account Of speech he made before
The Congress OF Political Workers In
Moscow, given out by the Rosta

in substance follows from the fact
that we have suffered a strong defeat

"EvprNbody sees what II sharp turn
The soviet powers and the Communist
party have taken by adopting "A new
economic policy, which, in substance,
contains more of the old regime than
our previous policy. The attitude OF
the soviet toward economic questions
during the first half of 1918 was ex-
traordinarily cautious. Then the ne
cesslty of considering the peasants al
ways was pointed out, ana the role of
state capitalism in soclallstlc construc-
ton was considered
"The civil war and the desperate
position in which the republic found
itself compelled us TO change directly
to communistlc production and distrl-
button. However, a not very lengthy
experience convinced us that without
having gone through period of social
istic adjustment and investigation, it
was not possible to reach even the
lowest steps of communism.
There can be no doubt that on the
economic front, in the attempt 10
come over TO communism toward the
spring of 1921, we suffered defeat
more serious than any we had expert
enced This showed our economic
policies failed TO have their feet on

"The present return TO capitalism
is not the re-establishing of private
ownership, but of personal commun-
