COLLECTION
Miss Moran as She Saw Russia Last Thursday nights meeting of the Socialist^ o f Canada in the Lodge Room of the Agricultural Hall was largely attended. Miss M oran is an able speaker and she has a pleasant voice and held her audience throughout. “ Russia is a nation of m iny complex prob lems and you can believe the best or the worst about it” she said, but we should only compare Rus sia o f to-day with Russia of the past.” In M oscow she found the streets and the people very clean but the people dressed shabbily. You don’t see people looking for jobs, no breadlines and no person hungrily gazing in windows. They have plenty of black bread but a scarcity of tea, pins, needles, shoes, etc. Peoples o f all colors are treated the same within their borders. The former people of leisure cannot go back to former position even if they would. They are well posted in world affairs and know conditions in North America and think they are crazy- In Russia you cannot make money out of money. W o men also have a better chance in their economic freedom, what is
government but taking care of people and women are well pre pared for that job. Things are not quite adjusted in Russia yet. The people were so poor they conldn’t feed the cock roaches and often sold their chil dren. The government have taken good care of the palaces and they are now used for museums and rest homes. Organization went on for years and years in Russia but were constantly blockaded b y Christi an countries during revolutions. In Russia they think there will be another great war. T h at they will be attacked by the capitalis tic countries. The old system of farming is carried on as well as state farming but products are po&led. The government are striving to give everyone an education and all sorts of sports are being encour aged. In closing she claimed that the world is so heavily in debt it will never be able to pay. Britain, she said was still paying interest on money spent to win the battle o f Waterloo.
