bureau at Washington, D. C, has made a survey of the
Soviet's accomplishments in 13
edly prejudiced. It may be propaganda. But his statements
are so factual and so based upon statistics, they' can hardly
be entirely false. If his statements are true, Russia has
made astonishing advances. Summarized, his report includes
the following data :
Russia has developed industrial strength rapidly. Com
pared with 4913, production has increased in the following
percentages: coal, 40.5: oil
tural machinery, 175.9. Railway freight moved has increas
ed 62.3.
Agricultural development has not been c. z rapid as in
dustrial .development yet there is an increase oi 12.7 per cent
over 1913.
Labor's conditions have

Amazing progress is being made through the Soviet in
the electrification of Russia. In 1913 the Russian purchases
of industrial and electrical equipment in America were $1,
800,000; they climbed to $34,000,000 in 1928-29.
Russia is making giant strides in attacking its educa
, Uonal problems. Skvirksy, declares that where 47.4 per cent
of school age children were attending school in 1915, 88.6 per
cent were in school in 1923. Three-quarters of Czarist Russia
was illiterate; in 1929 the percentage was reduced to 45 per
cent. Provision this year has been made for 7,500,000 adults
t attend part-time schools.
' ; For every 100 books published in Russia in 1913 there
are 240 printed in 1928. Newspaper circulation has increased
fourfold. ' .
Infant and general mortality has been considerably de
creased owing to better health service and improved sanitary
conditions. The scientist is highly respected.
; The size of the army has been cut to 526,000, half of the
pre-war Czarist forces, Soviet Russia has proposed complete
disarmament but thus far its proposals have fallen on barren

This, paragraph from the report is extremely interesting
when the American world is perplexed by overproduction,

Russia, China desirous of the comforts of the American

Branaers task was to help taese
