dergarten work. Stain has killed
all the people in his own country
that need to be killed in order to
preserve the republic. His army
has been winning gloriously. His
cooperative farms, one of the
great Soviet experiments, are very
successful. Stain knows, moreover
what new worlds he wants to con-
quer when peace comes. So that
his people will worship him as they
now do Lenin, he plans to give
them back traditions cut away by
the revolution. A comfortable Life
also, with luxuries. And conven-
tional religion and education"
From now on, the citizens of the
Soviet must be regarded as equals
of the English and Americans in
elegance. The peace which they
have won must be rewarded with
| the charming trappings of life.
