Communistic Plan Likened To Capitalism DeVries Tells of Russia In Speech to Club Features Resembling Individual System Are Production, Money Circulation, Banking Three features of the commu nistic program in Russia which resemble to a certain degree cap italistic methods were explained by Herman DeVries, former en gineer in the city planning depart ment for Leningrad, in an address last night at the International Re lations club. These are piecework production, circulation of money, and the bank ing system. According to DeVries, Russia was forced to accept piecework production because the workers had grown up under the old regime and consequently, for the most part, were people without any ed ucation or understanding about the new conditions, and were there fore, lazy and not interested. The only way to make them work was to let them starve if they did not. Work Required ‘Surely, in Russia one is forced to work,” stated DeVries, ‘‘but how many people in other countries would not be too glad if they would be forced to work instead of being forced to loaf and starve?” Six and seven hours is the normal working day with a day off every fifth day.” Another imitation of the capital istic system is the way money is made to circulate. Money in Rus sia is a means of giving the pro ducer the compensation for his work just as in capitalistic na tions, but in Russia the paper money is not backed. Gold for Debts All the gold reserve is kept ex clusively to meet foreign debts. It is not needed for domestic use be cause all the means of production and distribution are in the same hands, those of the state. Conse quently, money in Russia is just like a sort of certificate which gives you, for instance, the right to get in the government store all the things you wish up to a certain quantity. From the stores the money goes back to the paymas ter to pay wages again. Foreigners coming to Russ'a have to bring foreign coin with them because the government needs that to meet its foreign debts, DeVries reports. The third cause for several be liefs that Russia is gradually drift ing back into capitalism is the banking system, which was ex plained by DeVries. If one wants to save his money, he can put it in the state bank, the only bank in the U.S.S.R. This bank pays 5 per cent interest on the savings. How ever, this interest has a different significance from that in capital istic countries. This 5 per cent interest is for the purpose of en couraging the worker to be thrifty and not wasteful, and is therefore to be considered as a kind of pre mium for good behavior. Private Business Out “The only things you can do with your savings are to spend them or give them away,” re marked DeVries. “You cannot start a business and let people work for you while you get the profits.” In the course of coming years, the production of commodities is supposed to be so enormous that they will lose their values more and more. Then money will be come still more worthless, render ing a long-term saving useless. Religion, wages and work, edu cation, defense and free medical service were also discussed as part of the report.

Scanning the Cinemas MCDONALD — “Good Dame,” Silvia Sidney, Fredric March, Jack LaRue. Also “Carolina,” Janet Gaynor, Lionel Barry more. COLONIAL "M. ’ By J. A. NEWTON Audience Reaction Eugene movie audiences usually give vent to their feelings when a movie situation does not seem con vincing to them. They laugh it down. This occurred a number of times during “Carolina.” Sunday night. They won't accept Janet Gaynor tilling the soil, nor Lionel Barry more as a doddering old failure with an uncertain mentality. Stepin Fetchit, the world's laz iest negro, offers excellent comedy relief. He’s the boy who blew' all the money he earned a couple of years ago on cars and gals. He became so independent that he got booted out. Now he’s back, and we hope a bit more level-headed. “Good Dame,” 'on the other hand, was well received. Fredric March can, of course, make anything ac ceptable. It is amusing to com pare his fine, intellectual face with the character he depicts and makes convincing. He uses just the proper gestures and inflections. He’s a bad guy -a slicker in every sense of the word. Xot Seen I am sorry that I cannot give a complete report on “M.” It was previewed yesterday afternoon, but I had to leave just as the ex citement began, And since the most important part of a picture is the climax (which 1 missed) I have no basis for a report. Plot: Maniac goes about murder- | ing little girls. He defies /the po lice. writing a note to the papers saying he isn't through yet. Pub lic feeling is high and the police clamp down on the underworld. This frightens, and hampers the underworld. They determine to their own good. Their first move is to have the beggars trail all children. The maniac is located and a smart boy slaps him on the back, leaving a chalk “M' on his black coat. He is marked, and the chase be gins. It moves fast. And then 1 had to leave. Rest of statement tomorrow. Pledging Announced Sigma Alpha Epsilon announces the pledging of Dick Kiehle of Portland. Pledging Announced Phi Gamma Delta, announces the pledging of Philip Hayter of Dal las, Oregon. "Patronize Emerald advertisers.” Students Must Return 480 Rooters' Caps or Surrender One Dollar A check on the rooters’ lid situation reveals that 480 of the 500 lids issued last fall have not been returned. The graduate manager's of fice has announced that all lids must be returned before March 15. Just in case some enterpris ing Oregon State student is now in possession of a , rooter's lid or if some fair maiden has collected it for a souvenir, the person who signed last fall will find his deposit in the comp troller’^ office decreased by the sum of $1. Skull and Dagger Will Help Decorate for Bail Skull and Dagger, sophomore men’s service honorary, will assist in the decorations for the A. W. S. masked ball to be held Saturday, it was decided at their meeting held last night in the Journalism build ing. The committee appointed to take charge included Jerry Dens low. John McConnell. Tom Hol man, Jeff Howard, and Cosgrove LaBarre. Members of the club will be en gaged in the near future in visit ing fraternity houses to become ac quainted with freshmen interested in Skull and Dagger. Edith Grim Gives Program Monday At Music School _ ; Varied Schedule of Difficult and i Light Music Presented by Hopkins’ Student Edith Grim, graduate student of piano under George Hopkins, gave a recital Monday night which pleased the small but enthusiastic audience. The program contained some light, melodic music, and some dif ficult showy selections . which served to give Miss Grim's tech nique a thorough test. Handel’s “Harmonious Black smith," Mozart’s “Romance,” and Liadoff's “Barcarolle" all came un der the first heading, while the Chopin “Sonata in B flat minor” and Barmotine's “Valse-Scherzo” came under the latter. The famed funeral march move ment of the Chopin apparently stirred memories in a few of the listeners. They were quite evident ly moved by the piece. This move ment depicts, one story runs, the return of a young soldier to his home only to find his sweetheart dead. He visits the grave. The vis it is pictured in a beautiful melod ic passage which represents the quiet of the eravcyard, and the gentle spring winds blowing through the grass. Miss Grim received a large bou quet after one of her numbers. “Patronize Emerald advertisers.” ONLY THE CENTER LEAYES FOR i This picture tells better than words the 1 merit of your Lucky Strike. Luckies use only the center leaves. Not the top leaves, because those are under-devel oped—not ripe. Not the bottom leaves, because those are inferior in quality— they grow close to the ground and are tough, coarse and always sandy. The center leaves are the mildest leaves, the finest in quality. These center leaves are cut into long, even strands and are fully packed into each and every Lucky —giving you a cigarette that is always round, firm, completely filled—no loose ends. Is it any wonder that Luckies are stf truly mild and smooth? And in 0 addition, you know, "It’s toasted”— for throat protection, for finer taste.
