In Pskov I askod many Russians: "Are you afraid of the Polish in vasion?" "We welcome no invasion, "yet anything--is better thanHliis hell!", they Coin itie. " The. marketing by Russian ;womon at Pskov is a complicated, tiring anil hazardous chore. i Theoretically, all trade in Russia Is abolished. Tre stores of this once thriving town of 30,000 peoplo now arc closed and boarded up. Grass grows tall on Scr glyvskaya, the main street of Pskov. Yet tho illegal market flourishes. In an alleged Communist republic, Individualism still exists! Century old i habits die hard. I Russian people still buy, sell and i barter. I The shrewdest and most cunning get sufficient and tho old, the weak and the Ignorant starve and die. 1 went marketing with the women,) the wife of the superintendent of the! Soviet flax factory acting as my guide. ) This woman's problem is to provide j food for a family of five. Her hus band draws Ihe Insufficient workers' ration and his wages are 3-100 rubles a month. Bread sells for 500 rubles aj pound. . ".Must Live,'' Say Leaders. j The market squaro was filled with j Red soldiers and townspeople. 33ven the commissar's employes were there for I recognized somo of them as being' of the extraordinary commission for! tho suppression of the counter revo-, lution and from communist headquar-j tors. "What are you ding here?" I heard one commissar ask another. "You are sabotaging the revolution." "We cannot accomplish everything in a day," was the reply of his com-t panlon. "We must live." The Russian peasant farmers do not want Soviet money but they do want salt for uso in preserving meat. The Jews of Pskov have cornered! salt and now the townspeople are exchanging Soviet money for Czar money and then buying salt with Czar rubles and exchanging the salt foi farm produce. I The market stalls that are closed be- i longed to the petty bourgeolse. J I bought 10 cgtrs for a pound and I a half of salt. One fish cost mo a. pound of salt and a pound of ehcosa i cost four pounds of salt. Six small car-1 'rots cost a pound of salt whllo two pounds of beef might be bartered for I two pounds of salt. I I There Is a penalty for buying and , I selling, yet 5000 people thronged the1 I market place. J j Jews Buying Czar Money. ' I T. myself, bought "the makings." I A pound of Siberian tobacco cost 5000 rubles, while the paper to make clgar- ettes from a sheet torn from used of ! flee letter carrying hook, cost me 25 j j rubles. I wanted some small souv-1 enlrs and was taken to the back doorj i of the stall. An employe told me i that the proprietress would fetch j things she had hidden at home to 1 tho market In tho afternoon. This I she did. I I It is strange, if the Bolshevist revo-' 'hitlon were really successful, that the j 'jews, with their proverbial instinct at bargaining, should now be buying Czar I money. ! It is also significant and amusing that on my second day in Pskov, a I commissar visited me at my hotel and offered as a "personal favor," to ex change my Cz&r and Korensky money for Soviet rubles. "You must keep It secret." ho said. "You are liable to bo snot." There arc no lights In Pskov. Under a daylight saving scheme, tho clocks are running three hours fast and as a result tho people wander tho streets at one o'clock In the morning and do not rise until 9 o'clock.
