Industrial proom tivlty In soviet
Russia under th« bolshevlst plan of
nationalization of industry has de­
clined to a point where complete paral­
ysis Is threatened, This information
is contained In reports made In Mow
cow of economic conditions in Itussla
made before u recent session of the
congress of delegates from councils
of national economy, trade unions aud
the Moscow soviet.
Io his report, A. Rykoff, chairman of
the supreme council of national econ­
omy. stated tliut there were 10.IMO In­
dustrial establishments In Russia when
the soviet was established. The peas­
ants' Industry la not subject to na­
tionalization, leaving 4,000 factories
which have been nationalized. Of these
2.UUU are said to be Idle. The num­
ber of workers Is said to be fewer limn
1,01X1,000, Indicating that the mauu-
fucturing Industry In Rusala la in the
throes of a crisis.
The Itykoff report «hows that Kua-
slan Industries are supplying less than
one-fourth of the needs of the nation.
and that Russia today Is living only
one-half as well as she did before the
war. Furthermore, It Is pointed out,

of skilled mechanics.

Mineral oils vary very much in their
makeup. Those of Mexico are particu­

and are therefore excellently adapted
for use as fuel. The lighter oils yield
more kerosene and gasoline. •

end of the preaeot year there will be

Nothing Is more certain than that
the supply of gasoline will not keep

shall have to look to coal tar as a
source of motor fuel. Already “ben

that plants Increase In size. He also
has revenled that the growth of a
