SUNDAY, APRIL 4, 1937 T1E lEICI GAN DAILY U.S.S.R. Celebrates 20th Anniversary Of Revolution Thi is Year Visit To Russia Offers Mixture O Modern, Old Over 12,000 Americans Expected To Tour Soviet For 20th Anniversary More than 12,000 American tour- ists are expected to tour Soviet Rus- sia this. year to watch that coun- try celebrate its 20th anniversary of the revolution, which brought the establishment of the S.oviet state. Last year 9,000 visitors were enter- tained. Russia is getting to be known more and more to American tourists as a place where the modern is mixed with the old. The Soviet Union tells its visitors proudly about the facts and figures concerning the new apartment building just around the corner, rath- er than about how a little boy saved the beautiful cathedral from the en- emy several centuries ago. To Begin May Day This year the Russians are plan- ning a group of celebrations to com- memorate their industrial era and advance. May Day will sound the beginning of the extensive festivities planned for the anniversary of the days of Nov. 7 and 8. The principal activities are to be staged in Moscow, Leningrad and Vladivostok, which form the centers usually of most in- terest for tourists. However, every city, town and hamlet throughout Russia and Siberia is making exten- sive preparations for its own little celebration under the socialistic sys- tem. Moscow at present is in its second year of the new 10-year plan of re- construction. The little, winding streets are being made into wide, beautiful boulevards; heavy traffic is being eased with the construction of subways; rickety, old buildings are being torn down and new, scientifi- cally sanitary structures are being put up. Tourists Laud Progress Similar modernization is going on in Leningrad, Kharkov and many other cities and towns. Visitors to Russia who had toured the Soviet Republic 10 years ago have said that they are astounded at the remarkable progress being made. People who are interested in co- operative movements in their local towns in America will be interested in the system of factories and stores in Russia. The middle man is almost unknown to the Russians. Most of the concerns are governmentally op- erated and are run without consider- ation for profits. Yet with all the modernization and development of science, Russia represents a veritable happy hunting- ground to the seeker of the ancient and the mellowed.
