u. ). Radio Answers
Soviet Quiz Question
About Democracy
~ the Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-The
Voice Of America today broadcast
TO the Russians its own answer
to q Moscow quiz program ques-
ton.
Tho question: What are the
fundamental characteristics OF q
peoples democracy?"
The voice replied that q "peo-
ple's democracy'-the name Rus
sia has applied to Eastern Euro
pean governments lis not a
democracy and does not belong to
the people"
Charles w. Thayer. chief of the
State Departments international
Broadcasting Division, said the
chance to answer the quiz ques-
uon was "too good to miss"
Picked Up by Monitor.
The question ipurportedly was
submitted to Russian quiz pro-
gram broadcast for domestic con-
sumption. The program was
picked up by American radio
monitors.
In its own definition Radio
Moscow said a peoples democracy
has characteristics Of a country
moving from capitalism to social
ism. The country still has some
traces of capitalism-some pri-
vate enterprises and ''kulaks." or
wealthy farmers-but the govern
ment is liquidating these.
The Voices answer, beamed to
the Poles and Bulgarians in their
native languages yesterday and
to the Russians early today, said
in part:
"A peoples democracy is a
country In which everything be-
longs TO the state and nothing be-
longs to the people. It is country
in which the state in turn belongs
to the Communist Party bosses,
who can do what they please with
the state and everything In 1t
without regard for the wishes OF
the people.
Standard Of Living Cited.
'It is a country where If man
does not work as fast as the party
bosses think he should, he IS sent
to q forced labor camp for sew
eral years to teach him the mean
ing of socialist competition.
"A peoples democracy Is q
country where the standard OF
living Of the people must be kept
below the standard Of living OF
the Soviet people. Since Soviet
man is superior to all other men,
obviously no one else must be
allowed to live better than the
Soviet man."
