“FACES TO THE SWINE.”
RUSSIAN SOVIET’S LATEST WATCHWORD. THE ONLY HOPE OF VICTORY ON “THE MEAT FRONT.’’ PIGS IN TOWN AND COUNTRY. United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. (Received Monday, 7 p.m.) LONDON, August 11. “The Times” Riga correspondent states that under the watchword, “Faces to the Swine,” the Soviet leaders have appealed to trade unions and Communist organisations not to forget pigs. They deplore the fact that people are “inclined to make merry when pigs are mentioned, hut the masses must he made to understand that the meat front can only be rescued by pigs, not rabbits. The 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 breeding swine, not only in the country, but in big towns, where they may serve as auxiliary scavengers, devouring the waste from hospitals, restaurants, prisons and barracks. Styes have already been opened in the centre of Leningrad.
