Mme. de Lozina gave a graphic pic- tureof life in Russia as it is today. and as it was in thewhap ier days of the Romanoff regime. he meeting was held in the Public Library Hall on Tuesday night and was attended by a large audience. Mrs`. J. . Mac- . .Laren, president of the Club, oc- cupied the chair. In a short business session previous to the lecture, the! `constitution of the Club was amend- ed to permit students `to become] members at the reducgedfee of $1.00.! Mlle. Shopoif` pleased the audience` with a group of two songs, one In- dian and the other Russian. _ ' Mme. de Lozina is a daughter of a, . former-minister of justice in the late Czar s government and as such was familiar with life in high circles.- Her- father was killed by the Bolsheviki in the revolution of 1918. 'Pre-Revolution Conditions Speaking of cqnditionsfbefore the revolution, Mme. de Lozina said that the po ulation of Russia at that time was a out 170,000,000 and is now 150,000,000. The people of Russia 7 were _divided into five social classes. The nobility, who were the ruling K class, numbered 10,000,000. 1 The ' clergy did not mingle'with other eo- ' ` ple and the merchants also hadpt _eir. L own interests quite distinct from the other classes. The middle class com- " prised the artisans, and it was these` P ' who later composed the Bolsheviki. [ The peasants were by far the biggest [ class, numbering 150,000,000. The 1 latter were very simple..people and had an attachment f_or_ the land that ` amounted almost to a religion, so E that it was impossible to develop them to anything higher. The ignor- ' tance of the peasants wasnot entirely ; the faultof the government, because - ..they had opened many schools for peasant children, but the people a would not permit their children `to go.

They were then permitted to own land and many of them`did,;bu`t they `also worked on the big estates of the nobility, some og which comprised as much as 40,00 acres. ' The nobles generallyspent the summer on their V `estates, many 0;, which were like lit- tle kingdoms. Althoug_hth'eir\ lives` were closeto, those -of the peasants, the latter were always distrustful of them land particularly suspicious of any, kindness shown them. It was very seldom that the proprietor of an estate went `into its affairs and only a very few made any attempt at de- /velopment. ` - ' Dalia-inns and Mvntical ivelopment.

Mr. Drury ridiculed h`.lr'..l\ydeighen s proposal to protect agricultural pro- . ducts. He` stated that in 1923 Can- ada exported $252,000,000 worth of wheat and imported only 84,000 5 bushels. If an import` duty were . placed on wheat `it would only serve ` to keep out that 84,000 bushels and the price would still be set as it is now. The same thing would apply to livestock, meats and dairy pro- ` ducts, in- each of which the exports greatly exceed the imports.

Thursday morning's rain threatened`. to spoil things badly. The afternoon did not prove so bad, however, and` the grounds were thronged with peo-. ple, though somewhat short of the. corresponding day in 1924. Friday-. wasan ideal day and the increased attendance more than offset the loss. on the previous day. Receipts on Thursday, in 1924 were $2015.85 as: compared with $18,_12.3'3 this year,_ a difference of $203.52. 0 the.- othr hand, n the` next day's re~ ceipts were $614.50 as against $398.-. 25 in 1924--an increase of $216.25; gate and grandstand $12-.73 better this year than last. Concert receipts were about $30 less which was more than offset by cheaper talent. In sev- eral other places economies were effected this year, so that the net nancial result will be considerably better than the balance above quot- ed. Considering the weather con- ditions on Thursday`, the nancial outcome was exceedingly satisfac- tory. A1I*nlunl-`gnu `Ln :o\:un Uvvtunn 4.
