'Has Materialistic Idealism
Russian Dictatorship Evident in Strom Control, Shively Says
The Russians are attempting to realize the ends of material idealism of the United States in the captive of central authority and a strong central government, which amounts to practically a dictatorship, by stepping aside from the department of journalism, in his speech on "Russian Communism" before the clash of socialist study which has threatened Russia.
Mr. Shively went on to say that Russia's idealism of justice for the worker can be found in its social benefits, such as regulation of hours of work and the requirement for recreation facilities. "People" he said are "sacrificing heavily to very limited supplies of food, clothing and other necessities of life, in order to carry out their duties." The weakest link in the chain seems to be in the agricultural program."
"The dictatorship," he said, "which is supported by Russian tradition and fear of interference from the outside, is misused in the control of the political, industrial, cultural, and to some extent, the agricultural structures. In many ways Russia is realizing its ideas of freedom, as for example, that it has division laws, and its penal system."
