RUSSIANS ATTEMPT EFFECTIVE METHODS

Second Five Year Plan Gives Comfort and Culture To People

“The Russians feel that we live in a work of hopeless chaos,” said Mrs. Walters in her talk on “The Russian Solution,” yesterday noon at Wymilwood. Mrs. Walter spent the summer in Russia. “They think that some of our methods are most efficient but we have a terrible waste, no general economy and balance of riches.”

Mrs. Walters went on to explain that the Russians know they cannot pay their workers on our average, so they use what appears to us a very childish method of enforcing good work. A red book and a black book are published weekly—Good workers have their names and pictures in the former while those who have shirked, or drunk too much are entered in the latter.
