Russia Under Soviet
Effects Many Changes



New Social and Industrial Order
Inaugurated Since the
Revolution.



USES WESTERN DEVICES



. Last Thursday evening, November
¥, Dr: Mildred Fairchild, Associate in
Social Economy. and Social Research,
spoké in Goodhart Hall on “A New
Industrial Order in Russia.”
ture was the second of the two lec-

Her lec-

tures on Russia given under the aus-
Pices of the Graduate Club. Dr. Fair-
child discussed the growth and organi-
zation of*state capitalism in Russia as
well. as» what the problems of the

Soviet are and how these problems are
being met. .

Although Agriculture is in much the
same position that it was before the
Revolution, in Industry there has been
enormous. change, change in purpose,
organization and résults to consumer
and producer. The private industry
that has persisted in Russia for the last

_ten years is now. being forced to sell |



out to the Soviet; the Hammer Pencil
‘Company’s sale is a recent example.

The organization of .industry under
the Soviet may well be called state cap-
italism. Syndicates; trusts. and cor-
porations are government owned and
it is the government that receives arid
dispenses their profit. Although wages
are steadily increasing;
profit is going into the expansion of
industry. T Soviet has made tre-
‘mendous progress in expansion. In
1925 and 1926 production was brought
up to its*pre-war level; during the war
there had only been 15 per cent. of
pre-war production. Since 1927. pro-
duction has been increased until itis
almost twice what it was in 1913. . Un-
der the Five Year Plan now in opera-
tion production is being increased 2
per: -cent:-each year,--an- enormous
amount.

We read in the newspapers of coun-
ter-revolutionary plots to overthrow
the Soviet; a far greater task than
protecting herself from these rebels is
the. building up of industry. We must
remember that the industrial popula-
tion of Russia is a small proportion of
the ‘total population, only one fifth.
Industrialism is rapidly spreading,
however, and many new factories have
been built. There is a great contrast
between these new factories and. the
old ones deficient in light, air and
space. Many old factories are being
remodeled as well.

Factory a Social Unit

The new factory is a social as well
as an industrial center. Often in order
that the factory my be near its raw
materials, it is placed in the middle! 6f
a wilderness. Before its building is

_ complete,. however, about it have been

grouped clubs, theater, school, creche,
day nursery, perhaps a stadium, every
social public utility except a church.
These new settlements have been
forced to fight against the peasant’s
aversion to change; he is especially
conservative in matters of sanitation.

Government control of industry is
highly centralized. In the last ten
years many syndicates and large ‘con-
solidations have been made, notably in
textiles, steel and paper. All industrial
budgeting is done by a government
planning bureau.

We must. not overstress centraliza-
tion, however. The director of each
factory is responsible for his factory’s

a making its profits: Head directors are



appointed by the trusts and-represent
the workmen. They are assisted. in
each factory by a technical director and
his staff. In addition, each factory has
four directing committees, industrial,
‘labor protection, cultural work and
mass organization. _ The first of these
especially assists in getting out produc-
tion. In-a-large factoryeach~commit-

tee has its subcommittees. ae four

Dr. Smith Analyses
Results of Election



Professor William Roy Smith spoke
on the Results of the Election in
chapel Thursday, November 13.
The outstanding result. of the 1930
election is the gains of the Democratic
Party as compared with two years ago.
These gains include eight seats in the
Senate and fifty-one in the House of
Representatives, ‘but the party will not
apparently _be able to control either
house.
net have the balance of power in con-
gress, and the Farmer-Labor members
will probably decide the vote.

The. trend was more noticeable in
the Gubernatorial elections: Eighteen
Democratic Governers, thirteen Re-
publican, one Farmer-Labor and” one
Independent. - Democratic Governors
will #eplace Republicans in seven
cases; and both the Farmer-Labor and
Independent will replace Republicans.

The main cause for this change is
the industrial depression. The Repub-
lican Party is not responsible for the
depression, ‘yet the vote against the
party is justified because Republicans
have so long claimed the assets of good
times. In addition the Republican
Party has brought disfavor upon itself
by not doing enough to check the de-



a higher-level than ever before has only
aggravated the situation.

A second and exaggerated cause for
Republican unpopularity is the revolt
against Prohibition. Revolt actually
took place in’ Massachusetts, .Rhode
Island and Illinois where referenda
were ‘held, and in Ohio where a wet

candidate defeated a dry cangidate for

the Senate. In most of the other
States the defeated candidates for Gov-
ernor or Senator were usually as wet
as the victors. The-wets gained four
or five Senators and about forty mem-
bers in the House of Representatives,
but, nevertheless, still have ‘less than
a one-third vote in either house, and a
two-thirds vote is necessary to initiate
an amendment.

“Devil’s Disciple”

The Varsity Players. and the Cap
and Bells Club of Haverford have de-
cided td give the “Devil's Disciple,” by
G. B. Shaw, on Friday and Saturday,
December 12 and 13. The play will
be directed by Jasper Deeter, direc-
tor of the Hedgerow Theatre, Moylan-
Rose Valley.



Tryouts for the women’s parts will
be: held: in Goodhart this Thursday
evening promptly at 7 o’clock:” All
but freshmen.are_eligible,-and there are
copies of the play,on the Varsity Dra-
matic’s reserve shelf in the library.

There is, we think, more action and
less moralizing in this play than in
The setting-is colo-
nial- New ~England. The women’s
parts are: Mrs. Dudgeon, an elderly
Puritan matron, who “being” exceed-
ingly disagreeable is considered ex-
ceedingly good”; Essie, the bar-sinister
of thé family, a “wild, timid-looking
creature,” about sixteen years old;
Judith “Anderson, who “has been ad-
mired and petted into an opinion of
herself sufficiently favorable to give
her the self-assurance. which serves her
instead of strength.’ There are two
minor characters, Mrs. Dudgeon’s sis-
ters-in-law; who appear at the family
council in the first scene, and a crowd
of townsfolk in the execution scene at
the end. : .

The author’s preface’ “On Diabolo-
nian Ethics” explains that the hero’s
championship of the devil.is a direct

-outcome of his need for a-religion that

is not to be found in the decadent Puri-
tanism of ‘his home. This identity of
Good and Evil is far from being an
idea original with Shaw, for, as he

points out, “from Prometheus to Wag-|

ner’s Siegfried, some enemy of the
gods, uriterrified champion of those op-
pressed by them, has always towered

Varsity to Play Match



On Saturday Teams Contest in
23rd Meet Since 1908,
Varsity Winning Four. .



PROSPECT INTERESTING



On Saturday, November 22, the day
when many of the men’s colleges will
be playing their objective game of_ the
season, Varsity will meet the All-
Philadelphia hockey team for the
twenty-third time. This series, which
was started in 1908, although fre-
quently-not‘successful for Bryn Mawr,
has produced many exciting frays and
the game this year should rival the best
previous ones.

The first game that comes to our
attention is that of 1914 when Bryn
Mawr, playing with a forward line
which, as an old report has it, was.
literally “geo-metri-cally straight,” tied’
*hiladelphia. The greatest day in the
history of Bryn Mawr hockey is No-
vember 25, 1916. On that morning the
team made a “record end to a, record
season” by. beating All-Philadelphia,
3-0. Not one game had been lost all
season and opponents had only scored
a total of four goals, while Varsity had
amassed thirty-three. For the first
time in history the yellow and white
college banner hung on the gym, to
celebrate the first. defeat of All-Phila-
delphia. In an old News editorial we
learn that “singing was coached this
year at regular song practices, and the
conquering temper of the 1916 -Var-
sity has”engendered in the College’ a
feeling comparable to the: growth of
a national spirit among _ separate
‘states”’ Bryn Mawr gained three suc-

Miss Park Travels in 7
Desert for Eight Days



Miss Park continued the story of
her visit to Egypt in chapel on Tues
day, November 18. With Miss Cath-
erine *Lord, of the Windsor Schofl,
in Boston, she went South, up the Nile
to Assuan, where Egypt: no, longer
seems to be a part of the civflized
world but to identify itself wifh thé
African continent in appearange and |
spirit. Here they decided t¢ get a|
caravan of their own to go/into. the
desert. After trial trips intd the sur-
rounding deserts to. get used to camel
riding, they platined their /journey to
Luxor by the road betw¢en the Nile
and the Red Sea with ax Arab guide
who -had been with Rodgsevelt’s party
and with the Princess/ Mary on ‘her
visit to Egypt. The xight before the
trip they spent in fhe desert near
Assuan. It was the first’ night of
Ramadan, and the sdtinds of the drums
beating and the people crying out dur-
ing the night made -their coming ex-
pedition seem vfry wild and fool-
hardy. They were pleasantly surprised
when the Sheik jof Caravans came the
next day to register their names, des-








tination, and expected date of arrival

at Luxor.
The . carayan consisted of eight

camels and A baby camel who “made

the caravan/look nice” but was a nui-
Sance to /every one, including the
camels. - Miss Park and Miss. Lord
were mounted on the large white rid-
ing cam#¢ls, whose pacing is so com-
fortable/ that travelers can ride eight
to ten/hours a day without fatigue.
The shen accompanying the camels
were especially picturesque, not tall
but wonderfully made with fuzzy hair

way, as we looked the figure ceased
bouncing, and began to roll. ~ It looked
rather like a sea urchin, but what we
took for prickles were really legs,
hundreds of them, all kicking in the
melee. The sight was most alarming,
and for the first time in our life (so
we're optimists, are we?) we doubted
our sanity. But it was not for long.
Came the dawn, and we; recognized
Cissy. Our eyes~ filled with tears. at
the thought of our little companion
curled up into an interpretation of a
bouncing, rolling ball. “Just a rollick-
ing ball,” we “sobbed. And we were
right. E

Suddenly, all was quiet. Cissy came
to -a lie-still, disentangled her legs,
arose and/shook herself ecstatically:

Dr. Herbert H. Fritz

On November 12 at 4 o'clock in the
Church of the Redeemer, Bryn Mawr,
Margaret Peter, '32, was married to



bride’s- friends and classmates ftom
college attended the ceremony and re-
ception following and Elizabeth Gill,
32, was a bridesmaid. The wedding
party was a harmony of lavender and
yellow. The dresses were simple, old-

.|fashioned gowns of orchid ‘georgette

trimmed with fuscia-colored velvet
sashes at the natural: waistline.

The bridesmaids wore small velvet
hats of the same shade, and_ orchid
shoes with dark velvet bows. ' They
carried spray bouquets of large orchid
chrysanthemums and tiny orchid and
fuscia-colored baby chrysanthemumis,
the shades of which exactly matched
the colers of the dresses. Mrs. Fritz’s
sister, Miss Eleanor Peter, was maid
of honor, and wore the same style
dresses as the bridesmaids only carried
out in the yellows and browns, and her
flawers corresponded. The bride was
lovely and not a bit sad. -Her train
was of the fish: tail variety in dark egg-
shell tulle. Her dréss was dark egg-
‘shell satin. 7
was no weeping at:this wedding. ‘The
bride and groom were sent off on
their honeymoon midst a great shower

we hope we were mistaken. _
“Thank $af, Miss Centipede. Your
interpretation’ ‘showed great feeling,
and a true appreciation of the aesthetic
quality of your subject,’ said a de-

lightful voice. ee
I—I,” —

“Please, may I go now?
Cissy’s voice broke. “I—.”
“Yes, I understand. You are quite

overcome by the beauty of it all. Yes,
you may. go and think .it over alone.”
Cissy’s eyes beamed with a celestial
light. She, floated toward the door and
beckoned “to us. We cast a furtive
glance about, and once more forsaking
the.,.altar,.of Nature, we sneaked out
behind Cissy.

“Sh-h,” she: said. ‘There's big do-
ing tonight. Folféw pe. So out into
the night we went, Cissy prancing
along ahead,.in the various guises of
butterfly, will-o-the-wisp and kangaroo,
Time passed, as was to be expected,
and we found ourselves in the village,
but we hardly recognized our alma
urbs. The streets were thronged with
shouting people, and we looked around
for Admiral Byrd- or at least Fred
Allen. Cissy pushed her way through

; someone’s legs to the front of the line,

and we followéd, though not so di-
rectly. And there we beheld.a sorry
sight: a procession of young men
blindfolded and in pajams was making
its way along the main street, and they
were smeared’ with valerian, the mod-
ern form for tar and feathers.‘
“Horrible,” we gasped. What a ter-
rible crime they must have .commit-:
ted!” We looked again and, to be
sure, there was the emblem of their
shame: around the neck of each was
a card saying, “I ama Freshman.” We
heard a_ noise. beside us, half sniffle,
half snort. We -looked down; Cissy’s
nose was buried in our skirt. . s
“Poor. lambs!” she moaned. And to
think they’ve come two miles from Vil-
lanova. This sort of thing makes one
reflect upon life. Good old Bryn
Mawr; at least it has no Freshman in-
itiation ceremonies. “Oh, look at that
poor little fellow nearest us. I think
he’s goifig to fall.” Cissy was almost
right. The youth in question stumbled,
and madly tore the bandage from’ off
his eyes. He beheld Cissy, and fell on
his knees, o
“Dear Gutardian Angel,” he whisp-
“I knew you'd save me from
this fate which is worse than death.
You have come, you have come!”
Cissy stretched out her arms, and as
she did so she notiged that they were
covered with pink draperies. :
“Look at it,” she screamed. “I must
have forgotten. It’s my dancing cos-
tume!” _And_she fled. Behind, the

Services in Memory of
Theodore de Laguna

CONTINUED FROM THE FIRST PAGE

which it is also hoped may be edited -for
publication.

As he was returning to begin his twen-
ty-fourth year of work at Bryn Mawr he
died suddenly at Hardwich, Vt., not far
from his summer home, on September 22,

~ 1930.

Introduced Formulated Plan for
Graduate School

To Bryn Mawr College Professor de
Laguna made two great gifts: his teach-
ing and his way of life. Of the first others
are to speak at first hand, his colleagues
at other colleges, Professor Montague
and Professor Blanshard, for his con-
tribution to American Philosophy and his
brilliant pupil both as an undergraduate
and graduate; Professor Parkhurst: for
the way he chose to convey. his. subject
matter to his pupils. But.to those of us
who could not share the kindling of his
philosophic. discussion and who. were-not
in his classroom, he came as a fine and
untrammeled human being interested in
all human things, a friend of: all social
and educational- reform, a passionate up-
holder, if I may say so, of the independ-
ence of women, whether the women were
in his own gifted family, or among the
succession of his students or the indus-
trial workers who come to the campus
each summer and.on whose board he sat
for the first years in the summer school.
He was sensitive to music and greatly
gifted in it, composing both for singing
and for the guitar which for many of us
he turned into a new and delightful in-
strument, so that the music of today as
Mr. Alwyne and the quartette play it
will recall him no less than: the words
we say. He-was interested in any. prob-



lem that concerned the college at large;

he helped in the Thorne School curricu-
lum; he protested against the-inereasing
~ pressure, as he thought it, of a curriculum
which took away the leisure, the “spring”
of mind and body with which he believed
good work was done; hé made the sug-
gestion with all the financial details ap-
pended which led to the establishing of
ther Graduate School in. Radnor ‘Hall.

He was non-faultfinding or jealous: or
pettyminded. My _ heart never sank
when he came into the office for I knew
he had come on.a clearcut errand of
news, or suggestion or offer ‘of assist-
_ ance, and when we discussed some tangled
matter he did it as objectively as if he
were conveying it from Mars or hetter,
from some philosophical heaven. Pro-
fessor Alfred North Whitehead _has_writ-
ten to Mrs. de Laguna: “In thinking
of him I realize his combination of keen-
ness ‘of mind with loveableness of charac-
ter. In conversation he probed and an-
alyzed, but his analysis was always di-
rected to bring out the best points in the
thoughts of -others. This characteristic
was so natural and. intuitive for him that
at first one hardly noticed it. But it
made the enjoyment of his presence. It
was the outcome of great quality ‘of
character.” :

Bryn Mawr has lost an honest and |
keen scholar; it has also lost an honest"
and keen and endearing human being.
It will long remember him vividly and
gratefully.



Dr. Montague Adds Praises

“A good friend is gone and we meet to
pay homage to his memosy. His life has
been a gain to us who knew him:and for
that very reason our loss is the greater.
But death brings not only a_ stabbing
sadness to those who remain but: a
heightened sense of the values incarnate
in' the life that has actually been. Noth-
ing in the future can deprive the world
of its, past, and nothing can deprive us
of the joy and the inspiration which we
have already gained from the one whose
memory we cherish. As time slowly
passes our sorrow. that we could not
have’ had more of our. friend will give
place to gratitude that we had so much.
For the more happy our memories the
more truly will it be borne in upon us
that a good life is more good than its
cessation is bad.

Theodore de Laguna was very much
of an individual and his. personality had
many sides. My first impression of him
and one that grew in strength as I came
to know him was of a certain vibrant
intensity of feeling for philosophical ideas.
It is easy to be passionate about’ con-
crete matters, and it is usual—at least so
one would hope—for philosophers to be
interested in the abstract. But it is not
usual or easy to feel passionately about
the affairs of pure thought. This rare.
and difficult grace of mind de Launga
had. Whether he was addressing a large
company at a meeting of the American
Philosophical Association or’ the small

something electric that came ‘into the
atmosphere when he spoke. @)ne might
or might not agree with his assertions
but one felt that whether as an ally or as
an opponent he introduced into. the dis-
-eussion-a-very” welcome-ctement Ue «etic
intensity.

This zestful and pba i concern for
the life of reason which seems to me to
have been uniquely characteristic of de
Laguna stands out in bold relief if we
view it in relation to his ‘general phi-
losophy. For he was both a skeptic and
a pragmatist—or if not a pragmatist in
any orthodox sense, he was at any rate
strongly in’ sympathy with the pragma-
tism of William James.,,\In response to
the invitation extended to him by a com-
mittee of the American Philosophical
Association to write his intellectual auto-
biography and _ his philosophical credo,
he chose for the title of his article “The
Way of Opinion.” ‘Now in that ancient
Greek philosophy with which he was so
familiar the word Opinion was a deroga-
tory word, suited less to describe one’s
own. views: than the views of one’s oppo-
nents. With frank humility de Laguna
chose opinion rather than the eulogistic
knowledge to characterize his beliefs. He
tells us in his essay that the general
tendency of his thought had been in the

skepticism. I> quote:

“The beginnings of the tendency are
probably to be found in a long and pain-
ful endeavour to escape from the tram-
mels of the Lutheran pietism in which I
was brought up. I found it exceedingly
irard to win freedom‘ of thought,’ and
probably should never have succeeded if
I had not, in my middle twenties, been
plucked away from home influences and
set down fora time in the midst of a
people of alien race to think my way to
a_glear self-consciousness. It was for-
tunate for me that I had come under the
instruction of two teachers of great -abil-.

sor Howison and Professor McGilvary).
Either alone would doubtless have made
me a disciple, and I should have passed
from the faith of my boyhood to a new
faith no less constraining, but between
the two I was left to flounder awkwardly
enough, but at liberty.”

Reasoning Lead Him to Skepticism

Now to infer from this passage that
the skepticism of our philosopher rested
merely upon the conflict of faiths which
lie thus early experienced would ‘be a
mistake, for he goes on to tell us of
his investigation of the foundations of
scientific induction and of his ‘ conclu-
sion that each of the axioms and postu-
lates advanced as a logically valid justi-
fication for the inductive leap proved
either insufficient or empty and inappli-
cable. . This skeptical outcome of his
thought together with the reasonings on
vhich it is based is original and_im-
pressive. .And even if we are not con-
vinced of its final truth we must recog-
nize it as .possessing the prestige that
belongs to the matured opinion of a
master of abstract analysis. For while
Professor de Laguna was deeply inter-~
ested in ethics and in social evolution and
-was the author of a book in each of these
divisions’ of the humanities, yet: mu
of his best work was concerned with
logic and mathematics. He was not
only a humanist, but a formalist or dia-
Igctician, and with all his skeptical dis-
trust of the applicability of pure reason,
it was the realm of pure reason that he
knew and loved.

’ This combination of sympathies is an
unusual and an interesting one. Most
men who philosophize become committed,
at least in their maturity, to merely one
or another of the several divergent trends
in-the philosophic tradition. And in their
temperament they are from the begin-
ning rather essentially romanticist or
classicist and unable to feel the appeal
of those problems and points of viéw be-
longing to the opposite camp. De La-
guna incorporated in his outlook some-
thing of both classicist and romanticist
sympathies; and his philosophic interest
was unusually c&thglic. This is indi-
cated: by the range of topics on which

lems of pure mathematics. He took de-
light in numbers and_ their strange and
fascinating behavior. We were discuss-,
ing together one day some of their curi-
ous properties and with an eagerness
quite: as-great’a$ that which he displayed
for concréte issues of ethics. and sociology-
he gave me expert and ‘generous counsel
on a problem which was then - "engaging
my. attention. ¥

It is scarcely the occasion to speak of
the philosophic technicalities of his work
byt I cannot refrain from mentioning two
of them that especially impressed me
on reading “The Way of Opinion”: (1) it
his criticism of Bertrand Russell’s theory
of Types, and (2) his curiously ingenious
demonstration that the concepts of Truth
and Falsity in the sense in which they
are used by philosophers in their dis-
cussions of epistemology are empty and
without real meaning. ‘Though both of
these points are made by a: pragmatist
in the ‘interest of pragmatism they have
all the acumen and precision that any
intellectualist could demand. And_ the
professional dexterity of such rapier-like
thrusts helps us to understand how genu-
ine was de Laguna’s love of good logical
form even when he was preparing to
deal-with problems concrete and humane.

Emphasis on Opinions

There have always been two traditions
in philosophy, the constructive and the
critical. The constructive is the more
pleasant and more exciting to indulge and
its reception. by the laity is unusually
cordial and appreciative. The work. of
the critical philosopher, on the other hand,
at least if. it is carried to the point of
censoring his own constructions and not
merely those of Se ie and rivals,
‘is painful rather than pleasant and- an
exercise in humility rather than in pride.
And to the multitude agape with hope and
the craving for excitement it makes little
appeal. To be a skeptic in philosophy
is. indeed_te—confess-that~one cannot at-
tain to any assured solution of the prob-

a confession requires courage and high
intellectual conscience. There is far too
little of such courage in the world: of
philosophers today. It was this courage
that de Laguna possessed. Most of us
would almost prefer to commit our be-
lief to the fall of.a-coin than to follow
loyally the “duty to doubt” and to retain
an attitude of suspended judgment so long
as the evidence is insufficient to justify
an honest decision. And yet without the
tough-mindedness of conscientious skep-
tics the tender-minded visionaries would
have no means .of estimating the value
of their dreams except by comparing
them with one another. But- though a
skeptical philosophy has irreplaceable
value at a time like the present and in
a country so optimistic as our own it
is a philosophy most difficult. to. sum-
marize. ‘To be appreciated it must be
read at first hand. Bristling with: facts

He expresses his attitude in these: words:
“To. regard the contents of a religious
faith’ as consisting of so many scientific

»or~philosophical theories -is almost’ inevi-

tably to. condemn. them, -but-it»involves,

_ J believe, a-very..serious snisapprehension.

What a belief amounts to depends upon
the experience that has gone to the for-
mation of it. Now the amount of ex-
perience that is represented by religious
dogma is enorfnous. In a way, it may
be said to be co-extensive with human
life itself. It is, in short, experience of
the values of things, and especially of
those things which are felt to make ex-
istence most worth while, not only for
the individual, but for the society of
which he is a member.” The fact is not
to be overlooked that the Jogical rele-
vancy of the experience to the particular |
dogmas that arise out of it is always
questionable ; but the more important fact
is that, in their way, the dogmas do sum
up and represent: the experience.
conception of a heavenly father, for ex-
ample, is not sufficiently disposed of
when it is labeled ‘anthropomorphism.’

-A creed, as such, is a relatively

It is a partly rational, more largely im-
aginative construction, a corceiving how
the world must be constituted and gov-

Such a construction: is always framed in
conceptual terms which “the common con-
sciousness of the time takes for granted

Love of Pure Thought

From de Laguna’s writings then I get
the same impression that I got from his
personality, the impression of one skep-
tically distrustful of the pretentions of
theorizers, deeply and pragmatically ab-
sorbed in the concrete interests of his
place and time, but nevertheless imbued
with passionate Tove for the life and the
problems of pure thought. |

I believe I am right in thinking of this
college as pre-eminent for its cultivation

4 ts own sake—for its de-
votion to the intellectual adventure as an
end in‘itself. In an age of general utili-
tarianism and the worship of efficiency
this ‘is an admirable and precious trait.
It is appropriate that there should have
been long in your midst a teacher who

incorporated so fully in his person and in |.

his philosophy this same rare attitude
toward the life of the mind. Your _phi-
losopher was one whose spirit was thor-
oughly congruent with ‘your spirit. May
his memory endure as one of the high
and characteristic traditions of Bryn
Mawr! y

The large export has caused shortages

thé other hand, imported. Large num-
bers of technical engineers from Ger-

Social Life Organized

“The order in Russia, the interrela-
tion and organization, is. new, not the
instittuions themselves,” said Dr.
Kingsbury, speaking in Goodhart,
Tuesday evening, on the New Social
Order in Russia. “Russia has turned to
to the western world to find what -is
best, and has introduced what shé feels
to be best of these eclectic institu-:
tions.”

One's first impression of Moscow is
that it is little different from other Eu-
ropean cities, but the realization soon
comes that it is very drab. There are
no private shops, no great cars, few
taxis, no private houses, no elaborate
restaurants, no competition in prices.
Limited in the beautiful things of mov-
ing life, it is a worker’s world.
Kingsbury:thinks, may be
explained. by living conditions.... The
apartment is the housing unit, and the
standard, a room for each person, but
jiever more thait-one- —Often-it-is_less,
than this, for the head of a great cor-
poration, his wife, and two sons, live
in two rooms, one largé afid one small.
In the co-operative apartment house
there are four rooms with bathroom
and kitchenette, and occupaiits
by paying a rental, eventually become
owners. ~ Communal living | is not

treme. demands “social living” involv-
ing central dining and living rooms,
nurseries, etc., this scheme is. still in
an embryonic state., Application for
apartments may be made either
through the municipal administrative

department, the district, or the house

committees, and the assignment is
made according to precedence and
merit,

Social Feeding Pushed

As to food, in the apartments with
kitchenettes, the provision is as in,any
of but in the old broken-up
houses, where each family has only an
oik stove, most of the cooking is done
out. A very determined effort is being
made to establish central kitchens and
dining rooms. There are already large
restaurants with this “social feeding”
in view, simple, but well-equipped and
providing -good food. One large food
kit¢hen prepares 17,000 meals a day,
which are served in the great dining
room, or sent to the factories..,.The
latter measure is typical of the efforts
made to care for laborers. The tradi-
tional custom of tea and biscuits at 11,
a light Iluwncheon,-:and the principal meal
of the day at 4, together with the
new working day from 7 to 3:30, al-.
lows the worker to go the factory din-
ing room for his main meal. Under
this plan, “social feeding” works well,
and even where there are no central
food kitchens there is always a dihing
room where food is served at a low
cost. Altogether, definite progress is
being made in this field.

Where preparation is‘ done at home,
the food is secured. at... goverriment
stores, or at municipal co-operative
shops formed by a union organization
or,a_ single. community. Although
there are still some private shops and
the peasant markets, these were
liquidated “by the government’ in/Jan-
uary afid February of last year, in
a m@vement toward. collectivization.
In March, restrictions not. only on the
markets, but also on food cafds, were
raised. These food cards, given by’
the union~to its members, are neceés-
sary_to. purchase food in the shops.
The union member is the unit where
food is concerned, and the worker. re-
ceives a better card than the white
‘collar employee. Food cards are not
-given to those who are disfranchised
(i. e., those who--have..borne arms

tral Trade Union of the Textile In-
dustries has considéred the problem,
and finds that the women will
send their clothes to a laundry: The
that are being
erected where the women can go to do
their own. washing, with the hope of
educating them to sending the clothes
direct. It is illustrative of the way
things move in Russia that this is
being pushed forward most strenu-
ously in the districts about. the textile
factories; the government educates the
people, and the organizations experi-
ment with the idea.
New Health Facilities

Health, education and-—amusement
are interesting phases of the new so-
cial order. Income is divided. into*three
groups: wages, services arfdl ‘securities.
Each industry is supposed to pay out
of-its profits wages, costs and public
developments and welfare. In the gov-
ernment budget, 75 per cent? goes to
industry and agriculture, 9 per cent.
for rent and 16 per cent. for social
culture, and’25 per cent. of the national
budget goes to welfare work and insur-
ance, Securities include “ingenious
health institutions, such as the “con-
sultation home,” and the -night sani-
toriums, where tuberculosis suspects
sleep, and receive medical attention
and food,>while.they are stilt working.
A vacation of two weeks, on regular
pay, given every year, and only a
small rent is,paid at the vacation home.

Security for unemployment is small,

changes which train workers for a
trade and pay them wages. Wages are
low because it is felt that mast of the
necessities of life have been rgaluced

to a minimum of expense; an attempt

‘at levelling wages was put down by

government decree.

The number of people taking part
in the education . facilities offered is
remarkable. There are high schools,
with a workers’ faculty, which take
specially recommended workers and
prepare them for the. universities. In
higher education, the need for the tech-
‘nical, trained individual is so great
that the arts are suffering, but the
clubs,. ostensibly for amusement, sup-
this defect to some extent; club
members meet~in~“‘circles”—of -politics,
sociology, foreign langtfages, trade spe-
cialization, military training, etc.

The position of women is interesting
in that there is a great effort being
made to bring about absolute equality.
Women must enter all types of educa-

‘tion and work, and a certain number

must be promoted each year. It is ab-
solutely essential, under this new or-
der, that all grades and ~ groups of
workers be brought into trade unions,
and those who cannot belong-are-in-a
very distressed condition.

In conclusion, Dr. Kingsbury sum-
med’ up her observations thus: “He
who was first, is naw last, he who was
on top, is now underneath but, in most
cases, bourgeois, intelligentsia and
workers, are all side by side in the de-
velopment of the state.”

A featuré of this election that should
be emphasized is the forecast of the
Presidential candidates for 1932. . The
enormous majority which Governor
Roosevelt secured in his re-election
would indicate-him as a probable nom-
inee for the Democratic ticket: Mr.
Morrow is the outstanding Republican
candidate, provided. the party favors
the wets, and decides to drop President
Hoover. But if both Republicans and
Democrats adopt a. wet platform, a
third party will probably be formed.
It is thought by some that Governor
Pinchot of Pennsylvania must be
chosen as’ the candidate for the new
dry party, but Dr. Smith believes that
this is unlikely because the support of
the drys is concentrated in the West,
South and Northern New England.

out that Governor Roosevelt’s victory
was not due to Republicans voting the

Varsity Team Work Good™=*

in Victory Over Rosemont



Battling in the thick fog that lay
low over the field, Varsity. defeated
Rosemont College, 10-0. Déspite the

wet, slippery ground: and. the—high-
flying ball no casualties resulted. ~

Varsity with a two week rest has
improved its game. On the whole the
team work was excellent, though. once
or ‘twice there was a slight mix-up
when places were interchanged. The
forward line played as a real unit and
passes worked almost like clock work.
There were still quite a few offside
fouls called which can be partially ex-
cused by the slipperiness of the field
which made it impossible to stop.

The: outstanding player for us. was
Moore. Not only did she score half
the goals, but she also brought the ball
down cleverly on other occasions (to
be converted into scores). Her hard,
accurate shots aimed for the open
spaces almost always found the cor-
ners where the goal could not reach
them. Longacre and Remington ac-
counted for the rest of the scoring, get-
ting in some nice passing on, the way.
Although Sanborn and Totten’ didnot
actually tally themselves, they were
responsible for seyeral of the goals.
Sanborn, fighting “back nicely, contin-
ually fed Moore the ball. Totten’s
passing in was extremely good and sev-
eral times she sent: back somnie. nice
shots from the corner of the field.

Baer, playing her first Varsity game,
showed up well.s7 Her hard, accurate
passes were not ‘eften intercepted. The
whole backfield played a very well-
balanced game. They kept Rosemont
on the defensive, not often letting them
get beyond the fifty-yard line and only

‘keeper were much the best players.

technicians, economists, coal operators
and labor leaders and students from
the leading colleges and universities of
the East who attended the undergrad-
uate conference on the bituminous coal
industry, “Mines, Miners and the
Public,” held at the college over the
past week-end, and sponsored by the

Department of Social Sciences.

During the four sessions of the ton-
‘ference, beginning Friday evening and
closing with the final session Saturday
évening, nationally recognized speakers
made an impartial attempt to state the
problems which -beset the bituminous
industry and effect a method of fem-
_edying them. The first three sessions!
were devoted to analyzing these prob-
lems; and in the final session an oper-
ator, economist and labor leader each
offered methods of control for the in-
dustry. ‘

Peter Nehemkis, Chairman

The conference was the first attempt
on the part of any student body to
bring about a discussion of the bitumin-
ous industry and was one of a series
of such undergraduate conferences on

tion of sundry nameless folk songs
from the Wyndhamites of 1933. More

current problems to be held in various
colleges throughout the country. The
intercollegiate Student Council, an or-
ganization "composed of representatives
of over sixty colleges, and founded last |
year through the efforts of the Swarth-]
more. Liberal Club, made possible the
co-operation of the various Eastern col-
leges and universities in holding these
conferences this year.

As a climax to the successful two-
day Coal Conference, Norman Thomas,
prominent Socialist-and_Director_of.the.
League for Industrial Democracy, de-
livered the final address of the Satur-
day evening session. Before a crowded
audience in the Friends’ Meeting
House Mr. Thomas asserted that na-
tionalization of the coal industry is the
solution for the evils existing
under private ownership.

Dr. E.".M. Patterson, President_of
the Academy of Political and Social
Sciences, acted as chairman and intro-
duced George J. Anderson, President
of the Consolidation Coal Company,
who spoke on “Remedies and A Sick
Industry.” Professor:H. S. Raushen-
bush, of Dartmouth College, followed
with “Nationalization: A Concrete
Plan.” The ingenious plan proposed
by this speaker prefaced many of the
remarks made in the closing address

only

by Mr. Thomas.
Mr. Thomas’ Speech
‘Norman Thomas considered the

scheme of government wholesaling of
coal 4s proposed by Mr. Raushenbush
as being important because it is an in-
direct method of avoiding legal ob-,
stacles such as constitutional change.
Much of modern legislation must apply
.to the public utilities in general and
coal presents specific problems that}
none of. the.others do. :

Under private ownership bituminous
coal has been a sick industry. The
cénflict of operator and \consumer un-
der such a system will always be
present. The speaker denied that pri-
vate ownership is just because natural
resources do not belong to any one].
individual. Social ownership should be
substituted for private ownership.

Planned Production

‘Under this proposed plan the Gov-
ernment would acquire only the whole-
sale interests.” The interest of /both
producer and consumer would be. rep-
resented on a directing board. The
Socialist asserted that today the direc-
torate is composed of people »vho know
the least about the industry./.The.tech-
nical experts could’ be .eimployed by
the Government while uhemployment
insurance would be ore to those
workers who might have to find new
occupations. Mr, T homas believed that
this will tide them ¥ er the period” of
transition,

“Collegtive baciideiine should be en-
couraged. The /Government should
offer conditions tinder which it is pre-
ferred.” But those men who refuse to

~conform to-a union system should not
be barred. /

The speaker admitted that the prob-
lem of planied production and distribu-
__tion is a difficult one. Under the na-
tionalization scheme not only national
but world wide yearly production must
