NOREALCY BY 1925 IS AIM
=. OF RUSSIAN Government
Soviet Hopes to Attract Foreign
Capital for Development Of
Many Industries.

The soviet government has set 1929
as the year when the production of
Russian industries should be brought
up to an output approaching the pre-
war normal.
Transport and agriculture and all
auxiliary Industries connected with
them are to be re-established first.
Special attention and liberal expendi-
ture are recommended for oil and coal
production.
Oil, WHICH in 1922 yielded 100000, 600
pools "a pood is Sc pounds) is expect
ed to yield 497,O00,0O0 in 1925, and
coal, which in 1929 yielded 67O,O00,O00
pools is expected to give 1,G70,O00,000
pools in 1925, as against 57O,O00,O00
pools of oil in pre-war times, and e.
097,O0O,C00 poods Of coal in 1916, the
year of maximum production.
The metal industry, which in 1922
yielded 30,O9O.0OO pools, is expected to
yield 12O,OO0,O00 in 1925. as against
257,4o0OCO pools in 1913. In the tex
tile industry, where 1,3GS,500 spindles
and $4,000 looms are working in 1922,
producing 500000,000 yards of cloth,
100000 spindes and 5000 looms are
expected to yield 1,400,OO0,00O yards Of
Cloth in 1925.
This plan, however, cannot be ac-
complished without money, says a re-
port to the recent communist party
conferences. Money Is needed from
the start both nc Fundamental and
working capital. And the sum to bring
the various industries through till
1928 is fixed at 3,500000,OO0 gold
rubles.
AS no such money can be found in
the country, the report urges the neces-
sity of attracting money from abroad,
as otherwise the existence of the most
important industries-metal, machine
and mining-are greatly threatened.
