ment in industrial phases Of Soviet
Russia; nearly every department of
the government and of the trade
unions Of the country are occupied
with the problems of industry and
commerce. The revolutionists of old
en- times as well as the new people
that are working within the Soviets
are planning how to make the factor
les and shops and the field yield more
products.
/ met comrades that were active in
the underground movement of Russia,
comrades that were deported from
America, some of them were active
trade union leaders here, some of
them that went just to visit Russia
and l found them all interested now
in only one thing, that is, to bring
Soviet Russia to the stage Of great
and wealthy industrial productive
country. Lenin, the great teacher of
Communism, paid attention to all
phases of industrial development and
Frotsky in his book on Literature and
Revolution says that only when the
ovens in the houses are hot and the
wheels of industry are revolving, we
can speak of culture SO Soviet Russia
is working feverishly in the line of
building up its industries.

of the peasant life as well as the
country as a whole. We must bear
in mind that five-sixths of the popu-
lation of Soviet Russia are peasants.
The village was not wholly destroyed
by Intervention and blockade as the
industry in the city because agricul-
ture decays slowly but is also build
ing up itself slowly and if the village
in Russia remains destroyed the in
dustries of Russia will not find mar
ket for its wares, therefore, the motto
Build the Village" and now the ac-
compliments are rs per cent of the
pre-War condition. The village is ad-
ajusting itself to the new conditions
Of the Soviet government; the peas
ant feels that he is an equal citizen
and the economic improvement of the
whole country is in his interest and
therefore he is assisting the govern
ment of Soviet Russia in the indus
trial development of the country.
In 1923-1924 the export of agricul-
tGral products were in million rubles
grain products. 232,O0O.0OO rubles, 50
per cent; products of technical growth
and intensive culture q little over
35.0O0,000 rubles, which makes 10 per
cent; cattle and poultry over 1S,OOO,-
900 rubles. per cent.
IN 1924-1925 the export of agricul-
L tural products were: prain prod
ucts. 1O5,000,0O0 rubles, fl per cent;
products of technical growth and in
tensiye culture, 100000 rubles, 2S
per cent; cattle and poultry, 10000
900 over 20 per cent which shows that
the village is adapting itself to the
higher kind of export possibilities.
The Soviet government is taking
into consideration that the export of
live cattle and poultry and raw tech
nical and intensive products are very
costly in regard to transportation and
competition in the foreign markets
and therefore is working out a pro-
gram of establishing cold storages, re-
frigerators, and an industry to enable
the villages to produce bacon and ham
and export these products to the for
eign markets and receive a higher
compensation. Also, to establish
sugar factories near the villages that,
at lesat half products in the form of
brown sugar should be transported to
the cities. In former times, the sugar
factories were established only on the
rich farms Of the land owners; now,
the Soviet government is bringing in
dustry close to the villages. Also,
the textile industries are brot closer
to the peasant in the form of estab-
