The Russian government is
eirrrying out its plan to spend,
on industrial development,- $(!,
750,000,000 in five years. The
first years expenditure is made.
The money is ready for the sec
ond year. '
E. .1. Kviring, head of the
Russian state planning commis
sion, tells .American engineers
in Moscow that Russia will sur
pass the l"n it cd States in indus
trial production.
ihat may lie enthusiastic ex
aggeration, for "It hath not yet
been shown what we shall he."
Hut is probable that Rus
sia will become our greatest in
dustrial rival. There is terrific
power in revolutionary enthusi
asm. It sweeps away cobwebs,
making everything scorn easy,
as shown in Franco when revo
lutionists overcame the armies
of Europe and frightened half
n dozen other kingdoms, includ
ing England.
However, that enthusiasm
dies out us the lenders grow

A proposal to establish the
calendar on a saner basis failed

but did get a majority, in n
nation-wide referendum among
American business organiza

Rochester, has done the greater
part.
Meanwhile, Russia has chang
ed her year without loss of time
and in a way to amaze Ameri
can labor unions, gloating over
the bare beginnings of a five
day working week.
In Russia labor works four
days then rests one day. There

effect wns received Monday by the
Winter l'enr committee.
Professor ITnrtmnn reports that
nil the pears shipped from this
section for tests huve arrived. The
fruit represents a wide range of
varieties and soli conditions, and
many of Ihe samples were shipped
oust, all under different transpor
tation methods.
A portion of the storage spaco
secured by Professor Hart man will
bo used for ripening the pears un
der conditions similar to those now
employed In the development of the
new murket In Detroit.
I'cnrB from the ripening depart
ment will be pluced on tho market
