The following speech was made by
Boris e. Skvirsky, head Of the Rus
sian Information Bureau, Washington,
D. c., at gathering in Chicago, OF
the American Rambouillet Sheep
Breeders Association, which celebra-
ted the purchase by the Soviet Union
of S25O,O0O worth Of the finest Ram
bouillet sheep to be used for breeding
purposes in the Soviet Union;
"Mr. President, Ladies and Gentle
men: AS citizen of the Soviet
Union and one who for four years
since his arrival in this country, has
been trying to assist in the develop
ing of trade relations and in the stab
fishing of a mutual understanding
between the two great countries, !
wish to thank the organizers of this
brilliant banquet and all those pres
ent for such an eloquent expression
of friendliness towards the people of
the Soviet Union
Il wish also to thank the Rambouil-
let Sheep Breeders Association and
their officers for the kind assistance
given to the Representatives of Soviet
agriculture while in this country pur-
chasing pure-breed sheep. 1t is a
great pleasure to me to be in a posi-
ton to assure you of the reciprocity
of feelings toward the great Amer
lean nation on the part of the people
Of our union. There is no doubt that
these friendly feelings will grow and
will assist in the further development
of trade relations between the two
countries.
1.-THE resources of America are de-
veloped. Those of Russia have hard
ly been touched. American agricul-
ture and industries have much to Of
fer to the Soviet Union. which is
willing to be one of the best of Am
erica's customers.
Rapid Development Assured.
as rapid development assured to
the Soviet Union? The union has the
resources, it has a population still
larger than that of the United States.
The energy of this population has
been freed. A great local market is
assured. It is not required to be
prophet to predict a speedy and re-
markable development of the Soviet
Union within a short time. This is
being substantiated by the pace of

roads may be judged from the fact
that 1872 railway bridges with q.
total length Of forty-eight miles were
destroyed during the civil war and
had to be rebuilt. 1880 miles of road
bed have also been rebuilt. The Rus
sian railroads have already been de-
ficitless this year and some profit is
already expected during the next
year Production in the oil industry
IS about seventy-fve per cent Of pre-
war, but oil exports during the first
nine months of the current fiscal year
were about thirty per cent greater
than in 1918. The Soviet oil industry
has been electrified to an extent of
about ninety to ninty-five per cent,
but before the war only steam had
been used. The electriication of the
oil industry is an achievement of the
asst few years.
'The textile industry has practical
reached seventy-five per cent of
re pre-war production and is very
apidly moving ahead Intensive work
3 being carried out in the installa-
ion of new machinery and building
If new mills. 1t is expected that with
ten or twelve months the industry
will surpass the pre-war output. This
means that American cotton is going
o find its way into the Soviet Union
S heretofore.
Metal Industry Suffered Most.
i'The slowest to develop was the
metal industry, as it suffered most
rom the destruction during the per-
iod of civil war and foreign interven-
ton. During the fiscal year 1924
the output was only about twenty-five
per cent of pre-war. This last year it
has been already fifty per cent, and
the program for 1885 calls for pro-
duction of nearly one hundred per
cent of pre-war
Productivity of labor in general is
growing rapidly. The building of
power plants is carried out success
fully and about one hundred million
dollars have already been spent.
Currency Recovered.
The recovery of Soviet finances
has been astonishing. OF various Eu-
ropean eurrencies the Soviet was the
first to be completely restored. The
money is very stable. The Soviet
monetary unit, the 'chervonetz' the
par value of which is five dollars and
fourteen cents, has been quoted for
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-12-30

the last eighteen months mostly
above par, No paper money is being
issued for the purposes of the budget
and the growth of the Soviet budget
may be judged from the following
figures: In 1918 it was 3,500,000,000
gold rubles; in 1922-z5 1t fell to one
and one-third billion gold rubles, and
the budget for the current fiscal year
is alreay above three and three
quarter billion gold rubles, that is al
ready above pre-war. Where does the
money come from? From direct and
indirect taxation and profits from the
industries Where does the money
go? In the Czarist budget only five
and nine-tenths per cent were expend-
ed for education and public health
while the current budget provides
eleven per cent. And this is only the
beginning tits the hope of the union
to have this percentage increased
from year to Year. The government
devotes large sums to the restoration
and development of industries and
agriculture trAccording to the agri-
cultural law Of last year. the single
agricultural tax just one tax which
the farmers pay in the Soviet Union
this tax has been reduced last year
from four hundred million gold rubles
to only 240,OOO,O0O gold rubles, to only
10000 900. II you consider that the
Soviet Union has 22,O0O,OOO farm
holds, you will easily come to the
conclusion That the taxation Is very
low There is no doubt that the So
Wet village will get much more from
the government than it pays to 1t.
Cut Military Appropriations.
1.-THE appropriation for the army
and navy was less than half OF pre-
war and the Soviet Union which has
reduced It's army from five millions
to half million would be willing to
support the most sweeping universal
disarmament proposal Here is
cause in which Russian-American CO
operation would be greatly welcomed.
Foreign Trade increases.
Foreign trade for the last year
amounted to over $664,000,000 COM
pared with s4S5,0O0, 900 Of the pre-
ceing year and $1,350000,O00 before
the war. The turnover for this year
was thirty-three per cent above the
previous year and stands at nearly
fifty per cent of the pre-war volume.
Imports for the year were $4,000. 900

BY J. E. SNYDER.

A farmer who raises principally cot
ton, near the border of eastern Okla
homa, and belongs to the Farmers
Union in Green County, Arkansas, in
writing to The National Farmers
Magazine, exposes the landlord sys-
tenn of that section. He says: "The
bulk of the best cotton land is owned
by few men, and great many of
them are cotton buyers who want TO
take the cotton from the tenant as
soon as it is gathered and the tenant
or he has got to get off their farms.
has to let them have ii at their bid,
It does not matter how honest or
how good tenant farmer is, these
things happen here in my county.
These landlords say it would be al
right If we just had business men to
manage our cooperative business"
A western farm leader had this to
say in the same magazine: From
all indications this will be the hard
est year since deflation. Farmers
are hanging on by their eyebrows
and it is evident that the homes OF
tens of thousands, which six years
ago were considered safe from the
clutches of 'Shylock,' are now hope
lessly lost. Since agriculture with
out organization is absolutely down
and out, the courts and collecting
agencies are reaping rich harvests.
Those who are being evicted are talk
ing revolution and all this under a
full dinner pail administration"

For instance, on the outskirts Of Xiii

Government by Feudal Landlords,
On the other hand, the government
of Sabkhibey Birikot proposes issuing
a decree for the confscation Of all
property Of the revolutionaries. The.
government of Subkhibey is the gov

whose interests coincide with those Of
the French troops. He therefore wish

fendi and inteIlectuals, who are now
at the head Of the insurrection.
The rising in Syria has not yet been
suppressed. The country has only
been temporarily weakened. A short
time is required to heal the wounds.
In this respect all efforts must be
strained for the organization OF inter
national class solidarity thru Inter

lutionary forces will gather once more

the foreign powers in general is grow

Then the socialist General Sar-

The soldiers on the punitive B. expe-

reigned. Young children and women
were violated and then killed. Entire
villages such as, Muliashl, Rabeul,

The plunderers sold their loot at the
bazaars. This eventually got beyond
the patience of the population.
