Social incentives in the Soviet Union. By Harry F. ‘Ward, with drawings by Lynd Ward Charles Scribner's Sons, $2.50. Reviewed by HYMAN BARUFKIN The key to Dr. Ward’s approach to the subject he deals with in this book is given in the first two sen- tences, in which he says: “In the long record of human society the basic fact is always economic activity. Upon that all the other pursuits of man—his living and fighting, his thinking and dreaming—depend; by it they are conditioned.” With this principle in view, Dr. Ward examined life in the Soviet Union where, as he says in the pre- face, “We traveled alone and. lived, most of the time, uot in hotels but with the people, thus seeing things from the inside.” And on this “inside” jinformation he reaches the conclu- sion set forth at the very beginning, that “The essential difference be- tween capitalist and socialist motiva- tion is summarized in the proposal to organize industry for use in- stead of for profit or, in the language of ethics, to substitute the will to serve for the will to gain.” “The impossibility of owning pro- ductive capital in the Soviet Union cuts ihe root of the profit motive,” continues the author, “with the re- sult that in the Soviet Union only about two per cent of the total in- come goes to the bourgeoisie, whereas in other industrial countries they re- ceive from 40 to 50 per cent.” National Income to Workers Part of this large share of the na- tional income, which in other coun- tries goes to the exploiting class, in the Soviet Union ‘goes directly to the workers, and part is invested in dev- eloping the country. The net result, so far, has been that the country backward industrially in the world, has, under the Five-Year Plan, leaped to fourth position in the production of timber; third in the production of pig iron; second ‘in coal; and holds first place in the production of oil. Anti-Soviet propaganda has en- deavored to make people believe that achievements in the Soviet Union Dr. Ward points out that “Far more, however, than by per- sonal or material rewards the Com- munists achieve their ends by using the stimulus of social approval or dis- approval, This is the most important shift in incentives—the transfer of the tremendous power of common money labor.” 96 Hours without Sleep That shift is brought about by such means as giving rewards and What the Soviet Union Offers Its Workers in Place of Profit universities in the United States, in, the Soviet Union a young worker who, in an emergency went 96 hours without sleep, received the Order of Lenin, the higest public decoration. Other decorations were given—‘to workers in factories who had out- stripped of the Five-Year Plan. ,.a worker with cows who had greatly increased the production of milk, two swineherds who had worked day and night to save their pigs from an epidemic. Thus is history being re- written.” About the tremendous achieve- ments in raising the cultural life of the Russian masses Dr. Ward points out that: “More than ten times the copies of newspapers sold in the days of the Czar now find purchasers. More th n twice the number of books issued annually in the U. S. A. are published in the U. S. S. R. and the number grows with every quarter.” It is impossible in a review to point out all the good features of this book. Nor is it necessary. It is suf- ficient to mention the treatment that the book received in the capitalist press. In a recent issue of the New York Times, for instance, six import- ant books were lumped together in one review, which got less space than several single books by unknown authors. And Dr. Ward’s book was reviewed in just four sentences.
