THE FACTS.

As an illustration we will take the
budget of a working class family in
Leningrad based on the returns of
the Labor Statistics Bureau of the
Leningrad Trade Union Council.
The total expenditure for domestic
purposes has increased from 81 rub
les 81 kopeks in 1925 to 105 rubles
70 kopeks in 1926. Expenditure on
food has increased from SO rubles
76 kopeks in 1924 to 81 rubles 70
kopeks in 1926. Where is the OPP
POSITIONS "obvious deterioration in
the standard of living?"
In 1926 the expenditure on spirits
represented per cent of the domes-
tic budget or 83 kopeks per head
per month. 1t is true that the con-
sumption of spirits has risen from
IS kopeks per head in 1924 to 8S
kopeks per head in 1925. In 1926,
however, no increase in expenditure
on spirits was observed.

The Ward Line of New York-Ha-

United States Shipping Board in an
imperialist plan to drive rival Brit
ish Cunard liners from this part of
the seas, is settling down for a
fight of years. This became known
with the announcement that Ward
Co. had ordered two new, fast pas
senger vessels from the Newport
News Shipbuilding Co., to be fin
ished in 1880.
Counting on Victory.
They are to cost $10,000,000 and
will cut the Havana run from the
present ~ hours to less than 60
hours.
Franklin D. Mooney, president of
the Ward Line, said that faith in
the United States Government,
which recently awarded the line a
mail contract, under the provisions
of the Jones-White law, and the
growth of the Havana trade were
two of the reasons for the new
vessels"

The Wages of Russian Workers
Compared with French and
German Workers.

The considerable success achieved
by the Soviet state in the sphere of
wages will be seen by comparing the
real wages of the Russian worker
with those of the French and Ger
man workers.
In 1925-26 the real wages of the
Moscow worker Jagged behind those
of the Paris worker by 10 per cent
and of the Berlin worker by 20 per
cent. Previous to the war the real
wages of the German worker were
twice those of the Russian worker.
The five-year plan provides for a
rate of increase in wages which will,
by 1930-31 give the Russian worker
from 20 to 80 per cent more in real
wages than is received by the Ger
man and French workers.
The Working Class Share in the
National Income.
The wage workers share in the
national income increased from 1872
per cent in 1923-24 to 29.S per cent
in 1926, which indicates that the
economic position Of the working
class as compared with that of other
strata of the population has i'm
proved.

THE OPPOSITION ON THE
WORKERS BUDGET,

Calculated in real rubles, the
budget of the workers family has
decreased compared with 1924-25.
Increase in house rent makes it
necessary to sublet dwellings. The
unemployed, directly or indirectly,
are burden upon the budget of the
workers. The growing consumption
of spirits also tends to reduce the
budget of the worker. Taken as
whole, we have an obvious deterio-
