This indicates a substantial re serve in store, but also reveals a certain official nervousness' regard- ing next harvest. The facts seem to be as follows:-After the grave crisis last autumn and early winter, due to the refusal of the peasants to sell their grain at price the Soviet could afford to pay, this resistance was finally broken in February and March by launching 00,000 tough Communists upon the countryside under direct orders of 'their own great chiefs, each of whom was made responsible for A VLA grain belt, Stalin himself taking Siberia, where more than 3,000 Kulaki, or rich peasants, were or reated on the elastia charge of anti- Soviet speculation.
