COMMISSION FAILS

COMMlSSlON FAlLS
After long rest in the country Premier
Lenine of Soviet Russia has returned to the
political arena with an open admission of COM
munism's defeat. according to an account of
a speech he made recently before the Congress
of Political Workers in Moscow, given out by
the Rosta Agency official Bolshevik news dis
senlinator. asH -t y.
"Our new economic policy, in substance, fol-
lows from the fact that we have suffered
strong defeat and have begun to carry out
strategic retreat" he declared Before we are
defeated finally let us step back and reform
anew, but a stronger base.
Everybody sees what sharp turn the So
Wet powers and the Communist party have
taken by adopting a new economic policy,
which contains more of the old regime than
of our previous policy
"The civil war which broke out and the
desperate position in which the republic found
itself compelled us to change directly to COM
muniStic production and distribution. How
ever, not a very lengthy experience convinced
of SocialiStic adjustment and investigation it
us that without having gone through a period
was not possible to reach even the. lowest
steps of communism.
There can be no doubt that on the eco
nomic front, in the attempt to come over to
communism toward the spring of 1921, we
had experienced before This showed our eco
nomic policies failed to have their feet on the
ground and did not create that raising of pro-
ductive powers which was recognized in the
party program as fundamental and urgent
acquisitions in villages and direct com.
muniStic approach to construction problems in
the cities retarded the elevation of our pro.
ductive powers and were the cause of deep
economic and political crisis. We recognized
defeat and retreated, and the retreat is con.
tinung in many places even at present, amid
very unnecessary disorders"
