There Are Some Very
Remarkable Changes
BY EUGENE LYONS


UNITED Press staff Correspondent
Moscow. July 7.-UP)-Soviet
Russia appeared ready to-day to en-
ter new phase of its economic sys-
tenn, under the impetus of a pro-
nouncement by Joseph V. Stain, the
communist leader.
The communist control commit
tee,of which Satin Is the leading
spirit, met to-day and was expected
to elaborate on specific proposals to
make effective Stains viewpoint,
expressed in a speech on June 23.
The most striking phases of
Stains proposals, which Soviet Of
ficials said were chiefly important
because they summarized in con-
crete terms the policies which have
been developing in the last year, in
cluded such points as follows:
/. Reform of the credit system,
obliging every Soviet enterprise to
justify it's existence by earning
profits. Industry, he said, must yield
profit and begin to accumulate
wealth.
2. Greater wages for workers of
greater ability. instead Of a dead
level of recompense for all. making
wages accord with the work per-
would be available to skillful work.
ers, providing an incentive to eff
cheney. Efficient non-party workers
would cease to be Disseminated
against in favor of communists, and
members of the old intelligentsia
who show their value would no
longer be persecution. Wider
scope would be given to individual
initiative and peasants would be
drawn into industry.
3. The unwieldy trusts would be
abandoned and smaller. centralized
management of industries intrdouc-
ed.-Collective management would
give place to individual manage
ment. The five-day week would be
abandoned, where it interferes with
efficiency, and longer hours substi-
tuted.
Soviet officials expressed astonish-
ment that a portion of the foreign
press interpreted Stains pronounce
ment as a revolutionary alteration of
the Soviet system. They claimed
there was nothing in the speech to
alter the basic aim and principles
of the Soviet economic policy or the
five-year plan, but that 1t represents
far-rea ching effort to rationalize
prOductlOn.
Stains proposals, they said. were
intended to introduce sounder busi-
ness methods, firstly. through sim
plification of the structure and ad-
ministration of the state trusts
namely, reduction in their size and
abandonment of the commission
form of management; and secondly,
through stimulating personal incen-
tive opd a SonSa Of rpSOOnSibility in
the individual worker, opening the
path of advancement to better living
conditions for the most willing and
capable.
Soviet officials denied any com
promise with capitalism, but on the
contrary, the proposals were devised
to perfect the productive personnel
and technique to complete more
quickly the process of industrializa-
ton the basis of a real socialis:
state.

To-day's meeting was called by
Governor Joseph b. Ely of Massa-
chusetts for further consideration of
the New England railroad situation.
Among other things, the governors
discussed a poll taken by the New

iZations favored a merger of the
Boston & Maine and the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroads.
Following the session, the gov
errors made no reference to the poll
but it was announced that the meet
ing had adopted a second resolution,

"Resolved: That the New England
