Prominent War Correspondent Calls Mr. John Reed '10 Hero of Russians

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

"John Reed '10 will go down in Russian history much the same way that Lafayette did in American history," said Miss Ann Louise Strong, prominent author and war correspondent speaking at the Liberal Club at luncheon yesterday afternoon. "He gave his life in service to the Russian people: he interpreted their struggle in an unprejudiced way that carned for him the esteem of all Russia. The fact that he is the only American buried outside the Kremlin in Moscow, and the John Reed Memorial non the banks of the Volga attest to the place he holds in Russia's heart."

Replying to an inquiry on education is Russia today Miss Strong said "The education budget is the only one which is increasing each year. The army is 100 per cent literate, and the Trade Unions maintain 1500 teaching centers where workers learn to read and write. The Universities are filled with young men who are taking technical courses, many institutions having discontinued entirely classical study."
