SOVIET STRUGGLE

At the beginning of the present rear (writes the Moscow correspon. dent of the Manchester Guardian) the Communist party lenders awoke with something of a start to the realisation of the fact that the purchases of grain by State and co-operative organisations were lag. Far behind the advance ging so plans that a serious shortage of the city bread supply was threatened unless matters quickly took a turn for the better. The whole party machinery was swung into line to force a rapid increase in the tempo of grain purchases. To the accoin-

However, the situation in the field of gain supply was still far from satisfactory. The methods employ- ed in purchasing the grain, which in many cases amounted to requisi· tioning the peasants' surplus grain. at fixed State prices and which were further aggravated in some places by various acts of abuse and oppression on the part of the local authorities, left behind a substan." rial residue of dissatisfaction in the peasants minds. So the last pienary session of the party Central Committer, held in July, turned from compulsion to conciliation the best means of dealing with the peasants. Tise fixed prices for grain
were raised by about 15 per cent., and all methods of forcible grain collection were expressly forbidden.
