Transcript | and a firm resolve to lose no time and to accelerate the pace of progress to the utmost. The din and clatter of industry are heard in all parts of our great Union, mingling with human voices, the sirens of factories and mills and screeches of locomotives, blending and uniting in one great symphony of labour emancipated. We are already completing the foundations of this grand edifice planned by our great teachers, Karl Marx and V. I. Lenin, and carried out by the mighty will of the working class and of its vanguard, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. We are confronted with the tremendous task of completing this edifice at all costs. To be able to do this, we need more than firm resolve and ardent desire; we must have raw material aplenty, mountains and seas of metal, coal, oil, benzine, building stone, etc., etc. Everybody knows, in this country as well as abroad, that the output of our labour in many branches of economy has increased two-and-threefold compared with the pre-war levels; nevertheless we are experiencing a shortage of everything. Iron and coal, oil and other products of our labour are still so-called "deficit goods." * How can we account for this? This is due to our tremendous uninterrupted growth, when the demand for various goods has increased a hundredfold in connection with our construction programme. Our industrial giants develop so lustily, they outgrow their garments before they have been completely tailored. Hence the ardent appeal for unrelaxing effort. But no one who is not a bickering philistine or a "right" or "left" opportunist will wax despondent on account of * Goods for which the increased demand far exceeds the supply and which must therefore be strictly rationed.—Ed. 11 |
