and that someday we would he pun
ished for such offensive behavior.
OF course it is not fair to compare
our habits and our ideas of what Is
right and proper with those of any
other nation, and least of all with
those of the Russians, who have GER
tainly not been able to relax eco
nomically, politically and mentally for
one moment for many decades. They
lived on war psychology and on war
ratiOns since 1914. The American
worker is accustomed to different
treatment, to different standards Of
living and has different outlook on
life from that of the Russians. Under
peacetime conditions no one would
want to make such analogies. But
under peacetime conditions there would
be no point in depriving ourselves OF
what we believe to be our due share
of the things we can we'll afford, for
the mere reason that other nations do
not share our standard of living.
Under watime conditions, however,
the situation is entirely different. The
welfare of other nations that fight on
our side becomes now, in a way, as
much our concern as the welfare OF
any section of our own country and
our own people.

Texas Drop Cited As Typical

CldsSroomS

WashingtOn.-TO prevent war labor
demands from "SabOtaging the acn-
demic education OF youth" DR.. Fred
erick Allen, director of the Philadel-
phia Child Guidance Clinic, proposed
to the Children's Bureau OF the Labor
Department that schools and employ
erS unite to make wartime child EN-
ployment part of education programs.
He spoke ut II meeting of the bureau's $
general advisory committee on pro-
lection of young workers.
in Texas 25,OOO children between
~ and II have left school this year.
said James f.. Sidel of the National
Child Labor Committee. 1.-The com
pulsory attendance laws are not being
enforced. Some children are working
as many as eighty-tive hours II week ;
sixty hours plus schooling is not un.
usual. In Louisiana the same thing Is
true. Many schools are not even half
filled, especially along the Gulf coast. "
Miss LenroOt seconded the War Man
power Commissions policy on child
employment, which states children
should receive wages paid adult
workers for similar job performance. "

victory, has no alternative but to pass
up the foods which are essential to n
balanced diet but which are now be-
yOnd the reach Of the average family's
pOcketbOOk."
Mr.. Meany conceded that many
workers are now earning more than
they formerly made, but emphasized
that many workers, millions of them,
have received no increase in pay in
the last 3 years, or have received
purely nominal increases amounting
To 3 or 3 cents an hour, or $3.50 to
$500 per week" The average pay en-
velOpe for all manufac cturing indus
tries, including the war industries
holds only $41 each week, he said.
Mr.. AIeany asked that President
Roosevelt, under his wartime powers,
issue an executive order to the OPA
mot stating In general terms that
food prices should be held down, but
stating In definite specific terms that
retail food prices must be rolled back
within definite, specific period of
time to the levels which prevailed ON
May Is, 1912"
"Only In this way" said the AFL
leader, "can the American worker be
assured that he will be unhampered in
his efforts to perform the tasks that
he Is not only willing to do but that
he is anxious to do-to produce all the
weapons OF war that our nation needs
for final and complete victory"

NUTRITION AND LABOR
THE RUSSIAN DIET

70 one who has travelled in other
lands and gained first hand experience
about the food situation elsewhere, the
complaints about food that one hears
occasionally in this country these days
seem very strange. He is in the same
poverty and misery about him all his
life and is suddenly transported into
an extremely wealthy home where
spoiled children complain of not hay
ing enough maids or chauffeur of
their own or of having to wear the
same costume to two balls in success
sion. The fact of the matter is that
youngsters brought up in an environ
ment of unlimited abundance cannot
he blamed for making such demands.
To their way of thinking, the things
they want are essential, and in their
circle of society no one will regard
them as insane or Overpampered. The
same is true with our attitude toward
food.
Six years ago l travelled in Russia
with a group of American teachers
and scientists. One day we had lunch
at the vast collective farm, Gigant
(meaning giant, near the now famous
but devastated city of ROstov. We were
thick soup. Every person received il
large plate of the mixture the Russians
call soup, which consists of potatoes,
cabbage, beetS, some buck wheat, and
some boiled meat. If not overlooked,
1t can be a very tasty and a highly
nutritious dish
1t was hot summer day, and the
vast majority of American tourists
literally turned up their noses at this
luncheon. They wanted fresh vege-
table salad and ice cream, or ut least
iced coffee. To their way of thinking
and in accordance with our own GUS
toms, their demands were very simple
and quite natural. Some whole wheat
bread and butter. mixed vegetable
salad, hard boiled egg, and cold
glass of milk would have pleased me
very well too. But it so happened that
the Russian food habits and food sup
plies We're not the same as our own,
and they prepared for us the same
thing that they ate. The majority of
the American visitors returned the
soup and the bread untasted, COM
planned of the lack of food on such a
vast farm, and were pleased with an
aDDlp and some other SnackS which
the restaurant could offer them. The
fact was that the collective farm cafe
terra simply did not have any other
food but what was given us.
What is important to the point of
this story is the way Russians regard
ed us. They looked upon us as though
we were the most pampered, migrate
ful and self-centered people in the
world. The idea of ordering special
dishes is something fantastic to them
about as fantastic as the idea of
bread and soup, which in
their opinion, should make anybody
the happiest person in the world, pro-
vided it could be obtained every day.
They regarded the American attitude
in the sannt way as we look upon the
spoiled brat Of rich family who
thinks it terrible cOmedown to have
to live without Il valet. The general
reaction of the people there was that
the behavior of our group was de-
immoral or sinful, that we
showed no respect for Gods great gifts
