Russia
Since the beginning of IMS I saw
a mid-Victorian rig, a horse and bug
gy, pass an automobile on a graded
road. It was not a race. The car
was not running. The motorist was
out changing a tire. The driver of
the rig sat up straight and pressed
his horse for a bit of extra speed
going by, which was funny. The car
owner made the change and drove
into town far ahead of the buggy.
Between 1920 and 1938 the United
States, the world's outstanding in
dustrial nation of all time, had an
industrial depression. Meanwhile the
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
was moving forward; not rapidly
but at an increasing rate. In those
years it was being transformed from
an agricultural to an industrial na
tion, a stage through which America
had passed, half a century before.
A Wind-Broken Nag
Russia was driving a horse named
"Central Planning." The rig made
an interesting dash for improve
ment; not very fast however, nor
very spectacular. Claims made for
the animal's speed were funny; cer
tainly not all true. Living condi
tions in Russia were not as high as
those in America in the pit of our
depression; never have been before
nor since. It was a splurge, better
than Russia had before, but far be
low American achievement.
There is nothing new about Cen
tral Planning. It's as old as horse
drawn equipment. Kings, tyrants
and dictators have always used the
idea. Some have done better with
it than others, depending on the
ruler. Russia's recent rulers have
been anything but stupid. Their
military leadership has the world
agog. Russia has made a marvel
ous fight, using American equipment
extensively.
For National Safety
You would think that Russia, liv
ing next door to an armed desper
ado for 29 years could have ade
quately prepared for war. No; Cen
tral Planning couldn't do it. It took
a raid on Pearl Harbor to wake
America from a sweet dream of
peace, but America went into action
with Private Enterprise and, in four
years, armed the United Nations
for victory. This demonstrates which
system is better tor national safety.
But war is never America's main
objective. We are a peace-loving
people and want to work and pros
per and live well. Some say that
America, in view of Russia's
achievements, ought to junk Free
Enterprise and adopt Central Plan
ning. Knowing that Russia's achieve
ments have never compared to our
own, the suggestion is preposterous.
Let's examine the figures of an ex
pert for a moment:
Development Compered
Leopold Schwarzchild, in his re
cent book called "Primer of the
Coming World," shows some index
figures to make a fair comparison
of industrial gains in similar peri
ods?Russia, while at her best in
1928-38, and America in a similar
period. Here are three for a sample:
U.S.S.R. U.S.A.
Coal Mining 599 1,332
Railroad Budding 38 918
Automobiles 129 2,088
The Russian government is an
autocracy. One political party con
trols everything, including newspa
pers and radio, but not more then
2% of the people belong to it . . .
the upper class. Kick up a rumpus
about it if you want to go to the
salt mines and serve your country
for insufficient board and clothes.
The system overcomes unemploy
ment, but wages are only one-sixth
of wages in America and the stand
ard of living only one-sixth as high.
I am in favor of keeping Private
Enterprise here.
Share Taxes
Of the 48 states levying excise and
sales taxes, 8 share collections
with their municipal governments on
the following basis: California, 54
per cent to cities, counties of origin,
but not available for strictly local
purposes; Massachusetts, reim
bursement of old age assistance
* costs only; New York, nearly 80 per
cent to couiit.es for "wet" communi
ties by population; Oregon, 10 per
cent to "wet" counties of origin;
Rhode Island, 50 per cent to com
munities of origin; South Carolina,
12 cents per gallon spirits where
sold. 12 per cent of beer, wine ex
cise where derived; Tennessee, 4/17
of beer tax to incorporated com
munities; Washington (included hi
monopoly receipts) also 80 per cent
of the added 10 per cent war liquor
tax, by population. Alabama in ad
dition shared 78 per cent of addition
al state 1 cent beer tax levied ir
Jefferson Bounty with cities and
towns in that county.

So the city folk;,
have done it!
Weil, watch our speed!
WORD comes from Washington that the fat-salvage
problem has got to t- licked in the small cities, the
towns and on the farms.
We women have to save enough used fats in our kitchens
to help make munitions, medicines, fabrics, soap for military
and civilian use, and many other essentials.
The job, to date, has been done largely by city people,
because arrangements for collecting the fats were made in
the cities first. Now we're called on. And will we meet
our goal? Jutt watch our speed/
HOW TO DO ITs Scrape broiler and roasting pans, skim
soups and grsviea. Melt down meat trimmings and table
scraps. Add the liquid fat to your salvage can. Take the can
to your butcher when full. He will give you two red points
and up to four cents for every pound. If you have any
difficulty, call your County Agent. This message has been ?
approved by WFA and OPA and paid for by Industry.
