O A PRIZETIVE WORKER FOR EVERY AC THERE WILL BE NO LOSER'S O a. p O CANADIAN CLUB HEARS LECTURE ON "RUSSIAN SITUATION" ON THURSDAY The Canadian Club met in the tion of the barest necessities requir- ed for her own people, R.ussie is ex- porting everything she produces in the shape of manufactured articles and natural wealth, Indeed, he as- serted, the government is even ex- porting wheat and dairy produce which are really needed to feed the half-starved millions at home. For instance, in Kiev, eggs are four dol- lars a dozen, and butter is five dol- lars a pound. The government ex- ports these products to Vienna, and there they may be bought, the eggs for thirty cents a dozen and the but- ter for thirty-five cents a pound. A- gain the speaker stated that if the Soviet Government were to feed ade- quately the people of Russia, they would need, not only all the wheat they are now exporting, but also they would need to import twenty-five per cent more. In connection with the food question, Professor Henzel des- cribed es-cribed their system of rationing the supplies. Tickets are given out, and Russian housewives must spend four or five hours a day waiting in the shopping line. Here they receive the allotted shares, and guests in the household make no difference, for provisions must be stretched. out. About one-tenth of the people of Russia belong to the Communist par- ty, and are allowed a maximum wage of ninety dollars a month. Each of the members pay about one million roubles more per year on the promo- tion of industry than it is receiving from the products of the various in- dustries. Factories are usually in charge of a committee of unskilled (Continued on page four) Council Chamber on Thursday even- ing, April the ninth, The _members of the Club were privileged to invite their friends on this occasion and the meeting was well attended. A lecture on "The Russian Situation" was giv- en by Professor Henzel of Western University. Having spent part of the last summer in Kiev studying econ- omic conditions there, Professor Henzel was able to speak with auth- ority on this subject, and his hear- ers are favoured in having had this opportunity of learning actual facts about the situation from one who has visited the country, Some four or five years ago, the Communist leaders, faced with the task of bringing order out of chaos which was Russia, evolved a program that has since become known as the Five Year Plan. This provides for the industrial, social and political re- construction of the country -all to be accomplished in five year, 1928— 1933. As Russia has heretofore been chiefly an agricultural country, the Five Year Plan lays a great stress upon industrial development, and in the very carefully prepared report he read, Professor Henzel dealt almost exclusively with this phase of his subject. The Soviet government, refused credit by other countries, had to find some way of paying for the vast am- ounts of machinery needed to equip factories, to privide means of trans- portation, and to work efficiently the large farms under the new collective farming system. So, with the exoep- Broadcasts Teeswater Cantata The cantata "From Manger to Cross" presented', by the Teeswater United .
