MARCHING BABIES MOST TOUCHING THING IN RUSSIA Children Supposed to Grow Into Young Communists r- Called Pioneers. This is the first of a second series on Soviet Russia as it is today, written by William l'hilip Sims, European editor for the Indianapolis Times and other Scripps-Howard newspapers. By William Philip Sinnns MOSCOW, (By Mail)—ln many ways the most striking thing I have seen since jny arrival in Russia is the spectacle of her marching babies. No public demonstration is complete without them. At State funerals or any place where the Soviet Government is desirous of making a show, these political babies are on parade. Thousands of them marched—in the Djerzhinsky cortege. Down the street you would hear the tap tap, tap-tap-tap of a kettle drum, beating time for some delegation or other bound for the Red Square where the funeral orations were to take place. Some Only Five Then would appear, not a line of soldiers, but a column of kiddies ranging downward all the way from 13 or 14 years old to about five—.lust big enough to toddle along with the procession. At the head would be a boy or a girl, sometimes both, with a drum and maybe a sfliny silver bugle. The ones in front, the line would taper down unt.l tiny legs had to stretch far and "<tep fast to keep up. Many of the boys wore oply red or blue trunks. Bodies from the middle up and down including feet, •were bare. The girls wore one-piece dresses made of cotton and most of {hem were barefooted. Some were bareheaded. Others wore the tradi-

tional strip of turkey-rad cloth tied about their heads. These were the "Pioneers”—communist boy and girl scouts—Octobrists fresh from the cradle —children of the October, or Bolshevist, revolution and hope of the present Soviet Republic. I have already pointed out that communism's greatest danger arises from the fact that Russians are oiU.v human brings just like the rest of us—that they have a human hankering after money and the things that money will buy. I have also ex- i pressed the opinion that unless com- | munism can find a way to gratify these human cravings there'll be j trouble. But communist Russia doesn’t see it that way. The Rushan Belief “You, In America, have no trouble finding men willing to serve the nat • n at very smad/ ft. lari •, as diplomats. army and navy officers and so on,” a communist said to me. "Why then should not Russia extend the same principle a little further and have everybody consider it an honor to work at any task for our government?” The communist belief is that by catching them young, children can be taught not to care for money and what money will buy, but to consider only the honor of serving the country—to fight for it, work for it in no matter what humble capacity, regardless of pay or rank or any other consideration. The communists are frankly out to change human nature. From “Pioneers” these babies are supposed to grow into "Young Communists —"the next older organization ranging up to 20 years old or thereabouts—after which they are to be consecrated full-fledged communists. Will It Take? That is, if The trailing takes. Rut it's like expecting every boy and girl who attends the juvenile class at Sundt y school to grow up into a preacher or a missionary. it is always easy to find men anc women for posts of great honor with out large induooments in the way of •.'■hi“y. But to find millions to do the drudgery, to lie privates, to become mere, obscure cogs in a great machine for a bare pittance and a stall to go to after the day's work is done, is something else again. To an observation of this kind the ready answer was: “It depends on the training.” Can Russia completely make over the babies now being born? It will lie interesting to watch her try. anyway.
