LANSBURY'S MOSCOW WOMEN CONSCRIPTED AS
SOAVENGERS HOME
With every returning refugee from Moscow evidence Keur
accumfilates that condy tidos in that unhappy city under Soviet rule "represent (ays the London Mors
ing Port) the high - water mark in misery, personal and collective, and brutal government Mr. George Lansbury notwithstanding. Among the recent ar rivals in England is Miss Eva Kathlon West, daughter of the late Dr. West, s well-remembered Taunton surgoon. Bho had the horrible experience, thrics horrible for a woman, of living under Soviet rule. in Moscow from the days of its incepilda down to March 8th last, after the date of the visit of a famons English statesman |

certain Lord Lansbury. In the courge of an interview she says:- i
It was tragio to soe, as I did on many occasions, former wealthy or middle class citizens tramping through the snow (a method of locomotion Mr. Lansbury found ao wapleasant and uncomfortable that he was glad to ride) to the markets, carry- ing beautiful wacks of art, picces of far- n'lure, and articles of clothing, which they were compelled to, barter away for food to keep themselves from starving to death. And all they could get in return were varying quantities of millet, frozen vegot- ables, and black bread. The last family with whom I lived had to strip their once beautiful home bare to keep themselves alivo.

All the normal method of cleaning the city and dealing with its sanitation grad- ually coased under Soviet domination. and men and women of refinement and education are liable to be ordered out of their houses at any time of the day or night to clean the streets or railways They are collected from their homes, formed into labour gangs, and marched off under Soviet guards to do this heary work. There is no respect for women, er nationality in this matter, na my own case eventually proved, An English lady I knew was compelled to go out one day and work.for eight hours under awful conditiona
WOMEN AS RAILWAY' CLEANERS..
My own turn came about the end of February this year, when an order was served upon me to go out and join a gang, of, railway cleaners, I was ill in bod at the time, and would have been drag ged out by force had not a lady friend spent a whole day going to Soviet Com. missaries, pleading to get me excused, Then one of their own doctors had to give la certificate of exemption, but they had not finished with me, On the day of my turn received a request from the House Committed to see my official exemption. This sent to them, and in rearm I received an order to appear before the Commissarice of the district at ten o'clock that night, and in perishing weather, too! 1, could do nothing but ignore the order, and a few days later another requisition was served upon me, stating that I must do my duty to the city of Moscow on March 29th, instead of the actual date of my turn. Happily, I had left the miser- able city by them, and was on my way to dear old England, and to real liberty. I should say this Bolahovist system of forced labour has no regard for the post. tion, sex, or physical fitness of the con- scripted people,
The education “reform" consisted of the amalgamation of boys' and girls' schools, and freedom for the children to control themselves, the teachers being only allowed to give them lectures and such lessons as they cared to have. Some of my friends who were teachers assured me that the new system, was a miserable failure, and that no discipline could be maintained or proper teaching given. Young Bus sians who came to me for lowons told me frankly Miss West was a teacher of Eng- lish) that they could learn nothing at the Sofist Government schools.
SPOTTED TYPHUS ZAGING.
Questioned as to the health of the po pulation, Mias West maid:
Spotted typhus is raging among the stricken: "people; as there is no proper means to cope with the disease, or, the vermin that carry it. The Russian bos pitals aro in a wretched condition, one case that rare ander my own personal notice giving an appalling lustration of this. A young soldier of the Red Army, formerly an officer under the old régime, came home ill to the house where. I was living. It was necessary to burn his cloth. ing, which was full of vermin, and, he was given a good bath and clean garments, but he could not remain in the house because found to be suffering from typhun Beirg a soldier he was taken, to a military hoë pital, and when they sent him home, called convalescent, the poor follow was again covered with lico.
Incidentally Miss West mentioned that her passport was the only document she was permited by the Soviet authorities to bring out of Rusia. A diary she had { kept had to be destroyed. During their | stay in Finland and" on the voyage to England Min West and her fellow-refu goes were exceedingly well cared for and Ked
