TI MUST SAY, though, that a curious set of ethics abounded in my first temporary wartime home. The blonde ladies named Flo and Pear! and Myrtle did not mingle socially with the married Navy boys, beyond a casual: “How did it go on the firing ship today, lieutenant?” They ‘were wonderful about baby-sitting in the afternoons to let the married Navy wives dash Into town to buy a fresh supply of pablum and, a rare pair of new stockings.

YOU COULD buy booze at the open bar, i you wished, but Navy pay and the presence of th gambling devices demanded that we economize on cooking whisky. So this was firocured at wholesale from the warehouse back of our living quarters a vast barn which held the basic supply for the whole roaring coast. The wholesale prices constituted a gesture of patriotism on the part of the boss bhootlegger. There was a war on, and he didn't want to see the sailors suffer.

SOME of the mamas would take junior o sister in the pram, and trundle the offspring back toward the woods which housed the booze. They would go to the side door and rap gently, whereupon a gentleman would deliver a bottle of nerve tonic. Mamas would put the joy juice in the carriage with baby, and shove the pram leisurely back to the cottages. This served several purposes. It got mama out of the house, baby into the fresh air, and insured a little relaxation for the tired papas who had been slaving over a hot 5-inch’.38 cannon all day. It also kept papa out of the gambling establishments at night-fall. We all survived this Narrowing upbringing with the exception of a highly ranked gentleman

Cracks in the Kremlin Wall—
‘Terror Fails To Fill Red
By EDWARD CRANKSHAW CHAPTER FIVE
DURING the past three years, the oppressive ap# paratus of the Kremlin has
been employed, above all, against the peasants, who still account for half the total popuiation of the Soviet Union. Industry cannot do well unless the workers are fed. The feeding must now be. on a better scale than hitherto, because industry has called into being a new type of, Russian, doing a. new type of work. This Russian can no longer be sustained at his full efficiency by and kasha ration on which the peasant or the infantryman can
plod his way from the cradle to the grave. However, the peasants have
failed to produce the necessary food: so Stalin has been compelled to launch a new revolution in the countryside. It is no less radical than the collectivization of 20 years ago. It i= a revolution designed to bring Soviet agriculture more immediately and completely under central control. " ” ” IN INDUSTRY, coercion is a relatively simple matter. It is carried out by =o-called trade unions—simply government departments whose task .it is tn get the most out of the workers for the least reward. Factory workers are easy to oversee and to control: The slack, rebellious, or inefficient worker is immediately picked out and jumped on. Lateness and absenteeism are punished by forced labor. The definition of absenteeism is laid down in a decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of June, 1940: “A Soviet workman is guilty of absenteeism if he loses more than twenty minutes’ working time by arriv-
the primitive bread,
NOTE: Mr. Crankshaw is a distinguished British historian and editor who has studied Soviet Russia for many years. During the war, he was attached to the Brit-
ish Military Mission in Moscow. This is the fifth of a serjes of twelve articles from

ing late, leaving early, or extending his dinner break, or if he commits any of these offenses three times in one ~ month or four times in two consecutive months, even if the loss of time in each case is less than twenty minutes.” The peasants also are subject to. this discipline. But all the terror of the MVD cannot make two blades 6f grass grow where one grew hefore, “Originally, the “machine tractor stations” were supposed to insure that the required quantities of grain were delivered tH the state. But sooner or later human nature triumphed. First the collective managers, then the technicians at the tractor stations, came to identify themselves with the villagers against the state. The system of allowing each household an acre and a cow as its own private property, intended -originally to keep the peasants in good heart, soon hegan to threaten the whole fabric of ‘the collective system. >

the towns, apart from a starvation ration, was what the peasants brought in from their private plots and sold on the free market at exorbitant prices. After the war it was found that thousands of collectives
all over Russia had been largely broken up by the peasants, with: the active
connivance of the managers, to increase their own small holdings. Although the government launched a full-scale campalgn to put a stop to these abuses, it found itself powerless to increase the flow of grain into the state granaries.
SO THERE FOLLOWED a
series of measures
First the devaluation of the ruhle which Was largely aimed at reducing by 90 per cent the hoards of cash ac

Finally the scheme launched by Khruschev in 1950 for the amalgamation of the collectives and for the building of special “agricultural towns.”

It is this last measure which spells a new revolution since it means the total breaking down of the old village economy, the end of the private. . holding system. it transforms the villagers into paid employees, or state serfs.
What this means in practice
is a new and deadly phase in the war between the Kremlin and the peasants: If the peasants fail to produce more under the new regimentation and the output of undernourished factory workers begins to fall, then the regime will collapse. TOMORROW: Decline of the Communist Party.
