And Some Want 1t Here

The believers in the totalitarion STATE always argue that thattorm
of government does the most to advance the interests of the com
mon man." They pirate of production for use instead of production
for profit, and point to the achievements of dictatorship In advanc-
ing the standard of living of the worker.
In the light of that, some figures concerning the Russian econ
omy are of interest. In less than a year, the price Of black bread,
the staple item in the diet of the average Russian, has increased
$40 per cent. Milk has gone up 220 per cent, sugar 1876 per cent,
butter 1876 per cent and beef Ia per cent. The cost OF clothing and
all manufactured goods have also advanced tremendously, and are
obtainale at any price. But, in the same period, the wages OF nus
sian workers have gone up only Is per cent.
The fortunate" Russians IN not budened with a free, COM
pettive economy such as that in the United States. They don't have
to suffer along with such typically capitalistic monstrosihes as
great factories producing a growing flood of consumer goods-nor do
they have chain stores and independent stores all competing with
each other for consumer favor. In Russia everything is owned and
controlled by the state, and the factories produce and the stores sell
only what the masterminds at the top think fit and proper. The
result. according 10 a U. S. Department of Labor survey, IS tina. the
living standards of American workers III about 1000 per cent
above those of their Russian counterparts.
Keep that in mind when you hear the virtues Of Communism and
other "isms" compared to the vices Of the competitive enterprise sys-
tenn Of production and distribution.
