RUSSIA'S EMPTY STOMACH
"Most of the anecdotes which circulate in Moscow express the irony of a hungry people. There is the conundrum, 'Who are the ' greatest eaters in the world?' to which the answer ds: 'The Russians, heeause they can easily eat up a week's rations in a day.' Then there is the imaginary debate about the effieacy of the American and Soviet political systems. 'Think of it,' says one disputant, 'Congress has taught the Americans not to drink.' 'That is nothing,' is th'e reply. 'The Soviets have taught the Russians not to eat'." — Mr. W. H. Chamberlain in Current History.
