"LOOKING BACKWARD" ON THE WORLD,

WHAT THE SOVIET GOVERNMENT HAS ACCOMPLISHED.

RUSSIA'S TREMENDOUS EFFORT AT RECONSTRUCTION.

Mosco The New Year finds the Soviet regime at a critical juncture in its history. The condition of the rast domain under the red flag of hoped-for Communism is more strained than at any time since the conclusion of the civil wars and the liquidation of the famine.

.

A Stable Government...... The question is no longer, as in the early years, whether the Soviet system will survive. The Govern- ment in Moscow is as stable as any in Europe and a lot more stable than most. The question rather is whether it will emerge from the present period of intensive recon- struction, of prodigious strain and sacrifice, as the communized, highly industrialized nation envisioned by the Kremlin leaders.

The Communist Government has "abolished" New Year. The wheels of trade and production will not pause to signalize the expiration of The 1923 or the dawn of 1930. Soviet Union will not take stock of its situation just now. The time for stock-taking was on November 7 last when the thirteenth year of the Bolshevik revolution was usher ed in amidst great celebrations. .. But millions of individual Soviet éitizens, if only through the habit of a lifetime, will pause to look back at the terribly rough ground cover- ed in the past year and ahead; ap- | prehensively, at the territory, even rougher from all indications, that stretches before them in the new

But at least it was sup pressed effectively enough to enable the Kremlin, under Joseph Stalin's direction, to begin to put the drastic Left Programme into practice.

The Five-Year Plan.

Thus it was that 1929 saw the un- folding of the amazing Five-Year Plan of industrialization. The are year period began on October 1, 1923, but the rounded plan was not divulged until last spring. No more ambitious economic effort has ever been undertaken on so large a scale, in human history. The plan aims to accomplish in half, a decade an amount of industrialization which other nations-even a country as richly endowed by nature as the United States-took a generation or two to achiere,

and

The extreme Left programme which gained impetus as 1020 grew older affected every nook cranny of Soviet life. Religion was fought mora energetically than ever before, its meagre rights being fur ther circumscribed by new laws. The Press, the theatre, literature was censored and controlled more vigorously than any time, in recent years. Nothing the least bit non- conformist, was tolerated, whether the offender was a popular writer or a popular Communist leader. The dictatorship unquestionably be came more dictatorial in 1929,

The beginning of 1930 Ends the Left programme well started, but at a pace which will tax the Soviet regime in its every muscle and nerve. Fortunately for the Kremlin the harvest was unusually good, Sufficient grain has been collected to assure bread for the cities, which is the strongest indication of success

for the year's effort.

Foreign Relations.

In its foreign policies the Soviet Union has little to boast of. The overthrow of Amanullah, who was distinctly friendly towards Moscow, was a serious blow. The seizure of the Chinese Eastern Railway by the Manchurian war lords was more serious. Relations with Ger- many, while still friendly, are less satisfactory than they were a year ngo.
