II left my office about b

DROVE EIGHT HOURS
"A car came up and the two
men pushed me into the back

rough but did not hurt me or
show any arms.

they took the hood from my
head and told me to sign four
notes asking for the ransom. /
signed the notes.
"They then put goggles, with
cotton in the lenses, over my

IT'S DIFFERENT IN
SOVIET UNION

IN the Soviet Union the SITUATION
S entirely different. Every worker
who needs medical treatment or
Tacation at a rest home gets it
.ree of charge. And he gets his
wages while he is at the hospital or
snitarium too. He is insured against
Unemployment, against accident,
ickness, old age. He does not have
% worry about the future because
he knows the Soviet Government,
his government, will take care of him
and he need never be dependent
upon charity. that he never will have
10 beg for bread.
The social insurance budget Of the
Soviet Union increased during the
first Five Year Plan from 500 mil
ion dollars annually to over 2 bill
ion dollars in 1882. And the Soviet
worker does not contribute one penny
to this enormous fund-the govern
nent and trade unions and indus
trial organizations pay all the costs.
Among the benefits included in
the comprehensive social insurance
plan of the U.S.SR. is vacation
on pay; the finest palaces of the
former Russian aristocracy are now
used as vacation resorts, rest homes
and sanitariums for workers and
farmers. Social insurance also in
cludes provision for expectant
mothers; pregnant woman worker
in a factory gets weeks before and
weeks after confinement. And the
best that medical science can offer
is available for the mother and her
baby to en- tire that every Soviet
child gets the best start in life pos
sible
Permanently disabled workers and
invalids are put on a pension-not
as charity, but as a right. But in
addition whole network of indus
tries has grown up in the Soviet
Union which are managed and oper-
ated by disabled workers. In the
Moscow province alone last year the
value of the output of the disabled
workers amounted to so million dol
lars. Thus even those crippled by
the World War and Civil War, and
victims of accidents, etc, are given
a chance TO help in the building of
Socialism.
AS a result of extensive health
protection measures by the social in
surance organizations, there is an
ever decreasing rate of sickness
among Soviet workers and farmers
The death rate is less than half of
what it was in tsarist Russia. One
billion dollars was spent in 1882 to
protect the health OF Soviet workers,
as part Of the social insurance
scheme. The money previously spent
on unemployment insurance (68 mil
! lion dollars In 1920 Is now used to
extend the hospital system and for
general Improvement OF the insured
workers.
Since 1880 unemployment has been
abolished In the first workers re-
public. American workers are fight
ing for unemployment insurance
Soviet workers have it but no longer
need 1t for in the workers father
land there is an acute shortage Of
labor for Socialist construction.
