FINAL REPORT OF BRITISH LABOUR DELEGATION,
The final report (following two interm reports) of the British Labour Delegation to Russia has been issued in pamphlet form. It is noted that the shortest period any member of the party was in Bussia was about three weeks; the majority spent six weeks in the country, and one remained longer to study peasant questions in the Samara Government

The main - reason given for these methods of government la the dangerous situation granted by formiga attacks, and the main, tenance and encouragement of internal conspiracy by toraign agents. An' 'overwhelmingly "strong" Government is thought to be necessary, because the mass of the people, though passively supporting the Soviet Gorero. ment are not yet inficiently "conscious" to be immune from counter-revolutionary influences.
Most accounts of Soviet Racis which we have seen in the capitalist Press of our own coun- try (the report states) proved to

With regard to industry, the report says that various mathods have been tried to stimulate pro- doction, which had fallen to *al- most a catastrophe" owing to the want of qualified workers and technicians, weak labour dis cipline of the workmen, and the abolition of pieca work.

The nutrition is no good. Revolution bas elected in the towas not only a change of poli- tical power, but a social transfor- mation. The richer classes have been dispossessed of their houses and other property, the control of large-scale industry has passed out of the hands of those who were formerly at the head of it. Large masses of the town popula- tion are now enjoying a share of the available national wealth (including house accommodation) greater than they enjoyed before. The delegates were much struck by the enlightened policy of the Soviet Government in the matter
