PIGS ON A PEDESTAL
SOVIET HEADS GIVE SWINE PLACE OF HONOUR RESCUE OF “MEAT FRONT” Times Cable. LONDON, Monday. The Riga correspondent of “The Times” states that under the watchword: “Faces to the Swine,” Soviet leaders have appealed to the trades unions and Communist organisations not to forget pigs. The authorities deplore the fact that the Russian people are inclined to make merry when pigs are mentioned, but the masses must be 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 the breeding of swine, not only in the country, but in the large towns of Russia, where "they may serve as auxiliary scavengers devouring the waste from hospitals, restaurants, prisons and-barracks. Already pigsties have been opened in the centre of Leningrad.
