His pooks are regarded as reliable and free from prejudice. His knowledge of the lectures which he recently gave more dispassionate than either bxUhe experiment or of Will Durant whose hurried obserya- lions inaae Julia a Dllier xuc. ua cunmmmami. wus uua nM inton therefore to Chamberlin's ' article 'The Balance Sheet of the Five Year Plan" miATerlv of "Foreiim Affairs". . The five-year plan aroused and hope in Russia and foreboding and dread in otner na tions who feared either that a conspicuous success would commend the communistic system to their own peoples or that Russian industrial development would result in dump ing of products on a vast scale. Certainly none of the fears of the outside worldproved well founded; and the hope and dream of the commissars in 1928 have fallen, far short of accomplishment. - ' - . Conceived for the joint agricultural and Industrial de velopment of the country on a wide , scale, the plan in, its practice is tnus aesennea Dy namoexun: Agriculture has been sacrificed to industry; while the un mistakably rapid large-scale industrial construction which has been achieved has been at the expense of an equally unmistak able deterioration in the general living standard. It is true that the country has been dotted with new industrial cities and big factories; but efficient operation of the plants has not yet been attained. In the oil, tractor and machine-building divisions the goals have been exceeded; but in iron, steel and coal production the results have been far below expectations. The quantity of the factory output has been increasing rapidly, though quality is everywhere deficient. . The great failure has been in agriculture. Fifteen mil lion peasant households have been organized into collective farms and many state farms were created, but the cereal nroduction has declined. Chamberlin observes: r "The stimulus ot private ownership ot land is a tremend- ously strong one In agricultural pursuits; and so far, despite much experimentation. It cannot bo said that s satisfactory sub- . stltuto has been found. The process euphemistically described as liquidation of the kulaks' which involved the economic ex termination of the moro prosperous four or five Jtereenrot the peasantry, is also bearing bitter fruits." Food shortasres have been continuous' The decline In the number of animals in the flocks and herds has cut. down the meat supply in the cities. Chamberlin comments: , "The five-year plan has gone definitely awry In the com . plicated sphere of prices, costs and wage-scales. The original plan prescribed a steady-rise in money-wages, to be accompanied by an even greater increase in real wages as sv result of a re- -v.; duction in the cost of living. The process of Increasing money wages has gone ahead even faster than the plan foresaw; and it would be easy to create a misleading impression of a rapidly I rising standard ot living "by merely citing money wage increases without mentioning the highly important tact that the purchas ing power of the ruble has been dropping much taster than the wages have been rising. . .There can bo no reasonable doubt. In the light of such obvious facts as the increasingly scanty allot ments on ration cards, the fantastically high prices which pre vail in the open markets, the execrable quality and scant va riety ot food in almost all the cheaper eating-places, and the - complete lack of such simple things as tea and sugar -in many agricultural districts, that the great majority of the soviet pop ulation la distinctly wore off. , was before the plan was initiated.. Some people have hailed to the virtue of "planned economy". But Chamberlin says: , . "Accurate and balanced planning had extremely little to do with such industrial progress as Russia, has achieved dur ing the last few years. Some of ther miscalculations which, wers made both in laying out the original plan and in executing it were so glaring that if the functioning of the soviet economic ; system had depended upon precise fulfilment of the original es- v timates a very negative verdict would have been necessary. . . . . Unless some country , desires to adopt the soviet system lock, ' ., stock and barrel. . '. the planned economy that is essentially r: a part and function of the communist dictatorship perhaps ot ters more scope tor study than for imitation.-. Finally these are the problems ahead for Russia as it launches its second five-year First, the restoration of Second, is the training of executives, engineers and trained workers who can operate efficiently the big factor ies that have .been built. -" Third, how to maintain a satisfactory balance of pay ments in international trade in the face of contracting mar kets and falling prices which - have prevailed during the world crisis. "" J Instead of accomplishing the industrialization of Rus sia in five years or; in ten years, Chamberlin thinks it will take most of the present century; so the outside world need have no fear of immediate submergence.

CopelanrL BIJ). OUR DISCOVERT of an anu-toxis for diphtheria and a similar treat ment of scarlet fever have gone fat towards krwerlng the death rate of children. No one wul deny that with better care of measles, chicken pes and other diseases of childhood, the death rate has been greatly do-, creased. .But bow. comes the tm-r comfortable statement that the num ber of deaths caused by diphtheria In certain locahttes has increased with, in the past year. Te what can we attrQmte this la- ereaset - It Is because there has been a de unite decrease In the number ot ihadren receiving the immunization treatment of diphtheria. "This la in toed vnfortunate, because diphtheria' Is a disease that can be prevented. ' Every child should be given this protection. It Is a simple procedure and administered without pain or discomfort, It every chQd would be tamnunlxed from diphtheria when he reached the age of nine months, diphtheria would soon become as rare a disease as smallpox. Dinatkerla "Carrisrs" X am confident that if all mothers realized the grave danger of diph theria they would not hesitate t take Immediate steps te protect their children. Of course the children are sate If they are net exposed te the germs of the disease. But when and bow that exposure may take place Is something we cannot foretell. Diphtheria germs are present everywhere. They grow In contam inated mule They are found on soiled cups, drinking fountains, " pencils. Dsns, forks, spoons and other ob jects soUed by persons suffering from this disease. Another danger that we must guard against la that of Infection by the so-called diphtheria "carriers''. Diphtheria carriers are persona who are perfectly wsU themselves, but harbor the diphtheria germs, From what I have said yew wul agree that It Is practically Impossible to guard your child from the germs of diphtheria, . Unfortunately, it la impossible te determine accurately when these germs are present. But the chad can be protected by diph theria inoculations, it confers -im munity", protection against the dla ia u ins cnua is exposea to xne germs he wis not contract the dis ease If proper immunity has been given. . lajectioae Are Safe w ' The injections are safe and no mother should be alarmed about this procedure. The treatment Is given In three Injections at weekly Inter vals. Infants may receive It as early as the ninth month. I cannot over-emphasize the . Im portance, the real necessity of taking the Inoculations for protection against diphtheria. The decrease tn the number of children who receive the immunization treatment may be attributed to the present economio situation. But this Is no excuse.

It was also known as 'Qrlswold's opera house. It housed some fine actors In Its time and also many historical meetings. Mem ory recalls perhaps not correct ly that the sentencing ot Beale and Baker tor the murder of De- laney took plaoo in this opera house. It was planned to create panls by announcing In some way that the opera house was unsafe, and while the panic was on to penult the prisoners to es cape. The panle part worked; one woman fsiated, which added to the trouble,' but the prisoners did not get away; were sentenced and hanged.' - "Grlswold also put in a water system tor South Salem. He got the water from a well which he dug just south . of the mill pond. The . tower was - erected at the west end of the 'agricultural works.' The water was nothing but seepage from the mill pond.
