here
knows
that

pay.
During
the
last
two
years
prices
have
been
reduced
not
only
on
necessities
but
particularly
on
some
luxury
Items
so
that
they

In

The
figures
in
the
central
statistical
administration's
communique
seem
to
indicate
quite
clearly
in
any
case
that:
1.
Soviet
industrial
workers
are

to
increase

production.
2.
These

as

3.

The
