1t is with undisguised horror that
capitalism looks back to the outlived
year of 1884" writes Pravda. organ
of the Communist Party of the So
Wet Union, in an article devoted to
an analysis of major events.
1T is with quaking fear that cap
itslism looks forward to the coming
year" Prsvda continued. Dark as
night are capitalisms past and
future. Throughout the world only
one country is passing the elapsed
year in triumphant march of
economic victories and meeting the
new year with the joyful foreknowl-
edge Of still more striking economic
and cultural successes, This is the
country of the Soviets, which is
guided by the Soviet government
and by the Central Committee of
the Communist Party of the Soviet
Union, the country of victorious So
cialism.
Sentence has been passed by his
tory. Not only in theory, not only in
the hearts and hopes of millions of
people, but in practice and in actual
facts the advantages of the socialist
over the capitalist system have been
proven. 1t was proved that only
after the burying of capitalism can
human society move forward
1T is very simple. On the one
side, upon the Threshold OF 1885,
five years after the beginning of the
crisis, industrial production in the
capitalist world stands one third
lower than the level existing before
the crisis and in the most important
countries on still lower level than
before the war. On the other side.
in the course Of one year, pig-iron
smelling in the U.S.S.R has in
creased As per cent, and compared
with the pre-war level of production
socialist industry has increased
MANIFOLD.
Such are the two summings-up.
However loud the jackals of the
bourgeoisie howl, they are unable to
smother these powerful facts which
are imparting vigor to all the toiIing
population Of the globe and sound

exploiters and their chained dogs.
Soviet achievements for 1894
shine with brilliant lights. 1t is
rightly called here the year of rec
ords. The brilliant epic rescue of
the Chelyuskin crew, the Like ex-
petition, the aviation records, the
whole series of scientific congresses,
and the achievements of the Soviet
Sportsmen are only the outstanding
feats of the year. There is also the
writer's congress, the first in the
world, the victories Of the Soviet
films, and the record flights into the
shakespeare, accomplished by Soviet
shakespeare f1iers. All this, as we'll
as hundreds of other striking events
of 1884 is an expression of the tenn
pestuous growth of Soviet industry
and agriculture.
The past year was year of sharp
jumps. The experience and the
growth of trained forces, the tire
less work of the Communist Party
have manifested their effect. The
enterprises which do not fulfill their
plans become rare exceptions. Fur
thermore, we see one enterprise after
another, even whole branches of in
dustry, over fulflllinf their plan.
The coming year will show this still
more clearly. Victory engenders still
greater victories-such is the law Of
Soviet development.
Chief Difficulties Behind
1.-THE chief difficulties are already
behind. The very word difficulties
is beginning to be met with less
frequently in the lexicon Of Soviet
economic workers. There are still
