seek outside markets for her pro
ducts und her supply will cause a
decrease in other countries' trade
with each other. As the peasant
works for little more than a mere
existence the cost of production is
very low, hence they can sell be
low other nations who are paying
a good living wage. Land ennnot
be bought and sold but may be
leased for a long term of years.
Russia has to employ outside skill
ed workmen and engineers; they
have now employed' 700 American
engineers. They have paid the
Ford company $23,000,000 and
$26. 000,000 to the General Elec
tric. Witlv.nll this expenditure of
money the condition of the people
is deplorable.
Mrs. Janes gave the book review
Ahead," by the Russian planning
commission.
Mrs. Janes had given much
thought to her subject and her re
view was most enlightening. Tho
problem o the government nt this
time Is how to keep 150,000,000
millions of people busy. They are
having shorter hours and few dayH
to work in to help solve this prob
lem. The housing problem is one
of the hardest situations to handle.
The state has almost complete con
trol of all public works, the devel
opment of all resources, the build
ing innd maintaining of public
schools, factories and the public
day . nurseries where the small
children of the thousands of work
ing women nre cared for while the
mother works in factory or field.
Kvet;yone must have one day out
the seven for rest, but the keeping
of Sunday has been completely
abolished. The people have no
mental or spiritual freedom, their
pvery act Is dominated by the gor
tuiiiiient. jl oiien tanes weeKs lor
a person to get permission to go
from one city to another. The
peasant cannot own more than 15
acres of land and cannot employ
anyone outside his family to work
upon It. Mrs. Janes also gave many
facut as to Russia of today from
JJriener's hook, "Looking at Soviet
Russia-."
Mrs. Hodges led the discussion
of current events In Russia, clos
ing with a number of interesting
facts quoted from many of the
leading newspapers und Maga
zines. They are still carrying on
their anti-Christian campaign by
lecturing to great groups of young
. people, telling them it is all a false
Illusion. Many are suffering from
cold and famine. Many of our j
wide-awake writers and students
of this condition in Russia are
warning the people of the United
Stutes against that kind of propa
ganda which is so freely being
talked to our young people. This
propaganda is being worked in our
lurger cities and among the col
ored peoples of the south. It also
was brought out that Russia has
the largest and best organized
army in the world, yet her peoples
are -starving and millions being
huddled together in the most de
ptotiihle and unsanitary conditions.
Yet many in the United States are
favoring Russia's so-called free
dom. The next meeting will be guest
day, January 7, at the home of the
social chairman, Mrs. Leu?l.

This distinctly classic style de

hear and calls for the closest at

b Wilson Wait, conductor of the
high school orchestra, by his en

his group to their best and most
loyal effort. It is highly plead
