the number has grown to 500. Its
becoming as popular as our shock
brigade work" she says.
In these ways. many valuable
suggestions for improving methods
of production come about. In 1880,
the plants workers made 2,062 sug-
gestions, of which 440 we're applied
during that year, giving an economy
of 679,410 rubles, while another
483 were applied during the early
part of 1881 In the first half of
last year, 2,428 suggestions were
given, more than double that of the
same period for the preceding year.
Every worker, whose invention or
suggestion is found practical re-
ceives a reward, from the admins
tration, in the form of cash, and
free trips to Leningrad. pneipro-
stroy or Magnitogorsk. Above all,
he is rewarded by the social esteem
of his fellows, and the knowledge
that he has contributed to his
factory's advancement.

Soviet Russia has broken the

such things as kisses, neckties,

bit of fun along with her work.

by the youth of the land for some
months, but not until now have
the Soviet officials granted the
request.

was Alexander Kosariov, who
shocked followers by appearing

romance in our lives" was
echoed by thousands, until the
Government lifted its restrict

NO UNEMPLOYMENT

1--WE have no unemployment while
the number of jobless in the cap
italist countries is continually in
creasing. In the United States
there are over 100000 young
workers unemployed who receive
no aid from the government, in
Germany - 100000. Since 1929
unemployment in capitalist coun-
tries has increased fourfold. The
capitalist drive to lower the ma
terial level of the working class
! st11kes hardest upon the toiling
youth.
I'm our country the youth is not
only producing, but also managing
production, taking part in the gov
eminent, in scientific work, and

Every one of us has his indivi-
duality which expresses itself in
our Bolshevist character, and is
tuned to socialist construction.
Thus spoke Kosarev, secretary of
the Young Communist League of
the Soviet Union at the present
Seventh All-Union Conference of
the League in Moscow in stressing
the cultural achievements Of the
workers and farmers of the q. S.
S. r.
Kosarev declared:
I'VE are now on the threshold
Of the Second Five-Year Plan. We
have tremendous advances in heavy
industry and socialist agriculture;
we raised the material and cu1-
tural level of our workers and
peasants and are continuing our
socialist offensive on all fronts.
"Our task consists of preparing
cadres Especially trained groups
for the socialist offensive on all
fronts. The slogan of our work
must be: To live culturally and
work productivity. A struggle for
normal work without any vacilla-
ton, without 'partisanship' is the
wrong connotation Of the word
this is basically what we must at
tain in our shock-brigading and
socialist competition. This must be
the guide in our work. The crea-
ton of a comradely environment,
ideo-poltical education of our
youth, Pioneers and chilsren-
these are the chief problem which
must be discussed at our con-
ference"
After pointing out in detail the
progress made in raising the ma
terial well-being of the working
class, and with it that of the
working youth, Kosarev touched
upon the problems of cultural con-
struction.

had As per cent illiteracy all over
the Soviet Union, we have in 1882
no more than 10-15 per cent Hitter
acy. The number of workers ac-
quiring college education is in
creasing greatly. BY the end of
1882 we will have 100000 graduate
engineers and agronomists as COM
