NOT FOR THE SOVIET
ARISTOCRATIC DOLLS. LONDON, July 10. The Soviet denounces rattles as capitalistic dolls, and as reflecting the “trivial bourgeois family environment.” Plump, lady-like dolls, elegantly clothed and wearing fair curls are especially counter-revolutionary. The newspaper Pravda declares; Under capitalism, toys are designed for the rich because workers cannot afford them. Soviet toys are for proletarians; therefore we must scrap the traditional patterns which develop babies instead of young Soviet Edisons. The Soviet wants polytechnical toys, acquainting children with machine principles and inspiring enthusiasm and interest in the Five-Year-Plan.”
