On th6. recent Sate Loan
or) Soviet Patriotism
Discussing the recently floated 30-billion-ruble State Loon, the editorial of
4 May urges every worker. said. employee. to subscribe to the Loan "within the
limit= of 3 to 4 weeks? earuinga" (v predelakh trekhnedelnogo 1.11 mesiachnogo
zarabot?1 ), As pointed out in the CPW report of 16 May, the amount of the loan
exceeded total private- sayings in the uJSSR (approximately 222 billion rubles), and
although Soviet worke:rs usually subscribe to loans from current wages, there is
some indication that pr seur.?e is on for higher subscriptions than 113 to 4 weeks'
earnings." Reports on he progres_ of the 3ubsscri.ptions from various industrial
centers (Moscow, Ode-a3 Kaliningrad, North Caucasus and orherc) report the
rrorle.rc to be "us.anueola ly ant=eing to subscribe to the Loan and ready o "ve
ur, all 1,:Le1 r saTri.np., fa. thin! purposeN" (Home Service. 3 May)
The Soviet pr-ess comes `nl for omparat'i.vely mild criticism by PRAVDA (5 May) for
its fail, re to public-,.z adequately the "stakhanovite collective methods" of work
and for 11-mi. t i.ng thewa. iir s to the "experience of i.ndivid-ails. 11 The stress on
coll.ec t,i.ve i s probab]., ol'isi.ttent with the current general line, particularly in
a r.i.e:,u:ltu:re. where the opsue rns,ch--publicized field team (zirenc., part of the brigade)
as the b:3ckbone of rrll~ctive agriculture: is giving way to the brigade (brigada)
which is teueli large:r. a:nrl therefore less prone to manifcetations of individualism.
"They (the daily newspa ers) forget that the leading enterprises have long ago
shifted to otakhanovite rollecl.;ive methods of work. It is known that the fate of
the production program upends onl the whole mass of the workers... and the amass
of collect ere farmers i.*r 1,he collective farm."
