Country Daily Would Murder
Communist Editor

The following, referring to Linn A.
L. Gale, publisher of "Gale's" a
Communist monthly originally publish.
ed in New York for a year, and
published in Mexico City for the last
two years, is taken from the June 10
issue Of the Sun, country daily pu
blished at Norwich, New York. It
is interesting to note that Gale had
his first experience as cub reporter
on the paper in question, graduating
to large cities and settling first in
Albany and later in New York City.
The Norwich Sun published many com.
plimentary things about him until he
left tho Democratic Party and became
Communist - then its policy chang.
ed. Before he was Radical, Gale was,
in the estimation q the Sun, "bril.
liant writer, "capable EDITOR, etc,
and his word was Gas good as his
bond" After he became a revolutions
ist, all this changed. II is evident that
Gales pen is sufficiently vigorous 70
hurt the tools Of capitalism, else such
a nasty yelp would not have been
heard.

From "sovies Russia.

The economic policy of the Soviet Government
was established in the midst of neessant fighting,
when the entire country was vast military camp,
and the problems of the war paramount. To put
this policy into practice demanded an intense ap'
plieation of forces to overcome internal as well as
external resistance The carrying out of this policy
was hndered as much by the attacks of the counter
revoutionists as by the open and secret sabotage
the superior technical personnel inertia and prejudice
were the enemies to be fought in difficult struggle
The Soviet organs which direct the economis life
are based upon trade union organizations, From top
to bottom the system of direction is constructed
upon trade union organizations From top to bottom
the system of direction is constructed upon this ba'
At the head of the entire administration is the
Supreme Council of National Economy; in the pro
yinees the local Councils of National Economy.
All the activities of the Supreme Council of Ma
tional Economy are supervised by Bureau com
posed of eleven persons Corresponding to the various
branches of industry: metaurgical, chemical textile
eleetro.teehnica etc.. the Supreme Council Of Ma
,onal Economy is divided into fifty sections Of
production at the head of which the Committees,
each composed of from three to seven persons.
The appointment of the president of the Supreme
sttute, are ratified by the Central Executive Com
mttee of the Soyiets of all Russia that Of the
members of the Bureau by the Council Of Peoples
Commissaries But the candidatures are usually sub
mited before ratification to the general Council Of
Russian labor unions.
All the sectional committees of the Supreme
Council of National Economy are approved by the
Bureau but never until after preliminary under
standing with the corresponding syndicate The work
er as well as the specialists (engneers, teehnieians
have members in all the committees and in the
Bureau.
The local Councils of National Economy the

ton for the various state enterprises and trusts rs

standing with the corresponding syndicate.
A great number Of specialists are on the Com
mittees and in the management Of factories as
many as sixty per cent specialists and forty per
cent are workers.
Thus the Soviet power replaced the system Of
capitalist direction by the Soviet system, which
planted deep roots in the farthest corners Of our
economic life. Despite the difficult external and
internal conditions this system is accomplishing its
task perfectly.
To sum up these two years of struggle, the

State trust for machine construction, comprising sx'
teen of the most important enterprises, represent
result unprecedented in the economic world.
The situation is similar in the nationalized
terprises of the textile industry to the number of
more than 5OO divided hto forty different associa
tions each embracing everal enterprises and all

From the point Sof view of finance, provisions,

Owing 70 this system the distribution of fuel and
basic materials becomes more equal and rational If
one considers the extremely difficult situation in
which Soviet Russia va placed, during these last
two years, in the mater of fuel, having at her
disposal only ten per cert of Indispensable coal and
only ninety.thrce million poods of naphta in lieu of
the 400 millions necessary each year. one can see
that only the Capitalization of distribution and
certain economy have aiied us to evade terrible
fuel crisis AS for the distribution of raw, materials
that was organized in q satisfactory
In the sphere of rural economy the organization
of Soviet explotatons direct by Soviet organs made
it possible not only to notect agriculture the great
land properties but also permitted the industrial pro-
tariat to take part for the forst time in agricultural Ia
bor and created also for the first time solid ties be-
tween industry and agricultural exploitation between
the city and the country.
At present nearly three million hectares are al
ready in the hands of Soviet explorations and
agricultural communes
Returning to the economic situation and the re.
first that this situation as result of our activity
depended upon changes brought about by the civil
war
The Don Basin, the Urals, the Caucasus, the
principal sources Of fuel and raw material of coal
naphta, iron east-iron, stee--passed from hand to
han0. For certain length or time they feu again
to the Soviet power, but new assaults by the White
Guards deprived US of them, running organized pre-
duction and taking from us accumulated reserves
AS result the center of Soviet Russia became
Cur principal base. ~
The loss of the Don Basin meant for MS the los
Of eighty per cent Of all our coal; the occupation
of Baku by the English deprived of naphta; tn,
occupation of the South and the Urals-of metals
It is easy thus to realize the difficult conditions
under which economic life developed.
But in addition to territorial conditions, on
economic situation was influenced by the fact thai
we had again to mobilize our industry and employ il
for the needs of war.
Such are the conditions under which our eco
nomic activity was developed and our progres.
brought to realization

The Supreme Lodge of The Bel
ligerent Bellyachers of America met in
Chicago and put their complaints into
concrete form. They not only did that,
by heck, but they nominated a
candidate for President to see that
their complaints are listened to by the
capitalists who control the government
and will still control it even though
their candidate were elected. The
Farmer Labor Party will shoot its
wad in November and then quietly die
of sleeping sickness. None of these
maleontents express dissatisfaction
with the capitalist system of produc

be assumed that they are merely out

means of production passed almost entirely from the
hands of the capitalists and propretors into those of
society personified in the Soviet organs.
Naturalization of the factories, shops mines,
etc. was brought about first in the principal branch
es of industry and in the most important enterprises
False information has often been circulated in
which, it was said followed no fixed plan. This
is falsehood without foundation.
Naturalization, especially beginning with the
second half of the year 1918, was brought about in
accordance with fixed plan embracing the indust-
rial branches and enterprises most important and iu-
dispensable for the organization of the national
economy.
As to the "sman trades and the eoOperatives,
not only were they not natiOnalzed, but they were
protected by special decrees and dispositions.
The following tables gives and idea of the pro-
portionate figures for naturalization in the course
OF the last two years.

!. Enterprises ...,..,....,....,.....'. 4Oo0

These figures are little short in the Of
the enterprises 1000 enterprises under the Su-
preme Council of National Economy, but in the pro-
vinees many nationalized enterprises, being under
the direction of local organs, do not figure in the
statistics drawn up by the central organs
1t may be said with certainty that ninety per
cent OF industry is nationalized.
The SOvie: power inherited from Capitalism en-,
terprses isolated and deprived of connecting bonds
It's task as indicated above was to construct an
organization of national economy based upon socialist
principles
1t indispensable that there be organized and
created in the domain of industry and that of rural
economy associations Of isolated enterprises that
and their financial system constructed upon new
principles
In resume of all the innovations introduced in

The above figures only for fuel and rev
material accumulated and utliizated by the Supreme
Council of National Economy.
We can see that the situation has become worse
in the matter of fuel because of the loss of the
naphta In 1918 we could transport the naphta from
Baku, but in 1919 we did not receive any at all.
Owing to this circumstance we were obliged 20
and this was the cause Of the famine in fuel for
dwellings. Before the war no more wood was pre-
pared than now: from four to five million cubic
sazhins, but then there was COAL and naphta which
served industry and the wood was used principally
to heat dwellings; now wood is the principal fuel
As regards peat the situation has improved, and in
1919 it was prepared in greater quantities (191S -
fifty-eight million pools; in 19l9-sixty million
poods) The preparation Of material for our
textile industry sufficient and the industry is
fully provided for. Flax and furs have accumulated
in such great quantities that it would be easy to
port them abroad.
With regard to metals the situation has become
difficult we have utilized our old reserves all this
time. With the retaking of the Urals and the de-
feat of Kolchak, the situation has improved and
we are receiving metals from the Urals.
In short, the system of provisioning under Soviet
rule functions perfectly and is soidly constructed.
The latest statistics indicate that more than a
million workers Excluding those employed rail-
roads, commerce, etc., are at the present moment
working in the industries of Soviet Russia. (The
figures incomplete.) In certain branches of in
