CALL FOR STRICTER DISCIPLINE
IN AGRICULTURE, PRODUCERS' COOPERATIVES
STRESSES NEED FOR STATE DISCIPLINE IN RURAL AREAS -- Budapest, Szabad Nep,
4 Nov 51
There is a need for greater state discipline in rural areas. Although
more than 100,000 farmers have fulfilled grain surrender requirements by more
than 200 percent, and the number of communities fulfilling their plan require-
ments?is constantly increasing, there are persons who constantly try to undo
the work of others. They answer appeals for production with complaints; they
speculate with grain, meat, and fowl due to the state, and try to disrupt dis-
cipline in.rural areas. Farmers of many villages may not sell their corn sur-
plus because a few are lax in surrendering crops, retarding fulfillment of com-
munity requirements.
The chief weapons in the fight for an absolutely necessary state disci-
pline are: a mass movement embracing an ever-increasing number of peasants,
and consistent application of laws and state resolutions. Just as the law
granting bonuses is applied, stringent measures also provided by law must be
invoked against the minority which considers the law inapplicable in its case.
A kulak of Homokmegy boasted of failing to fulfill his grain surrender require-
ment. He still has the grain, and has gone unpunished. The kulak talked other
farmers out of fulfilling their requirements, also. All were subsequently. pe-
nalized.
Local councils also err in application of laws, giving way to unpermissi-
ble laxity and opportunism. The president of the Bata local council issued
market shipment permits to several farmers, even though the town plan had not
been fulfilled, and open market sales not authorized. Such shipments were
improperly authorized in Bekes and Heves counties, also. Instead of the ship-
ments being confiscated, the farmers were given full credit for the shipments.
Local council officials defend this practice by claiming that punishment of
the peasants would prove detrimental to the'peasant-worker union. ,

ADVOCATES STRICTER DISCIPLINE IN PRODUCERS' COOPERATIVES -- Budapest, Szovetkezet,
10 Nov 51
According to the National Association of Producers' Cooperatives, many
producers' cooperatives are guilty of breaches of work discipline, disregaard
their planned work schedules, hinder the systematic completion of plans, ig-
nore important target dates, neglect to carry out instructions from super-
visory agencies, and condone illegal labor migration. The managers of cooper-
atives often shut their eyes to breaches of work discipline and fail to take
corrective measures, the National Association concludes.
In an effort to improve work discipline, the association has issued orders
to the cooperatives to display their work schedules in places which are easily
accessible to all members. Compliance with the work schedule is a matter of
honor for both managers and workers of cooperatives. Employment and dismissal
in the cooperatives must be governed by the provisions of the labor code. No
one may be employed without a labor book, and graduates of cooperative schools
cannot be dismissed without the approval of the National Association.
At the association's request the Council of Ministers has issued a decree
which provides that the disciplinary regulations of the association are valid
for all cooperatives and their employees. The principal aims of these regula-
tions are to strengthen discipline, to increase productivity, and to enforce
individual and personal responsibility among the members of the cooperatives.
The association also directed the cooperatives to impose severe punish-
ment on workers who violate discipline and to award special compensations to
employees who conduct themselves properly.

cordance with the directives of the Ministry of Agriculture, and only in state

shall be counted toward the plan quota of the state forests.
Violators of this decree shall be punished by a fine not to exceed 2,000
