by town and district regional confer
ences and will elaborate the directives
regarding the Second Five Year Plan.
The most moneutous aspect Of this
project is the fact that the specific
aim of the Party and the entire work
ing class is to abolish all remnants
of class society and build up on the
basis already created by the four
teen years of victorious revolution,
a classics society fully eliminating
the last remains of exploitation Of
man by man.
"The Seventeenth Party confer
encc considers THAT the trcm sndOus
natural resources OF the country,
the Bolsheyik tempo of socialist
construction, the growing activity
of the wide masses Of workers and
collective farmers and the correct
lire of the Parry will assure such
development cf &c productive
forces of socialist economy of the
Second Plan Gu tie basis of which
capitalist elements In the Soviet
Union win be finally eliminated.
"The conference considers, the
basic political task of the Second
Plan to be the final LIQUIDATION of
capitalist elements and classes in
general, elimination of the reasons
for the cause of class differences,
exploitation, the overcoming of the
remains of capitalism In economy
and the consciousness of the people
in Transforming the whole Of the
toiling population into conscious
active constructors of a classics
socialist society.
"Gn the ma5is of the liquidation
Of the parasite class elements and
the general growth Of the national
income which Is entirely at the dis
posal of the working class, the con-
ference considers it necessary 10
raise the standards of living, BY
the end of the second Plan, the
supply to the population of the
basic consuming goods must in
crease rot less than two 10 three
times over at the end of the first
Plan"
The provisions for the fulfillment
Of these general aims are grouped
under three main heads: the con-
tinuation of technical reconstruction
Of the country's economy, the mastery
of technique, methods for better sat-
isfying the masses growing. consump-
ton demands.
High Points of Plan
The comprehensive program pre-
sented the first head for further in
naturalization includes the following
high points, B.
The conference considers the de
cisive basic task of the Second Plan
is the achievement of the recon
struction of the peoples economy
and the creation Of a new techno-
logical base. The leading role will
be played by the Soviet machine
industry whose production by the
end of the plan will increase three
or three and one half times that
of 1882, a wide eIectrification pro-
gram calling for a hundred billion
ktlowatts compared to sevneteen
billion this year. The production
of coal will jump from the present
ninety million tons to two hundred
and fifty; oil extraction Will in
crease two and half to three
times, mad a similar tremendous
expansion of the light and heavy
metal industries, chemical, water
transport, roads, aviation and radio.
The food consumption industries
will expand to meet the increased
triple demands. Agriculture and So
cialist reconstruction and the con-
tirued tractor stations will embrace
all the colIectives achieving complete
mechanization. The output of cotton
and linen will be doubled, grain will
be increased to a billion three hun
lred million hundred weights.
Must Master Technique
In completing the chronological re-
construction tasks, the further mas
terry of technique will be essential.
The creation of ever larger cadres is
proceeding rapidly, developing the
working class intelligentsia. The rails
ing OF the general cultural and po-
litical level, as we'll as the technical,
of the wide masses, is also the major
objective of the Second Five Year
Plan. An extensive development in
the trade turnover is widening the
net of goods and food stores planned.
In conclusion, the draft program
states that the new successes will be
achieved only by continual struggle
against capitalist elements and the
overcoming of the bourgeois and petty
bourgeois prejudice amongst the toll
ers, the carrying on of stubborn work
and their re-education.
The complete collectivization OF
agricultural lnechanization will create
the conditions for the complete elm
nation of the contrast between city
and country. The quick growth Of
the economy of the national republics
is doing away with their backward
ness which is a result of the Czarist
colonial regime.
The Soviet Unions Second Plan
will take first place in Europe in
