...coal, one of industry's most vital factors, was during the first nine months of 1937 not only definitely below the 1937 Plan figure but also below the production figure for the same period in 1936. The same was true of petroleum, copper and machine tools. On the broad economic front Soviet production is rising, as indeed Tsarist industrial production rose spectacularly in the decade before the Revolution, but Soviet fulfillment of the Plans as a "system of planned economy" or a "planned economic order" cannot be found by neutral economists in Moscow-each of whom...
