WORTH READING
Those who. are in sympathy with the Soviet plan for the in-
dustrialising of Russia Will do well 'to ponder the following extracts
from the London Times:
"In view of the great shortage ,of labour 'in all branches of
° State, industry, insurance bureaux are requested to discontinue pay-
ment of u.nem>Ysl'byinent benefit."
• It Must b retnembered that in Russia one can becomee.a ip'lison-
er without anything like what Canadians consider a pr=ocess of lay.
Further, Russian prisoners are let out;•by the police to do work for
Companies,' the companies. to do the feeding. Naturally the com-
panies feed as cheaply as possible. Tlie Tinges tells of the feeding
and of its results;: '
"During the winter of 1929-30 there were no fewer than 72,-
• 000 "5castialties" in the camps.. Many prisoners died from pure ea-
haustion, others fell victims te' diseases; such as typhoid fever and
scurvy; the rest :being shot or othertvliset'aellled by the guards on,
the pretext that they- ha,d tried to escape Or, more frequently, be-
cause. they were ineffecient workers.
Pilling the Gall
The Highdeath-rate among the prisoners makes it imperative
for the authorities, to. have 'hew prisoners in readiness to keep up
the fixed; rate of labour, and, a special department at the Ogpuahead-
quar ters is in !charge of these 'd'uties, l feet prisoners are dispatch-
ed by train from various places in s9 -called echelons et 92 covered'
tr'ueks, each containing about 50 people. The medical attention
obtainable in the Sion camps is very •deficlent. For the 662,000
prisoners only four hospitals were available. The lack of medicines
s appalling. ,
"If . a prisoner has' aceoniplished.the -fixed day's work he re-
ceives a normal ration of one- kilogramme . (2 1-5 .110 of black
bread a. clay. If he fails to carry obit. his job his ration is at •once
redticell to' 300 gram-mes' a day, which, is not again increased until
lie has made good pis deficit.
Y.. "The ,daily food ration includes a plate .of soup, generally made
at rotten fish. ;Meat, eld horse flesh, is given only twice a week."
