timber trusts Of the north, de-
cided to float the logs to Arch.
angel without making RATS Of
them.
A plan was carefully prepared
providing for several million
logs to be slid into the waters Of
local streams. The entire popu-
lation was to be mobilized and
everybody without exception was
to help. The authorities issued a
decree closing navigation for a
month and special booms and
pockets were constructed near
Archangel to catch the logs.
AS usual in the U. S. S. R.,
the calculations on paper were
quite precise. The exact time Of
the logs entering the rivers and
the exact time of their arrival
at the booms were determined.
the number of logs floated and
the speed Of the current as well
as other important details were
taken into consideration. But as
usual. the existence of unfore-
seen, accidental circumstances
was ignored and the advice of
experienced timbermen was over
ridden. Timber specialists re-
marked that it was better to
drive fewer logs and be sure Of
catching them, but this was con-
sidered to border on sabotage.
After that. the specialists re-
mained silent.
Power Of Fools
The driving Of the logs began
on the night of June first. Logs
floated down the swift current
of the Vychegda River past
Solvychegodsk. They turned and
twisted, showed each other, stood
on end, climbed on top of each
other. They looked alive in their
movements and resembled a
school of gigantic fish forcing
their way down the river. The
pressure behind the logs was tre-
mendous and it was hard to
imagine how such a mass could
be dealt with at Archangel.
An old man, who had worked in
the timber industry all his life,
sat on the bank Of the river and
looked at the logs, sadly.
another week and it will all
be in the White Sea. How do
they figure they can stop this
onslaught? They've OverdOne it
again and have showed all the
logs into the water at the same
time. 1t takes imagination! So
much valuable timber thrown
away, so much work wasted in
the cutting Of it! Oh, the power
welded by fOOIS!"
The logs drove by in an unend-
ing mass all day and all night.
On the second morning disquiet-
ing reports were received Of strong
rains in the regions Of the two
most important log rivers-the Sy.
sola and the Wynn. It was report
The Washington times., 1935-10-29

ed that q much greater number
OF logs had been showed into the
rivers than the plan provided. The
Komi territory had overplayed its
hand by mobilizing the population
and distributing alcohol among
the workers. Now the tremendous
mass Of logs was driven by the
swollen waters Of the rivers and
made one fearful for the results.
But, Of course, the mischief, once
started, could not be stopped. Re-
ports started coming in from Arch
angel to the effect that the logs
had begun to arrive, were caught
and pocketed according to plan.
The originators Of the idea Of driv.
ing the loose logs we're triumphant.
But the old man on the bank Of
the river quietly chuckled.
A week passed and suddenly the
catastrophe came. An urgent tele-
gram from Archangel reported
that the main boom had given
way and that the logs were car
ried into the ocean. It was or
dered that the entire population
be again modified to stop the
floating logs.
It was easier to send the tele-
gram than to execute it. But
measures were taken at once and
the entire population was mobil-
lied for the work. All the old
men, women and children were
sent to the river together with
the men. All the prisoners were
ordered out.
Thre were no boat hooks.
Therefore we undresSed, got into
the water and fished out the near
est logs as they passed us, drag
ging them out on the bank. The
main mass of logs proceeded un-
hindered in the middle of the
stream. We could not reach
them. We worked hard all day
and late into the evening; it was
pleasanter than sitting in the Of
flee. A large number Of logs was
saved, but in comparison with the
main mass it was a drop in the
ocean.

in the ocean.
Large parties Of "coloniSts"
were sent to the North regularly.
Loaded with their packs, they
trudged along heavily, the chill
dren clinging to their mothers
skirts. 1t was an appalling sight.
These parties had to walk hun
dreds of kilometers, into the very
depth of the Zyryan forests, where
they had to break ground and
start life afresh.
Judging from the letters re-
ceived by the prisoners, conditions
in the U. S. S. r. showed no i'm
provement. There was widespread
peasant opposition to the collec-
tiveness campaign, followed by the
policy of the determination of
the kulakS as a class"
The Russian peasants without
exception, be they of the poor, "
middle" or "kulak" classes, share
the view common to peasants or
farmers of all lands. They have
always regarded the land as be-
longing to them, as their absolute
property. They could not recon
cile themselves to the communist
land program, i.e., to the principle
that the land is the property Of
the state and that those who cul-
tivate it have only a temporary
privilege to make use Of 1t.
Cattle Slain
Already in Lenin's time the Boil
SheyikS had been forced to yield
on this point in order to maintain
themselves in power. Hence Lenin
introduced the NEP and encour-
aged the peasants to enrich
themselves. After Lenin'S death
the NEP was abolished and the
well-to-do peasants were gradually
stripped of their property either
by lawful" taxation or by arbi-
trary confiscation.
When Stain had firmly estab-
lished his power, the Communist
party returned to, its former plat
form and a long struggle with the
peasant class eYlSued.
The Communists believed that
they were waging a successful
battle but t. reality the attempt

When the collectivization Of the
peasants property was begun,
strictly In accordance with the
estimates Of tie. Five.Year Plan,
the well dU-do peasantry took a
definite stand against 1t and op-
posed it in every way. The ex'
termination of the "kulaks" was
undertaken, but the results of
their opposition soon became evi-
dent; almost all the breeding live
stock belonging to the "kulaks'
had been slaughtered, and com
mon livestock had diminished to
such an extent that there was

At the time of our arrival at
Solvychegodsk this lovely little
town was still in its winter garb.
Roofs were covered with deep
snow which had not been removed
since autumn. Boys coasted their
sleds down the steep banks on to
the river ice; here and there men
on skis were to be seen, evidence
that winter sports had penetrated
even those remote provinces.
There were no factories in the
town. The institutions included
the local soviet, technical
school, two cooperative stores, the
OGPU, the fire department, the
government vodka warehouse and
dispensary, and the electric power
station.
Living COrpses
The local landmark was the lit
tie house in which Stain, the
present dictator of the U. S. S. R.,
had lived before the war as an
exile. The owner of the house
was a young man of swarthy
complexion, with the features of
a native of the Caucasus. contrast

blond Northern fellow villagers.
The local party headquarters had

a brilliant career probably awaited
him.
Weeks went by; the snow began

The station was under iron
discipline. At seven in the
morning the commander ar
rived, accompanied by the doc
tors assistant. The women and
children were driven into the
tents and the men stood in line
for inspection. The commander
stopped here and there in front
of the lines and from time to
time we could hear his shouts
and unprin a BIZ swearing.
Then he would enter the tents
and instantly the air would re-
sound with the shrieking and
bowling of women and the cry
ing of children.
The doctors assistant would
carry out of the tents the bod
les of children who had died
during the night, the crying
mothers would follow him to
the gate where the cart was
waiting. Some of them fell on
their knees, begged, implored
and, when they were finally
dragged away by the guards,
threw tn mselves on the
ground and gave way to heart
rending sobs.

be dug and a little mound would
appear next to the others. There
were great number of those
little mounds in the field and
from our window they looked like

flies.
Husband Digs Grave
Adult deaths were less fre.

buried, the wife accompanied the
cart UP to the mound-covered

and lowered the body into it,
