Tor an improvement IN the economic
conditions of the workers, and who
pointed out that this economic i'm
provement was bound to come, were
right. The promises which were made
are being realized Wages in 1885
are making a stride forward although
the average output is almost the same
as before. In 1925-26 the proletariat
of the Soviet Union reaps the fruit of
it's efforts in 192425. Secondly it is
a significant fact that wage increases
in the Soviet Union are coinciding
with a fierce attack on the proletariat
in the capitalist countries in the di-
rectior of lower wages. Russian min
ers had added to every ruble another
real 35 copeks, ailwayment-more
than so copeks. British miners, Ger
man textile workers and many other
categories of workers are faced with
the prospect of lower wages than in
1924. Such is the sterilization of cap
italism.
In conclusion, few figures con-.
corning housing. The housing ques-
ton in the Soviet Union is very acute,
for seven years of war and the growth
of the population in large centres ex-
ceedpg prewar level have created
great disproportion in supply and de-
mand with respect to housing accomo-
dation. The proposed housing expen.
diture for 1925-26 is $4,000, 900 rubles.
Out of this sum 100000, 900 rubles are
for house repairs, 1OO,OOO,OOO rubles
for the prevention of the further
dillapidation of houses and 10000 900
rub'es for the construction of new
houses in lieu of those which have
become uninhabitable, and los, 900, 900
rubies for new houses to cope with
the growth of the population.
6. Capital Expenditure.
THE year 1885 we shall witness
4 the complete re-establishment and
further growth of the basic capital of
our industries. (Benches, machinery,
buildings, etc.,. Capital expenditure
will, of course, take place in those
branches of industry where progress
is most rapid; the metal industry, the
eleStto ltechhicai" Industry, etc. The
proposed expenditure will amount to
nearly billion rubles. (970,OOO,00), out
Of which two-thirds (646,OOO,OOO) on
new works. The branches of industry
which will require the largest amounts
are the metal industry (1S2,000, 900
rubles) the textile industry (145,0OO,-
O0O) the oil industry G16,O0O,0O0 and
electrifcation work 100000, O0O). The
sources from which these expenses
are to be covered are as follows: the
industries themselves can provide
466,O00,000 million ii. e. almost one
half of the total amount). 1913, 5000 900
can come from the state budget and
271,00O,000 ruhles will be obtained by
means of long-term credits.
z. Financial Problems Money circua
ton, Credit Budeet).
THE accumulation of money grew
L very rapidly after the Introduction
of N. E. p, as this was accompanied
by complete change of our economy.

rubles in 192425. Thus the increase
will be $50.
The payment balance which will
amount to 15O.OOOOOO rubles will go
to the accumulation of valuta funds,
and to increase the current accounts
of the State Bank in foreign banks
The enormous growth in exports
and imports shows that great progress
has been made in the direction of the
establishment of economic relations
between the Soviet Union and foreign
states. The Soviet Union appears in
the role of an exporter and importer
on large scale The purchases and
sales of the Soviet Union will be a
determining factor in the economic
life of a number Of countries.
5. Productivity Of Labor, Wages and
Housing. iae 7ss
THE sociaIdemocratic. penny-a-lin-
1 ers have been and are still raising
a hue and cry about the process of
dispersal among the proletariat of
Soviet Russia, the exploitation of the
workers, etc. etc. Figures give the
lie to this fiction. In 1885 the num-
Der of workers will increase by more
than quarter of million, over 2O9o
With respect to the growth of output,
the prospects are as follows: output
will increase 1919 Tin 1924-25 31%),
and as it is proposed to lower prices
also 1919, the value of the workers
output will be on the same level as in
the previous year. Just the opposite
will be the case with wages. Wages
show great stride forward, especially
in heavy industry. For instance, wages
in the metal industry will increase
1870, in the mining industry 800. The
growth of the real wage will be
greater still, because of lower prices
for all produce flor the metal indus
try, this growth would be equal to
1920, and for the mining industry to
$500. For industry as a whole the
increase of the nominal wage will be
1879 (the increase takes also into con-
sideration the rent increase, which
will take place in 1925-26 in view of
necessary repairs and the extension.
Of housing. accommodation and of the.
real wage almost 2Oa6. This will mean
wage increase up to the prewar
level. Qn 1924-25 the increase was
1870 of the prewar leveD. But if we
compare the total production and
wages and see that in 1885 the
wages percentage in production as
whole will exceed the prewar level.
(14.5% and 1920.
In bringing to a conclusion this
review of wages, it should be men,
toned that the year 1885 will be
particularly auspicous for the trans
port workers whose wages were lower
than those of all the other categories
of workers. In 1925-26 their wage will
increase 1870.
The aforementioned figures show
primarily two things:
/. That the Soviet government and
the Communist Party, who last year
carried on campaign for increased
productivity of labor as a prerequisite
--------------- --
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-11-28

But in 1925-26 the accumulation Of
money will be almost double: it will
increase from S90,00O,OO0 rubles to
1,5SO,OOO,0OO rubles. Current accounts
will also be doubled Thus in 1924-25
deposits and current accounts amount
ed on an average to 100000 rubles,
and in the coming year they win
amount 1,733,O6O,OOO rubles. Discount
and 'oan operations will also be
doubled (from 1,426,00O,OO0 to $780,.
100000 rubles) 1@
The growth of the budget in i925-2S
will be considerable. In commodity
rubles it will increase from 1887 ,O0O,-
600 to 3,242, 100000 rubles, /. e. 459S.
AS compared with 1918 the budget OF
1925-26 will amount to 1867. 1t is
Characteristic that also in the coming
year the growth of the budget win be
greater than the growth of Wholesale
production and trade.
Economy Of the Soviet Union.
THUS, the figures given above are
i a definite answer to the question
II Soviet economy is progressing BuL
there is one more question ~ Is this,
progress in the direction of socialism
or does our economy on the contrary,
revert to capitalist methods?
1t is figures again which will give
us an objective answer. At the be-
ginning of 1924-25 of the ready money
in tn ecountry Ill million rubles be-
longed to the state and to private
enterprises, mainly peasant home
steads 100000 rubles and to cooper
atives 100000 rubles. This means that
500 were socialized. i. e. more than
half. In the villages this specialization
was very small, AZ, but in the towns
it reached $40, the specialization Of
means of production amounting to
$3.50 as to the total production of the
heavy and light industries, We witness
the following process:

Very Characteristic is also the growth
of the concentration of industry, as
compared with the prewar period.
$50 of the workers of the entire
mining and manufacturing industries
work in enterprises which employed
over 500 workers in 1911. On January
3rd, 1925 the percentage was $3.50, i.
e. more than two-thirds. Another in
teresting fact is that whilst in Amer.
lea the average number of workers
for one enterprise is ISL, it is 239 in
the Soviet Union. Such is the material
basis of socialism.

commerce. The following table gives
an Illustration of this:

growth of its relative role. In 1924

market, in 1885 it's influence will

The commission of non-party uni
versity economists concludes its re-
port by the following statement: if we
add to everything that has been said
that with respect to steam transport
and bank credit, all the means of
communication and circulation Of
money and credit notes are already
socialized in our country to the full
hundred per cent all that remains to
be done is to formulate the general
task; to maintain firmly the prewar
position and to advance steadily every
year, even if it were only one step
towards socialism wherever the econ
omic situation permits.
Such are the prospects of the ma
tional economy of the Soviet Union.
Slow but sure progress towards social
ism. Real socialism, not socialism in

SOVIET WARNS
BRITISH THEY
PLAY WITH FIRE
"Cut of the Hand" of
New War, Says Prada

Especial TO The Daily Worker)
MOSCOW, July 17.-An editorial in
the Pravda replies to attacks upon
Russia by the English conservative
press by warning the mllItarlst wing
of the conservative party that they
"are playing with fire."
It accuses Britain Of carrying on
intrIeues against Russia In every
country and trying to organize a
united front against Russia and holds
British diplomacy responsible for
nearly every InImicaI action against
Russia by the great powers In the
border states and the Balkans.
New War And Blockade.
The Pravda says information has
reached the Soviet government that
the British ambassador to France has
proposed to BRAND joint break with
Russia and an immediate blockade
which would be guaranteed by the
British fleet in the Baltic and Black
Seas and on land by Poland, Czecho-
Slovakia, Latvia, Rumania and Es-
thonia.
Whether this is ordinary blackmail,
says the Pravda, or should be re-
garded as confirmation Of rumors of
a big plot against Russia, 1--WE are not
going to yield to blackmail.
IF attacked, we shall repulse the
foe in such a manner that the incen-
diaries won't derive any benefit"
Cut of the Hand That Touches
Russia!
The Pravda calls upon the work
men and peasants to watch events,
and adds:
Thanks to the capitalists, a con-
fiagrative blaze may suddenly des-
cend upon the laboring masses, who
should be ready to cut off the criminal
hand which set out to instingate the
new adventure"

Malone was greeted with ten-minute
demonstration when he finished.
Defense Wins One Victory.
In his ruling, Judge Raulston held
that the only question involved was
whether Scopes taught a theory which
denied the divine creation of man and
that no experts" were needed to shed
light on it.
The session opened this morning
with prayers as usual, and then came
the courts ruling. Later, when de-
tense attorneys were Directing to the
decision, the court announced that if
he found he had made a mistake, af-
ter reading the testimony of the scien-
fists, he would reverse himself.
Cannot Cross Examine Scientists.
After another clash between coun-
sci the defense won a second minor
victory when the court refused. the
states appeal for the right to cross
examine the witnesses. An agreement
then was entered for adjournment of
court until Monday, while the scien-
lists hurried away to "the mansion"
on knoll overlooking Dayton to pre-
pare their excluded testimony.
This strange procedure was taken
first to preserve the record on the
appeal to high jurisdiction, and Sec
ond, that the scientific theories on
the origin of man might not leak" in
to the jury's ears. 1t was done with
frequent clashes and after Clarence
Dartow,' ranking defense counsel, had
openly charged the court with favor
ing the prosecution.
When that occurred, an ominous ST.
lence spread thru the court room. The
spectators leaned forward in their
seats, but the bull dog" criminal
| lawyer from Chicago never flinched.

The judges ruling had outraged de-
tense attorneys. First, Arthur Gar

and lastly, Darrow himself had attack
ed the decision. barrow was mad.
Swapping his suspenders, the Chica-
goan growled:
1T is strange that the court has
sustained every motion made by the
state and overruled every motion by
the defense"
The court room was shocked. The
states attorneys were amazed. The
judge stood facing Darrow, uncertain
what to do.
Does the attorney intend to reflect
on the court?" Raulston, asked in a
low tone.
HE has the right to decide that"
snapped Darrow, looking the Judge in
the eye.
