Being Organized
American IHdustrialists To
Visit Manufacturing Cen
ters in u. s. S. R.

American industry will make one
Of its first official visits to the land
Of Socialist construction when dele
gates from various trade groups and
technical societies embark on the
Trade Promotion Tour that is now
being organized by the American
Russian Chamber of Commerce.
The purpose Of this mission Is to
enable American executives, manu-
facturers, industriausts and bank
ers to study at first hand the great
new mining and manufacturing cen
ters which the U.SSR. has devel-
oped within the past few years, with
a view to future trade.
During the course Of their travels
through the Soviet Union, special
emphasis will be given to the new
industrial centers recently estab-
lished in Siberia and the Ural
Mountain region - Magnitorgorsk,
sometimes called the Gary Of Rus
STA" -; NoYosibirsk; CheIyabinsk,
where there Is located an enormous
tractor plant; Novo-K uznetsk in the
great copper and coal mine region
near the Altai Mountains and
Sverdlovsk, one of the chief indus
trial centers OF Siberia.
The group viii travel over 5000
miles into Siberia, visiting those
parts Of old Russia and Siberia or
dinarily inaccessible to the traveller.
There they will inspect plants and
industrial establishments not gen
orally seen by visitors from abroad
The delegates will make this Jour-
ney into Siberia on train of In
ternational sleeping. dining and
lounge cars, and will be able to
spend every night in comfort in
their own compartments. Upon
their return to Moscow at the end

tails Of the tour are being arranged
and handled by the American Ex-
press Company. Special stop-over
arrangements in either the U.SSR.,

Visitors Impressed
By SOriet Hotels

Returning visitors from the q. S.
S. r. are giving the lie to the once
prevalent rtumor that accomnloda-
tions IN the larger hostelries Of Mos
COW, Leningrad and other leading
Soviet cities are not up to the
standards Of Europe and America.
That the quarters. furnishings and
services available in many Soviet
hotels are all that could be desired
is best illustrated by the remarks Of
two school teachers who have re-
turned from the Workers Father
land.
"A great crystal chandelier gloved
overhead, golden clock stood on
marble mantel-piece, a cloisonne
vase three feet high stood in one
corner and wedgewood was on the
dressing table. Beautiful paintings
hung from the walls and the room
was carpeted with an antique Box
hars. We felt very much as If we
we're sleeping in the Metropolitan
Museum" they said.
Moscow has four hotels used BY
foreign visitors: the Metropole, the
National Hotel, the Savoy and the
new Moscow. Leading hotels in
other cities Of the U.S.S.R. include
the London in Odessa, the Orient
in Tifis, the Continental in Kiev,
the Beningrad in Yalta, the Hotel
Europe in Leningrad and the As
toria in Kharkov. While much
strictly Russian food is in evidence
on the menus, familiar French, Ger
man and English dishes are ple1ti-
full.

workers may now combine a sum-
mer of European and Soviet travel

GEOLOGY, psychology, areonautics,
economics and Russian. All instr1lc-
economics and Russian. All instruc-
tion of faculty of Soviet profess
sors and instructors, with an adj
visory staff of American instructors.
The academic status of the advisors
and instructors guarantees the stu
dents a scholarly and impartial APP
proach to an understanding of the
U. s. s. r., its economic and social
plan, its educational system and its
social services.

With each succeeding year, more
and more travellers add the Soviet
Union to their itinerary. The pros
poets for 1884 indicate that this
growth in travel interest is being
greatly accelerated. Although Amer
lean recognition of the U.SS.R. has
played no small part in this devel-
opment. ii. must be remembered that
the Soviet Union offers the tourist
travel program unduplicated in
the world today.
The U.S.SR. is a vast land of
many peoples and many tongues.
It's borders enclose one-sixth of the
sarth's landed surface and affords
sufficient variety of climates and
scenic wonders to satisfy the most
discriminating traveller. In addition
to these natural resources, the
Workers Fatherland provides the
spectacle of an agrarian nation
changed in the course of seventeen
short years to second place among
industrial nations Of the world.
Scientific and Cultural Advance
Keeping pace with its brilliant
industrial achievements, the educa-
tional, scientific and cultural attain
ments Of the Soviets are attracting
world acclaim. Students and pro-
fessionals from many lands now at
tend Soviet schools. Special courses.
as well as summer study tours, are
being offered to Americans who
wish to combine travel and study
In the U.s.S.R.
In the fields of music, the theatre
and art, the wealth of old Russia
is now contrasted with the vigorous
work Of new generation of artists.
The Leningrad Music Festival opens
the new season on May 20, and is
followed by many other cultural
events Of signal Importance, fnclud-
Ing the Moscow Theatre Festival in
