year, 925, 10000 roubles will be In
vested in the construction of new
district power stations.
The coal industry was confronted
with a big task: to increase the
output of coal to the level of fully
providing for the requirements of
the country; to mechanic coal
mining; to develop new coal fields,
particularly in the East. This task
has been fulfilled. In 1880, the coal
industry yielded 48,5O0,000 tons of
coal, while in 1884 it yielded
100000 tons, increasing by 80 per
cent. The Ural, Siberian, and other
Eastern coal fields increased their
output during this period by 131,
154, and even 214 per cent. (Kuz-
netsk coalfield). In four years,
1922, 100000 roubles have been in
vested in the coal industry. One
hundred forty-four new mines, and
80 reconstructed old mines, with a
total capacity of 100000 tons an
nual output, were put into op-
Grafton.
During this period, the mines
received 76O heavy coalcutters, 1900
pneumatic drills, 1,275 electric drills,
297 electric locomotives. Our fac
tories" said Ordjonikidze, our
plants are equipped with a splendid
modern technique possessed by no
capitalist country. Where do we
derive this from?
From different countries we pur-
chased the most highly perfected
machines, the very latest achieve
ments Of world technique, with
which to equip our factories. In cap
italist countries, many plants and
mines are still equipped with ma
chimes dating from the nineteenth
and the beginning of the twentieth
centuries. Our basic capital has the
best technique in the world.
TN 1885, the Soviet coal industry
will give over 112O00,000 tons, and
by 1887, the last year of the Second
Five Year Plan, should produce
152,500,000 tons of coal. This is not
an easy task, but certainly can be
realized. All the possibilities for
this achievement exist. The basic
thing now is to master the new
technique. The advanced workers
IN the Soviet Union show striking
examples Of how this is being done.
The average monthly productivity
of coalcutting machines is 2,70O tons.
In one pit, Donbass," Ordjonikidze
related, there is an operator of a
coalcutting machine named Telnikh

Soviet AirnlGFt Takes of
On IO,5OO Mile Flight

MOSCOW, Feb. 8 (By Wireless.
Yesterday the well-known Soviet
airman, Galishev, one of the heroes
of the Cheyuskin rescue expedition,
took off from the Moscow airdrome
on a flight to Kazan, Novosibirsk
Irkutsk, Yakutsk and Tiksi Bay a
total distance of 10,500 miles. Cali
shev will have to master a new air
route from Yakutsk to Arctic Tiksi
Bay. The mastery of this route will
be of tremendous economic and
scientific Importance.
The airplane has before it the
job of connecting the industrial
centers of the country with the big

sealing factories along the shores
of the river Lena are also to be

A Workers Dictatorship

"Only the dictatorship of the pro-

workers and peasants under the
leadership of the working class, is
the power of the toilers. It is a
dictatorship from which the toilers
have nothing to fear, but which, on
the contrary, draws it's strength
from attracting the toiling masses
to active participation in the entire
business of government. Only such

Rise in Ferrous Metals

With regard to ferrous metals,
Ordjonikidze stated; "This was a
most difficult, a most complicated
task. Without metal, there could be
no talk Of any industrialization or
reconstruction of the country's econ
Omy. The metallurgy of pre-war
Russia produced 100000 tons of
iron, 100000 tons of steel, 3,5OO,O00
tons of rolled steel. In 1880 we had
100000 tons of iron, 5,S63, 900 tons
Of steel, 4,813,OO0 tons of rolled
steel. We developed on a tremen-
dous scale the reconstruction of old
plants and the building of new
ones. We began to build Kuznetsk,
Magnitogorsk, and other giants.

plored land is there still in the
country? During the last four years,
2,135,000,000 roubles have been in
vested in the oil industry. The 1884
output Of oil, with gas, amounted to
25,60O00O tons, or 35.9 per cent more
than in 1880. We plan an oil out
put for 1885 of 30,3O0,OOO tons. BY
the end of the Second Five Year
Plan, the oil industry should pro-
duce 46,800,000 tons of oil annually.
During 1885, 100000 metres will be
drilled; 20 new oil refining plants
will be put into operation, and 1,O60
kilometres Of pipe line will be laid"

Investments in Industry

By Jan. l, 1881, the basic funds
Of heavy industry were valued at a
total of 9,4S4, 900, 900 roubles. BY
the time of the Seventh Congress.
heavy industry was valued at a
total of 28,9o3 OOO,o roubles. It
has more than trebled during these
four years. To achieve this growth,
it was necessary to invest vast funds
in industry; it was necessary to or
ganlze huge masses of people to
build, and to aSsimilate rebuilt and
reconstructed enterprises. In the
process of construction itself. it was
necessary to train cadres of lead
ers, cadres of workers, and this was
most difficult. But our country has
not skimped on funds to develop
heavy industry. The Bolshevjk
Party under the leadership of
Stain found those government sub
sidies about which Lenin spoke.
During these four years, 30 3oo.-
100000 roubles have been invested
in heavy industry. Newly construct
ed and reconstructed factories now
in operation are valued at 22.549,-
100000 roubles. Approximately
billion gold roubles were spent on
imports for industry. Under the
leadership of the Party of Lenin
and Stain, the working class of
the U. S. S. r. has fulfilled the
enormous task of creating Socialist
heavy industry. 1t built factories,
plants, coal mines, metal mines.
power stations, oil fields, potash
mines. etc. 1t built and put into

accomplished, especially if we take
into consideration the fact that
this was done in period when
heavy industry itself was under

Law Staying Farm Foreclosures Takes
Place of the Old Frazier
Lemke Moratorium

According to information furnish
ed Joseph M. Prevette, Cancellation
commissioner for Ashe county, the
new Frazier-Lemke moratorium law
has just passed both houses Of Con-
gress and takes the place of the law
recently held unconstitutional by thc
Supreme Court.
The new law provides that any
farmer who is being threatened by
foreclosure can apply to the concilia-
Ion commissioner and upon filing a
petition with the clerk of the federal
court and upon it being approved by
the federal judge that all proceedings
against the farmer and his sureties
are stayed until the proceedings are
completed in the federal court. After
filing the petition a hearing is had
before the commissioner and if the
farmer is not able to work out
satisfactory settlement with his cred
itors, then he can amend his petition
and obtain a three year moratorium
and still retain possession of his farm
by paying a reasonable rental during
the three year period and may at any
time within the three years pay off
the debt. The difference in the pres
ent law and the old law is that the
farmer cannot buy the property for
less than the mortgage debt unless
the court orders the property sold at
auction after the three year period.
Mr.. Prevette has also been advised
by the Farm Loan Adjustment Com
mittee that the Federal Land Bank is
still able to make loans both for the
purpose of refinancing Indebtedness
and also for purpose of aiding per-
sons to buy farm properties.
