Moscow, Dec. 28. ?The all-Russian
Soviet congress at its session
yesterday heard reports concerning
the financial situation tares and industry,
to which questions the variolas
government departments are j
gi"ing much attention because of *
re nt events.
M. Sokolnikoff, the acting commissar
of finance, was the principal
speaker.
He asserted he was not prepared
to present the budget for 1923, because
of the unstable condition of <
the ruble and declared that the de- 5
preciation of the ruble and the c
budget deficiency had necessitated
a further issuance of paper money ?
with the result that < the currency ]
had not yet been stabilized. c
As one of the means for over- i
coming the deficit, M. Sokolnikoff c
recommended a change in the tax t
systean, asserting that he thought it c
best to shift from a tax to a mone- t
tary .basis. He suggested that the *
change be brought about gradually ?
so as to prevent confusion and s
hardships among individuals. c
M. Stalin, commissar of national
minorities, urging unification of
the allied republics, announced that
curtailment of the Soviet army to
600,000 men had already begun.
He asserted, however, that owing (
to the fact that there still was t
A J- .1 r
uaiigci ?l\jui UUk^lUC allaCA UecaUbtf *
of unsettled conditions Russia <
should have a strong, unified army <
for protection. ' t
He asserted that another cause 1
calling for unification of the *
Soviet republics into a single 1
socialistic federation was the eco- (
nomic situation, inasmuch as nearly 1
all of Russia's resoarces had been *
exhausted. I
The small autonomous republic's,
he said, could not exist without *
Russia proper and on the other
hand Russia could not satisfactorily
re-establish her national life without
their combined support.
The present financial condition
of the country necessitated unification,
he asserted.
There was no opposition to the
unification proposal and it was suggested
that a special congress be
called to make the plans a reality.
To give an. idea of the situation
confronting the country as a result
of the ruble's depreciation, the
commissar said that last January
seventeen trillion paper rubles were
in circulation, while at the present
time tne total was i,?uu trillion.
L. Bogdanoff, chairman of the
supreme economic council, reported
upon the state of affairs in industry
and commerce which he
said had shown good results justifying
the new economic policy.
Commerce, Logdanoff said, had
suffered heavy losses because of
lack of capital and the unsettled
conditions of the currency.
The speaker asserted that private
capital is taking small part in production
and that the number of
factories leased to private enterprise
and those being nationalized
were insignificant. He offered resolutions
urging attraction of foreign
capital for the national industries
which, he sai the government
cannot establish by Its own means.

Baker of Lowndesville died

PASTOR OF METHODIST
CHURCH MAKES APPEAL
Next Sunday is the last day of
the year. In this year God has graciously
blessed our church. The
preaching services nave been well
attended. There has been a gratifying
increase in the Sunday School
enrollment. The women's work has
done exceedingly well. The church
is more thoroughly organized than
hitherto. These things should be
encouraging to ua. We must strive
to honor God by doing greater
things next year. We must take a
forward look and press toward
higher ideals of accomplishments.
We trust that every member of the
Methodist church will be in his
place next Sunday morning at 11
o'clock. A subject of vital interest
to. the-fchtir6h will fbe discussed.
