Of religious worship. Of pqlitical opinion, And of public meeting. None of these freedoms exists in the Soviet Union. Nor is Russia likely to permit such liberties anywhere behind the “Iron Curtain.” In. theory, the Russian Communist accepts the materialistic conception of history, and the rest of the Marx-ist-Lenin doctrine—where it does not run counter to the practicalities of politics So, to him, economic security for the state—not personal freedom for the individual—is the ultimate goal of man.

Security Rests oni Power The Russian bureaucrat's ideal is the all-powerful state. To achieve that—being a politician—he seeks to become all-powerful within his own sphere, and to perpetuate himself in office His .personal security rests not upon public opinion, but upon power —and pull. Stalin has become the Russia: state—to all practical purposes—by liquidating the opposition. To maintain his position, he must continue to do that, He has more to eat than the common laborer, because he is more important to Russia than the ordinary workingman. Stalin is Russia His henchmen live better than the rest of the people—because they bask in the favor of the throne, Ignore Public Opinion

Why? - Because Russia is selling Austria's gasoline in Czechoslovakia to buy commodities needed in the Soviet Union What happens to the Austrian people is not a consideration The Soviet Union apparently re gards Rumania as a permanent ad dition to the empire she is building in Central Europe Yet Rumania is treated no more tenderly than Austria. Vast quantities of Rumanian machinery and supplies have been taken to build up Russia. Rehabilitation of Rumania can begin when Russia's needs are satisfied. Russia ‘thinks in terms of states, not individuals. Fight for Material Gains When an American congressman interviewed Stalin” in Moscow recently, he asked the Soviet dictator how long Russia intended to keep German prisoners of war emploved in Russian industry. Stalin replied. that they would he kept as long as Russia needs them No apparent thought was given to the rights of the individual Russia fights strictly for material gains. And for new footholds and political advantages which will serve as springboards for further material gains, > Her economv—on its own.-.jsn't ahle to sustain its war losses and achieve stability So Russia feeds upon that part nf half-starved Europe which she can control. That is the latest five-year plan To succeed, it must push forward —ever toward new pastures The chaos produced can be taken in stride because prolonged starva- | tion will break down individual resistance to the Russian empire state.

GHOST TOWN ONCE KEPT UP 16 SALOONS

CARDIFF, 111, Aug. 21 (U, P) This “ghost town” once saw its choice lots sell for $1000, and boast - ed 168 saloons, & bank, a hotel and six groceries. Today, the population stands at 15, a few of them remaining from the “boom” days when the big mines worked day and night. That was in 1809. Men and boys worked from dawn to dusk to build houses, and miners were proud to be residents of the city named after the town in Wales. Another mine went into operation, and the population grew to nearly 2000. But the town lived only 13 years The first mine closed and fires killed a’ number of miners. The second mine fan only nine more years, and it was abandoned. Today the sidewalks are ecrumbling, flanked by weeds and a halfdozen empty, dilapidated skeletons of houses, And its tombstone is the ‘shale pile left by the mines., |
