MOSCOW, U. S. S. R.. December 10, 1884.
~ USSIA! I've seen Russia and now can
believe in miracles, for there is no
l. word to describe the picture of Russia
N today, other than miraculous And I
do not mean that the picture is mirac-
ulOusly beautiful In many ways 1t is
unbeevaby ugly. stand and look at 1t with
fascinated and astonished eyes but for nothing
on earth would I personally, under the present
scheme of things endure the enslavement and
tyranny which its citizens must suffer who have
been saved according to the gospel of Karl
Marx.
The old CZarist government gained the de-
testation Of its subjects because of its notorious
despotism. But compared to the government
of today, life under the Car was free as
Spring breeze The wonder of wonders is the
ease and power with which this new system of
super-despotism works. handful Of labor
leaders consumed with communistic theory and
fanatical ZEAL sit high within the Kremlin
walls their eyes fixed on a book of political and
social notions, and proceed to experiment on
the lives and souls of 160, 900 900 human beings,
with as much impersonal detachment as
bacteriologist experiments with germs.
In the Observation-Disclosures proletarian lead
ers who had seized control of Russia, said:
'"The Car has proved himself the greatest
obstacle in the way of our lifting the masses
of workers out of their slough of ignorance and
misery. First of all, then, if we are to improve
his four daughters and his young son. Perhaps
bit brutal, but you've got to be tough to get
anywhere"
A ND so the Gear and his entire family were
u shot.
"And the aristocrats and intellgentsia must
60 next. They'll never take to our ideas about
exalting the factory workers and moujiks to
the throne. That means about million
murders, imprisonrhents, exiles, of our nobility
and gentle people, of OUR educators, religious
leaders, scientists, professors, merchants, archi
tects, diplomats fact, Of all civilized Russian
citizens
So this million were murdered, imprisoned
or exiled.
Now said the leaders, I'VE can accomplish
something for the masses. Now, rid OF the
bourgeosie, will give the masses the great
privilege of being made over to conform with
our sacred theories OF course, some of the
stubborn ones may not like their new medicine.
Evening star., 1934-12-23

But we know what's good for them-they don't.
So wen lock them m. From now on, no Russian
can leave Russia. If he escapes We will perse-
cute his mother and father and brother and
sister and send them to Siberian prisons. We
will declare him public enemy and sentence
him to be shot when he comes home. All this
will teach the rebel lesson"
So the frontier was inclosed by q steel ring
Of bullets and bayonets No Russian, how
ever desperate, can run away from the social
experiment.
Now we've got EN-" said the leaders. What
Is our first vivisection operation to be-? First
we will amputate the church."
labor leader waved his hand and abolished
the church.
The family must 60 next. Family unity Is
Q capitalistic and bourgeois custom dangerous
to communism. Our men and women must be
able to love whom they please, when they
please marry and divorce on impulse. Our
state will care for the children, and do u
better than their parents"
So the family abolished, too.
Money" they said, "is the source Of all
evil. Money was the support Of the gentry
and intelligentsia. We must destroy all private
wealth and all means Of accumulating 1t, lest
these old anti-social classes come back"
Money went next Everybody was, and still is,
allowed to share the same property together.
But we must have industry and commerce
to keep our people employed. We must sell our
wheat and buy machinery We haven't enough
wheat for our own needs but we've nothing
else to export, so we must seize the peasants
private food supplies"
The supplies were seized. Five million people
starved to death from 1929 to 1881. There was
no mourning for them-mourning would be
only sentimentalty, cardinal m among
BOlsheviks. The sacrifice had to be made for
political expediency. The wheat was sold and
machinery secured to make guns and tanks
with which to defend the dictatorship.
There is one last and very important gap to
be closed to complete our despotism," said the
leaders I'VE must use every means in our
power to protect new theories and our new
liberated masses from foreign capitaliStic in
f1uences. No information, no counter -revolu-
tionary enlightenment, from the world outside
must come in. Russia must be q sealed box.
Only then can We be complete masters. No
foreign books not of communistic character
shall cross OUR borders no newspapers or
magazines that might reveal the false happ-

ness of other people living under the enemy's
system will be tolerated. The movies, the
theater, school books, must be vigorously CEN
sored. Nothing must be allowed to emerge
that does not glorify the working man and
damn the other classes
THAT is exactly what the Bolshevik leaders
! have done. After II years of communism
not one single movie can be shown that is not
political propaganda, that does not sermonze.
The entire industry has become merely a stick
with which to beat the capitalists. The results
are SO appallingly dull that even the most
wild-eyed communists attend only from a sense
Cf duty.
Evening star., 1934-12-23

The newspapers are only echoes of the die
tatorship, mouthing proletarian slogans. Most
of the nom Russian news concerns the fearful
atrocities murders, torturings being inflicted
on the sacred persons of the working men in
England and America by the capitalists
stories that insult the intelligence of 6-year-
old. Strikes, race wars unemployment,
given strident headlines. Any story about the
security and prosperity of the vast majority Of
working men in America is avoided like q
barrel Of rattleSnakeS.
The great Soviet Library, the pride of the
nation, housing 6,00O,O 900 books, is a giaring
case Of this intellectual enslavement 1t shelters,
supposedly, the accumulated wisdom Of the
world. 1t should be the chief foundation Of
enlightenment and learning without respect
to creed, political party nationality. But
when sought there history of the life and
times of Nicholas II of Russia from 1900 to
1917, the librarian was Mortified What! Gar
Nicholas! That personification of capitalism
that enemy Of the workers! most certainly
could not have such book. Why didn't I
choose one of the hundreds of histories of the
glorious communistic revolution instead?
Even the great National Library, the last
bulwark Of intellectual liberty was gagged
The same warping of education, the same
binding to all else but proletarian prejudices
and principles, goes straight down to the
kindergarten.
I asked q 15-year-old schooboy what they
were taught in school about America and West
ern Europe.
I'VE are taught the history of the communis-
tic revolutionary movement in America and
England" he said.
mo other history" I asked
History is just the lives of kings and capital
lists and generals. There is nothing in it about
the working classes"
DO you learn geography in your school?
Do you know where Argentina is?
He had never heard of Argentina Nor was
any other foreign country more than a vague
name. Such worldly knowledge as foreign
geography is not allowed even to the working
classes
This class Is the favored claSs-the new
aristocracy. If you toll with your hands maxi
ing boilers, stoking furnaces digging bitches,
you inherit the earth in Russia. You are
housed in new apartments, fed bountifully,
hosptaled, schooled. amused insured, adored by
the government. But if you work as a clerk
in q state bank or a state bureau or if you
teach school or write for the newspapers-n

The Nerves.


!" HE clever brain of man has in
vented a telegraph system
which is a great deal like the
i nervous system inside his own
body, though it is on larger
scale. Through wires which cover
miles and thousands of miles, instead
of inches and feet. he sends messages
over the earth and under the sea.
There are central offices" in the
nervous system chiefly the brain and
the spinal cord, and these send out
and receive messages. Nerves reach
ing out from the spinal cord are thin
white threads covered by tubes OF a
fatty nature, very much as the metal
telegraph wires are covered by rubber
tubes and other substance.
The stomach, the heart and the
glands are controlled by nerves which
extend from the spinal cord. There
Is no power Of will" in the conscious
brain which can tell the walls of the
heart or stomach to move or to stop
moving.
There are many nerves, however,
which are carried along through the
spinal cord but are under the power
of our thoughts. Last week I told
how the muscles are ordered to act by
the brain; and most muscles must be
reached by nerves passing by way Of
the spinal cord.
Some nerve ibers pass directly
from the brain to the muscles which
they control, for example those which
control the movements Of the eyes.
There are millions of nerve cells
in the brain. and the miscroscope
shows that they branch out in a most
interesting manner. The branches
do not join to make continuous wires,
but they overlap; and nerve impulses
jump from one branch to another.

II hunting. Usually when they
L \ start out Reddy goes one way
and Mrs. Reddy another and
1t is without any special plan. But
this time they were starting out to-
gether and it was with a carefully
worked out plan. If it succeeded
well, 1t would be just too bad for the
young Rabbit who had come to live
in the Old Pasture and who foolishly
thought he knew all there was to
know.
We'll catch him." promised Reddy,
but we can't do it by ordinary hunt
ing. We can't move fast enough In
this deep, soft snow. We have got to
outwit him. If he knew as much as
does Old Jed Thumper, that gray old
Rabbit who has lived here even longer
lnan we have, | wouldn't waste any
time on him. He thinks he does. but
he doesn't. Unless all signs fail he is
one of those Mr.. Kncw-it-alls and

I hope you are right" said Mrs
Reddy, and sighed, for she was very,
very hungry. 1t was so long since she
had had anything to eat that she was
really weak.
Il know am right" replied Reddy
Since this soft snow fell he has been
roaming about wherever he takes
notion to go instead of keeping close
to bramble-tangles as Old Jed Thum-
per does. Because he can run on this
snow instead of having to wade
through it as we do, he knows that we
cannot run him down. He knows that
II one of us should happen his way
he can kick up his heels, flirt that
silly tail Of his and hop off without
even hurrylng. That is what he did
when I found him, and he did it in
the most provoking way as if he en-
loyed it. He'll do the same thing
again and he'll have such a good time
doing it that it will not enter his silly
head that he has any one to watch
out for but me. l know Just where
he is unless he has moved since I was
over that way, and 1 doubt if he has,
for he was doing in his form under
