International proletarian revolution.
O. To conduct a peace policy to
form the center of the whole foreign
policy of the Soviet government and
to be at the basis of all its interna-
tional actions.
8. To carry on the economic recon
struction in such way that the Sow
let Union will develop from coun-
Try which imports machinery to a
country which produces machinery so
that in this way the Soviet Union en-
circled by capitalism will not become
economically dependent upon capitalist
world economy but will become an in
dependent economic unit building it.
self up socialistically and thanks to it's
economic construction a powerful
means to revolutionize the workers of
all countries and the suppressed peo-
pies of the colonial and half-colonial
countries. D.
4. AS far as possible to form eco
nomic reserves as guarantee for the
country in all accidents in the integ-
tal and external market.
5. To take all measures to con-
5olidate the defensive forces of the
ountry and to strengthen the Red
trmy, navy and air fleet.
Upon the field of, economic recon
truction the party. congress adopts
he feminist standpoint that the. Sow
ct Union as the land of the prolet-
fian dictatorship possesses every
ching necessary for the construction
ii complete socialist society" The
party congress considers that the
struggle for the victory Of the social
ist reconstruction of the Soviet I'm
ion is the chief task of the party.
The period since the 18th party con-
gress has proved in full the correct
ness of this principle The working
class of the Soviet Union in alliance
with the main mass of the peasantry
has achieved the first serious success
as in the work of socialist reconstruc-
ton, before the conquest of power by
the proletariat of other countries,
however, with its unqualified support,
without the so-called help on the part
Of foreign capital and in an unbroken
struggle against the internal private
capital. The past year brot with it
a stormy developments of the peoples
economy in general which approach
ed the pre-war level and showed
growths in its individual branches: In
dustry agriculture, transport, external
and internal commerce, banking and
credit system, state finance, etc. The
specific gravity Of socialist industry,
of the state and cooperative COM
merce, of nationalized credit, etc, is
growing in the peoples economy of
the Soviet Union which consists of
various economic forms, natural peas
ant economy, small commodity produc-
ton, private economic capitalism,
state capitalism andssocialism. In this
way the economic advance of the pro-
letariat upon the basis of the new eco
nomic policy and the advance of the
! economic system of7the Soviet Union
in the direction of socialism is taking
place. The socialist state industry is
becoming ever more the advance
guard of the peoples economy and
leading after 1t the whole peoples
economy. ~
THE party congress pointed outfhat
l. this success could not have been
obtained without the active partici-
patton of broad masses of the workers
in the general activity for the build
ing up of the socialist industry (the
campaigns for the raising of the pro
ductivity of labor, the productive
councils, etc..
At the same time, however, the spe-
cial contradictions of this growth and
the specific dangers and difficulties
caused by this growth are develop
ing. To these belong the absolute
growth of private capital. a phenome-
non which is bound with its relative
decrease, the special role of private
commercial capital which takes its
business into the village, the growth
Of the Kulak economy in the village
and the differentiation in the village,
the growth of new bourgeoisie in
the towns which strives to unite eco
nomically with the commercial CAPT
talist and Kulak economies in the
struggle for the subjugation OF the
main masses Of the middle peasant
economies. -
| HAVING regard 10 all these consi-
- derations, the party congress in
structs the central committee to be
guided by the following directives up
on the field Of its economic activity:
l. To pay chief attention to the
task OF securing the victory of the
socialist economic forms over private
capital, to strengthening the monopoly
of foreign commerce, to the growth OF
socialist state industry and the mob
ilization under its leadership and
with the help Of the co-operatives OF
the greatest possible masses OF the
peasant economies for the work OF
socialist reconstruction.
2. To secure the economic indie.
