as the masses of Russia itself emerge
from the fog in which they have ex-

of the democratic life of other peoples;
they may win their freedom and break

During the war years when man-
power was scarce and every country
\was desperately' seeking greater pro-
duction,, labor on this continent was
not treated as a commodity, but en-
joyed a status 'hitherto unkuowu under
our economic system. 'Worker's rights

from the city; He was walking ground
in his shirt sleeves when I saw him
and he said, "I wish it would stay. this
way .for three months." -I met Uncle

Workers have one big advantage,

As for the general public, it -would

it is to the leadership that the rank
