RUSS IA \ COMMUNISTS
WILL TACKLE N A L Of
.|NDUSTR RIAL PROBLEMS

Moscow, March 2i.-The ninth an
nual convention Of the All.Russian
communist party, which will open here
on March q, will be Of vital import
ance TO the future OF soviet Russia,
as it will be given the task Of out
lining the internal economic policy Of
the country during the coming year,
Three principal matters Of discus
sion will bc before the convention,
thcae being Industrial rehabilitation,
the agricultural policy and the deVel
opment and status of the cooperative
societies. Two distinct parties have
been formed one fayoring ccntrali2a-
ton of power ana the other oppo5-
ing policy. The former proposes hand
ling the Industrial question through
the mobilization of working forces,
using the peasant military organiZl'
tions as a basis. 1t also favors cXten-
sive development OF agricultural com
munist and complete governmental
control of cooperative societies, this
! being the official government program
and having the support Of Nikolai
Lcnine and Leon TrOtsky.
The decentralistS favor greater lat
itude for local trade unions, smal
land grants and no immediate develop
rnent of agricultural Communes. Thi.
element consists mainly Of provincial
delegates who ask that more power
be vested in local soyets. The out
come will have an important bearing
on the external economic relations OF
soviet Russia.
