However, the mlers in the Kremlin allow and to an extent encourage criticism of individual factories and stores and the goods they sell. This, probably, serves a dual purpose it gives the citizens a chance to blow otf a little harmless steam, and it also keeps the managers and employes of the various government monopolies in a state of suspense. In any event, these criticisms are often printed in the Russian papers. They always follow the same line. Comrade A bought a sewing machine and found it wouldnt run because a part was missing and be couldnt obtain it. Comrade B went into a store to buy an overcoat, but the clerk wouldnt sell it to him unless he also bought a pair of pants he didnt want it seems the pants were of such bad quality that this was the only way they could be moved off the shelves. Comrade Cs latest ration of cigarettes contained next to no tobacco and came apart when he tried to smoke them. So it goes, down a long list of sad complaints. In Russia, the factories and the stores are either owned by the state or run by the state, and in either case the result to the consumer is the same. Its strictly a proposition, which is only possible in an economy which has rid itself of such bothersome factors as competition. Contrast that vith America, where the chain stores and the independent stores, the big stores and the little stores, are all looking for more business and are scratching their heads to find new ways to attract the oonsumer. If a man doesnt like one stores stocks or service or prices or anything else, 'he just moves on down the street, taking his money with him. Hes a free agent free to pick and choose as much as he likes. It looks as if there is something to be said for competitive free enterprise after all. take-it-or-leave- WHAT A DIFFERENCE.
