roots in Russia's past. lie said that
Russia's political parties developed
before 1917. These we're the Octob-
rists: the Constitutional Demo
Gratis; the Socialists which split in
to two wings. the more radical be-
ing followers OF Lenln and Trotsky
and called Bolsheviks. The fourth
group was the Peasant Party who
wanted more land. Mr.. Hubbell
stated that some Of the reasons
for the Russian Revolution o: 1917
was the failure OF the Russian Ar
my which was so large that II could
not be controlled or supplied; and
corruption within the CEarist court,
specifically the friendship OF he
Czarina for certain undesirable
characters and the intrigue OF the
monk Rasputin. Mr. Hubbell fur,
Their sisted that Circumstances
made the Revolution; the Bolshev-
iks carried 1t on"
Since the great masses OF Russian
people had lived In extreme power
~ under the Car, the aim OF the
Communists was TO look after the
needs OF the majority OF the people.
and TO raise their standards of Nv
ing. In setting up their economy,
the Soyiets spent their money Cor
machine tools and skilled technic-
ians, thus producing their own con
sumer goods. When World War II
came their chief goal had 10 be
abandoned, but we find an industry
controlled by the government in
stead Of by a few large corpora
tiOns.
In regard to foreign policy Mr..
Hubbell made these statements: in
its foreign policy, a country fol-
lows its own interests; Russian
foreign policy Is certainly anti
fascist and 1t has never caused
America TO arm.
Several guests were presen-,
among them Mr.. and Ms. Michael
Barenow OF Hpsilanti. In the dis
cussion which followed DR.. Hub
BELLS talk, Mr.. BarenOw who Is
native Russian contributed some
very interesting facts based on his
own experiences In Russia.
Miss Elizabeth Miller. supervis-
ing teacher at Lincoln School, had
charge Of this discussion. The next
meeting OF this group will be on
February Z at 1880 In Charles Nc
Kenny Hall and the study OF Russia
will be continued.

reached fever pitch today as the
Rice Owls flew into town and got

between two Miami hospitals. The
ticket holder was not identified.
