(Received Oct. 11. 9.30 p.xn.) LENINGRAD, Oct. 10,
Reporting to the Soviet executive on the past ten years’ economic progress. Ivuibyshi, chairman of the People’s Ecouomic Couiicil, points out that the Government has specially given attention to the development of industries. Such machinery was non-existent during the Tsarist regime. The Soviet had brought- up the electric capacity from 780,000 kilowatts in 1913 to 2,100,000 in 1927, increased the oil output- 30 per cent., and was now producing generally 20 per cent. Plans for the next five years aim at 180 per cent, increase in machine construction, 28S per cent-, electrical, 19S per cent, chemical, and 10 per cent, agricultural, simultaneously increasing the number of workers 24 per cent, and their wages 45 per cent. —A. and N.Z.C.A.
