WHAT THE USSR

TS PLANNING

FOR THE FUTURE

Without exception, the Canadian daily press and
radio, voicing the propaganda 'of the government and

big business, insist that the Soviet Union is preparing

for war. This ts the propaganda that gives plausibilt-
ty to the big lie: We must arm for defense. The other

side of the propaganda is the claim that Russia ts a.

“slave state’ with living standards #far inferior to
our own.

_ This report from Ralph Packer, the Pacific Trib-
une’s own correspondent in Moscow, provides a direct
refutation of this big lie. Parker’s report tells of
what the Soviet Union plans for the future. Other
reports and pictures on pages 2-3 of this issue tell
what the Soviet Union ts doing now. And, to round
aut the review, Charles Sims, editor of the Canadian
Tribune, writes a commentary on page 7.

opment of the USSR for

the years 1951-55, have-

been published in Soviet
newspapers.

“The Fifth Five - Year
Plan,”’ the draft reads,
“outlines a new powerful
economy of the USSR and

assures a further substantial advancement of the mat-
erial welfare and cultural standard of the peoples.
