SOV|ET'S FIAT
To INDUSTRY
Drive to Make Business Profit
able 0VerShadoWS Even the
Tremendous 5-Year Plan
BY EDWARD L. DEUSS

Correspondent

MOSCOW, June 29.-The drive
to put Soviet industries on a pay
ing basis in the opinion of many
Soviet economists overShadows in
Importance the five-year plan it
self, which at home and abroad
had orroneouSly become Synony-
nous with enormous production
irrespective of the equally import
ant factors Of quality and costs.
Big Production Menace
The decision that all industries,
trade organizations directly or in
directly under control of the fed
eral government must make profits
has more than ever fastened the
complexion of state capitalism on
Russia. It was based on the Com
muniSt party'S realization that
large scale production. far from
being an asset, was becoming such
a liability as to menace the financ.
ing Of the five year plan.
Party leaders saw that If 100
units were produced at loss the
production of 500 units caused a
five-fold greater loss, assuming the
loss per unit remained stationary.
In many cases the losses per unit
production increased.
Desperate Tactics
The "pay-your-own way" decree
had its beginnings in the almost
unnoticed decision of the govern
ment in January to curtail infla-
ton by abStaining from increasing
the circulation of paper rubleS. In
previous years almost 10 per cent
of the budgeted expenses had been
met by the simple expedient Of
printing currncy as needed.
The Stoppage Of printing presses,
the losses in tax receipts due to
the liquidation" of private trad
ers and kulaks (well-to-do peas
antS) who paid exceedingly heavy
taxes, and the enormous outlays
for new constructions entailed by
the speedup five-year plan pro-
gram this year caused such an
enormous hole in the budget that
more than a dozen unforeseen and
unplanned measures have been
taken to drum up the money.

With the end of two basketball
games on the Brawley high school
court tonight between Brawley and

The first game Of the night will
start at 8 o'clock tonight. A large
crowd of FL Centro and Brawley
rooters is expected to attend.
All four teams have unblemished

team has recorded the largest total
ccore against opponents for the

larger total score than the FL Gen.
tro c team.
Both games bring together teams
that will be fighting the hardest
game OF the season, with the prize
set as the basketball championship
Of this region. Since El Centro al
ready holds the football title, the
local teams will be battling tor a
two-Way record, to hold both grid

the handicap committee Of the
United States Polo association.
At the conclusion of the annual
meeting of the association yesterday
the handicap committee announced
that Thomas Hitchcock, Jr., captain
OF the team, still was the only 10
goal player in the world and Eric
Pedley and Winston Guest, No. l
and back, respectively, had been ad-
vanced from eight goals to nine.
All Of which occasioned no sur
prise. 1t is generally agreed that
Tommy has no equal. Pedley and
Guest were certain Of boosts after
their consistently fine play before,
during, and after the international
matches.
The only surprise in the commit
tees report was the failure of Earle
A. S. Hopping, the fourth member
OF the team to get an increase. The
youngsters rating remained un-
changed at eight goals.
The association elected the fol-
lowing officers to serve one year:
Louis E. Stoddard, chairman; j.
Ford Johnson, honorary secretary;
George H. Mead, honorary treas
urer, and F.. S. OReilly, secretary
and treasurer.
