RUSSIA TODAY; WHAT CAN WE
LEARN FROM 1T, by Sherwood
Eddy, New York; Farrar and
Rinehart. Price $3.50.
Reviewed BY HARRY RAYMOND


Reviewed by HARRY RAYMOND
Qince the advent OF the New
Deal" there has arisen In Amer
lea a considerably large group Of
Roosevelt supporters who are at
tempting to point out that the
measures and aims Of the N. r. A.
are very similar to those OF the Sec
ond Five Year Plan Of Socialist
Construction in the Soviet Union
There are literary gentlemen who
hail the N, r. A. as an Intelligent
application of the Soviet principles
in the United States" Others, while
supporting the N. R. A.. admit its
failure and then proceed to pass out
what is considered In certain liberal
bourgeois circles as learned advice
on how to make the New Deal a
roaring success by injecting into it
large doses Of well shaken mixture
Of Soviet economy. Soviet jurispru-
dence and Soviet morality. The
most recent recruit to this latter
group Of rattle drained scribblers is
the well-known Sherwood Eddy, Y.
M. c. A. lecturer, writer of manv
hefty tones and now author of
Russia Today: What We Can
Learn From It."
Mr. Eddy, who has travelled far
and wide in the Soviet Union, who
has seen and recorded the develop
ments there during the past sixteen
years and has obviously read some
of the basic works of Marx, Engels,
Lenin and Stain, has been unable
nevertheless to purge his mind Of
the cobwebs of bourgeois and Chris
tan idealisn; and thus while prais-
ing many of the achievements of
the revolution he still makes the
ridiculous calculation that these
achievements can be accomplished
under capitalism, under the aegis
of the New Deal.
While Mr.. Eddy vigorously insists
that he is friend of the Soviet
Union land indeed he has been
heralded throughout the world as
such) his book makes it clear that
he does not deserve this title. For
on the first page of his book, where
he says that America can learn
much from the Soviet Union, Mr..
Eddy speaks Of the U. S. S. r. as a
competitor and an enemy:
We can -earn much from
a competitor, or even from an
enemy In war time, as we did dur
ing the last World War This
is not to suggest that Soviet Rus

 Bids for a large order of cement to be used by the city on all PWA projects in Juneau, were opened and read by City Clerk Henning. The Juneau Lumber Mill, G. E.

GOOD NEWS BAYS
 PLATINUM MINING
 BOOM, SAYS WOLI

Bringing a good report of the platinum placer mining from his district, Capt. Peter Wold of the M. s. United is Juneau visitor from Good News Bay.
 Over 2,600 ounces of the precious metal has been removed from the Good News Bay district by the Good News Mining Company, Cap tain Wold said. The season, of course, closed in October, but con- pany officials were pleased with the returns, indicating that they mined more platinum than they expected to take out.
 The season was late in starting this year because of the Pacific Coast longshoremen's strike, but next year, the district should yield a large amount of the metal, Cap- tain Wold explained.
 Good News Bay is developing rapidly and the visitor declared that an excellent airplane landing field had been cleared and that there was a trading store located there.

COUNCIL MOVES TO HELP. RELIEF
 WITH ROAD JOB
City Fathers Decide te Construct Dirt Fill
 Faulkner Named

Moving to eradicate as much oI Juneau's unemployment as possi- ble. the City Council, at it's second November meeting last night in the City Hall, decided to construct a road along Gastineau Avenue, be- tween Rawn Way and Ewing Street.
 This decision was the feature of A quiet session which saw little outside of routine business receiv- ing attention.
 Two propositions were presented the City Fathers at last nights gathering as a substitute for the old wooden trestle now used on Gastineau Avenue. One was that the city construct concrete bridge or trestle; the other was that a dirt road fill be used.
 Arguing that this latter proposal was better, Mayor Isadore Gold stein pointed out that it would take man-power and not costly mater ials to construct the road.
 The estimates on the bridge show cost far too high for the city to attempt at this time" the Mayor said. And, on the other hand, we now have many men out of work in the city. Construction of a road fill would use at least 25 men for a months time. That would be a considerable boost to- ward helping relief work"
 Approve Roadway
 Apparently the four councilmen present agreed with the Mayor, for Councilman George Rice moved that the Mayor be empowered to make all necessary preliminary ar engagements for the construction of such a roadway Councilman Wallis George seconded the motion Rice, George, William Beck and R. H. Beistline voted aye" There were no negative votes. Councilmen A. F. McKinnon and Henry Messer- schmidt were absent.
 Secondary in importance at last nights session, was the appoint ment of City Attorney H. L. Faulk- ner as City Magistrate during the temporary absence of A. W. Hen ming, who plans to leave the city shortly on a brief vacation.
 Mayor Goldstein announced that the prompt rock filling of Willough- by Avenue, after last Saturday $ sudden 50-mile gale had torn great gaps in that thoroughfare, had cost the city $600 The entire roadway damage was repaired in AS hours.
 Cos to the city of oher storm damage, principally at City Float, was not announced, as work is still being done on the location.
