NEW YORK. June 9-tonhrmation
OF Correspondent j. Herbert Duck
worth's important personal exposure
OF the real conditions inside Soviet
Russia is contained In the oiiicial
organ OF the Russian Soviet Govern
ment Bureaus pub lication, soviet
Russia" Just issued here.
Il gives the flrst fun report OF two
sessions OF the All-Russian Central
Executive Committee, held in MOSCOW,
Feb. . and March 3. This full report
has Just reached America.
'Discussing the mcaures for the or
ganization OF labor armies" says this
report. Lenin explained that "extra-
ordinary measures are necessary TO
deliver the country from the terrible
consequences Of economic disruption" "
"Our most important task Lenin Is
quoted as saying, sis TO create supply
reserves for the workers OF large in
dustrial centers and to reconstruct the
disrupted means OF transportation"
In other words, famine and wrecked
transportation, Just as Duckworth said
in his flrst cahled dispatch TO The
Evening Journal.
Al the second session OF the eXocu-
tive committee on March g. the presi-
dent OF the Supreme Council OF Ma
tional Economy, Rykov, presented a re-
port on the economic policy Of The
Soviet government.
Rykov pointed out that "our eco.
nomic disruption is caused not onl,
by the external attacks. but also b,
the clal war, which at times rage,
over almost all the territory OF S0vie
Russia. Bridges, roads and factories
have been destroyed"
Then RykOv cOnfesses The real sit
uation in these words: Production il
our factories has greatly decreased
especially In the metal industry
We need lathes, tools, machines
etc, whereby we may accelerate th
reorganization OF our productive en-
terpriSes- Our most important prob
lem at this time Is the reconstruction
OF the means OF transportation, an,
thereafter. TO create large reserve
funds Of food supplies, fuel and raw
materials, which will form a basis fo
a rational organization OF the eco
nomic life OF the country"
This corroborates Duckworih's dis
patch. Rykov urged universal labo
service, through the organization O.
labor armies.
Then Trotsky presented a report OF
the mobilization Of labor-that las
resort Of Soviet Russia in an endeaVo

He said:
The economic condition Of the coun
try demands the establishment OF uni
Versal labor service. Whereas we ar
compelled 70 mobilize the industrla

trade unions. the enrolling OF peasants
in the universal labor service is pos
sible only by undertaking a mobiliza-
ton along military lines. our
most dangerous front at this time is
the economic front There we are
threatened with hunger, cold, epidem-
les, etc. This danger is much more
formidable than the danger from Dem
kin, and 70 demands The concerted
efforts OF the entire country.
This problem is many times as DIM
cult as the military problems which
have confronted us
This recommendation OF slavery for
all the people carries TO It's logical
conclusion the BOlshevist theory That
man exists for the stale. 10 gives the
fundamental cause why the Soviet
system Is falling, as Duckworth says,
namely In removing the incentive TO
work.

and Communications is now In
England at the head Of a Soviet mis-
sion comforting with the British gov
ernmont-repOrted.
"The number Of sick locomotives

periods of from three to five years pre-
ceding the date OF valuation this com =
mission is not willing to agree to a
valuation basis on present reproduC-
ton costs at the greatly inflated prices
brought about by reason of war condi-
tons. A return based upon any such
value would be greatly unfair to the
public, and the utility is by no pro-
cess of reasoning entitled to a return
on same.
Furthermore, to take and maintain
a reproduction value on the present ah-
normal basis would, when there Is a
return to something approaching nor

lie utilities which were obliged TO In

many court decisions UNFOLDING the re
production cost theory versus the in
vestment cost basis were brought about
by reason Of unwise investments made
by companies and to prevent too large
return.
HUGHES OPINION.
The situation Is forcibly stated by
Hon. Charles +. Hughes, former JUS
tice of the United States supreme
court, in his opinion as referee in the
case brought by the Brooklyn Borough
rdS company against the new f0rE
public service commission for the first
district OF. U, r.. 1918. r. $3.50
The commission has before it an ap-
praisal made in 1913, based reasonably
upon the average unit prices for the
FIVE preceding years in which the ap-
praisers arrived at a reproduction cost
in that year. This appraisal was made
by engineers representing the company
and the city. who elected a third en-
gineer to cooperate with them. The
valuation reached by them allows tire
company appreciation in value of its
property due to slowly. but quite regu-
larry advancing prices over their orig
inal cost, and therefore meets the ar
gument up to that time IN favor OF
allowing utility to earn return on
increased values of property pre-
yiously purchased by it. AS stated. the
commission is unwilling to apply this
reproduction theory at present cost
prices. and will not do so We have,
however. taken the appraisal value as
Of July l, 1913, adding thereto the
probable actual cost OF additions to
the plant since that time at war prices
and after deductng depreciation on
the additions have arrived at what we
consider the fair value of the com
poses as sl.155s25.es.
In its brief the city has much to say
concerning the companys investment
in this property, the amount and ma
ture OF the securities issued by II.
and the construction OF it's financial
statements. The commission is not con-
