RuSsiaS FiUe- Year Plan Is Stains Great Effort
to PrOUe That Rule of Communism Is Success

vised it ever imagined it would
be.
1t is inevitable that it will be
followed by new five-year plan.
THIS new five-year plan is to
Il be completed by 1887. 1t calls
for 250.000,000 tons of coal. o.
100000 tons of pig iron. 100000
ions of wheat and 100000 ,000,0 900
kilowatt hours of electricity.
Other phases of the plan have
been Sketched only roughly by
Soviet leaders and will be made
known before the end of the year.
The current fiye-year plan has
resulted in the Soviet spending
$32 600, 100000 on its industrial
program. The question arises if a
poor nation like Russia can spend
that much money on improve
mentS, without going bankrupt,
why can't a nation as rich as the
United States spend a greater
amount without seriously affect
ing its financial structure?
Another question the five-year
plan has brought up is how the
Russians financed the industrial
development?
Among its methods of finance
are the Russian internal bonds.
They are sold in much the same
way as the Liberty bonds were
sold during the World war. Their
purchase is almost obligatory.
If the Russian prefers an inter
est-bearing bond, he usually is
paid 7 per cent. But if he pre-
ferS, he can carry a lottery bond
and gamble on the return.
THEORETICALLY, the Rus
l. sian, with enough per cent
bonds, could live on the interest.
But in so doing he might label
himself capitalist and exile or
execution would follow.
Credit to the country is placed
at $500 1000 900, while $10,0O0,00O is
represented as foreign capital now
working Russian concessions.
Imitation has not been primarily
the states treasure box. To
prove this, paper money was is
sued in denominations of one,
three, five and ten and OCCASION
ally twenty rubles, but not in
denominations of thousand or
million.
Some have said the natural re-
sources are her capital. but it
takes time to liquidate such. To
liquidate them the soviet has es-
tablished an iron belt around her
consumers.
Often she takes what she thinks
she can sell, and pays nominal
price for it with her own cur
rency, thus giving her gold.
Cash must be gotten and the
belt around internal Russia is
tied tighter whenever the Soviet
state needs cash.
And it is this iron ring that is
paying for the five-year plan,
which is gradually nearing COM
pletion ahead of time.
THE END.

FIRM PRODUCTS
Parade Starts Exposition at
Playground.

Described as one of the most ex-
tensive merchandising programs of
modern times, display of its
products was opened today at the
state Playground by General Motors
Corporation, following a downtown
parade led by the American Legion
drum corps.
Governor Harry G. Leslie opened
the program, counterparts of which
are being given in fifty-four other
cities of the country. Firing of an
aerial bomb at 10 this morning
marked the opening and one will be
fired at the same hour daily next
week while the exhibit is in prog
ress.
The display slogan is Work for
Many Hands" in line with the drive
of automobile manufacturers for
revival of industry.
In setting beautified with vel
vet hangings and cloth of gold
$150,000 worth of automobiles and
trucks produced by General Mo-
tors are being shown in the Live
stock building at the Playground.
Cars shown are Chevrolet, Pontiac,
OldSmobile, Buick, LaSalle and Cad
lilac.
IN addition, there is display of
Frigidaire electric refrigerators,
fans and vacuum cleaners and
various automotive accessories.
Indiana companies represented in
the accessories show include units
of the Delco-Remy corporation at
Anderson and Muncie and the
Guide Lamp Company, Anderson.
Allison Engineering Company of
Indianapolis, which is engaged in
experimental aeronautical work for
the United States government and
General Motors, also has a display.
Boys work in the Fisher body con-
test conducted by General Motors,
in which $4,000 boys participated
last year, is being shown.

THESE, of course, are the high

It was aimed to triple the pro-

other heavy products and to
double the production of clothing,
prepared foods, oil and coal.

have been built and equipped
since the plan was put intqsopera-

Two of the greatest of these
factories are tremendous tractor
plants at Kharkov and Stalingrad.
These last year produced 10000
tractors. Russia today, incidenti-

operation.

DROP FEDERAL SUIT
IN CHAIN TAX SUIT
Dismissal Paves Way for Test Ac-
ton in Circuit Court.

AhVh III 0AACnt L.
Dismissal in federal court of the
Midwest Petroleum Corporation s
test suit against the state tax board
today paved the way for filing an
amended complaint in circuit court
in the battle of oil companies to
exempt filling stations from provi-
sions of the chain store tax law.
The suit was transferred to fed
eral court in January, and, falling
to have the case returned to Mar
ion circuit court, the company
moved for dismissal in federal court.
The case is based on Attorney
General James M. Ogden's ruling
that filling stations should pay the
chain store tax the same as other
retail stores.

T ONDON, April 2.-While Rus
~ STA is celebrating the tenth
anniversary of Joseph Stains
election as general secretary of
the Communist party, there is an
other matter vastly more interest
ing to people outside of the So
Wet state.
1t can be expressed in the ques-
ton, How is the hve-year plan
going? What has it accomplished?
What does the tenth anniver-
sary of Stains accession to power
mean in the development of Rus
sia's Communistic form OF so
ciety? Where does Russia get her
money?
To begin, the date set for COM
pletion of the five-year plan has
been moved forward to Dec. 81,
1882. That date will be only
little more than four years after
the plan was begun.
The shortening of the schedule
is supposed to indicate that the
plan has met with greater success
than was expected.
AS a matter of fact, however,
the f1ve-year plan never was
hard-and-faSt affair. 1t is a mis-
homer and isn't the first plan.
1t is and has been extremely
flexible. 1t represented a mark
to shoot at, a peg on which to
hang propaganda-little more.
TINE f1ve-year plan represented
Il Stains great attempt to make
communism work.
Private trading was abolished,
except for a few relatively and
unimportant exceptions. The
peasants were to be collectivated;
that is, enormous State-operated
farms, housing hundreds of work
erS and their families, were to
take the place of the individually
cultivated little farms that had
existed previously.
Russia was to develop her nat
ural resources, her transportation
and her manufactures so thor
oughly that she could get along
in complete independence of other
nations of the world.
That last sentence, incidentally,
needs bit of explanation. 1t
comes from the fact that most
Russians are quite convinced that
the capitalistic powers, sooner or
later, will band to destroy COM
munism and restore a capitalistic
government in Russia.
Fully half of Russia's farmland
now is being worked by COLLECTIVE
lied farms. The kulaks, or indi-
vidual peasants who will not join
the colectives, have fought a
spirited but losing battle.
