INSTALLMENT FOUR
The story caused an Indignant ex-
plosion of denials in the Western
World, some of which the govern-
ghent complacently printed in Prav-
4a when pressure was brought to
tear.
But the desired effect on Russian
public opinion had already been
achieved Inter-Allied good will was
dampened down, to the point where
pHbUc- opinion could easily be
switched, should this need arise.
They did not then see such a need,
nor, as I write this, do they see it
now. But by such strategems they
kaap freedom of action to move el-
iter way with the complete backing
at their people.
Bussian newspapers and news-
reels carry only small amounts of
news about the outside world, and
-never anything which might arouse
internal discontent with the Party’s
pula or the Soviet Union's standard
Ot living. Now and then, of course,
there is a slight miscalculation. For
Instance, Soviet newsreels, which
Specialize in strikes or disorders in
#» Western countries, ran many

Baeslsns welcomed news of 8ta-
Us’s meeting with Roosevelt.
fecluding a vivid closeup of a cop
, tea ting a young Negro. The effect
se the Soviet audience was elec-
tee. Some Russians even stood up.
"Look”—they cried—‘‘at that won-
4srfnl pair of'shoes the Negro is
wearing!"
Almost never do the authorities
gUlmlt any book or movie which
sreuld give a straightforward pic-
gure of American life and the aver-
,A#s American living standard. It
Ja true that Soviet intellectuals have
'taad and appreciate the artistry of
~Ite Grapes of Wrath." But, re-
l]sated for mass circulation as a
jnovie. it is bound to bewilder the
.average citizen of the Soviet Union.
■The Joad family would not b^pitied
tot their clothing, which except for
Jta American cut. would be indis-
tinguishable in a Moscow crowd.
But here is a family which, not
J>«ing content with its circum-
atances, leaves without obtaining
• ^permission and wanders a thousand
jniles or so without a travel permit
fin search of a better job. Where is
the NKVD? Why aren’t they
,gtopped? Each of these offenses is
worth a five-year sentence. True,
the grandmother dies on the way
and obviously malnutrition contrib-
uted, but this is no rarity in the So-
viet Union, nor is her funeral less
ceremonious nor her grave more
gtark than those in most Soviet
cemeteries.
Above all. where did -they get the
car? Since it is shabby, of course,
It didn't come from the Kremlin mo-
tor pool, but the fact that it will run
at all proves it must have belonged
to an important factory foreman for
use on official business only.
These curious, insubordinate mal-
contents would arouse little sympa-
thy in the Soviet Union, and the only
possible happy ending would be to
have one of the younger boys join
the Komsomols out in California,
loyally squeal on the whole disrup-
tive tribe, whereupon the NKVD
would give chase and after excit-
ing sequences, overtake and liqui-
date them at the base of the statue
at Stalin.
Few American films are shown in
Moscow and those are picked with
the greatest care. The American
films best known are Chaplin's
'•Gold Rush” and "The Dictator,”
a 8onja Henie skating picture and
Deanna Durbin's “One Hundred
Men and a Girl,A after the Russian
subtitles were written in to bring
out a heavy class-exploitation angle.
When I was in Moscow, the most
popular foreign pictures were "Jun-
gle” and “Thief of Bagdad." Both
were heavily attended. With the
usual Hollywood skill, the scene of
one is a Hindu village and the other
is medieval Bagdad, neither por-
trayed normal life in the Western
■" world and so were safe.
I did see, however, one excellent
Bussian picture, and did not need
tfae language to understand and be
moved by It. The story concerned
• green cadet, very much on his
pood behavior, who arrives with his
kit bag to join a veteran fighter
nquadron. He is at first genially
lkaxed by the rest gradually gets
-erience, shows his mettle and is i
iy acceptea. It depici^i some
• ghly corned-up and improbable
shots of air fights, but these flights
of fancy were no more distorted than
the ones dreamed up in Hollywood
swivel chairs.
All nations tend to play up their
own battle exploits and to neglect
their Allies, and America is, in
this respect a frequent offender.
But certainly Red Army advances
are decently covered in stories,
maps, and pictures-both In Amer-
ican newspapers and newsreel*
The Soviet Union, by contrast, al-
most never shows pictures of for-
efgn battle fronts in its popular thea-
ters.
Anglo-American landings in Nor-
mandy were shown to the intelli-
gentsia and to high Red Army of-
ficers, who might have a technical
interest in how we handle landing
operations, but they were not re-
leased to the general public.
As a result, the average Russian
firmly and logically believes that his
government has until recently borne,
not most of the war burden, but all
of it
From time to time Stalin makes
statements which are both realistic
and generous to his Allies. Rather
recently he predicted that Soviet
soil would soon be cleared of the in-
vader and the armies could then
proceed to follow the Fascist beast
and crush him in his lair, adding
that this would not be possible with-
out the combined efforts of all the
Allies.
This was, of course, printed in
Pravda but the average reader, sat-
urated with news of the Red Army,
overburdened with personal prob-
lems, and Ignorant of the extent of
the Anglo-American sea, air, and
land effort, probably dismissed it as
the kind of perfunctory gesture
which all statesmen occasionally
make.
Today another thundering big dih-
ner at Spiridonovka to which Eric,
Joyce, and I are asked. This .time
only as humble spectators, for it is
given by Molotov and the guests of
honor are the British and American
ambassadors to celebrate the anni-
versary of our aid agreement with
England.
Any artist could draw Molotov
with a ruler—a square body on short
legs, square head, jaw, nose, and
eyes, and there he stands. This
square face is as devoid of expres-
sion as an Indian chiefs.
Litvinov is also present—a keen
face, thinning, sandy hair—intelli-
gent. alert—a benign volcano. The
reporters say he is the only accessi-
ble Kremlin resident. He will give
any of the more serious one hour or
so, explaining Soviet policy and
problems—provided, of course, they
don’t bother him too often.
The dinner is like Mikoyan'e, even
to the climatic suckling pigi—or
rather his cousin, similarly shaved
and boiled. I am next to another
Foreign Office boy (Russians appar-
ently keep their wives and daugh-
ters away from ravening capitalist
wolves).
They are “tremendously formal
people—not because they are Com-
munists but because they are Rus-
sians. When they throw an official
shebang, everything must be just
so, from oyster forks to medals, No
wonder they were offendted when
Winston Churchill, visiting Moscow
during the raids, turned up at Stal-
in's dinner in his siren suit. A czar-
ist grand duke might be understood,
but not these earnest Socialists. As
Russians they must be spectacularly
lavish; as Cojnmunists they must
worry about the forks.
In the middle of the good will
toasts, Molotov breaks a big piece
of news; tells us that today they are
launching an offensive to co-ordinate
with our Anglo-American landing
in Normandy.
In the major drive which present-
ly followed toward Warsaw and East
Prussia, no one can say they did
not keep faith—scraping their man-
power barrel, throwing war-cripples,
semi-invalids, and boys into the line.
Their sacrifices from the standpoint
of manpower have been ghastly.
Back of the front you see no young
men who aren't either in uniform
or limping with a wound, «?xcept the
few who are in high administrative
jobs. And you see absolutely no
men between sixteen and forty at
the factory benches.....
Following the Molotov dinner, we
told the correspondents of the an-
nounced attack, since it had already
been launched and, of course, they
filed the story. It was then stopped
in censorship. The censors pointed
out it had not yet appeared in Prav-
da. It is a rule of Russian censor-
ship that nothing is officially true
which has not been printed in a Rus-
sian paper. Pravda got around to
printing the news of the offensive
three days later.
‘Tomorrow,” said Kirilov, "we go
for ride in private steamboat down
to Volga River and return.” He
stops. “There will”—and here his
large sleepy eyes seenjJto be doing
their best to gleam—"b^girls.”
Even our Russian hosts realize
that after our busy schedule, we
need a rest. Our idea of a program
for this would be a milk toast diet
Theirs, at course, wins and differs
slightly. It is s trip by boat down
the famous canal connect...* Mos-
cow with the Volga River. Some
correspondents are also invited.
We are driven to the landing
place—a huge and almost complete-
ly deserted station about the size of
the Kansas City or the Cleveland
Union Terminals. Its architecture la
pretentious. It Is over-ornamented
and built with shoddy materials.
It towers dramatically above the
canal, which is reached by a pre-
posterously wide flight of steps—I
would guess fifty of them—which are
dominated by a titanic statue of
Stalin. At the bottom is our boat,
a streamlined version of a Missis-
sippi River steamer.
To entertain us they have brought
three of the plump operetta artistes.
They were better by candlelight.
Now we see a few dduble chins we
had overlooked. They arrive in
very formal dresses, but soon
change. It's like date night at tba
Old Ladies’ Home. Yet everybody
is trying pathetically hard to show
us a gpod time.
The paddles are churning —
through the new. white silk curtains
I see the bank moving so I go on
deck. On one of the long padded
wicker divans, Johnston is already
stretched out, shirtless for a sun
bath. Two sailors, under Kirilov’s
supervision, come trundling out a
radio-phonograph trailing a cable.
This is set up in the middle of the
deck.
"Now,” says Kirilov, “we will
have American music.” Whereupon
its loud speaker is aimed at Erio
and It begins to play, “Oh, Johnny,
Oh, Johnny! How you can love!”’
An excited male voice begins to sing
the words breathlessly, as though he
had first been chased around the
block.
The. banks sliding by might be il-
lustrations'of a fairytale. There'
are tall birch forests and if it were
night, I am sure a distant light
would appear and walking toward it
we would find the.old witch and her
house of stick candy.
Now and then we pass a clearing
and a village of logs, with those
beautifully carved doors and win-
dow frames characteristic of Old
Russia. Occasionally naked girl
*Vi miners duck down as we go by.
This canal probably isn’t quite as
wide as the Panama bat two of these
great steamers can pass. About ev-
ery fifteen or twenty miles there is
a loading station almost as big as
the one where we came aboard—
but no towns are in sight At each
station a mammoth metal statue of*
either Lenin or Stalin commands the
canal. They hold the same poses
here and throughout the Soviet
Union. Stalin, in his heavy overcoat
and cap, strides along, swinging his
arms; Lenin always gesticulates
with arms outstretched.
How was the canal built, i ask.
By 3,000,000 political prisoners,
working with picks and shovels, and
it jook them only a little over two.
years.
We float for a while through soft
birch forest and sure enough, anoth-
er statue looms ahead. For us they
disfigure the Russian landscape but
I suppose we are no more annoyed
than Russians would be at the bill-
boards which line our highways.
However, the'artists who paint our
cigarette ads are more skillful than
the monumental masons 'who de-
signed these cigar-store Indians.
One of the British correspondents
who lives up on the fifth floor of the
Metropole invites me and half a doz-
en other correspondents up for a
party, and I take as a contribution
my Bolshevik factory cake.
The party starts about 10 o’clock
with sandwiches and black coffee,
brewed over an electric stove—and
my cake. The host has persuaded
the Metropole maid, an old lady
of seventy named Nina, who has
looked after him for several years,
to serve and wash dishes afterwards
in his bathroom. At about ten-thirty
a couple of Russian girls arrive. One
is touching thirty, with the usual
sallow, pimply Moscow skin and
shabby..clothing. The other is about
twenty-four and the prettiest Rus-
sian girl I have seen. But the amaz-
ing thing is how in Moscow she has
found enough vitamins to clear her
skin.
Our host calls for Nina to bring
cake plates and coffee cups for the
girls. Nina eyes them with Intense
disapproval, shoves the plates into
their hands and goes out banging
the door.
Our host laughs.
"She's adopted me. When, now
and then, a Russian girl does spend
the night. Nina puts the picture of
my wife and kids where it’s the
first thing I'll see when I wake up.”
Now for a note on sex in Russia
In the outside world Russians have
an awe-inspiring reputation for pro-
miscuity. It is unfounded. It grew
up in the days when the Bolshevik
Party denounced fidelity as a bour-
geois fetish and proclaimed the new
freedom in these matters, along with
legalized abortion and post-card di-
vorce. But even in those days the
reputation was unfounded, for al-
though divorce could be had for the
asking (and some Individuals got
dozens), the rata for Russia as a
whole was less than the American
divorce rate.* The average Russian
