II he had only the Cars army to
oppose him today.
That is the great paradox of Rus
sia: p,or as its people are today,
theirs really Is success story. The
only legitimate room for argument
is in whether their success would not
have been greater under liberal cap
italism management. 1t seems to me
rather an academic argument.
There's no doubt that. before the
war, the present generation in Rus
sia was more satisfied with its lot,
more confident of its future than
most generations in Europe and any
in Asia. And it's hardly fair to
compare their country with ours $50
years after we began carving this
country out of a new continent.
Personally, these conclusions came
to me after I left the Soviet Union,
on my way home, thinking aoout
what I had seen-setting what I
had seen in Russia against what
had seen in other parts of the world
and trying to acquire some histor-
ical perspective.
While I was in Russia, I was al
most continuously depressed. I
certainly did not expect the miracles
the Communists told me l would
find. I thought I had discounted
their enthusiasm. And I knew there
must be much that was ugly and dis
illusioning there to have turned so
many men of intelligence and good
will against Joseph Stains regime
But neither the prosecution nor
the defense had prepared me for the
dead level of poverty that spread
like a soiled blanket from one bor-
der Of the country to the other-or
the low level of Soviet workmanship.

7 could feel these things depressing
me within the first "a hours in the
country, even when I was still warm
with the cheer of the banquet the
CommiSSars rendered us on the
border. Later. in Moscow, this de-
preston was to be deepened by a
natural reaction to the suspicion
with which I was met everywhere.
Counting out the few hours I spent
with other Americans in Moscow,
the only lighthearted times 1 can
remember are the hours I spent in
an officers mess on the Smolensk
road. and days and nigts travelling
with Soviet soldiers.
I drew inspiration from their
courage and determination. Too
often I found civilian officials SNUG

my intelligence with their wishful
thinking. But these were neither
soldiers nor workers: they were
bureaucrats, the least lovely Of Gods
creatures.
The soldiers gave me the best
idea of what it was all about. They
knew what they were fighting for.
And what they were fighting for
was their peoples right to finish
the experiment they had begun.
Whether it will ever turn out to be
the classless, Utopian state that
Marx and Engel dreamed about. or
whether the present intricate struc-
ture of classes will corrupt itself.
l have no idea. But if you can keep
your vision of riches when there is
nothing but rags around you-and
rags-to-riches is a good American
traditlon-you can still predict
great future for the Socialist Repub-

cheaper the coupon stores are: The
same mems shirts that range from
80 to 80 rubles in a universal store,
could be had at a range of from
18 to 35 rubles in a coupon store.
In addition to the above units, the
coupon book also contains II special
units for soap. Each soap unit is
good for two cakes, one cake Of toilet
soap and one cake of washing soap
This works out as two cakes Of soap
per person per week.
