RUSSIAN CONDITIONS
THEORETICAL RESULTS ONLY SAVED BY PEASANTS (United Service) LONDON, Friday. A special correspondent of the “Financial Times,” who has returned from a visit to Russia, says that although in the last ten years the Russian Government has accomplished an almost unbelievable amount of theoretical reconstruction, which has cost astounding sums, it has produced absolutely nothing in the way of practical results. The Soviet's pretensions to economic progress amount to nothing more than one of the greatest bluffs the woidd has ever seen. None of its schemes so far has produced a supply of such articles as any ordinary person needs in everyday life. If it were not for the backbone presented by the ordinary Russian peasantry, who go on leisurely providing fresh capital for the national exchequer, in the shape of grain deliveries, there would be no Soviet Russia today.
