Manawatu Herald TUESDAY, JUNE 7, 1921. COMMUNISM’S FAILURE.
FOLLOWING the recent announcement by Lenin of,a modifioation of his views, a representative of the Paris Journal in Koine interviewed Vorovsky, the Bolshevik trade emissary to Italy. Reminded ol' Lenin’s declaration, Vorovsky said: — It is (rue. The time IV complete Communism, not even that or which Karl Mnrx dreamed, has not yet come. Our experience has shown it. The concessions that we have laid to make to the peasants in giving them liberty to' sell the greater part of their produce constitute a step backwards. There is no doubt about that. Those concessions have been imposed by circumstances. Communism would like to nationalise all the means of production and exchange. Thai is to say, the State, by reciprocity, ought to be in the position to distribute on its side to the producer "all that is necessary to him for his existence and for his work. Now, in Russia at the present moment, the State has nothing, or almost nothing, to distribute; it has,nothing but salt and petrol. We have made an experiment on too vast a scale.
