run away to the woods" psychology Of
czarist times. We have to learn how
to do business, or else we will not
retain or develop the conquests Of the
revoIutionl-this is the prevailing
idea. For an outsider who thinks of
revolutions only in terms of insurrec-
tons, barricades and red banners, 1t
may be strange to discover that a
revolution is busy with calculating
induces of prices, with stabilizing the
currency, with increasing the output
Of manufactured commodities, with
improving transportation, with tinker
ing in a thousand and one fashion
around the economic apparatus OF
the country. The proletariat has con-
quered power The proletariat mas

DEFORE we plunge into detailed
- analysis of the Russian economic
and political situation, let us cast
glance at the outward appearance of
Russian life. We know from statistics
that agriculture in Russia has reached
rs per cent of it's pre-war output and
industry is approaching the 40 per
cent mark. To the prejudiced mind it
seems a low level, especially in view
of the fact that even in 1914 this was
not a highly developed industrial
country. However, figures alone can
not give an idea of the realities that
make up the life of a people, and If
comparisons are necessary, they
should be made, not with pre-war
years Of prosperity and economic ex
pansion, but with the years of civil
war and revolution, years OF economic

supremacy against external and in
ternal foes. Now that power is Sc
cured and foreign Intervention is not
likely, work of reconstruction becomes
the most imperative problem.
And the work is carried on on a
gigantic scale. The first task was to
free the state organization from its
superfluous ballast. In the times OF
compulsory labor and state rations,
everybody had to be given some kind
of work, If only nominal. State offices
were overcrowded with functionaries
who did very little, who could not do
much because they did not know how
and because the average vitality of
the population was 60 per cent below
normal. In the last two years the state
machinery has been undergoing a
vigorous cleaning. The incapable or
inactive had to go. The remaining
were given a living wage so they

my interlocutor is former mechanic
or a former student. Soviet life has
a leveling effect. Former workers
have acquired a great amount of in
formation. Former intellectuals are
losing their aloof air and their con-
seriousness Of being a chosen race.
Work of construction is bringing to-
gether all the live elements OF the
proletarian state.
Present Russia is a busy country
1 have discovered a monthly magazine
called System and Organization
This is characteristic. System and
Organization is the slogan. The Rus
sian worker, the Russian factory man
ager, the Russian builder, the Rus
sian state official, the Russian trade
union leader, the Russian collector OF
revenue, the Russian agriculturist, the
Russian public trader have to re
linquish the old sluggishness, the
llaxity, the work is no beast, 1t woni

deterioration, general misery and
hunger.
The present writer was in Russia
in 1920-21, and the impressions
that forced themselves upon him from
every direction, produce the picture
of a patient who recuperates after
dangerous sickness. When the con-
valescent is by nature vigorous fell
low with sound body and optimistic
mind, the sight is hopeful, indeed. A
country full of hopeful activity, this
is how one finds Russia in the spring
of 1924.
1t is, first of all, proIetarian coun-
try. Talk what you might about the
new economic policy. about the ap-
pearance OF the new bourgeois, about
his nefarious influence on the poor
bedevilled Russian simpletons, when
you are in Russia you know all this
is bunk. The Nepman is not leading
figure, he is an outcast. He is not az

proletarian state. What the Nepman's
activities are confined to is internal
trade of the more petty variety espe-
cially between city and village. Here
he is competing, and often successful
ly, with the government and cooper
alive stores, but his competition only
stimulates the state and public agen-
cies to more efficiency and better
adaptation to the peculiarities of the
market.
In the sum total of economic and
social life, the Nepman is of small
account. Nobody is afraid Of him, and
he himself is aware Of his subordinate
position. Life in general is dominated
by the workers in the cities, by the
peasantry in the villages. What you
see and what you come in contact
with on every step is government OF
workers, state and city officials them
selves former workers, conferences OF
workers, conventions Of peasants
