Iron Smelling

The iron smelling industry as
whole yielded a total growth of 80
per cent in comparison with last
year, but iron ore showed an in
crease of 49.7 per cent and steel
growth of 42.6 per cent. Malleable
iron increased by 81 per cent. If
the iron smelling in September
which amounted to $4,000 tons is
taken into consideration when THE
U.S.S.R. TAKES FIRST PLACE IN
THE WORLD AND HAS SUR
PASSED THE IRON SMELLING
OF THE U.S.A. (912,000 tons).
This years results in the sphere
of agriculture in the U.S.S.R. are
generally known. Notwithstanding
the unfavorable weather conditions
in different districts of the Soviet
Union, this years harvest, owing to
the collective farm system which
enables better organization of
work, is on the same level as the big
harvest of last year.
In this year, too, numerous trac-
tors and agricultural machines
we're given to agriculture: in the
first nine months of this year $4,000
tractors, 1900 mowers and thresh-
ers were supplied and during the
three quarters of the year the agri-
cultural machine construction in
dustry delivered machinery to the
value of PITT million rubles.
AS far as cattle raising is con-
terned the current year denotes a
turning point: the number of cat
tie has increased for the first time
in all branches of cattle raising.
Railway Transport
Railway transport expressed in
the number of tons of freight
moved has increased during the
first eight months of the current
year by 20.3 per cent in comparison
with the same time last year.
The constant growth of all
branches of national economy de-
manded a further drawing in of
labor forces. In the first eight
months of this year the number of
workers employed in Soviet indus
try increased by 1913 per cent in
comparison to the corresponding
period of last year. The average
monthly wages increased by IA per
cent in the same period of time.
The renewed upswing in the ma
terial level of the toilers and their
increased purchasing power can
also be seen in the turnover OF
goods in the country. The retail
turnover in the Soviet Union shows
an increase of 30.7 per cent in the
first nine months of the current
year in comparison with the cor
responding period of the year be-
| fore.
The foreign trade of the U.S.SR,
has favorable balance to show for
the period from January to the
end OF this year amounting to 129,-
701 900 rubles.
! The volume and the character OF
! the extended reproduction of ma
tional economy in the U.SSR. in
the current year assures it of a
new, big stride forward in the COM
/ ing year, the third year of the Sec
ond Five Year Plan.

On the Eve Of the Third Year
of the Second Five-Year Plan

THE elaboration of the plan for
the third year of the Second
Five Year Plan is on the agenda
of the planning bodies of socialist
economy. The data on the course
of the fulfillment of the plan of
the current year, the second year OF
the Second Five Year Plan, is there
fore of interest. We have already
reported the temporary results Of
the work of heavy industry in the
Soviet Union in the first ten
months of this year. We have now
before us an EXHAUSTIVE ECO
NOMIC REPORT FOR THE FIRST
THREE QUARTERS (January-
September) of 1884.
From this report it can be seen
that the U.S.S.R. HAS GREAT
PROGRESS TO SHOW ON THE
THRESHOLD OF THE THIRD
YEAR OF THE SECOND FIVE
YEAR PLAN IN ALL THE
SPHERES OF ECONOMY OF THE
COUNTRY. The increase in the
pOQuCGlO1l VI ldI &c SCd1O AAlNuSViS Ia
these nine months amounts to 20.2
per cent in comparison with the
corresponding period of last year.
the Volume of production for the
same period amounts to 26.5 billion
rubles. The increase of production
in the branches of industry produc-
ing means of production reached
25.9 per cent during this time and
for the branches of industry pro-
ducing articles for general use it
was 1T per cent. The highest
growth took place in heavy indus
try where it amounted to % per
cent and the industries producing
food followed closely with an in
crease of 23.1 per cent. THERE is
NOT A SINGLE BRANCH OF IN
DUSTRY WHICH HAS NOT GOT
A CONSIDERABLY GROWTH TO
RECORD IN COMPARISON WITH
THE YEAR BEFORE. This can be
seen from the following table:

Power Production

1t is characteristic that the pro-
duction of power in the first nine
months of this year increased by
31.8 per cent whereas the total in
crease in power production amounts
to 20.2 per cent. In this way the
production Of energy surpasses the
growth Of industry as we'll as other
branches of national economy. The
supply of power is thereby increased
for the whole country.

IS STORY OF PERSEVERANCE AND STUDY

During this time his father, who
for 40 years had been a butler with

box as honor guest.
She further invited young George
Garner to luncheon and the father,
who had opened the door OF the

rich and famous, then had the ex-
