NEW SOVIET POLICY.
ADOPTING THE CAPITALIST SYSTEM. [Australia & N.Z. Cable Association.] LONDON, Jan. 20. The “Daily Express” Russian correspondent says the new slogan in Russia is “state capitalisation” of the mines, industry, railways and commerce, when it is expected to make a profit. Production is lining stimulated by piece-work, overtime bonuses and other “capitalistic devices.” The population of Leningrad, which fell to four hundred thousand, now totals a million. Workers’ houses are springing up like mushrooms by men’s co-operative organisations ol workers, known as artels and made up ol ten to twenty-live builders who erect the houses in record time for wages, plus a bonus., The bricklayers lay til teen hundred bricks daily. Tim final success of the new policy, however, depends upon foreign credits and the peasants, who hold the key to ex|K>rts and who arc unwilling to soil tlicir wheat in "order to improve the credits. The Soviet leaders may acknowledge part of the Tsarist debts.
