After leaving Rykov I went to see Krestinsky, the Commissar of Finance, the curious little optimist whose report on the Extraordinary Tax I had heard at the last meeting of the Executive Committee. I found him in the Ilyinka street, in the Chinese town. I began by telling him that I did not believe that they meant to pay the loans. He laughed and gave me precisely the answer I had expected:-- "Of course we hope there will be a revolution in other countries, in which case they will repudiate their debts and forgive us ours. But if that does not happen we know very well that we shall have to pay, and we are prepared to pay, and shall be able to pay, in concessions, in raw material which they need more than they need gold."Then, being myself neither an economist nor a theoretical socialist, I put before him what had been said to me in Stockholm by an Englishman who was both one and the other; namely, that, being isolated from European finance, the Soviet Government of Russia was bound to come to an end on economic and financial grounds alone.

男孩为什么要穷着养 女孩为什么要富着养
“俗话说：富家子弟多骄，女家子弟多傲。在生活上，再富也要穷孩子，不要给男孩子太丰富的物质基础和太好的成长环境。要让他吃点苦，受点委屈，体会艰辛，这样长大了他才懂得坚韧，学会坚强。明白责任，自立自强。 “富养”不是娇生惯养，而是要充分关心和引导。使女孩见多识广、独立、有主见、明智。清楚自己要的是什么，什么是真正值得自已追求的东西，从而能够在这个花花世界里坚守自己的信仰。有着“采菊东篱下。悠然见南山”的心境，即便是在清贫的环境中，一样可以培养出卓然的气质。”
