L ittle h«« boon noticed of th#
rool tMt which la (oloc on lit-
aid# Soviet Kuaala In rocent
year* bocauao tho clamor of
theory and proclamatlona haa filled
the eara of the world. Theoriea have
hoen meettnf Indlriduallam ttlilrh la ao
■■i T *ra*l In hamanlty, unwritten rulea
ot life and trade which have developed
through the agea, and world lawa
which centuries have formulated for
nations.
Ruasla la the world's largest coun
try, stretching across two continents,
nod when theory and practice reach a
balance, the teat of a new system of
government will have world-wide ef-
Polltlcally, It la divided Into alx con-
rtltuent republics; they in turn com
prise 88 autonomous units, each dlf-
•rrlng ethnoloftcally and culturally.
Moat of them have their own lan
guage, their own customs and cos
tume*, and the babel of tongues be
comes even greater from the tribes
who are as yet too backward for self-
government
Cities and villages string along the
railroads and river* over all that vast
territory. As one ride* over the Si
berian steppe* the plains seem un
ending. Then n peasant's cart Is seen
In the distance, the Invariable dog
trotting behind. Soon appear other
carts, all going In the satne direction.
Then a village of log houses, with
perhapa a public building and a de
parted aristocrat’s brick house, al
ways painted white, and the ever-pres
ent church, with Its five Turkish-
shaped towers, the large one In the
center for Christ nnd4he smaller ones
on the comers for the four Gospel*.
The train vanishes again over the un
ending plains, varied only by stretches
of forest or hills, which seem to come
and go a* suddenly as the villages.
Moscow a Hugo Village.
Moscow, metropolis and capital of
Russia, Is the largest village In the
world. Moscow has Its trolley cars,
electric lights, tall buildings, theaters,
•tores, motor busses, and other out
ward metropolitan manifestations, but
at heart It Is a village. Leningrad,
Odessa, and even some of the cities
of the interior have an appearance
und an atmosphere of western Europe;
Moscow is the heart of Russia and It
changes slowly.
Its brick and stone are a mosaic of
Iha Russian splrit-Mriolld. unsmiling,
unpolished, and slow to change. Even
the unpalnted log houses of the peas
ant villages seem to reflect age and
wubtllty.
Moscow la sprinkled with what Is
r, but everywhere ft speaks M, age,
the weathen-beaten walla of the
CXtj to battlemented monas-
on the outskirts. Broad thor-
'TUdlate from Its center, but
corner the streets are
Mdewalki no wider than
Qiri» of Today.
Fires have wiped It away. Invaders,
from Tatar* to Napoleon, hare de
stroyed It. government* have come and
gone, but Moscow, stubborn and dull,
has persisted. It symbolleea Russia.
It , Is only a step from Moscow,
overcrowded and teeming with Its
peoples of many races, with rulea for
every movement and police to en
force them, into th«* wild, wide-open
spaces Wolves and hears still roam
In the Moscow district, and when the
dull winter dusk cornea at 2 o’clock In
the afternoon and the country Is under
Its white mantle of snow, hunger
drives them to prey on mankind.
In daylight hours a constant humtn
stream jostles through the towered
Iberian gate In Moscow In the wall
between the Red Square and the Place
of the Revolution outside the Kltal Go-
rod (Fortified City). Men In sheep
skin coats, the greasy leather outside
and the fur Inside, clerks In glossy
leather jackets; officials with beaver
collars, brief cases under their arms;
women in felt boots; girl* In slippers,
with bundles, hahlcs, snd carts, were
tramping through the slush, for this
was a winter evening.
Between the gntes In the center of
the road la a shrine and inside the
wall a church. The faithful pause and
make the sign of the cross as they
pass. Others enter. Patriarchal,
bearded beggars, hands outstretched,
stand at the doors.
Beggars and Robber Gangs.
Begging Is a lu< ratIve profession in
Moscow except for the few days of
sporadic police round-ups. Beggars
are of nil types and both sexes, from
infants who toddle underfoot while an
older head directs them from the side
lines, to husky rascals faithful to a
vow of “I won’t work.”
Differing from the whining beggars
are the 200,000 to 300*000 homeless
children, pariahs of the social order,
rugged, sooty-faced from sleeping in
the embers of street repair gangs’ fur
naces, dirty, diseased, dope-poisoned,
and desperate. They run In packs.
A gang straggles through the gate,
hugging the curb, eyes alert, the world
a potential enemy, its plan of action
decided. The leader grabs a woman's
handbag, a man’s fur cap, and over
turns an unwary peddler’s basket of
apples. . The basket is picked clean,
and with wild screams the gang Is
gone, scattering through the streets,
policemen and pedestrians in vain pur
suit. . •
In several cities homes are main
tained by the government for these
young vagabonds—heritage of war and
revolution, but augmented every
month by wanderlust—with baths,
clean cots, clothes, food, and a care
taker to give them Instruction and ad
vice. Personal liberty goes amiss with
this aodal group, too yoong to ap
preciate dvie responsibility even If
they had been taught it Police and
■octal workers periodically round up
the wild, untamed children end put
them in the
The crowds elbow through the
white-painted brick gates, In and out
of the Red Square, betweep a gaunt
let of t venders. Baskets and clumsy
little wagons are on the curb; also
flabby, brown, frozen apples for a cent
and fat ones, carefully sheltered under
blankets, for 40 cents; stands of cig
arettes, each with one and a quarter
Inches of tobacco and three Inches of
paper mouthpiece; oranges for 70
cents; cheeses, cut and weighed while
you wait; candies collecting dust;
dried sunflower seeds, two cents a
glassful.
Phasss of ths Social Movement
The goal which Soviet Russia hks
set Is to Industrialize the country un
til it can supply Its domestic needs.
It will then be Independent of thd out
side world. The United States is taken
as a model, not the countries of Eu
rope, which have developed Industry
by colonies and foreign trade. Until
that goal Is reached, or abandoned, no
wars of Russia’s making need be an
ticipated.
The social movement In Russia may
be divided Into three phases: First,
to arouse the workers to a revolution;
second, to Instill the Idea In their
minds that they were the rulers of the
country; third, to Impress them that
they must produce.
The third stage has now been
reached. More and more emphasis''!*
laid on the fact th- ♦ the worker must
produce results snd devote less time
to theorising and talking. Stalin re
cently In one of hla rate speeches de
clared too much time was given to
celebrations, meet I- g^ and anniversa
ries. As practical illustration he dted
that the marketing of the grain was
| costing IS kopecks a pood when It
should cost St
| When summer comes, the face of na
ture changes Ilka the spirits of the
volatile people. Daylight, which faded
Into the winter gloom at 2 o'clock.
I tints the cloudless skies until 10 at
night Dusty roads which were lost
I under the drifting snows are stirred
by travelers, nature smiles, and the
lonesome stretches where the wolf
packs bowled are green and flourlsh-
Ing. - —.
The queues which shivered In front
of the bathhouse*—“the neatness of
Moscow citizens Is characterized by
eight or nine washing parties a year,’’
says the economics department—are
gone and every watercourse Is lined
with bathers In the garb of Adam and
Eva.
WHEN I WAS
TWENTY-ONE
BY JOSEPH KAYE
AT 21—Brander. Matthews Had His
Manuscripts Rejected With Unfailing
Regularity.
((
I WAS only two months more than
twenty-one when my two -years’
attendance at ^olumbla Law school
ended at last. I managed somehow to
answer the. questions put to me. After
I passed the examination, and before
the commencement at which I was to
.receive my degree I married and left
almost immediately for a honeymoon
In Europq.
“While I was still at law school my
contributions to the tnaguztnes were
rejected with exemplary speed. In
The Critic’ Sheridan tells us that
‘When they do agree on the stage their
unanimity Is wonderful,’ and equally
wonderful ~to me was the unanimity
of editors. No matter how laboriously
I might feather my essays they were
homing pigeons; and I 0001(1 always
count on another swift return. With
the modest coafldence of youth I was
but little discouraged; and while one
article was vainly paying Its round of
visits I was already engaged upon an
other.—Brander Matthews.’’ ►
TODAY—The receipt of a Brander
Matthews in an editorial' office la
hailed with respect and pleasure and
a check Is made out even before It Is
read, for Sir. Sfatthews Is among the
most famous of *11 American critics,
and writers on the theater, besides
being a notable figure In the other
branches of literature. Perhapa U
might be said that Slatthews Is the
George Brandes of this country* a
comparison with which even JHs
name Is In harmony.
(A by MrClur* Ntw*p*p*» Syndic*!*.)
We shall advance when we have
learned humility; when we have
learned to seek truth, to reveal It and
publish it; when we‘cafe more for that
than for the privilege of arguing about
Ideas In a fog of uncertainty—Walter
Llppman.
