REPORT ON THE
RUSSIANS.^
IV. L
White
INSTALLMENT SEVENTEEN
When the opera closes we are
weary beyond words and long for
bed. We are to leave early in the
morning. But the handsome vice
premier is firm. After we have fin
ished the banquet here at the opera,
we must see the operetta theater
where a special program has been
prepared for us.
This open air theater is packed
to the balcony with a crowd about
nine-tenths Russian and one-tenth
Uzbek. They are sing.ng an aria
from "Maritza," Immensely popular
in the Soviet Union. A Juggler fol
lows, and then the grand finale: cho
rus girls prance out in costumes
made in our honor—red and white
striped trunks, and blue, star-span
gled brassieres. Hopefuljy they sing
a Russian translation of “There’ll
Be a Hot Time in the Old Town To
night."
I talk for a while with the little
Uzbek mayor, next to me at the
table. But the vice-premier is talk
ing. It is his broad-shouldered driv
ing energy which has caught the
factories hurled from European
Russia and planted them in the des
ert, which has put millions to work
damming rivers, building industries
and carving out the new Russia.
He is sure of himself, of the driv
ing power of this Bolshevik system
and of the new world it is opening
up among ancient Oriental tribes.
He is telling us that he is glad
he had this chance to show the new
Russia to Mr. Johnston and to the
American press. I liked him and
his province.
Then the fat little Tass corre
spondent came up. He was pretty
tight, and his German was sketchier
than usual. ‘Wir wissen das Sie
waren in Finland," he said, "aber
das 1st ein kleine Sache nur" (here
he snaps his fingers)—a little, little
thing and is now forgiven of me. Be
cause it was long ago that I was in
Finland, and now they will trust
me to be objective.
I thank him for this compliment
and their trust, assuring him that
my passion for Finns is now buried
under rivers of Soviet champagne,
so at last I can be objective.
For here we leave them. Kirilov
announced they may go by train to
Bokhara and Samarkand tomorrow,
while we fly on this morning to Ash
kabad, the last Russian town on the
Persian borde».
The reporters and all the Tash
kant Russians come down to the air
port to see us off. In the car I ride
with Nona. As we drive down a
boulevard (Tashkent is very well
paved) she tells us that pear by
is the cottage of her mother and fa
ther, a retired engineer. They live
on his pension of 1,000 roubles a
month, which in peacetime is de
cent but now is too little. But for
tunately they own their house. Yes,
you can now own a house in Russia
and, if you like, either rent or sell
it at a profit Of course, its land
belongs to the state. If they ever
need it for a government store or
apartment, they pay you only the
cost of the house. But now you can
borrow from the government with
out interest as much as 10,000 rou
bles, which will build a fair house,
Nona says, and you have ten years
to pay.
A doctor or dentist, who, of
course, works in a state hospital,
may have a private practice after
hours, and charge what he likes—
just as the peasants may sell their
share of the collective’s vegetables
for any price, after the government
has bought what it needs at the fixed
low price. However, the doctor must
conduct his private practice not at
the hospital but in his own home,
and must provide his own instru
ments.
Ashkhabad has, like the others,
an old Oriental section, but the new
Russian town is beautifully laid out
and well paved. In the center is an
irrigated park, an oasis of green in
the yellow desert dust which blows
everywhere. And in the park, un
der this broiling sun, is a veritable
forest of Bolshevik statues, mostly
Stalin. He is always striding along
in his long overcoat with his ear
flaps down, heavily gloved, just as
he is under the Arctic Circle. It
seems cruel. We want to get a
can-opener and rescue him.
Since we left Moscow, we have
noticed that, when his name is men
tioned, less and less do the Russians
leap feverishly to their feet over
turning furniture, although his popu
larity is as great.
The rug factory is most interest
ing. I have watched Navajo women
1 weave, but these Turkoman girls
have greater skill and a more deli
cate craftsmanship. They are
decked out in beautiful native cos
tumes, wearing lovely hand-ham
mered gold and silver jewelry.
In weaving they squat beside the
looms, using both their fingers and
toes to hold the thread and tie knots.
As we pass through they work fe
verishly but I happen to return to
one room and find them relaxed,
gossiping and cackling.
The sad thing is that the Commu
nist NOUVEAU RICHE who, to
demonstrate their loyalty, pay stag
gering prices for this beautifully
woven junk, may convince the
Turkoman craftsmen that Marx's
bushy beard or Stalin’s shaggy eye
brows are things of more breath
taking beauty than their ancient na
tive patterns.
The day closes with a 12-mile trip
through the blistering desert to the
“horse factory.” These desert nom
ads, like the Arabs and the men of
our own Southwest, have always
been proud of their mounts. They
are shrewd traders and breeders of
horseflesh.
In the stifling heat of my hotel
room, the good-natured chamber
maid suggests by gestures that I
would sleep better if we pulled my
cot onto the balcony. The sun rises
early. I look down on a courtyard
of squalid tenements, windows open
and Russians sleeping everywhere,
sometimes under shelter but often
stretched out on the ground. The
yard itself is filled with blonde, blue
eyed, flatnosed Slav babies—two,
three, four and flve-year-olds tod
dling around, some wearing shirts
and some not, beginning their early
morning play before the sun is too
hot.
And I marvel at this teeming, fer
tile, hard-working, long-suffering,
indestructible race, which now
spawns down here in this irrigated
valley as it does under the Arctic
Circle. Properly we think of Rus
sia's empire as a relatively empty
place. There is still elbow room
for this generation—but what of the
next? When the collective farms
are so full of people that they can
no longer feed themselves or the
factories—what then? The problem
is not one for our times, since to
day Russia, like England and Amer
ica, is one of the "have” nations,
with a comfortable share of the
world’s earth and raw materials.
Today these well-fed, blonde Slav
babies play in the desert sun,
reveling like all babies, in the dust
of the courtyard, just under the
mountains which divide the Soviet
Union from Persia.
At the airport we say good-by to
our good friends Nesterov and Kiri
lov, and to Nick, who has so faith
fully watched over us and our con
tacts.
But we were not quite through
with the Soviets. At the Teheran
airport they told us that the Russian
Ambassador was tendering us a
final dinner.
Our final Soviet dinner was in the
Soviet Embassy dacha a few kil
ometers out of Teheran. The boiled
Sears, Roebuck suits had not al
tered but our viewpoint had; after
Moscow they now seemed smartly
dressed.
The dinner was European—soup
to fish to entree to salad to dessert
to coffee, with brandy at the end
for toasts.
The Russian Ambassador got up
and said there were good reasons
why Russia in the past had been
suspicious of foreigners. Even to
day, he said, there were reasons.
There was, for instance, in Switzer
land, the Bank of International Set
tlements. An American was a mem
ber of its board, and also a German.
All during the war this bank had
continued to do business. There
fore, he said, the Soviet Union had
good reason to be careful of for
eigners.
When the Soviet Ambassador sat
down. Joyce was on his feet. For
weeks we had been smothered both
by hospitality and the ever-present
attentions of the NKVD; now was
his golden moment.
Fixing our host with a glittering
eye, he said: "Mr. Ambassador,
sometimes we have our suspicions,
too. When Mr White, here, was
in Moscow, he stayed at the Hotel
Metropole. His room was on the
second floor. On the third floor,"
here Joyce paused, smiled, then
continued gently, "were the Japa
nese." Presently it was time to go
home. We said good-by and went
This ends my report on the Rus
sians and here are my conclusions.
I should add that these, as well as
the general viewpoint of this book,
are entirely my own, and not to be
charged against my good friend
Eric Johnston.
Any close relations with the Soviet
Union are fraughl with considerable
danger to us until American report
ers get the same freedom to travel
about Russia, talk to the people un
molested by spies, and report to
their homeland with that same free
dom from political censorship that
Soviet representatives enjoy here,
and that American reporters en
joy In England and other free coun
tries. This must also apply to Euro
pean or Asiatic territory occupied
by or affiliated with the Soviet Un
ion. Correspondents abroad are the
ears and eyes of our Democracy.
If we are to help build up Russia,
our people are entitled to complete
reports from press representatives
of their own choosing on what
we are helping to build.
We should remember that Russia
is entitled to a Europe which is not
hostile to her. We should also re
member that while American aid in
building back her destroyed indus
tries is highly desirable to Russia,
it is not indispensable. She will not
swap it for what she considers her
security in the new world.
She is, however, in a mood to ac
cept decent compromises. But if,
as our armies are in Europe while
this settlement is being worked out,
we find we can’t get everything we
want, we would be childishly stupid
to get mad, pick up our toys and go
home.
If we decide it is wise to do busi
ness with the Russians, we can trust
them to keep their end of any finan
cial bargain. They are a proud
people, and can be counted on to
pay on the nose before the tenth of
the month.
But any business deals should de
pend on their aims in Europe and
Asia. We should extend no credit
to Russia until it becomes much
clearer than it now is that her ulti
mate intentions are peaceable.
I think these intentions will turn
out to be friendly. However, if we
move our armies out of Europe be
fore the continent is stabilized, and
if disorder, bloodshed and riots then
ensue, the Russians will move into
any such political vacuum. After
all, they are not stupid. Russia for
the present needs no more territory,
but badly needs several decades of
peace. She is, however, still
plagued with suspicions of the capi
talist world, and needs to be dealt
with on a basis of delicately bal
anced firmness and friendliness. To
date, the Roosevelt Administration
has done an excellent job of this,
in an unbelievably difficult situa
tion.

Telephone Wires Not
Used by New System
Power Lines to Carry
Voices in Rural Zones
A new telephonic communications
era has begun for the nation’s farm
families. Tests made in Arkansas
and Alabama by the telephone, pri
vate power companies and the REA
have proven the feasibility of ’’talk
ing” over the same rural power lines
Claude Gregory, president of
Craighead REA co-operative,
Jonesboro, Ark., making one of
first calls over the carrier cur
ent telephone.
which provide farmers with elec
tric energy.
Outwardly, the new and old tele
phonic equipment looks very much
alike. In the new system, how
ever, speech is transmitted over
power wires by means of a carrier
wave of radio frequency produced
by electronic tubes, located either
in a small box adjacent to the tele
phone or attached directly to the
instrument. A device called a
"coupler,” placed on a pole outside
each telephone user’s house, allows
the carrier current to enter and
leave the lines but prevents the pow
er current from interfering with
transmitting and receiving instru
ments.
Equipment, to change the high
frequency current back to normal
voice frequency, is located at a point
on the power line where vocal mes
sages are channeled over wires to
the telephone central office. The
new system, experiments on which
were started by Bell laboratories
and REA in 1938, is expected to
"telephonically link” thousands of
families who now reside along rural
power lines but are too far off the
beaten path to be reached by exist
ing telephone lines. Approximately
three million farms are now elec
trified and scores of others are be
ing added daily.
U. S. Can Produce the
Highest Quality Silk
A movement was started in the
United States about 1830 to produce
silk. Proper varieties of silkworms
were not available and the industry
failed.
It has not been determined that
California has a more suitable cli
mate than Japan for silkworm
culture, being able to raise three
crops a year, contrasted with Ja
pan's one, and at the same time
produce a better quality silk.
In Texas sericulture has become
a community project. At Mineral
Wells, a fund to develop the Texas
silk culture was oversubscribed.
There are other states in the South,
East and West, where silk culture
can be made to produce satisfac
tory returns.

Hundreds of valuable cows and
