3. The relative positions OF the
state and private enterprises in the
marketable part of the total agricul-
tural and industrial production has
changed as follows; In 1923-1924 the
share of the state enterprises in the
marketable part of the production was
39,4 per cent, and that of private en-
terprises was 57.2 per cent. In 1926
1926 the share of the state increas-
ed to 49.3 per cent, while the share
of private producers fell off to 46.9
per cent. The share of the co-opera-
tives was "a per cent in 192S-1924,
and 3.S per cent in 1925-1926.
4. In 192S-1924, state organizations
controlled 81 per cent of the internal
trade, the co-operatives-2S.2 per cent,
and private traders-40.S per cent. In
1925-1926 the share OF private traders
in the total internal trade turnover
was only "a per cent, while that Of
the state increased to IS per
cent and that of the co-operatves to
AZ per cent.
5. Outside Of agriculture, industry,
and internal trade, there are a num-
Der Of economic functions which are
entirely in the hands of the state.
Such are the transportation system,
the postal, telegraph and telephone
system, electric power plants, foreign
trade, the banking and credit system,
etc.
6. The socialist elements of econo-
my are making inroads into the field
Of agriculture thru the growth of the
agricultural cooperative system. The

number of agricultural cooperative
societies in the Soviet Union, outside
of the Ukraine, has grown from 25,-
$40 with 2,056,0Q0 members on 90
tober 1, 1924, to $500 with 5,94s, 400
members at the end Of the fiscal year
1925-1926. An increasingly important
factor in the collectivization Of agri-
cultural production has been the
growing use Of motor power in agrt-
culture TRACTORS and other modern
agricultural machinery.
z. The number of members OF con-
sumers' co-operatiYes has increased
from 7,129,SO0 in 1924, to 1885, 800 in
1926. The number of peasants organ
lied in consumers Go-operatives In
the Soviet Union, outside OF thu
Ukraine, in 1926 was 6,434,O0o.
8. Out of the total capital assets
Of the country, the Soviet state con-
trolls 55 per cent, while only A per
cent OF the assets are in private
hands The co-operatives hold per
cent of the capital wealth Of tho
country.
Thus, in addition to the growing
relative Importance Of the socialist
elements Of the national economy, the
proletarian state wields a tremendous
economic power which is consciously
directed toward the building up Of q
socialist economic system. The eco
nomic development OF the Soviet Uh-
ion is clearly determined by the ten
dency manifested in the past years Of
construction Is toward socialism.

The Red Poet
BY ADOLF WOLFF.

I'd rather fashion jingles
To help the workers cause
Than ooze poetic opium
For the bourgeoisie's applause
My source Of inspiration
Is not a woman's eyes
But crimson Revolution,
That all tyranny defies.
No languid lisping verses
For elevated browsl
Like hammer blows of rebels,
Like deeply cutting plows.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-11-06
To Eugene Victor Debs

The beat of his heart no longer drums
The drum of his mortal cloak;
The words of his mouth are now still crumbs
That only grim death can choke.
The flame of his life is now died out
But in its red-roaring life
. To all who are men it hurled shout:
Prepare for coming strife
Now that the grave has taken its toll
OF flesh that has fought our wrongs,
Let's kindIe in us the flame of his soul
With fighting and with red songs.

Building a Socialist Economy

age wage Of workers in terms Of
money already almost equals the pre-
war wage. And, considering the ma
terial and cultural advantages placed
at the disposal Of the workers in the
Soviet Union, actual wages and the
standard Of living are considerably
higher than ever before the war
LNAILING in their predictions as to
l the Imminent collapse" of the
Soviet economic system, the protag-
onists of capitalism are now eager to
ascribe the economic growth of the
Soviet Union to the adoption of "capi-
talist methods" There is much talk
about the Soviet government "surren-
dering its Communist principles" and
returning to the policy of bourgeois
common sense"
However, the facts attending the
economic development OF the Soviet
Union belle the present venomous
praise" of bourgeois economists, just
as the economic progress of the coun-
try belied their earlier jibes and pre-
dictions.
The economic system of the Soviet
Union at present represents both the
elements Of socialism and certain
forms of capitalist relations. The
basis of the socialist economy are the
state industries and enterprises, while
the capitalist forms OF economy pre-
vail in agriculture which is based on
Individual production. Since both
these basically contradictory elements
/ are parts of one economic organism,
they necessarily tend to influence and
shape each other. Accordingly, the
economic policy Of the Communist
Party of the Soviet Union has been
determined by the task of attaining
the cooperation of the two opposing
economic factors for the sake of the
economic development of the coun-
try while, at the same time, insuring
the growing influence of the socialist
elements in the economic system. To
what extent the Soviet government
has succeeded in this task may be
seen from few fundamental facts
and figures illustrating the inter-rela
ton of the two forces in the econC
mic development of the country dur
ing the past years.
1. Agricultural production amount
ed, In pre-war prices, to S,S58, 00O, 00t
rubles in the economic year 1923-1924
and to 1906, 100000 rubles in 1925-1926
showing an increase of 27.7 per cent
The output of ting industries wa:
valued at S,414,00O,00O rubles in 1928
: 1924, and 6,92S,O00 rubles in 1925-1926
showing an increase of nearly 1913 pc
cent Which means that industry
the basis of the socialist economi,
: elements, has grown at a rate almos
| four times as fast as agriculture.
: 2. The total production of privat,
enterprises, both agricultural and in
: dustrial, was 1857 100000 rubles in
1924, and 11,S49, 1000, 900 rubles in 1926
; l1925-192e. A growth of 81 per cent. The
production OF state enterprises wa

BY 7. LEON.

THAT the Soviet Union has made
\ marked progress toward its eco
nomic reconstruction Is fact which
is no more questioned. That much is
conceded not only by so-called Tim
PARTIAL bourgeois observers, but the
worst enemies Of the Soviet govern
ment are now forced to admit that all
their predictions and black prophecies
regarding the economic future Of the
Soviet Union-pTophecies which only
too frequently have been supported by
active interference-have failed to
materialize.
The Soviet Union enters the tenth
year of its existence with the produc-
tive output of material values Of the
country practically brought UP to the
pre-war level. In the year just pass
ed, agricultural production stood at
about 80 per cent Of the pre-war, and
industrial production was brought up
to about 95 per cent of the pre-war.
During this year industrial output was
increased by AZ per cent over the
preceding year. According to con-
sentative estimates based on the pro-
ducing capacity and actual financial
and technical means of Industrial
plants both now operating and in the
process Of construction, the output
during the ensuing year will increase
Is per cent and the pre-war level will
thus be surpassed.
This achievement OF the Soviet
Union in the economic field has not
been rivalled by any other of the Eu-
ropean countries which had been en-
gagged in the world war, notwithstand-
ing the fact that they had eight years
OF peace-time development while the
Soviet Union, for three years after the
termination of the world war, has
been engaged in a fierce and devast-
ating civil war followed by the fam
Inc, and not before 1922 was the coun-
try in position to start on economic
reconstruction. In only four years
the Soviet Union has completed the
work of reconstruction, task which
1t took other European countries eight
years to perform only in part, since
most of these countries are still con
siderably behind their pre-war econo
mic status.
A further comparison Of the roads
travelled toward economic reconstruc
ton By the bourgeois nations of Eu
rope and by the Soviet Union would
bring out some more striking facts.
The former, like the nice little
bourgeois darlings that they were
have been aided along continually By
American capital which has beer
anxious to stare off ''the tide of Boil
shevism" and to reap some substan
tial economic advantages in the pro
cess. Bourgeois Europe was. enabled
to attain some degree of "stabiliza
ton" only with the assistance o
heavy loans and investments "gener
ously" showered upon it by American
capital-and at the expense of it
economic independence, at the ex
pense of the laboring masses, at tn,
cost OF materially lowering the livini
standard of the workers Of Europe.
The Soviet Union accomplished it
economic reconstruction not onl,
without any outside assistance Blu

In accordance with its purpose in
this respect the Washington Real
Estate Board has offered opportuni-
les for education and training. This
opportunity has been presented in
hrce ways. First. in the establish
ment of a course through the local

John \. Petty. formerly executive
,ecretary of the Washington Real

discussions which We're of interest to

give them certain principles and

\ course under the direction of Mr..
Petty was also conducted at the y.

who were engaged in the real estate
business, as employees and statesmen,
which course was designed to give
them n knowledge of principles and
a training of a technical nature. This
course was particularly attractive
and desirable for the reason that 1t
better fitted these students to per-
form more competently their daily
tasks and to bring about a greater
measure of protection to the public
with which they were required TO

Another feature of the work of the
board of an educational character is
the realtors forum. which consists of
weekly meetings held at the Ward
man Park Hotel. to which are in
Nited all the members of the board
and their guests. At these meetings
topics Of general interest in the real
estate profession, civic improvement
and Give betterment are discussed by
leading city officials, business men
and experts and followed by a round
table discussion on the part of those
present.
