Etter Discusses Russia at Rotary Meeting
Sherman based Hardwicke Etter Company president Joe Etter told the Rotary Club that the Soviet government is an imposed regime led by a small powerful group. He estimated that less than one percent of Russians are communists and argued the masses tolerate communism due to prior oppression under czarism. He described shortages, chaos, and lack of home life, saying Russia’s condition seems permanent and that American fears of Russian competition are unfounded for now. Etter attended as a guest of H. P. Donigan.
