CONDITIONS FOR RUSS PEASANTS MUCHIMPROVED Still ,Groan at Their Hard Lot, But Life Now is Far Easier. This is the eighth of a series on pres-ent-day conditions in Russia by Jerome Davis, a member of the faculty of the Yale University Divinity School, who has spent the summer in Russia as special correspondent for The Times and NEA Service. BY JEROME DAVIS MOSCOW, Oct. 26.—1 have seen nearly all the outstanding Communists, including Trotsky, Zinoveiff, Crickerin, Kalinin and Stalin. It would be easy to summarize these interviews, but they would not adequtely portray Russia. Sweep away all the Communists and there still remains one hundred million peasants who .eventually will make or mar the new Russia. It is mere important to understand what the peasants are thinking, than any other group. With this in mind, I went into village after village in Russia, living and eating with the peasant, and trying to understand his psychologic attitude. He still lives in poverty and filth, and flies are everywhere. In selfprotection, I usually slept on the hay in the barn. I found the peasant critical. He did not hesitate to say what he thought about the government, the Soviets, and the Communists. In fact, he often condemned them unsparingly. Moan of Conditions Listen to him. “Prices are very high, we can’t buy what we need. Taxes are terrible. We can’t sell our grain for what it is really worth. The government is bad, corrupt. It is the city workers, not us peasants, who have gained from the revolution. “They get locations with pay. They only work eight hours and make big money. They are the new czars. What have we gained from the revolution? Before we had officials and now we have officials. “Before we had taxes and now we have taxes. Before we starved and now we are starving. It’s all the same.” Bad Because He’s Honest From this, the superficial observer could make out a terrific indictment against the revolution. Their criticisms are in some measures true, but consider them in the face of further questioning. Take the matter of bad government. The peasants insist that under no circumstances do they want a czar or the white guard generals. “What is the difference between your present bad chairman and a good one?” I asked. “Well, you see,” replied a peasant, “we had a good chairman who was clever and reported only part of our grain so taxes were low. The present old fool

is honest and reports -all our grain and we have to pay high.” In other words “Ivan, the head of the Soviet, is bad” because he Is honest! Many New Advantages If one stops to appraise the gains of the revolution for the peasant, one is amazed to find that there is almost no unfavorable factor present which did not exist under the czar except high prices. On the other hand, there are genuine advantages today. In the first place the peasant, despite poverty and filth, is living better than ever before. He no longer pays the landlord, and makes sure of his own needs first. The government steps in at countless points to aid him. There Is state insurance which protects him from fire and hail. He can insure a horse against death for $1.50 a year, and a cow for 40 cents. Today a group of peasants, even if they only have 25 cents apiece, can band together and start a cooperative with money furnished by the government. Status Is Changed The can get credits for tractors. Thousands /of Fordsons are available,, but Russia is now manufacturing her own machines, although they ebst more. Probably the • greatest advantage 'Which the peasant now has is his changed status. While the worker is the backbone of Communism, the
