Spotlight With Coan,
Mile Star.
By HENRY M'LEMORE
United press stan Correspondent

NEW YORK, april 23.-There was
a time when the University Of
Pennsylvania relay carnival was
considered the outstanding track
and field meet Of the season.
Today the Penn event has a
serious competitor for that honor in
the Drake relays. The western
meet, although inaugurated after
the Penn affair, has reached such
heights that it now is considered the
equal of the Penn carnival.
Friday and Saturday, both of the
meets will be held Combined, they
will draw approximately 5000 ath-
letes from 1000 colleges and high
schools in the United States and
Canada. There will be a generous
sprinkling Of stars in each meet.
Outstanding in the thirty-seventh
renewal Of the Penn games will be
Barney Berlinger and Carl Coan,
considered as the two foremost track
and field stars ever turned out at
Pennsylvania. Coan is fayorite.
Berlinger, hailed as a second jim
Thorpe, is a heavy favorite to win
the decathlon. On the basis Of
his performances in practice this
spring, experts predict that he will
get new mark in high point scor-
ing for the ten-event affair.

Red Villages a T7ET THA6 Ra4H

Though the marketable grain
surplus of the state and collective
farms has not yet surpassed that
of the landowners and kulaks, yet
here also the relation between the
various class groups producing
grain is most striking. In 1918 a.
bout two-thirds of the total mar
ketable grain lie, that marketed
outside the village) came from the
big land owners and kulaks; In
1927 the kulak contributed about
one-fifth of the total marketable
grain; and this year the socialized
sector collective and state farms)
will provide more than half of all
the marketable grain.
This means that in this first
spring Of collective sowing, social
ist large-scale farming has equal
ed in sOwn area not only the large
scale farming of the kulaks but
even that of the pre-war landown-
ers, and has become the chief SUP.
plier Of the grain market. Large

scented by the big landowners es-

In other words, the example Of
the collective farm has been Great
ed; a collective farm wedge has
been driven into almost every dis
trict OF the consuming zone. An
organization has already been
formed there which will serve as
an example to the surrounding
peasants, which will. show. them
that a collective farm is a reality
and not simply a creation Of the
Bolshevik imagination. From this
institution win be drawn cadres

CONTINUED from last week)
One may also Judge the extent
OF this process from the average
size of collective farm in the
chief agricultural regions. Hence
forth we shall give all data ac-
cording to those districts into
which the General Committee of
the Party divided the U.S.S.R. on
the basis of the time allotted for
completing the collectivization of
agriculture. In the first zone
(the North Caucasus, excluding
the autonomous areas; the Mid
die Volga Region east of the
river; the Lower Volga Region.
excluding the Kalmyk and Astra-
khan districts; and the steppe dis
trict of the Ukraine) the average
size Of a collective farm has
reached 5000 acres; in the second
zone comprising the rest of the
grain-producing districts) the av-
craze size is 900 acres; and in the
third zone, the grain-consuming
belt, 292 acres. These figures do
not refer to an insignificant num-
Der, but to $1,000 farms, which
take in Counting winter and
spring crops but excluding state
farms) q per cent of the total
sown area of the country; and
(again excluding state farms) sc
per cent of the spring sown area,
or, together with the state farms,
20 per cent. Compare this with
the fact that in the United States
the number of farmers with more
than 500 acres was only 3.5 per
cent Of the total IN 1925 while in
Germany the number with over
$50 acres is only GA per cent OF
the total.
Such are the relative possibiIi-
ties of capitalism and socialism
N the organization Of large-sclea
farming.

size, used as the larger group

the collective farms, butchered all
their CO VS.. In the first zone,
where collectivization embraces
1880 of the peasant households,
the collective farm members pos
sess 1910 Of al 1.-THE LOWS; IN the
second zone, where 1850 of the
peasants are collectivized, they pos
sess 22.196 of the cows; in the
third zone, the $3.50 of the peas
ant households In the collective
farms possess over rs per cent of
all the cows. These figures in
clude both the cows that are So
cialized as the property of the COL
lective farms and those kept for
the individual use of the members.
In the face Of these facts what
can be said by those who sheer q.
bout the empty-handed peasants
who joined the collective farms 10
receive gifts from the soviet gov
eminent!
Certainly this does not mean the
collective farms were formed ex-
clusively with their own resources.
This would contradict Lenin's
! statement that ~every social order
originates only with the financial
support of a definite class"
The role Of the proletarian state
in this respect Is not small.
An analysis Of the basic capital
Of the collective farms shows that
they owe the state an amount e
quail to about two-fifths of their
basic capital. If it is kept in mind
that approximately half this in
debtedness is long term credit, ii
can be established that the share of
the state in the basic capital of
the collective farms amounts to
about one-fifth Of the total. To
this must be added the fact that
the resources of liquidated kulaks
constitute about 1870 Of the basic
capital of the collective farms; in

were justified and apologize 10
them for our accusations.
What are the actual facts? In
the first zone of collectivization
48.S per cent Of all the households
joined the collective farms, and
brought with them 49.2 per cent
of all the horses in that zone.
This, in spite of the fact that
there were more peasants without
horses among those who Joined
the collective farms than among
those who remained outside. What
will the upholders of the theory
that the peasants came into the
collective farms empty handed say
to that? In the second zone the
collective farms embrace 1850
of the peasants entering the col
lectives who brought with them
22.6 per cent of all the horses in
that zone. In the consuming zone
$3.50 of all the peasant households
have been collectivized, and these
farms have $3.50 of the horses.
If one takes into account the
fact that in the consuming zone
the proportiin Of peasants without
horses among the collective farm
members is especially large, that
the coIlsctives here have not yet
embraced the great mass of middle
peasants, then it will Be acknowl-
edged that / am justified in draw
ing this conclusion: the peasants
joining the collective farms have,
as a rule, brought their horses
with them. This hoes not mean
that there are Lot tens Of thous-
ands Of peasants who did kill
their HOSES. Bus it is not a mat
ter of tcns of thousands, but of
the great mass who Joined the col
lective ia-ms with serious intent
bringing their means Of production
with tnem.
Let Va see now what actually
happened with the cows. There
was above all m13n talk about
how the peasants, before entering

urement is changed; we used to
consider 35 to so acres large for
a kulak's farm; for a collective
farm it is already the smallest
size possible.
(Kulak literally means "fist."
The word has long since been
used in Russian idiom to denote
peasant who, through usury
and exploitation Of the poorest
peasant, has amassed sufficient
wealth to enable him to still
further exploit the poorer ele-
ment of the village.-Ed.)
To make still clearer what is
happening to farming in the US.
SIR, let US compare the role of
various class groups at three diff
ferent dates, pre-war, 1927, and
1880 with regard to the area sown
to grain and marketable surplus.
We find that the landlords and ku-
laks before the war sowed to grain
about STU million acres; the kulak
In 1927 sowed Is million; but in
the spring of 1880, the first spring
of mass collective sowing, we
have In the sociaHzed sector about
87h million acres sown to grain,
as a result Of the uniting of six
million peasant families in collec-
tive farms. It follows that in
this first spring of mass collective
farm sowing, the grain area of
the state and collective farms has
equaled the pre-war area sown by
the big land owners and the kulaks
and more than tripled the area
sown three years ago by the ku-
laks.
In 1880 collective farms alone
sOwed 106 million acres while
In 1881 the program called for
100 million acres, most of il TO
grain. In addition, the State
Grain Trust farms are sowing
IL million acres and other state
farms additional acreages Of IN
dustrial and sther CROPS.
