Thus the reports Dallin presents of black marketeers diverting from legal channels vast quantities of supplies, and hence undercutting Communist control of the planned economy, do not jibe with reports which Dallin concedes to be true of rapidly expanding officially-controlled production. Russia, to be sure, presents the same "seller's market" conditions that prevailed in the United States during war, but these conditions did not undermine the United States economy, and it is difficult to conceive of their undermining Russia's especially in view of the tighter controls and much sterner repressive measures available to the Russians...

Again, in 1920 the fledgling Russian nation was weak; now, the strength of the Soviet system and the tension current in international relations present us with a sustained crisis that may last at least a decade...
