A small surplus of produce usually remains, and this is distributed among the farmers, free either to eat it or bring it to town for sale in the free market at any price. This is also true of what each farmer raises in the small kitchen garden tract which is allotted him. It is supposedly only large enough for his familys needs, but usually something is left over. In America commission men make the rounds of farm houses in trucks, buying surplus vegetables for resale in town. In the Soviet Union both the farmer and the commission man would get a five-yesentence, because that is exploitation. To avoid this crime, the Soviet farmer must take time to hitch up and go to market where he sells personally what he raises, and the hungry housewife may go by subway clear across Moscow to find him. The rouble-per-kilprices I translate into American dollars and cents per pound. But remember that on this same basis, our Russian war worker gets a total of $20 a week.

Still, this is June. She could get much more next October but shes hungry now. However, remember that these food prices listed above are exceptional; our $80 a month Soviet has already bought with her ration book at the government-controlle- d of the s store about food she uses and has paid only $6.50 per month for it, at low pegged, state prices. The Soviet governments problem was basically that of our own: its people were getting high war wages, but there was nothing to spend them on. We solve It partly by taxation and partly by selling our people bonds, so that after the war they mermight sell the bonds and buy normal at prices. War chandise bonds are sold In Russia, many even bear Interest. But a large proportion of Soviet war financing consists inof outright gifts solicited from and dividuals, factories, either in cash or in kind.

The government has already tried patriotic appeal; countless drives urging factories and collective farms to buy tanks and planes for the Red Army but this was not enough. There remains considerable money in the hands of the farmers who have been selling food at the fantas- tic free market prices for some time, and have been paying fantas- tic prices for second-hanclothing. The government opened a chain of clothing stores exactly like its commercial food stores, where new, stout, warm clothes, Including many luxury items, are on sale at black market prices. Thus, it takes from the farmer all he has saved from selling food ln the free market to city workers. The people do not protest the government taking over the functions of the illegal black market. They seem glad to buy these things, and count the new shops among the other blessings of this society.
