SOVIET RUSSIA TODAY
BY JULIUS KARSTEIN.

The pack is in full cry. Pope,
Cardinal, Hitler, Russian emigres,
White Guardists and capitalist press.
All in the same key; all in the same
lyrics. Starvation, cannibalism, and
terror are rampant" Where? In
the capitalist world where millions
are unemployed? Where strikes are
suppressed by gunner and militia?
Is it against the land Of MIRA where,
though millions are UNDERGRAD and
undernourished, cotton and wheat
crops are plowed under; five million
hogs destroyed to keep up pricesP
No! The pack is yowling against
the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union
where there is no private ownership
Of the tools of production; where the
workers and farmers are building a
classics society; where there is no
unemployment; where, instead of
blowing under their crops, they are
gathering a record harvest; where
there is social insurance; where there
are no pogroms; no lynchings.
Why this intensified campaign of
lies and provocation against the U.
S. s. r.?
Soviet Russia Today" has for its
purpose the combating of such lies
and distortions. By spreading ac-
curate information about socialist
construction in the Soviet Union it
counteracts the poison from the vii
lifiers Of the workers government Of
the U.S.SR.
In the September issue, just out,
Mary van Kleeck writes on MIRA
versus Piatiletka" Miss van Kleeck
is Director of Industrial Research
Of the Russell Sage Foundation. She
analyses the planned economy of the
Soviet Union and the Recovery Act
of the Roosevelt administration. She
attacks the MIRA as an attempt to
deny workers the right to strike and
to collective bargaining. MIRA, she
says, is desperate measure, designed
to check the downward rush of capt.
talism. 1t is stop-gap which can
not remedy the basic defects Of the
profit system nor can it prevent
crises. resulting from overproduction.
Capitalism and planned economy
are mutually exclusive" she declares.
Miss van Kleeck, who has studied
the Soviet planned economy at first
hand, praises the accomplishments
already realized and the high aims
of the second Five-Year Plan.
While tales of starving millions"
in Russia flood the press here and
abroad. Susan H. Woodruff, radio
lecturer for the Foreign Affairs
Forum, now in the famine area" can
find no trace of these starving people.
She writes about the record crop
harvested and the consequent i'm
provement in food distribution. The
results OF the first half year of the
second Five-Year Plan, she states,
are, like the achievements under the
first Five-Year Plan, Bolshevik
miracles.

The next meeting of the Workers
Short-Wave Club will be held at the
home of I. S. Milman, 1877 E. 10th
St., Apartment 5, the Bronx, on Thurs
day, September IA, at $3.50 PM. Sobel
secretary of the club, will speak on
Meters and Their Application. y
Workers are urged to take note OF
the new address.
In an effort to get clearer pro-
grams from the Soviet Union, the
Workers Short Wave Club has sent
the following letter, signed by M
Sobel, secretary, to the Central Radio
Station, RV59, Solianka IL, Moscow
Il am writing to you as the secre-
tary of the Workers Short Wave
Club, which was recently organized
here. The objective Of this club is
to receive the Soviet radio stations
especially RV59, regularly.
"At our meetings the members dis
cussed their experiences in receiving
RV59. The results were sad. Very
few picked 1T up, and those who did
could not pick it up very often.
1--WE therefore agreed to ask you to
put through a test from October is
to october 81 inclusive, or any other
convenient period, providing you in
form us of the date in advance. This
test should consist of program, re-
corded or otherwise, sent over on
your present wave-length, but at a
different time. We think that the
best hour for 50-meter reception
would be from 10000 GM.T. to .o3o0
G.MT. between 7 and 10 PM, East
ern Standard Time).
"W suggest this test because many
radio periodicals have expressed sur
prise that you can be heard at all in
the afternoon.
1.-THE German stations with their
Nazi propaganda come over here
very we'll in the evenings. We think
this itself would induce you to try
to have RV59 heard in the United
States more often on the less ex-
pensive sets.
1--WE hope that you will cooperate
with us in making this test, for we
are sure that thousands will be lis
tening to you"

Decadence of InteIlectuals
"Other Fires" concludes with a
lengthy description of the decadence
of the Russian intellectuals after the
failure of the revolution. Never an
intrinsic part of the revolutionary
movement. many of them move away
from it to toast their backs at other
fires''-the fires of religious faith and
sexual degeneracy.
Gorky's position in world literature
is so lofty and his popularity so wide
spread that most of his books have
been translated into English and is
sued by bourgeois publishers. Amer
lean workers and intellectuals should
read or re-read his volumes Of short
stories, his autobiographies, and his
epic novels like Mother" and "Deca-
dence," as well as "Bystander," "The

hand proletarian studies of pre-
revolutionary Russia, They will find
in these volumes many parallels to
their own situation in pre-revolution-
airy America.

OTHER FIRES, by Maxim Cork,
Appleton & Co. $500.
Reviewed by ALAN CALMER


"Other Fires" which was recently
translated into English, is the third
book of lengthy novel dealing with
Russia during the period Of the 1905
Revolution CHM Samghin, radi-
cal intellectual, is the central figure
Of all three volumes. However, he
really serves as camera eye through
which we observe the development of
the class struggle in Czarist Russia
around the turn of the century. In
the two earlier books, "Bystander"
and 1.-THE Magnet" Samghin is car
ried through the early stages Of the
Russian revolutionary movement,
from the beginning of working class
struggles to the revolutionary out
burst which followed the massacre of
thousands of workers who marched
to the Winter Palace on the Bloody
Sunday" of January %, 1905.
The narrative is resumed in "Other
Fires" which opens with an episode
OF the Moscow insurrection In Deem
Der Of the same year. During the
entire struggle, Gorky was in the
thick Of the fight, and his account
of this period rings unusually clear
and true. Samghin, who by this time
is mild Bolshevik sympathizer, wit
nesses the rise and destruction of a
workers barricade in his own street.
Through his observations and expe-
riences we trace the slow, stubborn
retreat Of the workers, and then the
spreading white terror which accom-
panied the period of reaction.
Spirit of the Masses
With perfect artistry Gorky indi-
Gates the fighting spirit of the
masses. Clim, the hesitating intellec-
