Actualâ€" ly, to a Russian child the chances are that a tiger hunt in India exciting to read about, will be no more exciting than the story which tells him every tep in the history of the manufacture of cotton cloth. i The Soviet Union is a world in itself, & league of many tribes and nations , that are being linked by Soviet strucâ€" «tureâ€"and books are often translated imto 20 or more languages (pictures, |happily, need not be translated; they are understood in Babel). It is politiâ€" |cally significant for the rest of the 'world that the Russian government is !now welding a national sense throughâ€" iout the land by such simple means as tales of the life of children in all the #rar corners of the Union. Books are also being used to develop a sense of !rpsponsibmty for and common cause iwith the millions of China, India and |Africa..

So the average Russian child grows up knowinz a great deal about his own country and about Africa and Asia as well. What you do not see in Russia are any expensive books. Not one. The Soviet Union is designing libraries for masses, and masses are poor. The Russians think of books as carriers, educators, things of use and iltuminaâ€" tion, but hardly as property. They are content to make paper books that are read and read and thrown away. Whereas in America two dollars is an average price and 2500 the average edition, more and more the Russians try out all their children‘s books in editions of 32,000; and miracles of: color printing can be worked for ten cents when the big edition distributes: the load of initial cost.
