BY EDDY GILMORE,

AShoClBteQ ETSsS WIT OoffespOnoeuL,
TALLlNN, Estonia, Oct. 6.--The
Soviet Estonian republic, now freed
from three years OF German DOM
nation, will decide for itself whether
to adopt the Russian system Of col
lectivization Of agriculture, declares

lective farms" he said at a press
conference. they will not have
them. But the party, naturally be-
lieving In 1t. will campaign for it by
press and radio education"
"And the naturalization OF stores
and businessp" correspondent
asked.
Small enterprises of less than 10
employees will remain in private
hands," he replied.
Currently all stores in Estonia are
closed for inventory.
A land reform which was inaugu-
rated in 1940-30 hectares Of land
to a peasant--has been reintroduced.
A hectare is 2.47 acres. veimer was
asked how many hired hands q
peasant may employ and how many
cows he may own.
"There Is no limit to the number
Of persons he may employ on a
farm" he declared. "He may have
as many cows as he can maintain. T"
The council president said he did
not know what system would pre-
vail In the other Soviet Baltic re-
publics, Latvia apd Lithuania, but
there seems reason for believing
there will be no forced collectiva-
ton or naturalization.
Wiener said the republic faced a
tremendous task Of reconstruction,
especially with winter coming and
stores depleted of almost everything
by the Germans.
He estimated It would take two
years to rebuild the shattered town.
The port is wrecked. Between 40
and so per cent of the city's build
ings were destroyed.
