The delegation arrived by special train at the town in which I lived, They entered motor-cars and taken out to an oil-feld, where it was impossible to see anything because of a thick fog.
They were taken to the site of a new housing scheme, but although they got out of their cars they simply locked at the place from the outside, and what they saw can be judged from the fact that one of the workmen told me that before the delegation arrived they had been ordered to clean all the glass in the buildings with spirit to make it shine.
Next they went to another oitfeld, and there they visited a workmen's club an institution provided by the original owners of the fields, British firm, and not by the Soviet oil trust as the delegates seem to think.
Apparently they were much struck by the number of books with which the club is equipped, but-perhaps because they did rot rend Russian-they did not realise that practically all these books deal with Leninism and the rest of the Soviet nostrums.
Returning, at the Engineers Club really a public restaurant, in which ane room is used as a club, they had a special banquet, not at all like what the Russians have to car regularly even special cups for the coffee were seat to the "club."

After the ban quet the delegates re-entered the motor cars and went back to the special train which left at five o'clock in the after oon. That is how they investigated the condition of affairs in this parti- cular area.
The Socialist delegates talk of the enthusiasm of the workers under the new system of State ownership. That is all surface enthusiasm engendered by fear of the G.P-Y., the organisa tion which has succeeded the Cheka. No one is free from this organisation; they exercise the right to enter a man's house at the dead of night, search it. and take whatever they require.”
