Last week the old-line generals of Spain showed signs of banding together once again to repel an invader of their ancient rights and privileges.

But as the First Five-Year Plan gave way to the Second, the Second, less publicized, to the Third, as Stalingrad grew on the Volga, Sverdlovsk on the site of the Tsar's execution, industrial life moved as swiftly as the political life of the State. The 37,000 plants that were nationalized by the end of 1920-two-thirds of them employing fewer than 15 men each-gave way to 61,000 large-scale, State-owned, State-operated industries.
