ioe30i xoe30c the crusaders an anticom munist organization with headquar ters in chicago sponsored an ad dress by irobcrt ripley over the col umbia broadcasting network mr ripley is famous for his be- lioveitoruot cartoons in the news papers having travelled in russia recently he speaks as a first hand observer of conditions there the complete text of his enlightening message is as follows a year ago i found myself on the border of russia and persia the persians had left me and my bag gage exactly in the middle of the international bridge at julfa where it crosses over the araxes river the bouudry line between russia and persia i was completely abandoned and totally isolated the red sold iers at the russian end of the bridge wouldnt let me cross and the per sian soldiers at the other end wouldnt let me return so there 1 sat in no mans land for about five hours finally some soviet officials arous ed themselves long enough to put me through a microscopic examina tion they turned my baggage in side out searching for arms and money and pried into every piece of paper i had in search of anti- communistic propaganda then after seizing my three cameras i was permitted to set foot in russia the communist paradise believe it or not it is not para dise but a paradox russia is a gigantic poorhouse where millions of people are on the verge of starva tion at this moment outside of moscow and leningrad the soviet show places starvation stalks thru squalor and filth moscow and len ingrad are show places and fake sliows at that where the traveler is led about under a smoke screen of propaganda and allowed to see only what they want him to see and nothing else you are shown the kemlin lenins tomb a model farm a model school a model workers club and various other models but ithere are no model conditions in the outlying rural distriots of the ukraine and the caucasus i had no food for ithe first two days after crossing the border from persia ragged starving mobs crowded to the itrain windows begging and cry ing for bread in a single year 1932 four mil lion peasants died of starvation in the ukraine and north caucasus the most fertile part of all russia the ukraine was called the gran ary of the world in the time of the czars and produced enough grain to feed the whole country and exported hundreds of millions of bushels each year besides starvation in russia is not due to crop failures it is a manmade famine the soviet government de liberately caused this ghastly chaos by robbing the farmers of their grain in order to sell it in foreign countries and acquire foreign curj rency the soviet government holds money to he more valuable than the lives of its people in the mean time the people struggled to sub sist on dogs cats weeds and grass even extracting the gold fillings from tlioir teeth in order to buy a loaf of bread in a torgain shop i traveled from one end of the coun try to the vtlier and never saw a dog or cat nor did i hear a person laugh or see a single smiling face in 1917 the communists seized the wealth of russia they liqui dated capitalism and destroyed the educated classes they murdered the rich stole their wealth seized all the gold silver and precious stones and con fiscated all private property of every description they took five hundred million dollars in gold from the na tional treasury the largest stock of gold in the world at that time they grabbed another fifty millions dn gold from roumania they con fiscated eight hnidred millions in american property they destroyed all religion and looted the churches taking all the gold tapestries priceless paintings and precious stones valued at twen ty billions of dollars all in all a grand total of forty billions of dol lars was confiscated from the peo ple in addition they utterly repudi ated about eleven billions of dollars in loans from franco england bel gium and the united states believe it or not there is not a single work ing man in ho soviet union today who owns an automobile or his own home never under the old czarist re gime were they as miserable and oppressed as they are now a thou sand times more people are being exiled to the frozen wastes of sib eria today than at any time of the rulo of the czars in 1932 for ex ample the red army moved intc the ukraine and loaded so 000 fam ilies into freight cars and sent them to faroff yakutsk in eastern sib eria whero they were literally dumped out on tho ice in a country whero the thermometer seldom rises above zero out of the s0000 fam- a total of about 300000 peo ple it is estimated that not more than 3000 remain alive you probably have heard little of these appalling conditions because of the strict censorship of news per sonal mail is censored particularly all foreign letters aud russians who are living in fear and dread of the gay pay oo gpu that huge secret service of russia dare not n any way express their opinions writing the newspapers which are owned and operated solely by the govern ment keep the people in utter dark ness with regard to foroigu affairs news about america is reduced to nothing but labor strikes race riots lynchings and unemployment photo graphs all foreign catalogs maga zines and books are strictly forbid den communistsfear that pictures of good things to eat good clothes to wearand other comforts of life will create dissatisfactin in their ranks they even guard russia from the air by means of a powerful radio station in moscow they drown out any foreign broadcasts they dont like they generally use a melody that makes the greatest noise on the air waves when i was there they were using an old religious song written by cardinal newman of england it is appropriately called the chorus of the demons the communists delight in appeal ing to the unemployed of america by telling them there are no unem ployed in russia believe it or not neither are there any unemployed in a peniten tiary everybody in russia is a pri soner of the government the workingman has no choice about his work or where lie lives or how miich he is paid he has no reli gion no home life and no privacy he has utterly no freedom of speech you might remember this next time you hear one of our many soap box orators spouting forth and bear in mind that if he attempted to open his mouth in communist russia he would wake up to find ihimself either dead or on his way to siberia his freedom of movement is denied him he cant go from one village to another he cant quit his job he cant even take a day off with out warning he is liable to be ar rested torn from his family herded into a freight car and sent thou sands of miles away where he is forced under inhuman conditions in some concentration camp of north ern russia even death does not set him free in case of death the clothing and shoes are removed from the body even the teeth are extracted and any gold or silver fillings are melt ed down and confiscated by ithe gov ernment the average salary of an ordin ary working man in russia is about 150 paper rubles a month from this the following deductions are compulsory twentytwo rubles go to the gov ernment fifteen rubles are taken for as sessment and taxes two rubles for union dues twentyfive rubles for rent which leaves the average working man eightysix rubles for himself to purchase food and clothing let me quote the prices of some of the daily necessities as reported in the red evening gazette of moscow a government owned news paper of recent date bread is a ruble and a half a loaf milk two and onehalf rubles a quart butter twenty rubles a pound eggs ten rubles a dozen rice five rubles a pound womens common cotton stockings cost fifteen rubles a shirt costs thirty rubles and the cheapest suit costs one hundred and seveuty- flve rubles which is more than twice his net salary a month these conditions are imposed upon every soviet worker by the govern ment and there is no escape a worker may be dissatisfied and try to leave the country but if he is caught he is shot if he succeeds in crossing the border his innocent relatives are made to suiter all his family are exiled to siberia and believe it or not these are the conditions that communists hope to impose on the entire world if you dont think so lot me quote you from stalins speech as publish ed by the commintern press in len ingrad he said i think com rades that the communist party of america is ono of the few commun ist parties in the world upon which history has placed tasks of decisive importance from the point of view ot the international revolution i think that the moment is not far off when a revolutionary crisis will be unleashed in america and when that revolutionary crisis comes in the united states it will mark the end of world capitalism the com munist party of the united states must he armed to be able to meet this hisorical moment and to head the forthcoming class war that ladies and gentlemen is the aim of the communists communism capitalizes on discon tent and takes advantage of igor- ance and poverty in times of wide spread trouble and economic dis order fr following the terrible debacleot the great war a mere 70000 com munists were able to overthrow the established law and order of 170 million people this small group ot people the least cometent the least successful and the least humane reduced russia to slavery serfdom and starvation no worse unishment could be in flicted ou tho many communist crackpots shouting throughout this country of ours than o exile them to russia the communist para dise and make them live under the system they preach yes ive mingled with the people of 17s different countries of the world in my travels aud 1 know that despite the depression which is worldwide the united states still has more prosperity more freedom more tolerance and more happiness than any other nation in the world wake up america one week from today is thanks giving grain seeds coal grain and seed markets
