RUSSIAN HARVEST
LAGS FAR BEHIND
Only 45.2 Per Cent of SoWn
Area Cut So Far, Soviet
Leaders Acknowledge.

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, August ia serious
tagging in the grain harvest, combined
with difficulties encountered by the
government in making collections from
the peasantry, has been officially ac-
knowledged.
Published figures showed that with
the end Of the harvest period only about
three weeks off, 1896 900 acres, or only
45.2 per cent Of the sown area in the
Soviet Union, had been reaped by Au-
gust 5, as compared with 124 1877 500
acres, or STA per cent, on the same date
in 1881.
July ollections-meaninR that deliv-
cred to the government uJ rne peasants
under contract-reached only ASS per
cent Of the plan.
Delays in Drought Areas.
The greatest delays in harvesting
and collections were found in the
Ukraine and in the North Caucasus, the
Chief producing areas, where q devaS-
tating drought was experienced last
year.
Although the harvest was expected to
be ended in those areas by this date.
the Ukraine had harvested only IS per
cent Of its area and the North Caucasus
only So per cent. Similarly, July COL
lections in both sections were charac-
terized as very bad' and no improve
ment was noted during the first few
days Of August.
The newspapers blamed the situation
on poor organization of the work and Of
the collective farm leadership in the
Ukraine, citing how the chairman of
one regional party conference was
severely reprimanded for carelessness
and inattention to duty.
Other factors held to be responsible
were increased activities of the Kulaks
against collective farmers in the form
Of grain thefts and general persecution
| and insufficient attention paid to the
work Of individual peasants by Com
munist party and government officials.
State Farms Behind.
The State farms, which are those
| operated by the government with
/ salaried labor and which are supposed
to be models Of Socialist agriculture,
showed the lowest percentage of har-
vesting, which amounted to 1913 per
cent Of their sown area, or 872, 500
| acres.
The collective farms harvested ST.
| 020, 900 acres, or 469 per cent, and in
dividual peasants harvested 19,572 500
acres, or 44.8 per cent.
In an effort to increase the speed of
the harvest, the party ordered all
| young Communists in villages of the
Ukraine to 60 into the fields and help
the harvest, both by physical labor and
by propaganda among the peasants.

CREDIT BOARD ENDS

Mission Will Be Continued by
Reconstruction Body,
Chairman Says.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, January 27-George M.
Reynolds. chairman of the board Of the
National Credit Corporation announced
today the S5OOO0OOOO bankers pool
would cease its loans and that its
work would be carried on by the two
billion dollar reconstruction cOrpo-
ration.
The bankers pool, Reynolds said, had
lent approximately the full extent of its
commitments Of $3.50 900 900 and would
probably liquidate within the next
three months"
We've done a good job, think, in
fulfilling the purpose of the credit pool, -
Reynolds said but we feel that since
the banking phase Of the Reconstruc-
tiOn Corporation is on a parallel, we
should withdraw"
OF the S5OO,OOO,OOO sought at the or
ganiZatiOn Of the pool last October, ap-
proXimately S435 900 900 has been
pledged by banks in 43 States. Thirty
per cent of these pledges have been
called in.
Reynolds said the pool would con-
tinue its work until the Reconstruction
Corporation, headed by Charles G.
Dawes, could begin its lending opera
tions.
Inc NtCUIlSII uCL4On corporation
probably will retain some Of the per-
sonnel of the credit corporation in its
banking loans, Reynolds said.
The banking pool chairman, who is
executive head Of the Continental Illi-
hois Bank. said 75O banks have bor-
rowed funds. Of this number. II have
failed Of these in Illinois and Iowa
We've no fear that the pool will
lose on these failures Reynolds said
"inasmuch as the collateral given US
is sufficient to warrant our reimburse
ment at once"
Money is closer now than when our
pool was organized The banks have
strong need Of their liquid funds We
feel we can withdraw without hinder
ing the purpose Of thawing out credits
inasmuch as the Reconstruction Cor
poration will continue our work There
is no need for duplication"
Th.e pool has already discontinued
loans in the Chicago area.
