take tour? Why not Just go into
the U. S. s. R. the way you would

Because, dear friend, the Soviet
Union fortunately, is nothing like
England. The Soviet Union is an
organized economy and makes no
provision for foreigners coming
from abroad with money earned,
the lord only knows how, and using
10 any way they please.
But provision is made for them
to come. There is nothing to hide.
On the contrary, there is much to
show. But the visitor is a guest OF
the Soviet Union and his travels
and his money difficulties are solved
for him in an organized fashion.
To begin with, it is illegal either
to import or export Soviet currency.
This is necessary to avoid specula-
ton.
So what do you do? Simple. You
spend the dollar itself. There are

coupons are issued to the agent by
Intourist, Inc, U. S. representatives
of the Travel Company of the U.

sell the services at the prices
quoted in literature furnished him
for his clients by Intourist. The
steamship fares likewise are quoted
in literature supplied by the vari-
GUS lines. Tariffs, however, vary
with the size and speed of the
steamer and are listed by classes
at minimum rates. This means that
outside rooms and cabins containing
less people are priced higher.

Soviet steamers From London


How to go? During the Summer
months the favorite route is by any
one of a number of lines touching
at British ports. Thence to London
and by Soviet steamer to Leningrad.
A five day boat leaves Hays Wharf
at London Bridge every Saturday.
1t is usually easy to find trans
Atlantic boat calling at South
ampton or Plymouth that will make
connections. This is the best route
because life on a Soviet ship is
good introduction to the Union it
self. The absence of class-distinc-
tion-except that higher prices are
charged for better accommodations.
the unorthodox conaraderie between
passengers and crew, the Soviet or
ganization of the working force, the
lectures, dancing and singing-the
entire atmosphere is as if one step
ped off London Bridge directly into
Nevsky Frospekt.
In addition to being the recon-
mended route, it is also the cheap
est. Route trip through fares from
New York to Leningrad and return
are quoted by various lines as low
as SLIT. Those wishing to visit
continental cities have a choice
at, of course, extra outlay-of book
ing straight through to Paris, Ber-
lin, or Rotterdam and thence by
train to Moscow or Leningrad.
High European rail fares in view
of depressed dollar add consider
ably to the cost An alternative,
not so expensive, is to go one way
by Soviet steamer and back by rail
to an English Channel port for re-
turn passage. Other routes may be
booked through Norway and Sweden,
by boat to Helsingfors, Finland, and
short train ride into Leningrad;
or to Copenhagen and by Baltic
ports.

Union is determined only by sea-

Soviet Union
Travel Agency Receives
Comments From Many
Tourists

In response to its inquiry, World
Tourists, Inc, has received many
letters from American workers who
visited the Soviet Union during the
last year. What did they think OF
She U. S. S. R.? Were they inn
pressed by the progress being made
in industry and agriculture? Did
they enjoy their tour? Were the
accommodations satisfactory? etc.
Those who make a practice Of
slandering the Soviet Union and be-
lifting its many achievements
would have difficult time Of max
ing any impression upon these en-
thusiastic tourists, who saw, with
their own eyes, the triumphs of
Socialist construction. Not only
we're they amazed at what they
saw, but the accommodations pro-
vided by Intourist, Inc, the official
travel bureau of the U.SS.R., also
came in for its share of praise.
A typical letter received contains
the following summation: The
propaganda that has been carried
on within the U. S. A. since the
Revolution, implanting poison and
hatred within the minds and hearts
of the populace Of the U. S. A.

Countless Interesting
Tours Now Being
Provided
By L. A. Williams

Workers and sympathizers
with the revolutionary move
ment sometimes find them
selves able and anxious to
travel. When they do find it
possible to go abroad, their
choice almost always falls on
the Soviet Union. In past
years, even during the depres-
sion, Moscow residents were
not surprised to find the New
Moscow Hotel across from the
Kremlin damned with workers not
only from Western Europe, but
from across the Atlantic as well.
True, three or four years ago a
goodly number of these were in the
land Of the Soviets in search of a
Job At that time many were sue
cessful in locating places of work at
their trades. More recently this has
been less true. Workers bound for
the U. S. S. R. are warned that
Jobs are not forthcoming. Still, they
go.
Many of those going from the
United States are workers, profess
SIGNALS and middle class people of
Russian origin. Often they go to
visit relatives. Just as often they
are drawn back to see what has be-
come of the country they knew be-
fore the revolution.
Travel Inexpensive
Fortunately, travel in the Soviet
Union for limited periods is not eX-
pensive, considering the distances
travelled and the time spent, Trans
Atlantic fares have been sharply
reduced since 1929 and steamship
companies make further concessions

Soviet Travel
1850 Greater
During 1894
1870 of Tourists Were
Americans; Increase
Expected for 1885
BY A. X. DAWSON

Forty per cent of all tourists who
visited the Soviet Union in 1884
were Americans. The remainder
were Is per cent French, Is per cent
British, 10 per cent German, 7 per
cent Austrian and Czechs and 6 per
cent from the Scandinavian coun-
tries.
While the total number of tour
lists from all countries exceeded the
1888 total by large percentage, the
number from America was more
than double that of the previous
year, the actual increase in Amer
lean travellers over 1888 was 1875 per
cent. The Americans also stayed
longer on the average and spent
more per capita than did their
European cousins.
The Soviets welcome this influx
Of American visitors as a sign of
better understanding and an i'm
provement in the friendly relations
between the two nations. The plan
for 1885 takes into account a still
further increase in American tourist
travel. The study of English is now
given first place in the Moscow
school for guides. The tastes of
Americans in the matter of food
and entertainment are also carefully
considered.
Eleven cruising steamers visited
Soviet ports in 1888; in 1894 the

number was increased to twenty.
Great interest is being shown in the
International Physiological Congress
to be held in Moscow in the summer
Of 1895, the travel arrangements for
which are in the hands Of the Amer
lean Express Company.
Rail Fares To Be Reduced
Reductions Of approximately 50
per cent for the first class Vlsdi-
vostok to Moscow rail fares will be
announced during the early part Of
this year. The first class fare from
the Soviet capitol to Vladivostok in
Wagon-Lit type Of sleeper will be
about $3.50, This will include the
usual charges for drawing room and
for linen. These trains carry Eng
disappearing Interpreters.
The cost of the dining car service
will also be reduced so that a book
Of coupons covering breakfast, lunch
con, dinner and afternoon tea will
cost about $500 per day. The jour-
ney from Vladivsotok to Moscow re-
quires nine days. The distance is
about six thousand miles, or at the
new rates, at fraction of over
two cents mile, including Pullman.
Bid For World Travellers
The Soviets, by establishing the
lowest first class train rate in the
world, hope to attract many round
the-world travellers to this route. A
round-the- world trip can now be
made for about $3.50 FIRST class and
$500 tourist class. The actual travel
time by train and boat is only
thirty-f1ve days, well within the
span Of a vacation.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1935-01-19

sibly want to visit. These tours
are priced on a basis of IS per day
third class; SO per day tourist class
and SIS per day first class. Some
times there is a variation in the
total tour price away from these
figures due to an excess of kilometer
distances covered. There is a mini
mum rate Of $40-no tour can be
bought for less. This is because the
cost of Soviet entrance and exit
visas are included total of $22.
But for this $40, for example, you
can go to Leningrad for three days,
take a train to Moscow for four
days and receive meals, hotels, two
hours sightseeing daily by bus with
trained guide-interpreters, transfer
from station to hotel and wise versa
and have your visa charge thrown
in.
Dollar Buys More In U.S.S.R.
Because Of the present low state
Of the dollar, you can travel as
cheaply in no other European coun-
try.

that solid comforts are not pro-
vided for third class visitors, They
