Soviet Republics in concluding his
report for the workers and peas
ants government. AS chairman Of
the Council Of Peoples Commissars,
Sulimov reviewed the enormous dis
lance traversed by the R.SFS.R.
between the 18th and 10th Con-
gresS of Soviets, now in full swing
at the Kremlin Palace.
The basic equipment of three
quarters of heavy industry had been
built afresh, Sulimov showed, and
a number Of new industries been
created, finally ensuring the econ
omic independence of the country
Of socialism from capitalist econ
omy. During these years many
thousands Of new engineers, tech
nieal workers, and hundreds Of
thousands Of skilled workers had
been trained, guaranteeing the sue
cessful carrying on of the socialist
enterprises built and reconstructed
on the basis Of the latest achieve
ments of world technique.
Growth of Agriculture
Socialist reconstruction in agricul-
ture and the reconstruction of its
machine basis have insured an in
crease in the productivity of agri-
cultural output. The sown area Of
the R.SF.S.R. during the last few
years has increased by per cent
and is now 26 per cent in excess
OF the pre-war sown area Machine
and tractor stations already serve so
per cent of the sown area of the
collective farms. The central agri-
cultural task of the Second Five
Year Plan is the struggle for hig
harvests, Sulimov said.
The Soviet Union has entered on
the stage when the results of the
enormous heroic work of the toilers
of the country in the decisive years
Of the development Of the socialist
offensive are beginning to make
themselves felt in full force. We
see this, Sulin,ov emphasized, in the
literally nation wide movement for
raising the cultural level in all
branches of material and spiritual
life.
Advance Toward Abundance
Decisive steps have already been
taken to solve the task set by Stain
in doubling and trebling consump-
ton per head, in developing light
industry and in increasing commo-
dity turnover. The abolition of the
card system was a great victory in
Soviet economic policy. 1t is an
Illustration of the rapidity of adj
vance of the country in the strug-
gle for socialist abundance, for the
conversion of the country of the
SoViets into the richest country in
the world.
In the report of the government
special emphasis was given to the
question Of work in light industry
and to questions of communal econ
omy and health protection. These
questions are raised by the entire
course of development of the coun-
try; they arise from it's victories
We enter the year of 1885" Suli-
NOV concluded, with considerably
improved cultural levels for the
masses. The Congress can be sure
that the third year Of the Second
Five Plan will bring our coun-
try still more serious successes in
all branches Of construction. And
Inc guarantee of this Is the solidar-
lty OF millions of toilers of our coun-
try around the Party and Stain"
The concluding words of Sulimov
were dro't led in a stormy prolonged
ovation. Warmly greeting the or
ganizer Of socialist victories. the be-
loved leader Of the toilers, the pro-
letarian and democratic Congress
reflected the feelings of the entire
country and listened to the report
1t the government with the most
profound satisfaction.
