The Five-Year Plan: An Audit
WILLIAM HENRY CHAMBERLIN is one of the best
authorities on soviet Russia. His pooks are regarded
as reliable and free from prejudice. His knowledge of the
lectures which he recently gave
more dispassionate than either
bxUhe experiment or of Will Durant whose hurried obserya-
lions inaae Julia a Dllier xuc. ua cunmmmami. wus uua nM
inton therefore to Chamberlin's ' article 'The Balance
Sheet of the Five Year Plan"
miATerlv of "Foreiim Affairs".
. The five-year plan aroused
and hope in Russia and foreboding and dread in otner na
tions who feared either that a conspicuous success would
commend the communistic system to their own peoples or
that Russian industrial development would result in dump
ing of products on a vast scale. Certainly none of the fears
of the outside worldproved well founded; and the hope and
dream of the commissars in 1928 have fallen, far short of
accomplishment. - ' -
. Conceived for the joint agricultural and Industrial de
velopment of the country on a wide , scale, the plan in, its
practice is tnus aesennea Dy namoexun:
Agriculture has been sacrificed to industry; while the un
mistakably rapid large-scale industrial construction which has
been achieved has been at the expense of an equally unmistak
able deterioration in the general living standard.
It is true that the country has been dotted with new
industrial cities and big factories; but efficient operation of
the plants has not yet been attained. In the oil, tractor and
machine-building divisions the goals have been exceeded;
but in iron, steel and coal production the results have been
far below expectations. The quantity of the factory output
has been increasing rapidly, though quality is everywhere
deficient. .
The great failure has been in agriculture. Fifteen mil
lion peasant households have been organized into collective
farms and many state farms were created, but the cereal
nroduction has declined. Chamberlin observes:
r "The stimulus ot private ownership ot land is a tremend-
ously strong one In agricultural pursuits; and so far, despite
much experimentation. It cannot bo said that s satisfactory sub- .
stltuto has been found. The process euphemistically described
as liquidation of the kulaks' which involved the economic ex
termination of the moro prosperous four or five Jtereenrot the
peasantry, is also bearing bitter fruits."
Food shortasres have been continuous' The decline In
the number of animals in the flocks and herds has cut. down
the meat supply in the cities. Chamberlin comments:
, "The five-year plan has gone definitely awry In the com
. plicated sphere of prices, costs and wage-scales. The original
plan prescribed a steady-rise in money-wages, to be accompanied
by an even greater increase in real wages as sv result of a re- -v.;
duction in the cost of living. The process of Increasing money
wages has gone ahead even faster than the plan foresaw; and
it would be easy to create a misleading impression of a rapidly
I rising standard ot living "by merely citing money wage increases
without mentioning the highly important tact that the purchas
ing power of the ruble has been dropping much taster than the
wages have been rising. . .There can bo no reasonable doubt. In
the light of such obvious facts as the increasingly scanty allot
ments on ration cards, the fantastically high prices which pre
vail in the open markets, the execrable quality and scant va
riety ot food in almost all the cheaper eating-places, and the
- complete lack of such simple things as tea and sugar -in many
agricultural districts, that the great majority of the soviet pop
ulation la distinctly wore off.
, was before the plan was initiated..
Some people have hailed
to the virtue of "planned economy". But Chamberlin says:
, . "Accurate and balanced planning had extremely little to
do with such industrial progress as Russia, has achieved dur
ing the last few years. Some of ther miscalculations which, wers
made both in laying out the original plan and in executing it
were so glaring that if the functioning of the soviet economic
; system had depended upon precise fulfilment of the original es-
v timates a very negative verdict would have been necessary. . . .
. Unless some country , desires to adopt the soviet system lock,
' ., stock and barrel. . '. the planned economy that is essentially
r: a part and function of the communist dictatorship perhaps ot
ters more scope tor study than for imitation.-.
Finally these are the problems ahead for Russia as it
launches its second five-year
First, the restoration of
Second, is the training of executives, engineers and
trained workers who can operate efficiently the big factor
ies that have .been built. -"
Third, how to maintain a satisfactory balance of pay
ments in international trade in the face of contracting mar
kets and falling prices which - have prevailed during the
world crisis. "" J
Instead of accomplishing the industrialization of Rus
sia in five years or; in ten years, Chamberlin thinks it will
take most of the present century; so the outside world need
have no fear of immediate submergence.

OUR DISCOVERT of an anu-toxis
for diphtheria and a similar treat
ment of scarlet fever have gone fat
towards krwerlng the death rate of
children. No one wul deny that with
better care of measles, chicken pes
and other diseases of childhood, the
death rate has been greatly do-,
creased. .But bow. comes the tm-r
comfortable statement that the num
ber of deaths caused by diphtheria In
certain locahttes has increased with,
in the past year.
Te what can we attrQmte this la-
ereaset - It Is because there has been
a de unite decrease In the number ot
ihadren receiving the immunization
treatment of diphtheria. "This la in
toed vnfortunate, because diphtheria'
Is a disease that can be prevented.
' Every child should be given this
protection. It Is a simple procedure
and administered without pain or
discomfort, It every chQd would be
tamnunlxed from diphtheria when he
reached the age of nine months,
diphtheria would soon become as rare
a disease as smallpox.
Dinatkerla "Carrisrs"
X am confident that if all mothers
realized the grave danger of diph
theria they would not hesitate t
take Immediate steps te protect their
children. Of course the children are
sate If they are net exposed te the
germs of the disease. But when and
bow that exposure may take place Is
something we cannot foretell.
Diphtheria germs are present
everywhere. They grow In contam
inated mule They are found on soiled
cups, drinking fountains, " pencils.
Dsns, forks, spoons and other ob
jects soUed by persons suffering from
this disease.
Another danger that we must
guard against la that of Infection by
the so-called diphtheria "carriers''.
Diphtheria carriers are persona who
are perfectly wsU themselves, but
harbor the diphtheria germs,
From what I have said yew wul
agree that It Is practically Impossible
to guard your child from the germs
of diphtheria, . Unfortunately, it la
impossible te determine accurately
when these germs are present. But
the chad can be protected by diph
theria inoculations, it confers -im

The injections are safe and no
mother should be alarmed about this
procedure. The treatment Is given
In three Injections at weekly Inter
vals. Infants may receive It as early
as the ninth month.
I cannot over-emphasize the . Im
portance, the real necessity of taking
the Inoculations for protection
against diphtheria. The decrease tn
the number of children who receive
the immunization treatment may be
attributed to the present economio
situation. But this Is no excuse. If
