with amazemen. II not with admira-
: LED by their powerful leader, NJ.
Stambu. iwsky, who is a man of great
wisdom and practical common sense,
the peasants are introdncing many re-
forms and numerous innovations IN:
tho government. Perhas the most
novel scheme they have is the So,
called Labor Army, whose ranks Ing
clude every able-bodied inhabitant of
the country. The underlying principle
of It is that every man above 20 and
every woman above 10 shall contrib
ute his or her proportionate share
of labor to the reconstruction. de-
velopment and improvement Of the
country. One group Of workers, for
example,, give a certain part Of their
time to 1.-The building of railways,
bridges and. roads,. another to. the
drainage OF low!ands or the Develop
ment of irrigation, a third to inn
provement of the soil. a. fourth to the
study governmental and admin
~istrative problems; and - on. 10
Another idea introduced by the
peasants is the purchase and sale by
the government, at minimum prices,
OF all things needed for the life Of
the people. This is intended as an
emergency measure tto relieve the
rate Of exchange. The purchasing il
done largely in foreign markets and
in such quantities ass-to insure the
lowest prices. Distributing these
goods direct to the consumer, the
government eliminates the middle
man. and the people get the goods
at the lowest prices.
