ee a Translation from the Estonian Valismaalaste Silmadega (translation - Through the byes of Foreigners). The sub-title which appears in parenthesis can roughly be translated to mean: The opinions of visitors to the USSR. The booklet was published in 1958 by the Committee for "Returning to the Homeland." It was printed by "Uniselu" (translation - "Community Life"), Tallinn. Pages 3 - 13. Introduction (full translation). The intro- duction was written by I. TURBAI. Predictions that Have Failed to Materialize {In place of an in uction ) "The common Spaniards turned to me, as a person who has lived in the Soviet Union nearly 20 years, with questions about the socialistic country and its people. And what questions were presented to met For instance I was asked: "Is it true that grownups eat children in Soviet Russia? Is it true that the worker in Russia receives a certain number of _?_ instead of money and that working people cannot eat at home but . are required to dine in a restaurant.* Your hair stands on end when you hear such questione. And in the Ewentieth century!" Thus wrote about his trip to Spain ROCHINEZ-GARAISAR JOSE MARIO, whose letter we published recently in the newspaper "For Returning to ‘phe Homeland". It is natural that as an honest person JOSE MARIO, who was brought to our country as a child and grew up in the actual conditions of the Soviet Union, had to feel deep displeasure over the dirty pro- paganda which is directed tomards the country which has become his second nomeland. "You see now how far has gone the Fascist slander in Spain towards the workers' and farmers' country," shouts JOSE MARIO. Young JCSE could be surprised and get angry at this gloomy fiction, as if grownups would eat children in our country. But the olijer generation of the Soviet Union and even the generation of the October Kkevolution have heard even worse. ee ae aie —_- =. “o”,. a ” ry. =, ~~ <a - . - eat ea tte ~~ rad” eros iS Cie, woes et ae, aa =" wf ee oO yin A> eo, ‘Eee Rae BRAT ORS moe Apr e SO IT pha ee e
