Electricity output.
Considerable encouragement should
be derived from the statistics pertain
ing to electric output, which, to GER
tain extent, reflect business conditions
in the country.
Although somewhat below 1880 fig
ures, the output of electric power for
the week ended September 10, as re-
ported by the National Electric Light
Association, shows a gain over the pre-
ceding week of about per cent, and
is the largest reported for any single
week since the first Of last month.
Hoarding Continues.
THAT boarding on a rather substan-
tial scale is going on in the United
States is evident from statistics relative
to the amount of money in circulation,
as published by the Federal Reserve
Board. According to this authority, the
total volume, which stands today at
about SIS, 087 ,000, 900, represents gain
Of more than half billion within a
relatively short period of time.
The gain within less than seven
weeks was close to 100000, 900. Hoard
ing of currency is as futile and eco
nomically as sterile as large stocks of
gold lying in the vaults Of national
treasures Both must be put to work
If normality is to be restored.
Gold Parity.
Great Britain must not hesitate to
restore sterling to gold parity as soon
as possible, according to Gustav Cassel,
renowned Swedish economist 1t may
be recalled that prior to the restoration
of the gold standard by Great Britain,
after its abandonment during the war,
Mr.. Cassel advocated sterilization OF
the pound at lower level. He adds
that the United States and France must
intervene to reyitalize dead gold, as it
is the only way to insure rising price
of normality. He urges Sweden to cur
tail unessential imports in order to be
able to maintain the full gold standard.
Rumanian Currency.
The status of the Rumanian National
Bank and of the country's currency is
entirely sound according to George
Boncescu, financial counselor of the Ru-
manian legation.
Mr.. Bonceseu points out that the gold
reserve of the bank, including coin and
ingot, stands at 81 Sc per cent, as COM
pared with a legal minimum of 25 per
cent, and that the total reserve of gold
and foreign exchange is appreciably in
excess of the legal limit of 35 per cent,
without taking into account the banks
sterling balances.
The counSelor's statement is substan-
tiated by the firmneSs of the Rumanian
currency during the past few days
when most of the European exchanges
were under considerable pressure.

THE EDUCATION AND LABOR
ENTHUSIASM OF THE
MASSES IN U.S.S.R.

This enthusiasm of the working class of the
USSR is due to the fact that after the october
revolution it has become the ruling class, the real
master of its own fate, the builder of new life,
the leader of all toilers in their struggle for the
final victory of socialism.
The rapid growth of the socialist industry, the
output of which has increased As per cent in one
year, brings with it more and more tasks of
various kinds which arise before the masses of
workers. giving an outlet to their creative energy
and before the CPSU which gives lead to the
great work of socialist construction according to
plan The conversion of a gigantic agrarian
country but recently backward country COM
pared with the advanced capitalist countries,
into modern industrial and agrarian country,
is connected with a whole series of difficulties
which are being overcome, and takes place in
constant struggle against the right and cleft"
opportunist.
The difficulties for instance, the shortage Of
skilled labor power which is still being felt, es
pecially when gigantic tasks of new kind have
to be solved the lack of concrete leadership
capable of dealing with all economic details, in
many cases inadequate organization OF the
labour process the fact that the transport SER
vice has for time Jagged behind the tempo Of
the Industrial development, the defects in the
organization of supply-all this is being gradu-
ally overcome with stubborn energy on the basis
Of the Marxist-Leninist line of the CPSU, and
by drawing broad masses of workers into active
cooperation. On the basis of constant and con-
scientious study of every separate task and of
the difficulties connected with it, on the basis
of broad Sef-criticism and 6atiy struggle against
right and cleft" opportunists, the proletariat of
the USSR has achieved great deal, and has
been able to overcome the difficulties of con-
struction
The labor enthusiasm of the masses which is
growing on the basis of genuine and wide prole
tartan democracy, bolshevist self-criticism ruth
less struggle against all opportunstic views
which reflect fear of the difficulties encountered
in the carrying through of important tasks, or
an ignoring of these difficulties, guarantee the
further victorious progress of socialism on one
sixth of the globe under the firm leadership of
the CPSU.
The heroic struggle of the proletariat of the
USSR for the solution of the great tasks of the
socialist plan is closely intertwined with the
struggle of the world proletariat against hunger,
reaction, and the war danger. and for proetarian
dictatorship and victorious world october.

How 1t Happened

On August 9, we received letter from J. O.
OF Jersey City, saying
II would like to help the working class move
ment and wish to have an interview with some
organizer of your Party here in Jersey city
Could you please let me have his name and ad-
dress as soon as possible"
The curtain rose on the next scene for us on
Oct. 16 when we got letter from the Y.CL or
ganizer Of the New Jersey section, saying that
the letter we got on August 9, had been given
to the Party organizer on Oct IL by the District
Also, and this is the joke of It, the writer Of
the inquiry had accidentally, 1t appears, run
across the Y.C.L. in Jersey, joined it Sept. 49,
and is now member and Agit-Prop director Of
the Unit.
"This is a young worker" says the VOL. or
ganizer, who did not wait for the red tape Of
the Party to reach him. He broke through"
How did it happen? Well in the Daily Office,
do not have the addresses Of all functionaries,
and sent the letter to the District, where 1t was
carefully preserved in the desk Of functionary
who recently wrote brilliant article for the
Daily against red tape and delay in recruiting

THE GROWING CREDIT CRISIS IN
THE CAPITALIST COUNTRIES
THE STRENGTHENING OF THE
CREDIT SYSTEM IN THE
SOVIET UNION
Excerpt from an editorial Of
the Moscow 'Isvestia" of Oct, ~.

The words bank" and crash" are becoming
almost synonyms in the lands of capital The
foreign press IN the course of the current wear
has been carrying ceaseless stream of news
about bankruptcy of credit institutions This
news having become very frequent is losing its
sensational character. About the closed doors OF
banks, about the crashes of industrial enter
prises connected with these banks, about the
panic among the depositors one speaks as OF
an ordinary street event.
And only at a time when the crisis, like gan
creme, begins to devour 1.-THE rock foundations"
Of the financial economy of England when "the
bank Of banks" tthe Bank of England begins
to tremble for the fate of It's doors of its world
financial hegemony, then only there in the west
one begins to form conception of the actual
dimension of the economic crisis which has
grasped the capitalist system and to fear for
the future. In Germany one says that this
winter will be "the most difficult, the most fear
full one" only in Germany alone?
In the light OF these facts the growth and the
strengthening of the credit system OF the Soviet
Union are especially significant.
The 1854 branches of the State Bank Cos
bank, 98 per cent Of which are In the districts,
are the conductors of Soviet trade through the
Union. The 5000 treasures of the enterprises
and plants are completing this giant net
And this credit institution does not know any
