Reporting on the meeting OF the
L. S. Chamber of Commerce and
Marshal Joseph Stain, Paul IN
grodt spoke to members OF the
Kiwanis Club at their weekly meet
ing wednesday at Hotel Huron on
the7 subject. "Trip TO Russia by
Proxy"
The meeting OF Eric Johnson,
U. S. Chamber of Commerce pres
ident, and Marshal Stain took
place in Moscow in May, at the in
vitation OF Marshal Stain. Joyce
O'Hara, who accompanied Mr..
Johnson TO Moscow, took notes dur
ing the meeting, stated that the
Russians are rather mysterious
people, being community-mind
when Americans are concerned In
dividually.
At the time OF the Revolution, IS
per cent OF the Russian people
were illiterate, and now a similar
number are able to read. Russia
trusts the United States and the
Russians have expressed a liking
for Americans, and their products.
Marshal Stain did not hesitate
TO say that the Russians would not
have succeeded without the aid o!
American goods. Most OF the pro-
duce in Russia Is transported by
the use OF American trucks. Mr..
Johnson stated that the men in
the administrative positions OF the
Russian government are intelligent
and capable, and receive very good
salaries. while the persons en-
ployed in positions directly below
them receive moderate pay.
Russia now has widespread edu-
cation with advanced health and
hospital programs. They have also
been given limited religious liberty.
With Russian war casualties total
ing approximately five million men,
II has become necessary for more
than eighty-five per cent OF the
