ECONOMY REDUCES
RUSSIAN BUSINESS
Imports Cut in Order to Have
Favorable Trade Bal
ance for Year.

MOSCOW-R.-The first year Of
the second five-year plan-1933-will
be one Of rigid economy in purchases
abroad for the soviet government if
its foreign trade for the first six months
may be taken as q criterion.
Confronted with a shrinking world
market for its exports and declining
prices because Of the general economic
depression, the bolshevist State found
It imperative to tighten up radically on
imports SO as to reduce the wide spread
between income and expenditure that
LETT 1t an increasingly large adverse bal
ance during the last two years of the
hrst f1ve-year plan.
That It's economy campaign has been
s1gnally effective so far Is illustrated by
the fact that it ends the first half of
1883 with favorable foreign trade bal
ance-amounting to 33,658.OOO rubIes-
for the drst time since 1928. (Tha
ruble is nominally worth about 51Ia
cents)
Reduced It's Imports.
To accomplish this 1t has had to cut
Its imports to 100 ,914 900 rubles, com
pared with 405, ,273, 900 rubles for the
same period Of 1882 and 517,279. 600
rubles in 1881. Its exports for the six
months amounted to 224,572. 900 rubles.
compared with 275, 100000 in 1882 and
366. .256, 900 in 1881.
The adverse balance in 1882, repre-
senting excess Of imports over exports,
amounted to 234 ,809 900 rubles and that
in 1881 to 1924, 900.
Soviet fiscal authorities think it so
essential to end the year with q favor
able balance that orders have gone out
to various purchasing organizations to
refrain from buying anything abroad
tnat u, or can be, produced within the
Soviet Union, no matter how much
more desirable the foreign goods may be.
Although Soviet exports to England
fell BY more than one-half and imports
from that country declined In greater
ratio, 1t Is not yet apparent to what
extent the British embargo and Soviet
counter-measures, which were In effect
during part Of the six months period,
contributed to the falling of in trade
between those two countries.
U. 8. Trades Declines.
Exports to England totaled 31,773,0O0
rubleS, compared with 65,305,0 900 in
1882. while imports amounted to 49,
257 900, compared with 81 1893 900.
The Soviet government continued to
buy more goods from Germany than
from any other country, but here, also,
its purchases were reduced by approxi-
mately one-half, compared with 1882.
During the six months 1t imported 9s.-
985, 900 rubbles' worth Of goods from
Germany, compared with 1873 ,959 900 in
the same period last year. while its ex-
ports to that country fell only TO A.
835 900 from 51,740,000.
Trade with the United States, which
has fallen of precipitately during the
last two years. continued to decline
Imports from that country amounted to
only 5,844.000 rubles for the six months
period, compared with 19,261 600 for

Obituary: Unusual,
Although Very True

DETROIT.Recently there
there appeared in the Clio

notice, headed "An Obituary:
Unusual, but True" which said:
"Montrose lost one of its for
mer residents this week when
Peter Leonard died at the home
of his daughter in Flint. Pete
was probably one of the worst
old reprobates that ever graced
the streets of Montrose. Always
a trouble-maker without a good
word for man, woman or child,
words of truth probably never
passed from his mouth for
many Of the fifty years of his
depredations on earth. Unprin-
cipled from the years that the
writer knew him. meanness far
surpassed any thought of good
ness that the average person
would command and exempli-
~. He has passed on, and it
is not likely that Montrose will
ever have another resident his

that the latter average does not
represent the actual consumption.
Analysed as to consumption of
kinds of liquors. the company's fig
ures show corn-brandy represents
IA percent of the total, other
strong drinks form 16 percent.
malt liquors (reduced to pure

3 percent.
Nearly All Domestic
The Importance of the new al
cohol legislation from the domestic
economic point of view is indicat-
ed by the fact that home produc-
ton accounts for 80 percent of
total sales.
Even wine, which was almost
wholly imported last year, may adj
vance in domestic industry as tasty
liquors have been produced from
berries.

Crime statistics of the ministry
of justice show cases of drunken
ness have fallen off by II percent
as compared with the last year Of
prohibition while actions in such
cases have decreased 20 percent.
The net financial surplus of the
alcohol company for the last nine
months of last year amounted to

HELSINGFORS, Finland. Oct.
16.-Finland, plagued by liquor
smuggling during its experience
with national prohibition, finds
this illegal traffic still its worst
problem in new wet" era.
Illegal trade in liquor grew by
leaps and bounds in the long years
of prohibition. 1t suddenly col
lapsed when prohibition was re-
pealed April s. 1882, only to rear
its head again.
Finland,s legal alcohol trade is
.centered in monopoly company,
in which the state has absolute
control. 1t has the sole right to
manufacture alcohol, which it seels
at retail in its own stores.
Can License Premises
1t has also the sole right to car
ry on trade in liquor for consump-
ton ON the premisess though it
can grant this to private restau-
rants. Likewise, it can grant
rights of manufacture to private
firms.
In every communality there Is
an inspector appointed for super
wishing the traffic in alcohol, and
some places have temperance
boards.
Intoxicants are allowed to be
sold retail freely, except to mi
nors, to soldiers unless they have
permits from their. officers, or te
intoxicated individuals or non-in'
toxicated persons in their com
pany.

+ Personal Limitation, one of the
essential points in the Swedish
law, is not contained in the Fin
nish legislation.
The alcohol company may grant
serving licenses to individuals,
companies or cooperative societies
for any kind of intoxicants, the
advisory board deciding the terms
and conditions of serving.
To prevent competition for priv
ate profit, intoxicants may only
be sold on licensed premises at
prices fixed by the advisory board.
In rural districts, retail of ins

Although the population of the
