BREEDING OF SWINE.
RUSSIA'S MEAT PROBLEM
APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE. (Received August 11, 7.35 p.m.) Times Cable. LONDON, August 11. The Riga correspondent of tho Times states that under the watchword: "Faces to the Swino," Soviet leaders have appealed to tho trades unions and Communist organisations not to forget pigs. The authorities deplore the fact that the Russian people are inclined to make merry when pigs are mentioned, but tho masses must be made to understand that the " meat front " can only be rescued by pigs—not rabbits. Tho pig must be given a place of honour immediately behind the highest leaders of the party.
The appeal points out that the party has worked out plans for tho breeding of swine, not only in the country but in tho largo towns of Russia, where they may serve as auxiliary scavengers devouring the waste from hospitals, restaurants, prisons and barracks. Already pigsties have been opened in tho centre of Leningrad.
