ALL ABOARD FOR RUSSIA! t
Authentic information now is
coming out of the Soviet Union,
from behind the Iron Curtain,
jiving striking evidence of the
complete failure of Socialism's
key promise — to provide a
paradise for the wage earners.
That was Karl Marx’s rallying
cry and it has been the bait
dangled before the wage earners
by all Socialists in America and
abroad since Marx wrote his
Communist Manifesto.
Socialism's rosy promise to the
wage earners, ironically, has
failed most miserably in Russia,
the very country which holds it
self up as the perfect example of
100 per cent government owner
ship of the tools of production
and distribution. And it has had
35 years of trial and error in
Russia, under the most rigid ap-

plication of pure Socialism, to
prove its case.
Documented Facts
Anxious to get some concrete
documentation on the failure of
the Socialist economic system in
Russia to raise the living standard
of the wage earners, I wrote our
State Department in Washington,
requesting authentic facts from
behind the Iron Curtain. They
have supplied the facts, and the
picture they paint of the workers'
plight under government owner
ship of the production and distri
bution facilities ought to con
vince any American that So
cialism is the worst possible way
of life.
Before we look at the facts,
let's examine the Russian eco
nomic system to be sure we
understand that it is a Socialist
system. Marx. the Socialist,
founded Communism; he em
phasized that a Socialist economic
system would be necessary.
Under it. the government would
own and operate the facilities of
production and distribution.
Later, he thought, the state
would “wither away," and there
would be no government, only
“social control.'' So for 35 years
Russia has been a Socialist state. [
It calls itself the Union of Soviet
Soc a ’s’ Republics. Its economic
system * like the Socialist sys
tem of England; oaly it is more
advanced
The Toner*
In 35 vears under government
ownership, here's what our Stpte
Department reports. “Soviet
workers have to put up with
whatever labor conditions their
one and only employer (the state)
dictates. Wages are fixed. So
are prices and working hours. ■
Labor discipline is strict and any
breach of its numberless provi
sions is severely punished. All
jobs are frozen. Leaving the place
of employment without the ex
press permission of the manage- [
ment is punishable by imprison- [
ment for from two to four
months: or, in defense industries,
up to eight years.”
Os course there are no labor
unions, and no right to strike, [
Since 1938 every worker has
been required to have a “labor
book” with detailed data on his
i employment history. “This in
ternal passport,” the State Depart
ment reports, “enables the boss
to control the workers effectively
[at all times. To sum up; Labor is
defenseless against the mono
polistic employer—the omnipo
tent state. It is hedged in by
punitive legislation. It is under
constant pressure to increase out
put.”
The Payoff
The $64 question is: Has the >
sweat and toil of the Soviet
worker, not to mention his loss of
freedom, been compensated by a |
better economic life, a higher
standard of living? The answer is
a big NO! There has been no
improvement in the living stand
ard since the Socialist govern
ment took over all private pro
perty 35 years ago. Today the
Russian factory worker must
work nearly an hour to earn
enough to buy one pound of
potatoes. Under privately owned,
competitive enterprise, the
American factory worker does it
in two minutes. All food items
present similar comparisons.
Housing is another example. As
many as three families live in
three and four-room houses or
apartments in a poverty stricken
atmosphere. The clothes of the
average Russian worker are
pitifully poor.
Instead of the state gradually
withering away, as Marx promis
ed. it gets more powerful and
brutal. A powerful bureaucratic
class has grown up In it are
selected members of the Com
munist Party which numbers only
: 6 000.000 members. These rulers
[live richly. The other 194.000,-
1000 Russians are economic
I slaves. This is full Socialism in
practice — government owner
[ ship. The facts should alert all
Americans, especially wage earn
ers tn resist further government
encroachment into the realm of
[ production and distribution. That
[ is the road of economic slavery.
Teacher Turnover
In Ga. At Low Ebb
So you hear from some quart
ers that Georgia isn't doing right
by her teachers! Well, take a
Inok at the State Department of
Education's latest records which
show’ that Georgia had one of
the lowest teacher turnovers on
[ record during the last four months
of 1952.
Os 25,130 teachers employed in
the public schools, only 427 left,
their jobs. The vacancies were
attributed to resignations, deaths
and other causes. Higher salary
schedules under the Minimum
Foundatjon Program are said to
be bringing many new teachers
into the state also.

WASHINGTON—The deaths of •
AFL President William Green
and CIO President Philip Mur
ray within the space of two weeks <
does not necessarily mean that
the era of personal leadership in
’labor unions is at an end.
The new crop of labor chief-;
tains gives every reason to’:
believe that the big unions will
continue to reflect the distinct
personalities of their individual
leaders.
Up-and-coming leaders in the <
CIO include fiery Walter R p uther
of the United Automobile Work
ers; James B. Carey. CIO secre
tary-treasurer. who also heads
the Electriacl Workers, and
Joseph A. Beirne, of the Com
munications Workers.
The AFL has its virile leaders
also and possibly the greatest in

former AFL and CIO leader, John

SHANGRI-LA (GOP STYLE)
—President - elect Dwight D.
i Eisenhower's choice of Augusta,
Ga., as a vacation spot is a pretty
good tip-off on where Ike will
go if he follows the pattern of
his Democratic predecessors in
setting up what amounts to a
winter White House.
As is well known, President
Truman has been partial to the
warm sun of remote Key West,
Fla., for his winter vacation
junkets. He has regularly set up
I temporary residence there.
However. Ike apparently
prefers a somewhat cooler clim
ate. Augusta in winter sometimes
has a crisp chill in the air but
rarely ever bitter cold. Moreover,
the golfing facilities are superb, •
which is fight down General
Eisenhower's alley.
The new President, of course,
has that celebrated farmstead
outside Gettysburg, Pa., but
Pennsylvania scarcely seems a
[ likely choice for a winter
vacation.
j Ike's strong preference for
Augusta is further emphasized by
the fact that hr has vacationed
there several other times since
the end of World War 11.
♦ • ' ♦ *
RIG TlME—Along some of the
other economy lines, President
elect Eisenhower fits right in.
However, despite the President
elect's announced preference of
a “simple” inauguration ceremony
Jan. 20, the public is expected to
decide otherwise.
This will be the first inaugura
tion of a Republican President
since 1928 and every indication
is, that it will be made into a
big occasion despite the general's
wishes
