Declaring that the initial` drill= ing of Russian peasants and people into collective farming was "one of ,the most extraordinary _ and 'brutal • things ;in • history)" Hindus added, however, that col- lectivization of the land can now defy the World. Millioes of Russian young people had to learn mechanics, he said, . or they. wouldn't 'have, been able. to • work the ' 800;000,000 ,acres of land between 1928 and 1939. .Previo'usly, Russian labor had had no mechanical experience. Without - it, • Russia today would not have had ' the skilled nian•• power necessary to buildand op- erate guns, tanks and planes. Millions of young women, Hin- • .due said, had to learn to under- stand . and operate complicated farm, machinery. Today, millions of women are running the c,oll.ec tive farms, releasing men for military service. The collective -farms have for ' years been school of defence, giving men, women and children training in guerilla warfare and marksmanship., "Eventen-year-old children were taught to hunt parachute troops," said Hindus. "All the people ' were taught to become sharpshooters. The Nazi para- - chut 'troop conquest of • Crete could not he repeated. in Russia."

But when the commandos struck at Nazi •garrisons in Norway, lo, it was a bagpipe that spurred then;,on! True,it was an ,Englsihman who' 'carried ie -Major Jack Churchill (a good name; Corporal. John bore it before they •made,him Duke of Marl- borough), who had, learned the art of piping in France early in the war But the effect upon the young commandos 'was .the same as if a Win -major of• purest Highland an- cestry had otliciated. "As• the bar- gestouched shore," one of the men tk.who,took part'in the raid explained, "most: of us were alightly scared, but fright disappeared when Major Churchill leaped ashore with. his', bagpipes and began to play. You know what the pipes be to a Scot. The change Was remarkable.' Every one of us was fuil.of confid'ence." There is a lesson here, although unfortunately Major Cburchill was ' badly wounded in driving it home.
