RUSSIA’S PROBLEM
DIMINISHING CHOI’S
(United Press Association—By Klectrie Telegraph- Copyright).
LONDON, December (i
According to tho “Times” Riga erorespondent., I’ykofl siai.ed: “The Russian people do not realise llic tremendous menace hovering over our industrial plans,” giving the Communist Conference a most depressing picture of conditions in agriculture. 'The ohiel trouble is population increases, while cultivation diminishes especially the production in the grain. The area ol grain has decreased ten pgr cent and compared with the pre-war the average yield has decreased eight per cent. .Meanwhile the population rises three million annually, thus the average prewar harvests gave twenty-live per cent more grain per head than to-day. The area increased fifty per cent, yet tho total crops diminished. There is a danger of a rupture between agriculture and industry running our whole industrialisation programme.
