once they are free from the chains
of the capitalist system of produc-
ton. They are in sharp contrast with
the continued decline Of production
in the United States.
Despite the manufactured optim-
ism spread by Hoovers agents 1.-The
outlook for the rest of this year and
for the early part Of 1885," states
the "Annalist,'' a bankers journal
which cannot be suspected of being
involved in a red whispering cam
paign," ''is darkened by the fact that
the fundamental weaknesses of our
situation have not been remedied ;
and that the necessary measures,
especially the laying of new taxation,
will inevitably produce new embar-
asSments."
Progress of Soviet Mercantile Fleet
AS against this outlook, rapid prog
ress is being registered in all fields
Of Soviet production.
The shipping figures for Leningrad
harbor created new high record
this year. In all other Baltic harbors
the level of shipping dealt with is
steadily falling. In Leningrad, how
ever, it is just as steadily rising. This
year 2,211 vessels were unloaded and
1,l27 loaded representing a consider
able increase on last years figures.
The Soviet mercantile fleet is
steadily increasing in size and mod
ernity. Yesterday the Marty yard in
Leningrad launched two new timber
carriers of 1000 tons each. Both YES
sells were made by the electro welding
process. They will be allotted to the
Archangelsk timber trade.
The work for the modernization
and extension Of the Soviet railway
system Is also proceeding rapidly. The
Colomna works have now turned out
the first big locomotive. This model
has a speed of over 100 kilometers an
hour drawing a train from ID to 20
passenger coaches. Up to the present
the longest passenger trains in the
Soviet Union we're thirteen coaches.
New Natural Resources Discovered
The scientific exploration and pros
pecting work being conducted in the
Soviet Union is revealing ever new
natural resources. In the north OF
| the Soviet Union near PetSonora rich
coal deposits have been discovered
Rapid progress is also being made
with regard to the Soviet air fleet
The network of the civil aviation ser
vice rose from 26,800 kilometers in
1880 to $4,000 kilemeters this year.
The Soviet Union manufactures all
its machines in its own factories and
| from Soviet materials.
The civil air fleet has giant aero
planes like the Ant-14 which carries
forty passengers and is now being
produced on a mass scale for use
on the main air lines in the Soviet
Union and small machines like the
Avionette-G8, which is now engaged
on a trial flight from Moscow tc
Gorki-Gorod, Saratov, Sebastopol and
back to Moscow.
The Leningrad works have just
turned out little machine, Fanera-
2, with rs HIP. motor to carry three
persons. The trials have been en-

cow eningrad is now regularly flown
at night and in fogs. Light signals
have been set up along the whole
route.
The use of the aeroplane on other
fields is also making great progress
Hydroplanes are doing fine work with
the Soviet fishing fleets locating
shoals. In this way much time is
saved and the catch tremendously
increased.
The destruction of the catch to
keep up prices is an unknown phen-
omenon in the Socialist Soviet Union
The results of the aeroplane sowings
on the big collective and Soviet farms
can now be judged accurately.
1t transpires that the area sowr
by areoplanees has produced a 46 pei
cent better crop than areas sown IL
the old fashion. Aeroplanes are nov
being used for artificial fertilization
