SOVIET INDUSTRY
RECENT PROGRESS. “PURE SWINDLING.” TRICKERY RESORTED TO. (United Press Association—By Electri# Telegraph—Copyright). (Times Cables). Received September 26, 8.55 a.m. LONDON, Sept. 25. The correspondent of the Times at Riga states that at a conference of the Soviet’s Supreme Economic Council, M. Sokolovsky, the official spokesman, described the recent apparent progress in Soviet industrial production as pure swindling. The factories, he stated, had merely responded to the Government’s demands by sacrificing quality to quantity. M. Sokolovsky declared that 50 per cent, of the agricultural machinery produced in Russia had proved useless. The textile factories increased the production of cloth by diminishing the width and weight. The match factories decreased the number of matches in each box by 25 per cent. ... Other industries resorted to similar tricks.
