the campaign against all cases of
abuses. against all cases of distortion,
against Leftist efforts to place the
loan in an administrative manner"
The loan provisions offer strik-
ing contrast to the loans made by
capitalist governments. The Soviet
Government. despite its excellent
credit, pays liberal interest to its mil
lions of bondholders either in the
form of lottery prizes every hun
dred ruble bond is assured Of one
prize of ct least fifty rubles in the
space of ten years. or as ten per

lions of workers and peasants will
benefit by the loan
Even more striking is the disposal
Of money raised by the loan. Each

about Is percent of the entire sum
raised within its limits for local
needs, with the provision that the
money must be used for the needs

The misery among the refugees In
Saarbruken, Landsweiler, Gersweiler

about their taking on 50 percent
more men. Police were on guard at
the outer door that leads into the

there for about an hour and a half.
and this is what 1 saw and heard
Hundreds of workers came and
went. The police didn't allow any
man to enter the office Girls were
admitted but everyone was rejected.
Crowds of men on the sidewalk talked
to each other about having been laid
off recently, after they had been
woiling on speed-up for fifty hours
a week. Their wages had been eight,
nine and ten dollars a week.
Other men in the crowd told about
having worked in the shop for 35
and 40 years, only TO be thrown out
like a pair Of old shoes. They cursed
the factory into he'll and out again.
Later 1 had the chance to talk to
one of the big bosses of Winchester.
He told me the report about increas-
ing their employees about so per cent
was authentic. They would work on

After the ALI Union Kolkhoz Con-
gress and your speech about the need
for honest work to attain prosperity,
we made a drive against loaferS and
supporters of the kulaks and other
hostile elements. And things went
ahead,
This spring we admitted about
$4,000 individual peasants into kol-
khozes, and the stream of applics-
lions continues. This proves we are
on the right track.
Our kolkhozes have delivered the
Kolkhoz Shock Brigaders demanded.
Our road is clear, and bright is our
tomorrow of prosperous life
The letter from the Samara Con-
ference is Of similar content.
Modelling Farmers for Harvest
While marking the triumph Of the
spring sowing campaign, these con-
ferences also served as an occasion
for modifying the collective farmers
for wedding work blowing for winter
grain, and preparations for the har-
vest. With a huge crop ahead, all ef-
forts are being exerted to prevent de-
lay in harvesting.
Both Molotov and Kalinin, in their
speeches. warned of the need for the
utmost continued effort between now
and harvest time, pointing out that
the spring sowing is only half the
victory.
Splendid Outlook Ahead
On the basis Of the splendid spirit
I among the peasant masses, however,
coupled with better organization, bet
ter labor discipline, and the compe-
tent leadership Of the political sec
{ tons in the rural districts it is safe
to predict the continuation of the
high tide Of enthusiasm and collec-
tive teamwork
A good crop is bringing the peas
antry nearer the realization of the
goal set by Stain: Making all col
lective farmers prosperous" and the
industrial population will be assured
an ample supply of the basic food
stuffs.
In this first spring of the Second
/ Five Year-Plan the outlook is very
bright indeed for the toilers of the

Factories Are Ceners for Food Distribution the L. S. r.

operate their farms efficiently by
means of modern machinery, the
Combinat advances large sums of
money for Improvements. These four
coopkhOzes, organized only recently,
have raised this year sufficient Gu
cumbers and cabbages for the entire
factory population, about 40 per cent
of the needed supply of potatoes,
beets and carrots, about 100 tons of
supply.
There is a young hog husbandry
Il 200 hogs with $50 breeding SowS)
which will make about 1900 hogs
available for slaughter in the course
of this year, and which will materi-
ally improve the meat supply as the
business of hog raising develops. In
addition, the farm cooperatives have
gone in for rabbit raising on an ex-
tensiVe scale, and this, too, will add
to the meat supply.
An Auxiliary Source.
The four coopkhozes are by no
means the sole source of food supply
for the Gluhovo Combinat. Indeed,
the products of these farms are only
an auxiliary source, supplementing
the basic supply of the central dis
tributing organizations, the so-called
ZR.K. initials denoting the Closed
Workers Comparatively.
The latter supplies the workerks with
bread, sugar and other staples, as
well as with limited quantities Of
meats and fats. The products of the
cOopkhozeS are used mainly to sup
plement and to improve the food the
workers consume at the factory. With
the aid of this source of self-supply
1t is possible to serve the workers nu-
tritious hot lunches (including meat
every other day or so), for rs little as
IS kopeks meal. Some food items are
raised in sufficient quantities TO sup
ply the entire working population of
Gluhovo, and the prices at which the
housewives buy these products are in
variably small and well within the
family budget.
Garden Societies

MOSCOW. May %. - Conferences
of collective farm (kolkhoz) shock
brigaders to celebrate the success of
the spring sowing campaign were
held in Samara for the Central Volga
region and in Kazan for the Tartar
Soviet Republic, with Molotov pres
snt at Samara and Kalinin at Kazan.
The enthusiastic spirit and cheer
ing reports at these conferences tes-
tify to the huge success of the drive
for the realization Of Stains slogan
Make all collective farmers prosper
GUS.
Both the Central Volga region and
the Tartar Soviet Republic made an
excellent showing this spring, having
completed the sowing schedule in
record time, with the high quality of
work promising an excellent crop.
Grain Looks Good
The fine appearance Of the winter
grain adds to the bright outlook for
a bumper crop that promises to ex-
coed even the record crop of 1929
While collective farms and dis
tricts are tagging behind here and
there, sowing is proceeding excep-
tionally well throughout the country
with the schedule far ahead of last
year and the quality of work greatly
imp~sIed Most of all. the regions
that fell behind in 1882 are now re-
porting impressive success.

the fixed z.R.K. prices.
Besides the factory dining rooms,
where workers may get hot lunches
at nominal rates, there is also in Glu
hovo, closed workers restaurant
where workers and members of their
families may eat after working hours,
There. too, prices are fixed. For some
40 to so kopeks one can get satisfy
ing meal. About 1000 worers use
this restaurant daily. The use of the
factory dining room, or the restau-
rant. does not in any way affect the
allotment of foodstuffs the worker
gets at the zR.K.
Workers Do the Managing
There are no drawn, starved faces
among the workers of Gluhovo, such
as you find by the hundreds in any
industrial town in the United States.
The factory management cares foi.
the workers, organizes for them SUI
ficient supply of food, battles with the
difficulties of distribution, and in
creases the food resources through the
system of self -supply." The manage
ment of the factory is in the hands
of the workers themselves, and there
is no contradiction between the in
terests of the management and those
of the workers.
Even if there is an occasional short
age of certain foods, even if the work
ers have TO put up at times with a
scant diet, this condition is not a re-
suit OF exploitation, nor scant at
tention to the workers needs. Such
conditions are the accompanying
growing pains" of the socialist de-
velopment, and the workers realize it,
and are, by and large. happy in the
| realization that, through their very
| difficulties, they contribute 10 the
building Of the Socialist foundation,
! upon which life of comfort and
plenty will flourish The mass of the
| workers are proud OF the sacrifices
| they bring to the creation of Social
ism, Just as they are proud of their
rule which has made them masters OF
their own lives.
One more point before close. For a
worker at Gluhovo Tor anywhere in
the Soviet Union) it is no burden to
have a large family On the contrary
| the larger the workers family, the
better off he'll be. Every member OF
the family gets an allotment of food
stuffs at low prices and the children
also get such foodstuffs (milk, butter,
eggs, etc. as are not available In
sufficient quantities for the adults
There is a special communal dining
room for children, where the food is
particularly good. The dining room is
maintained at the expense Of the
community.
In the matter Of clothing and shoes
children come first. During the work
hours of the parents. their children
are cared for either at school where
they get hot lunch.S frce) or. il they
are too young to so to school, at the
nurseries and kindergartens.
