NO UNEMPLOYMENT
SEEN IN RUSSIA NEW ZEALANDER’S VISIT (Per Press Association) WELLINGTON, Last Night. Mr. Ralph Hanan, an Invercargill lawyer, a nephew of the Hon. J. AHanan, returned to New Zealand by the Maunganui. He paid a visit to Russia, and says that there is no evidence of unemployment or starvation and that no-one was seen badly clad. He was amazed to find the differencein wages paid to skilled workers, who were receiving about five times as much as the unskilled. Some factories were the most up-to-date he had ever seen.
He attended the funeral of M. Kirov, at which 1,200,000 were present, and it was quite clear that the workers were solidly behind their leaders. The military section of the community was on the best of terms with the workers, who spoke of them as their protectors. Russia, he said, represented a big experiment, and while Russians could justifiably claim to have made some advancement towards their objective,, | they still had some distance to go.
