BEHIND THE CURTAIN

Too much transformation has been circulated about Russia. A lot of this has been put into circu- lation by Russia. Some of it has come from fellow-travelers and other admirers of the Soviet ex- pertinent. There have been honest { mistakes of American writers who have been unable to penetrate the mysteries behind the iron curtain. Prominent Americans who have toured" Russia have too often be- come dupes of propaganda shows cleverly contrived for visiting eyes.
 Gradually, however, facts are coming to light. Documented and unbiased studies are greatly need ed, for they will dispose of many fallacies about the Soviets. Straight facts will set folks right who have accepted such boners as this one: There's no unemploy- ment in Russia. It's quite true, but slave laborers have been es- timated at 14,000,000. You see, unemployment insurance is not even necessary.
 Facts Talk Out Loud
 Such factual study is the Al page book Communism in Ac- tion," prepared under direction of Congressman Dirksen of Illinois. Printed as a House document by the Legislative Reference Service of the Library of Vongress, the book may be obtained from the U. S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C., for 25 cents. Copies are also distributed free by the American Wage Banners Foundation, Suite sos, 30 North LaSalle Street, Chicago, III.
 Written in simple. factual style, without the customary slanted or biased approach, the book should interest all AmeIf- cans who have been confronted with the idea that "the State does the job better" The facts set forth therein do not call for elab- oration or editorial bias. They talk loud enough to make a mighty good advertisement for the Amer i icar way of life.

ter under Polish administration, also provided that the rest of Germany should be treated economic unit that Germany should retain an economy capable ot feeding her people, and that separations should be met by removals of unnecessary German industrial equipment and should be completed by Feb Z, l94S In plain violation of that agreement Russia has completely detached her zone from German economy and has eX- plotted it for her benefit to its complete exhaus tion while dumping millions of additional Germans into the American and British zones to be fed at Allied pense.
 Now in further violation of that agreement, and n conformity with her customary practice of attempting to sell everything twice Russia offered at the Moscow conference agree to the economic unificatOn of the trump Reich but only if she allotted $1OOOO, 0OO 900 in additional German separations at 1888 prices which would bring the total to more than ,OOOOOO 000 This would be paid in twenty years, and would be collected by of Allied occupation for the per cd and the admission of Russia to the control of the Ruhr without reciprocal admission of the Vest ern Allies to control within the Russian zone.
 Russia justified these demands the ground that the war cost her total of $485 0OO OOO nearly half the total spent by the Big Four But quite aside from
 the fact that the Russian figure appears to exceed Rus sas total national wealth it must be said that Russia has already compensated herself quite beraly by her actions She has annexed than 50O00 square miles of territory Containing 25 900 peope whose value is incaculable She has footed all Eastern Europe and Manchura And she has been collecting direct rep aratons through seizures and slave labor whose value former Secretary Byrnes has estimated at less than $14OOO 900 0OO Meanwhile the United States and Brit ain have been compelled to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to feed the German population
 Furthermore Russia proposed to collect this vast primarily from the British and American zones For that purpose she is willing to agree raise German industrial production 45 per cent above the level hther to agreed upon and German steel production to nearly three times her original proposals. However, such increase would have to be financed first of all by Amer ican and British capital, and then unless Ger manys agricultural areas returned to her. this n creased production would scarcely suffice to feed the Germans This means that any separations paid from that production would have to be compensated for by n creased Allied food supplies In other words what Rus sa proposed in effect is that all Germany be oeared work for Russia for generation, and that the other Allies not only forego separations for themselves but also pump funds into Germany for Russas benefit
 Secretary Marshall flatly rejected this proposal behalf of the United States.

Special Privileges

Russian Communism theoretic- ically envisions a classless society. On the basis of pay, the difference between the status of the wage earner and the manager is much greater there than in America. The many special privileges and bonuses" that are distributed to the Soviet managers make this in- equality more striking. The aver age wage of workers was reported in pre-war year as approximate ly $10 to $12.50 a month.
 American CHS have been known to gripe about service pay. An ordinary, private in the Soviet army learns" from $2 to S4 month. n-commissioned off cer maximum of $25. and col onel about S450. This spread is typical of differences in economic status, and this study points out that special privileges to men in the army follow in similar ratio"
 Theoretical Failure
 What about labor? Yes, in Rus sia labor is active and organized. Joining unions there is a politi- cal and economic necessity. Labor leaders are appointed by the rul- ing group, and their duties are to speed up production, to keep la bor disciplined. Wages are not a subject for discussion or negotia- tion. There is no collective har-N

The Civilian Naval Reserve


 (Seattle Post-Intelligencer) THE NATION EMERGED vctoriousy from the Sec ond World War the greatest naval power in history with nvincible armada of fighting ships-includng aircraft carriers-ad many auxaries of naval com-I bat and supply
 To keep all these vessels in active commission, with the requisite personnel would obviously have been extravagant action. To scrap them all would have been unwarraned folly The proper medium to preserve in full service navy requisite for immediate defense in of gency, with reserve capable of being put quickly and efficiently into operation. Accordingly, the navy decided-and Congress has approved-a permanent policy whereby the wartime navy whole was divided into echelons.
 Supernumerary vessels were retired, of course.
 Remaining active duty the Atlantic and Pacific Fleets, comprising the tWO-Ocean naVy which the best regarded experts have held to be essential for tional security. Sent into are the selected ships of all categor ies which will comprise the second ne of oceanic de- fense. Under this plan, the active navy will be always ready served by the officers and of the regular forces In order that the thousands of ships may deterlorate idly and may be speedily available for full duty, personnel for them must also be maintained in training: and this is the function of the civilian naval serve.
 It corresponds to the national guard and the organ zed which support the regular army as land force
 In either case men may attach themselves to the uni formed services deriving all the benefits which merous, and receiving peacetime training without changing their civilian status
 Training in the civilian naval reserve, to- be taken somewhat like vacations at appropriate intervals such other times arranged will include nstruc- tiOn experience in practical trades maritime exer- cises suitable for deep-sea corps, and-of course ocean travel for many.
 The emblem of membership in the civilian naval re- serve is an emblem of honor, denotng both character and patriotism
 Either veterans non-veterans eligible, and rollment entails no reduction of G. l. preferences privileges.
 The naval reserve is open to navy and coast guard veterans the age of 64 and to other Americans be- tween the ages of IT and 40.
 Membership is voluntary, permitting resignation at any time, and member may be active or inactive as personal circumstances permit.
 Any navy recruiting office naval reserve base or unit will receive applications Or prospective enrollees may simply write to Naval Reserve, Care Postmaster Seattle.
 There are places for one million Americans in the civilian naval and every place should be filled
