Russian Collective Farms Are Successful,

The Socialist thesis has been

In Russia the means of pro-
duction are owned by a state
apparatus without popular
control, and this new state
capitalism is operating on a
profit system-and how! The
profits which are drained from
the "toiling masses" go to f.
nance and intrench the states

at the disposal Of the states

and uses of wealth that they
do not personally own.
The masses who produce
the wealth have nothing what
ever to say about how its sur

These forces-aiready equipped

In a year-end summary, head

This. the Army said. was re-
