a better job of repairing its war damage. Writes Hightower:
By contrast, from the Polish border westward, most of the
. recoverable steel from wrecked war machines has been reclaimed
or' cleaned up into junk heaps. Ruined brick and stone houses
dot the countryside, but new buildings are going up in stone
and brick, as well as wood. The fields in the west are more
intensively cultivated and have a more orderly appearance than
those in Russia. Bomb craters and dugouts seem pretty well
plowed under. J "
Ever since the revolution western comment about Russia
has been tempered with wishful thinking. The pinks have looked
at the socialist experiment with rose-colored glasses while the
critics have exploited its deficiencies. It is easy to fall into
the same habit now; but the facts both by foreign observation
and Russian admission seem to be that recovery in Russia is
very slow. The system is probably much to blame, but the
