Thus, I visited the Soviet Union for the fourth
time. JI saw people who were sure of themselves and calm.
I saw how 30-year—old hopes are being carried out tn reality.
I wos particularlyimpressed by one small detail,
I looked cout of a hotel window at the Red Square after half

scrap of paper in the equare. This was not simply a result
of work of muntcipal employees. It was a result of
feeling of responsibility of the socialist people who felt
that the Red Square was their property and that all were
obliged to take care of its cleanliness. If half a million

attention when he gets 111? How to provide education for
his children, for the cost of education ts growing,not by days
but by hours? How can he permit himself to take a vacation
when every penny is needed in the home? A Soviet citizen

of all people and not of a hand ful of the chosen ones,
Such a disctpline, to its considerable degree ia

It is orgonicclly inherent in the citizens of the USSR, It
ts selfediscipline. Cf course, in the USSR too there are
still people who think only of themselves, Also there are
criminals, However, I do not know any other country where
