system Of acquisitions was introduced
Outside force began to be applied to
the peasants who refused to give up
their extra stocks of grain. As a re-
suit OF this the peasants began mark
edly and deliberately to contract their
planting area. SO widespread became
this phenomenon that toward the end
Of 1920 the Soviet regime began to take
very drastic measures against it, but
without an result
The application of the system of COM
pulsion did not stay the process Of de-
crcasing production, either in industry
or IN agriculture. On the contrary, it
qulckened this process by inducing in
the masses of both the proletarian and
the peasant population still greater
resentment against the regime. Nor
did it improve the situation with regard
TO state control over distribution. The
extent of the "spckulyatsa" increased

three-year exercise of this control the
party had brought Russia to the tight
corner of steadily decreasing production,
both IN industry and in agriculture. As
result of this Soviet Russia was fac
ing at the beginning of 1921 food
crisis of unprecedented acuteness and an
unheard Of shortage of manufactured
goods.
This double crisis, resulting from
decreasing production, coupled witt
such other factors as an utter dis
organization of the system of trans
portation and a tremendous shortage
OF fuel, obviously was conducive to
political consequences that were bound
to prove dire indeed so far az con-
tinued dictatorship of the Communist
party was concerned. There were al
ready indications of such political con-
sequences in the form of the Cron-
stadt revolt and an increased wave of
peasant uprisngs.
Lenine and the ma. GRITTY Of Soviet
leaders saw two ways open before
them. The first was to appeal to all
the elements of the population for CO.
operation with the Soviet regime in
the task of economic reconstruction
This would have meant sharing politi-
cal authority with the bourgeoisie, TIE
petty bourgeois peasantry and the
prescribed opposition Socialists as
we'll as a restoration of civic rights
and liberties. The second way was
preservation of the dictatorship of
the Communist party so far as polt-
ca authority was concerned and far
reaching compromises Of an economic
nature in an attempt to allay the hos
tllity of the oppositonary masses
Lcnne chose the second way
In his program speech, which he de-
livered at the tenth all-Russian con-
gress of the Communist party, Lcnne
attempted to fix definitely the blame
for Soviet Russia economic dabacl,
on the peasantry He stated that the
central and vital point in Russias
economic disorganization under the
Soviets has been the breaking down
Of the system OF transportation and
of large scale nationalized industry.
But the reason for this, according to
Lenine, lay in the attitude of the

The situation which confronted the

Lenlnc first began to apply himself Sc

struction on the basis of "revised" poll

The Beginning Of 1921
The whole governmental power was
concentrated in the hands Of the Com
munist party. which by It's very nature
constitutes merely a small minority of
the industrial proletariat. The party
also had in its hands an officially COM

He however, recognizes the deprecated
value of the frame in giving his com
Parsons in money values since 1913,
when the total of both French exports
and imports were valued at "a little
more than $4,000, 900, 900 francs" In
1919 the total of imports and exports
was about 49G7S, 100000 francs, and in
1920 reached nearly $4,000, 100000
francs.
In 1913 Frances imports exceeded her
exports Sd / ,000,00O francs. In 1919
this surplus rose to 1920, 00O, 900

imports over exports was down to H.

'1f the progression Of our exports
holds, it is probable that for the first
time in years Frances commercial bal
nncc will not fall short. On the con
trary, there will be marked excess of
exports over imports.
For the first FIVE months of 1921 the
total of imports was 86s3, 900 900

then leave them for the time being in
undisturbed possession of this land
with only nominal state supervision.
Finally, there remained the third
basic line of economic activity-the
distribution of products. This the
Soviet regime considered it indispen-
sable to monopolize, since in the dis
tribution of the necessities of life OBJ
viously lay the key to its control over
the population, the overwhelming ma
jority of which was not prepared for
the new forms and resented them from
the start. The naturalization of in
dustry and trade gave into the hands
Of the Soviet regime the already exist
ing stocks of manufactured goods and
the output of current production. The
thing that remained was to get food
supplies from the peasants. A state
food monopoly was to be the means of
this.
But the peasants objected to the food
monopoly from the start, even when
1T began to be partly introduced by tie
provisional government before the
coming of the Communists. They
wanted freedom of trade with the
prices determined by supply and de-
mand. The Soviet regime substituted
rigid state monopoly, with the prices
fixed by the state. And these prices
were 30 low that the peasants refused
to sell their foodstuffs TO the govern
mental agencies.
Food Situation Took
Change for the Worse
Tbs result of this was that the fed
situation in the cities and industrial
centers, already bad enough under the
provisional government, immediately
took change for the worse as soon as
the Bolsheviki came in. II grew
steadily worse. Coupled with tn. re-
moval of experienced and efficient
management and the substitution for

economic work. What the regime
needed for the success of its expert

compromise with the peasantry
later speech, delivered at an extraordi-
nary party conference held at the end
Of May, Lenine stated that the prole
tarlat (meaning, Of course. the Com
munist parity is willing neither to give
up authority to the peasantry nor
share it. He did, however, offer the
peasantry a peaceful compromise prom
lsing IN that case to concede to it GER
tam economic demands, the extent of
which would be determined by the
Communist party. AS an alternative
to this Lenine spoke darkly of con-
tinued struggle between the Commu-
INST party and the peasantry. He has
tened, however, to qualify this threat
OF a continued struggle, for he has be-
hlnd HIM three years of thoroughly un-
successful struggle against the peas
antry. This qualification he stated az
follows:
The proletariat controls the peas
antry, but the peasant class cannot be
driven to the wall in the same way in
which we had driven to the wall and
destroyed the class of land owners and
capitalists. 1t is necessary to trans
form 1T, and this is long process that
requires great efforts and offers ire
mendous difficulties"
Attempted to Explain
Food Supply Policy
1t was in this manner that I.enine
justified to some of his own protesting
followers the recent changes in the
1000 supply policy of the Soviet regime
when tax in kind and a limited
amount OF free trade in foodstuffs
were substituted for the former svs-
tom of acquisitions, thus merely LEGAL
lzlng the system of "spekulvatsia. y
This was the first economic concession
to the peasantry, for Lenine himself
admitted, in an article published in

Attempted to Explain
Food Supply Policy

throne the French language. Also in
the Versailles conference French was
at least shared among the delegates.
But to-day" he continues, at is not
matter Of sharing the language but
o. abdication; of total eclipse. French
passes into the rank of Greek or

French has long been the universal
diplomatic language, and the Harding
ruling, which holsters up a campaign
during recent years, mainly from Eng
lend, to supplant the ancient custom in
favor Of English, is not received we'll
anywhere in France. Frenchmen re-
sent the incursion of English in the
Versailles conference, where Premier

knew best
BRAND Speaks No English;

The latest Development, in view Of
the international conference at Wash
ington, is nearly the last straw. The
subject remains a virie one at every
spot where French litterateurs gather.
And 1t is possible that it will yet form
the basis of diplomatic exchanges be-
tween the French Foreign Office and
the State Department in Washington
Premier BRAND is keenly in favor Of

conference. He speaks no English II

Commenting on the state of affairs
the usually outspoken Liberte thinks
that the Washington suggestion is just
another step toward the elimination
of the French language. already badly
mlstreated by the negotators at Ver-
sailles' The Liberte added:
For centuries our language has been
the diplomatic language. international
treaties have been discussed and drawn
up in French. 1t served for the Treaty
of Vienna in 1919. for the Treaty OF
France in 1871, for that of Berlin in
1878 and for a hundred others. In 1919
our tongue was obliged, not to cede first
place, but to share with English. To-
day, if one understands rightly, it is
not only proposed to remove US from
the front rank. ex eoquo, not only to
remove us to second rank, but to elimi-
nate us altogether.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1921-08-14

The peasants just as perslstentlv re-
fused to give up their grain under the
existing conditions. The result OF this
was twofold: In the first place, the
Soviet regime was never able to have
enough food for distribution to really
exercise functions Of control wach IT
expected from the food monopoly, and.
IN the second place, there grew up a
systel of smuggling of food into citlcs
and industrial centers, a clandestine
prohteerlng trade on the basis of pri-
vate barter, known as "spekulatsia ,"
The government knew about the trade
yet thought it best not to Interfere to
any marked extent, for without this
ciandestlne trade very large pa;t OF
the city population would have liter
ally starved to death long ago. And
the net consequence of the whole pro
cess we're an irresistible decrease of
larly marked disorga OF the
means of sportation.
After its first two years in power
the Soviet regime decided to add to
the factor of mechanical regulation.
which 1t attempted to introduce during
the first phase of the experiment, the
factor of compusion. In industrial
production discipline became very lax
and large numbers OF workmen had
run away to the rural districts. where
food at least was procurable. The
task of the Soviet regime was to get
more work out of the remaining work
men and to bring back those who had
run away The regime had to contend
against such difficulties as absence
from work, at times reaching rs and
80 per cent, floating on the job" etc.
The system it applied in this case
was that known as the militarization of
labor
