Russian propaganda efforts are ignored. All classes with the exception
of a few timorous capitalists, are bending their energies towards an
improvement of their own and the general we3fare. But the closest
cooperation from the Central Government is still a prime necessity

some of the unemployed in the towns - there is temporary work for
the agricultural labourers with the harvests - but utter poverty
is widespread and measures to relieve this roust be taken before

be avoided. The farm workers can count upon securing employment for
the five summer months - they can live on their daily wage; but
the reserve which they can build up in cash or kind is negligible;

people form the bulk of the population.
