SSR. on Road to Socialism +» As before the revolution agricul- ture occupies a predominant position in the economics of the U. S. S. R. The interdependence of agriculture in industry in a peasant country is ir- refutable. The development of col- lective forces of such a country re- quires extensive industrial develop- ment. The industrialization of the U. S. S. R. and its transformation from an agrarian into an industrial- agrarian country and later into a “elassical’ industrial country—such is the task brought forward by his- tory for the course of a good many years. On this depends also the inter-de- pendence of the growth and develop- ment of the entire national economy of the country and the growth and development of the agricultural pro- ductive forces, The Index of Progress Raw material for industry, the gathering of capital from agriculture for industry, a general agricul- tural basis for the harmonious de- velopment of ‘agriculture, the mechanization and introduction of machinery in agriculture—such are the indices of the inter-dependence and intertwinement of interests. Points of Main Attention. That is why Soviet construction must devote so much attention to agricultural development and the ac- celeration of that development to an extent UNKNOWN in Russia before the war. It is here not merely a question of ordinary development as this would mean the development of capitalist relations in the countryside, but a DEVELOPMENT OF THE SO- CIALIST AND COMMUNITY PRIN- CIPLES IN AGRICULTURE -AND AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION IN THE U.S. S. R. Does agri re develop ALONG THESE LINES? What are the SIGNS of agricultural developments? WHITHER is agriculture developing? The Proofs, Let us take the figures. The gross agricultural revenue is now over 90 per cent of the “pre- war limits.” About 96 per cent as uch land is now tilled as before the x. The areas put under technical and intensive cultures are 111 per cent of pre-war. The amount of cat- tle is also reaching the pre-war level. Production for sale in agriculture is increasing. The supply of machinery is growing. Results are Attained. How could the Soviet Government attain such results? It accomplished them by means of extensive rational distribution of land, by encouraging the organization, of modern farms, by encouraging the raising of commercial crops, by con- siderably reducing the agricultural tax and by other forms of aid given by the Soviet Government to the pea: santry. | We will judge the development of agriculture along SOCIALIST lines by showing the parallel development of agricultural cooperation. Trend of Development. In 1926 (July 1st.), we had about 29 per cent of agricultural enterprises in the cooperatives as against 24 per eent in 1925. The number of credit cooperative societies increased more than eight-fold during the same period. The same is true of some forms of productive cooperation. Much to Do. The Soviet Government has still much to do in bringing the restoration process in agriculture to its conclu- sion. BUT THE WORK DONE WAS BY FAR INSUFFICIENT. The “pre- war” level is in itself very low. The productivity per dessiatine in Russia was extremely low before the war. The cultural backwardness weighs like a heavy weight on agriculture. AGRICULTURE IS FACE TO FACE WITH THE TASK OF RE- CONSTRUCTING AND REORGANI- ZING ITS PRODUCTION INTO A HIGHER TECHNICAL FORM AND ON A COMMUNAL BASIS IN ITS FULL SCOPE. The policy of the Soviet Government is entirely sub- ordinated to this task. Restoring Agriculture The Soviet Government was able to restore agriculture during these ten years of hard struggle and stress. The reconstruction and socializa- tion of agricultural production will be lacecomplished with the help and ef- forts of the Soviet Government. efeat the Imperialist War Against Nicaragua \ ' LENINISM TEACHES US: “The vietory of the working class in the advanced countries and“the liberation of the peoples oppressed by Imperialism are impossible without the formation and consolidation of a common revolutionary front, “The formation of a common revolutionary front is possible only if the proletariat of the oppressing countries supports directly and resolutely the movement for national independence of the oppressed peoples against the Imperialism of the mother country for a people which oppresses others can never be free.” The Workers (Communist) in the fight for: Party asks you to join and help The Defeat of Imperialist Wars.
