Assistant Secretary Andrews. for

of customs, the coast guard and the
prohibition unit.
The arrangement, grouping the three
divisions of the treasury which have

BAN ON CAPITAL
LIFTED BY REDS
Soviet Admits Persecution
of Private Trade Nearly
Brought Ruin.

w.-Far-reaching decisions al
fecting the future economic policy OF
Russia were taken by the council OF
labor and defense. Finding complete
government control of trade and In
dustry was failure, the council meet
ing, of which Leo Kameneff, acting
premier, vas chairman, decided to IN
vite private capitalists to enter trade.
Presen restrictions regarding the
sale of goods to private concerns by
state trusts and cooperative organiza-
tions Will be removed and taxes on
private traders greatly reduced. II
introducing these reforms, which are
considered the most important since
the late Premier Nikolai Lenin inau-
gurated tie so-called new economic
policy, M Kameneff said
AT the. present juncture the trade
desert which exists in certain regions
of the Soviet union is more harmful
and dangerous to the economic struc-
ture of the socialistic state than pri-
vate capitalists"
1t was on the initiative of the. su-
prefne &c nomic council that the new
reforms are being introduced It IS
admitted now that the drastic cam
paign which was waged against pri-
vate trade virtually ruined Russia
internal trade, bringing the country
to the verge of economic crisis. M
Dzerjinsky, head of tie supreme eco
nomic council. was more outspoken IN
condemnation of the present attitude
toward private trade than was Kane
neff.
''The great aims before the govern
men," said M Dzerjinsky, force US
to admit that our previous economic
policy vas a mistaken one. Our source
of strength is in the very fact that we
are not afraid to admit our defects
