cultivated by the greatest living opponents of

There are Of course two groups that see the
danger Of the Soviet dictatorship to democratic
practices, institutions and nations. One is the
progressive, the other conservative. 1t will be

What They Do
A tour through the institution

Our first stop was 20 the canning
factory. Inmates themselves were
the instructors and there were
many inmates as workers. They
had every modern and scientific
equipment necessary to this in
dustry. There they took the raw
plums and tomatoes carried them
respectively through their pro.
cesses of cooking-boiling. etc,
and they came out properly cam

for consumption. This was some
