Selected from Russians for conspic.u ous service on behalf of the fivc-yeii plan, over 350 Soviet workers reached London in the pouring rain aboard th'« Russian steamer Ukraine. Pretty girls, strong-shouldered with tanned complexions and wearing overalls and berets, mixed with bearded men, fresh-faced youths, stout elderly ladies and plain young women in homespun and Russian boot, all sharing two qualifications—none have been outside Russia previously and all represent tho cream of Russia’s “economic warirors.’’
