CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE Soviet people press vast plans, confident of peace ing more and not less abundant. Aluminum vessels, galvanised metal prams, all kinds of light metal toys, lead-based paints, copper samovars and so on. : As for woollen goods, one has the impression that every other girl in Moscow is wearing one of the new fashionable, hand-knitted tur- ban-hats, while the quality of suits and costumes is definitely on the up-grade, Recognition of the fact that very many of them are going to be -in- volved, if they are not already in- volved, in the completion of their country’s works and plans to ban- ish drought and distribute cheap electric power throughout the coun- tryside, is taking effect. Hardly a day passed without the press recording some new factory or enterprise being drawn _ into these schemes., For this time con- struction is highly mechanized, though of course the supplemen- tary work of digging the local irri- gation system will call for many hands from the collective farms. Machines are being built for Stalingrad and Kuibyshev, for Kakhovka, and Turkmenia, for the Crimea and the Don in far- flung parts of the Soviet Union so that it can truly be said, in the words of the headlines, that “the building of Communism is a national cause.” To take one day in late March at random, the newspaper reader learns that at Gorki a huge new bulldozer has been built in record time for the Main Turkmenian Can- al; that workers at Chelyabinsk, engaged in construction of heavy STEVESTON ~ Fiabe en ee eater ee ot ama oe For Quality and Service Call ISLAND CLEANERS Dyers - Launderers We Pick up and Deliver 365 Moncton St. Phone Steveston 197 RICHMOND BAKERY Specializing in Rye and Fancy} Breads 342 Moncton St. Phone Stevestion 333 $10.00 — Yearly STEVESTON FROSTED FOODS 355 Chatham St. RENTAL LOCKERS [ eee. | Phone Steveston 280 directed there, diesel tractors, have accepted a challenge from the builders of the Volga-Don Ship Canal; that timber is: being run from the Byelorussian forests to Stalingrad and Kuiby- shev, as well as from the upper reaches of the Kama River; that parts for the huge turbines of the Tsimlianskaya power, station are now ready in a Donbas factory. Thus not only does the average man see these great projects lying before him as a shape of the near future, he is also beginning to re- cognize his own part in their ful- filment, He is becoming increasingly aware of the benefits to come, too. If he lives in the extensive Stalin- grad province, that arid wind swept land on Europe's southeast- ern marches, for instance, where scores of thousands of acres of af- forestation has been done Since: 1949, he can look forward to crops of over two and a half tons of wheat or about one and a quarter tons of cotton per acre. At pres- ent he may be farming land on which no rain ever falls and which is so thinly peopled that a man seekifg a straying horse may ride all day over the steppe without seeing any human life. Despite the obvious attractions of living in Moscow, the. city’s youth, so eager to taste experience and to test -their knowledge by action, are being drawn to the new construction sites in large num- bers. Far from being compelled or they compete for the jobs—and there is a much higher proportion of jobs for tech- nologists than ever before—in a spirit akin to that which drew them to the front ten years ago, though this is a struggle against drought, poverty, and the anxieties of life in areas where the margin between safety and catastrophe is dangerously narrow. Gradually the idea of national unity in peacetime has taken root in Soviet society. It draws -its strength not, as many abroad con- tend, from fear of attack or en- circlement. In this respect the Soviet people remain supremely un- ruffled by events which, were the tables to be turned and what is happening in Turkey or Korea were to be happening in Mexico or Newfoundland, would have an effect in Canada-and the U.S. hard even to imagine, National unity, behind Stalin’s leadership, springs from some- thing else, from the growing awareness that Soviet society is advancing ‘fowards Communism, 2 goal which is held to be attain- able without the conquest of any land except that which lies with- in their own frontiers still under . 20; Kitsilano, the thraldom of a cruel nature, without the extension of Soviet power or the forcible conversion of any people to new ways—in short, at home, for the Soviet people themselves and by their own. efforts. Naturally, it is a spirit that, to endure, requires the nourishment of success, and Moscow today pro vides ample evidence that success is real. Its slim clean-lined new buildings mounting to the sky, the dazzling face of the vast new State University that greets those who climb the Lenin Hills, the happy crowds pouring in and out of the new shops, the songs with which factory workers as well as school children set out on these May mornings—these are tokens of suc- cess that cheer the pioneers of Communism on their way, . This May Day, hundreds of thousands of them, the university student shoulder-to-shoulder with the industrial trainee, the scientist beside the factory-worker, the writer with the men and women who make the paper-for his books, streamed through the Red Square to show their esteem for the work- ing-class of all the world. They are smiling as they walk for not one of them bears hatred or envy in his heart. They smile because CONTINUED FIVE-YEAR lations with all other states. On April 16 the State Planning Committee of the USSR announced that the post-war Five Year Plan, adopted in March, 1946, had been overfulfilled-—not in five years, but in four years and three months! In 1946, ravaged by the Hitlerite invaders, with 20,000 towns and villages destroyed, mines flooded, plants ruined, millions dead, the Soviet Union projected an increase in industrial production of 48 per- cent in five years. In four years and three months the increase was 73 percent. it» was planned that steel output (the life-blood of industry) would rise 35 percent. The actual rise was 45 percent. Similarly in elec- tric power, coal, oil and other vital industries, the achieved rate of increase exceeded the plan. Two machines were built in 1950 for every one in 1940. Food out- put is up, and four reductions in food and clothing prices were made between 1947 and 1951. The great shelterbelt planting to rescue mil- lions of acres from dry, hot winds and soil drifting is well under way. Three times more money is being spent than in 1940 for culture and welfare, Thirty seven million Soviet child- ren and youth go to school—eight millions more than in 1945. All this is because the working people run the country instead of a handful of anti-social, profit- hungry corporations. It is because socialism is the social system of the Soviet people—where the means of producing life-giving goods are in the hands of the collective peo- ple, not the former individual and private owners. . For Canadians one thing should be seen very clearly; that these things could not have been achiev- ed if the Soviet Union were pre- paring for war. As Stalin said in his famous Feb- ruary 16 interview, the Soviet state could not lift the living standards of its people if it had not demobil- ized its armies and if it’ did not plan industry for peace instead of for war. Contrasted with the Soviet Un- ion’s achievements, war prepara- tions are ruining the economy of our country. You can’t eat tanks, spread your kiddies’ bread with napalm and raise your family on peison gas and atom bombs! The Soviet people are proud of their achievements. They know what war Means and ‘they endorse Stalin’s great statement: “As for the Soviet Union, it will continuc also’ in the future un- swervingly to pursue its policy of preventing war and __ preserving peace.” We should be friends and traders with this great Socialist land, which has never done the slightest harm to Canada and with whose valiant people we fought together to de- they see a bright future, feat Hitler.
