Ject introduce no new principle The fact that
Soviet industries must work on a margin of
return Is not in violation to the tenets of SO.
clahsm. What is the significance of this prob
lem? Tho Soviet Union has to build UP its in
dustries without the assistance of foreign capi-
tai. Everyone knows that the construction of
industries in capitalist countries was never
carried out without loans. typical example
is offered by the building up of the German coal
mining industry in the Ruhr district during the
last century which took place with the asss~
lance OF British capital or the reconstruction
of German industry in the postwar period with
the assistance of American capital During the
course of the development of Soviet industry
whose capital accrued mainly from the light in
dustries, from agriculture and from budgetary
accumulation tendencies arose to ignore the
principle Of showing return IN the heavy in
dustrieS In this connection Comrade Stain
declared that the Soviet economic system as
whole and in particular the heavy industries
must be conducted on paying lines and that the
costs Of production must be lowered in order to
open up new sources of capital accumulation to
serve exclusively the work of socialist construc-
ton and the improvement Of the standards Of
the population
1t is clear that this also has nothing to do
with any return to capitalism.
6. The Possibilities of an Armed Intervention
Comrade Stain pointed out in his speech that
one Of the chief reasons for the theological
change in the ranks of the old bourgeois tech
meal intelligenzia was the fact that its hopes
for an intervention on the part of the imper-
ialist powers had not been realized The Off
cial organ of the German Social Democratic
Party turns this statement Of Comrade Stain
into an admission that the fears of an inter-
vention were unfounded." This Justification Of
the social democratic "Vorwaerts" is OF course
in complete accordance with the line of the
Second Labor and Socialst) International
which seeks to convince the masses of the
workers that the capitalist countries harbour
no hostile intentions of any sort against the So
Wet Union. 1t is clear that there can be no
question of any dinninution OF the danger Of in
tervention; on the contrary at the moment this
danger MS become more acute result OF
American Intervention In Europe (the Hoover
plan).
!. Concluding Remarks.
To sum up: Stains speech contains nothing
which can truthfully be interpreted as an aban.
donment Of Communism or return to capi-
talist methods What the speech actually does
is to place certain tasks in the foreground Of the
socialist constructive work, tasks which were al.
ways present for discussion and realization in
one form another, such as, the organization
Of the industrial labor supply the mechanics
ton Of the labor process and particularly OF
heavy work Coal mining, foundry work and lum.
bering), the abolition of labor fuctuation BY q
correct wage tariff mot by the abolition Of q
nonresident wage equality and by the i'm
provement of the material and cultural condi-
lions OF the working masses. the creation OF a
working class technical intelligenzia including
the appointment of non-Party workers to re-
sponsible positions, the creation of personal ana
collective responsibility the opening up of new
sources of accumulation, ETC.
1t is clear that the carrying out Of all these
tasks is absolutely in accordance with the in.
