THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. O, MONDAY, D¥CI FOOD SHAKEDOWN STARTED BY SOVIET Decree Says Co-operative. System Must Be Purged to Aid Production. By the Associated Press. MOSCOW, December 22.—Soviet Rus- | sia is shaking down her entire food distribution system under a decree pub- | lished today by the Central Committee | of the Communist party. Ject, beyond removal of sabotage agents | boring from within, appeared to be pro- | vision of more food for the stinted mil- licns in areas far from agricultural centers. The decree pillories the commissariat of internal supply, describing its work 8s unsatisfactory and reporting that | the “meat and vegetable trusts are | clogged with anti-Soviet agents, 48 of whom recently were shot.” It asserts that the co-operative agencies must be “cleaned out from top to bottom,” and | 1t details 100 trusted members of the | Central Committee and others to the provinces under orders to reorganize the | meat and vegetable supply system. | Incidentally the report lists the Soviet | Co-operative Society's trade turnover | for 1930 at about 12,000,000,000 rubles, approximately $6,000,000,000, which was | 66 per cent of the year’s total internal trade. The basic capital of the society | In 1930 was 1,600,000,000 rubles over and | above 996,000,000 rubles which belongs | to the workers. System Not Perfect. In spite of its achievements, however, the co-operative system ‘“has not yet sbolished bureaucracy and the spirit of private trade,” the decree asserts, de- claring that ‘the ‘“co-operatives must establish such forms of food distribu- tion as will correspond with the gen- eral problems of Socialistic construc- tion. The class principle in distribution must be enforced more vigorously and distribution of products must help to stimulate and encourage Socialistic forms of labor.” The last means in effect that only who work and give whole-souled | co-operation to the Communist poiicies | will eat. | The Central Committee indorsed the principle of the “closed shop.” an es- tablishment at which only the workers | of certain factories, unions and socie- ties are permitted to make purchases, and urged that the closed-shop prin- ciple be extended. Aid of Distribution. “Distribution,” the decree said, “must help to increase the productivity of the worker and to combat desertion from the labor front. The co-operative tem must be thoroughly purged and i staff renewed. Workers must be in- stalled instead of wreckers. The cul- tural growth of the masses and the abolition of unemployment place bzfore | the co-operative agencies the problem of gradual conversion of the food sup- ply system from individual forms to those of collective consumption. All restaurants must be placed under con- trol of the workers themselves, food must be improved, prices reduced and wasted time eliminated in order to stimulate socialization of food distribu- tion and to abolish domestic prepara- tion of meals. “Be unreconcilable to the Lefts, the Rights and to all other forms of oppor- tunism,” the decree urges. “Put your shoulder to the wheel so that the true policies of Communism may live and | that the deviations of subversive ele- ments may be crushed. We must rid | the Soviet of these elements from top to bottom. During the period of Social istic advance the party cannot recon- cile itself to opportunism. This practice not only does not support bolshevik construction, but actually encourages sabotage and ignores the most impor- tant decisions of the party.” | TREMEN'S CE | A ngton and Geo | The stock- | of the Firemen's Insurance Company ©f Washington and Georgetown will meet at | the office on Monday. v 5 1931 for | the purpose of electing thirteen direc fhe ensuing vear Folls open from 1 am.
