people who themselves were starv-

Did I know that the peasants
were constantly revolving, espe-
cially in the Ukraine, where the
famine was still worse than in the
rest of Russia, for there there was
nothing at all to eat?
Did l know that the G. P. U.
shot lots of these peasants while
others were sent in crowds to
Siberia or to the White Sea?
Did I know that ordinary
laborerS and sentrieS, and the
militia only got 40 roubles a
month? They ought really to
have so or so roubles, but at
least one months pay year
was kept back as the so-called
voluntary" loan to the Socialist
State, while every month some
roubleS were deducted to pay for
the valuable cows that this farm
had bought to supply milk for
the workers children, and the
cooperative shop had also to have
a monthly subsidy. All this would
perhaps make me understand
that 40 to so roubles a month
was usually all that was left
over as wages.
Loans For Work
The voluntary" loan to the
Socialist State was automatically
deducted from their wages, but
it must be understood that
through these loans one made
sure of getting work, which again
meant food cards.
At a meeting the manager had
asked them if they would join
in buying the cows. Nobody had
answered, for everybody knew
that the milk which these cows
yielded would be used for the
chickens that were i'll and had to
have milk. So neither the work
ers nor their children would bene-
fit by it. The manager had then
done as the Communists always
do on such occasions. He
changed the question about, say.
ing:
"Will those who are against
this proposal put up their
handS?"
Nobody dared to do so, for they
knew quite we'll what would hap
pen to the fools who did. AS no
one was against the proposal it
was decided that five roubleS a
month was to be deducted from
each mans pay until the COWS were
paid for. Several cows died even
before they were paid for, as they
we're ill-cared for and fed. One
was slaughtered just before it was
going to calf as nobody knew 1t

Of asking the veterinary about it.

that every one of them had got
some of the cows meat.

Nicolai and another youth who
took sentry duty came to see us
one evening.
They came to borrow money
as they often did. This was not
to be wondered at. for l was the
only one on the farm whose wages
were paid fairly regularly. Nicolal
and Fedor were steady workers,
both of them. and whenever they
had borrowed money from me
they had always repaid me the
day they got their wages.
Now they sat in our kitchen,
each with glass of tea and a
lump of dry bread. That was all
we had in the house and it was
not long that we had this. Nicolai
was dark and foreign-looking,
while Fedor was fair and blue
eyed like a Scandinavian. Good
fellows they were and I gladly
lent them the money they asked
for.
They spat several times on our
doormat (Which we had to keep
inside the door to prevent its be-

saucer towards them and asked
them to use it as a Spittoon for
the future. l knew we'll that they
were showing my wife great con-
sideration by splitting on the mat
instead of on her newly scrubbed
floor. We began talking together.
Ask for Meat
With very serious expression
in his boyiSh blue eyes. Fedor
asked me why the sentries were
never given even little of all the
meat that was lying in the cold
storage building.
It was a difficult question to
answer, but I said that if the meat
were mine 1 would certainly let
them have some. was taken with
the wish to dish them out some
Communist phrases and said in
fluent Russian:
"You must remember that you
are helping to build the Socialist

The words were hardly uttered
when they both shouted:
ITO hell with the Socialist
State! If Socialism means that
our wives and children must
starve to death, then to hell
with Socialism,"
I might have told them how
thoroughly 1 agreed with them,
but I went on with the nonsense
about latter the five-year plan"
and so forth. Two great jets OF
saliva landed on our door-mat.
There you are! That's what
we think of the second five
year plan"
I discreetly pushed the cats
saucer towards them.
Look at all the smart trac-
tors, thrashing machines and
combined reapers that the long
freight trains carry by here
every day."
whats the good of all that
rubbish?" said Fedor, and Nicolai
added: 1--WE we're happy enough
in the old days" I said:
"That's not true. In those
days you starved more than you
do now"
They laughed at me and said
they had never known 1 was
Communist, who was evidently
paid to talk such nonsense. I felt
inclined to embrace these two big
boys, but I only told them 1 had
been joking, and that I had seen
long ago how matters really stood
