...Manhattan last week, French Line President Jean Marie announced a five-year-plan to do so. Seven liners of varying tonnage, but none as large as the He de France, will be built in France and foreign countries. Three will operate in the North Atlantic, two between France and the West Indies, two in the Mediterranean. The Line will also build 18 new freighters. During construction the Line will bolster its fleet by trying to purchase and charter...
...proud total, 350,000 Soviet tractors rumbling out over Russian harvest fields, was announced by Moscow last week as Communists were summoned at the double to win for Joseph Stalin a spectacular, unexpected "battle of the grain." Russia's potent Five-Year-Plan chiefs reckoned without a sudden heat wave which shot thermometers up to phenomenal highs all over the southern Soviet provinces. Result: winter and spring grain ripened simultaneously instead of one after the other, the harvest rush was doubled. Plan chiefs believed, however, that they had the situation well in hand, predicted that this year it will...
...colossal scope of Bolshevik preparation for Peace was shown last week by the fact that although the Soviet Budget carries the burden of Russia's entire national economy, and is loaded with all kinds of Five-Year-Plan economic costs which private capital would carry in other countries, J.

Russia only tripled her expenditures in the same period but is still ahead of Germany. Together the Bolsheviks and Nazis spent...
...done in four years, officials of the Soviet planning commission (Gosplan) in Moscow last week had their say to the visiting editor of the New York Journal of Commerce, Dr. Jules I. Bogen. At the Gosplan he was told officially: "By the close of the Third Five-Year-Plan (1938-43) the standard of living of the Russian population will closely approach that of employed workers in advanced countries of Western Europe, and by the end of the Fourth Five-Year-Plan (1943-48) it will begin to approach that of the United States...
...original or First Five-Year-Plan involved stupendous imports of foreign machinery to establish a Soviet Economic Base. Foreign money needed to pay for this was got by selling every kind of Russian product abroad at prices exactly low enough to make the sales quick-i. e., "dumping prices." Proudly last week the Gosplan pointed out to Dr. Bogen that repayment of the short-term debts incurred to finance the First Five-Year-Plan has now almost been completed; Bolshevik credit has been sufficiently established to finance additional imports of machinery from Britain, Germany and Czechoslovakia at longterm; and, since...
