Into the world's vocabulary and stock of notions restive Russians have injected "kulaks," "FiveYear Plans." "Ogpu" and State-sponsored "Godlessness." Last week the Soviet Union was busy winding up 1935 with Russia's most recent and most sweeping innovation since the so-called "liquidation of the kulaks" and "fulfillment of the First Five-Year Plan."

To transform drudgery-begrudging serfs into enthusiastic labor "shock-troops"' might seem a big enough ambition, but U.S.S.R. plans go deeper than that. The Communist gospel is in truth a religion-a religion that teaches its adherents a new morality, and no good Communist is happy till he gets it. Most U.S.S.R. novels have been propaganda for the Communist State; Author Romanof's is propaganda for the Communist Individual...
...Planned Economy" is the Soviet period from Stalin's triumph over Trotsky until now. The point is not that Russia adopted a "FiveYear Plan." The point is that, spurred by Josef Stalin, Russians have pursued the socialist line of their revolution and tried to bring every function of the national life-from tractors to abortions-under the regulation of a Planned Economic Order. Its basic concept is not one but an endless series of Five-Year Plans, stretching off into remotest future. Jan. 1, 1933 is the date set for completion of the Five-Year Plan about which everyone...
