The eminent British architects, Sir
TSdwin Iuytens, and his assistant.
Mr. Herbert Baker, in enlarging ana
rebuilding the greater portion OF the
Bank of England. are coming TO NfN
York and other American cities
within the month. Sir Edwin created
that marvellous new city OF DeIhI
with it's fairy capital and adjacent
structures. replicaS of which are
among the most attractive OF the
East Indian exhibit at the empire
exposition now in progress in Lon
don. The Bank of England. as
bank. dates from 1894 and continues
to he the hub of existence in the
British realm and pivot OF all It's
financial transactions. The building
in which it conducts vast business
dates from 1874, and the task of Sir
Edwin Luytens and Mr.. Baker was
to retain some of the exterior Ia
miliar lines while enlarging and
undermining the interior. The bank
asked to have the street on which
it faces, Princes street, widened at
the expense of the househo olders
rear gardens. and this required much
time and tact The City of London,
as it is still called as separate
corporation, is just one mile square.
and it is probably the most valuable
acreage in the world. The bank, or
as it is known, The Old Lady of
Threadneedle Street" is its pride
and chiSf ornament as the Houses
of Parliament are of the neighhorins
city of West minister. The enlargement
by the two architects has made it
possible to collect under one roof
the various branches which were
scattered all over the British Capt.
tai, and this feat was accomplished
by emulating New York and other
American cities and building up in
the air. High building had no
vogue in the middle 18th century,
and the old bank has been dwarfed
and rendered dark and damp by the
lofty structures which have gone up
all around it. The British archi-
tects have frequently been to this
country before.

OfCa Report Of 18Th Congress Of Russian Communist Party

tive of the Comintern.
The congress further declares that
the right deviations which Comrade
Radek-against the decisions of the
Russian Communist Party defends,
have nothing in common with the po-
litical line of the Russian Communist
Party.
The congress gives expression to its
full solidarity with the political line
which the Comintern has adopted in
the German, in the French and in the
English questions.
The resolution was adopted unani-
mously.
Speech Of Comrade KameneV.
The autumn crisis of the year 1928
has been followed by a considerable
increase in the turnover of goods,
which is to be attributed to the cur
rency reform The total amount of
money circulating within the union in
January, 1923, amounted to 1T mil
lion gold rubles, while it now amounts
to 445 million gold rubles. The cur
rency reform has been successfully
realized, but there is the possibility
of further difficulties which can be
overcome by means of a further re-
duction in the price of Industrial prod
ucts and by means of the most strin-
gent economy in the expenditure by
the state in all spheres. The Soviet
power will not revert to a policy of
imitation.
The chief task of the Soviet govern
ment in the sphere of home trade is
the strengthening of the co-operatives
by all possible means, the state regu-
lation of the market, as well as the
supplying of the peasants with cheap
goods. 1t is only by these measures
that the state and cooperative CAPT
tai will fight against private capital
which is prevailing in the retail trade.
The legal conditions regarding pri-
vate capital will be altered.
The autumn crisis arose from the
disparity between the pace of devel-
opment of the nationalized industry
and of the peasant economy, but not
from a lack of system as the opposi-
ton thinks. There exists the posi-
bility of crisis also in the future. In
such cases our chief task will consist
in ameliorating these crises as far as
possible.
Mass Consumption Necessary.
The development of big industry
must be adapted to the purchasing
power Of the peasant market. For
industry, mass consumption must be
brought about. By the reduction of
the deficit Of our budget we HAVEN
spite of the hopes Of our enemies
been able to realize the currency re-
form. The circulation of money has
doubled within five months. This fact
proves the rise of our economy and
the increase in the turnover of goods.
The present budget of two milliards
does not meet all zeqGiremenss.

states cannot claim: In the Soviet
Union sudden turns in the interior
policy are impossible.
The Soviet power must maintain
its commanding position in the sphere
Of trade. And this is possible by the
state monopoly of foreign trade, as
we'll as by means of a predominating
position of the nationalized industry
in the home trade. The Soviet will
lead the Soviet Union to economic
prosperity.
Speech Of comrade Krichanovsky.
The planned economy is the bridge
by means of which we are to pass
from capitalism to socialism. The
organization of trade and cooperation
are the decisive links in the unfold
ing of the new economic policy. The
commanding heights must be fortified.
AS keystones there must be set up
the sterilization Of the currency and
the laying down of correct line be-
tween industry and agriculture.
comrade Andreyev on Cooperation.
The Cooperative work must be
placed on a fresh basis. Cooperation
must be decentralized, the local CO.
operative organizations must be linked
up with the productive organs, the
role of the local organizations must
be increased, the passing over to the
voluntary principle must be achieved
more Tapidly, while the co-operatives
must sell cheaper than the private
dealer. The interests of the consum-
er must come first! More interest
and more initiative! Thousands of
the best party workers into the Co
Operatives! Cooperative construction
work is our fundamental task.

The ideas of Comrade Lenin on the
work in the villages form for us the

among the peasantry. The party or

therefore, may be called the
primary" election, with the
vote for the four candidates
standing as follows: Carlquist,

Reactionaries Suffer
Carlquist, the rankest reactionary,
was decisively defeated and eliminat-
ed. Soderberg also was eliminated,
and his supporters who used clannish
racial appeals to get the votes of the
Swedish tailors were deservedly re-
buked for the effort to divide the
workers upon racial lines when the
blazing issue is purely working class
the issue OF militant progressivism
against incompetent reaction at the
head of the union.

fact that Soderberg opened his cam

This progressive vote which went

July, voting taking place in the locals

depicts a husband who, when disaster
