The transition is a painful process, Russian leaders admit.
 The so-callcd "kulaks,' or we'll to-do farmers. are set down as "encmics' of the masses, and are denied the shelter afforded by mem- hcrship in the co-opcratiNes. So they arc being "Iiquidated." Their numbcr is between 5,O0O.0OO and S,ooo,o0o, and their disposition offers.no small problem 10 the gov crnment.
 This class is to be uprootod and driven into other lines of work
 Hundreds oT thousands of these kulaks already have been deprived summarily of their land, cattle and homes, and expelled from their native districts. Some of those who have opposed the rigorous measures instituted for their suppression may have been executed as an example to the others.
 The pressure on purely cultural clements is stronger, Press ccnsor- ship has grown more rigid. And people generally are more hacgard, more worried about inc future, than they wore q year ago. when this writer first arrived here.

 The great masses of peasant farm CTS, too, are being placed under the control and at the disposition of the state. The original plan Of the Moscow leaders was that by 1888, 'socialized farming would com prise 2G per cent of the total agri- cultural activities in the union.
 In other wards, private farming simply will be abolished. just as pri- vatc trading has been abolished.
