A NEW POLICY
THE SOVIETS AND STOCK
PRIVATE OWNERSHIP,
LONDON, 28th March. _ Finding that a heavy mortality' in cattle and horses still continues under its Socialistic f arming scheme, the Soviet has reverted to private ownership in stock.
The Communist. Central Committee has publicly disowned its former policy of seizing for communal. use cows, sheep, and other live stock belonging to peasants, on their joining the coUective farms, says the Moscow correspondent of the "News-Chronicle."
Officials responsible for confiscating the animals are now liable to expulsion from the Communist Party. The decree repudiates the Socialist policy and orders officials to help the "cpllectivised" peasants to buy live stock for their own exclusive property. Probably alarmed by the flight of peasants from the villages, the Government wants to conciliate them on the eye of the spring sowing. The incentive of private ownership, it is expected, will result in the welfare, of the animals, which perish through lack of care under the Communist farming scheme.
