Of the earlier part of the year “a counter-attack of kulak elements in the village” had been remarked upon, “expressing itself in a check to grain deliveries and a very significant accumulation of private capital” (ibid., 70).

3 In 1930 a transition was made from the agricultural year to the calendar year as the period for all plans and economic estimates. To balance up the agricultural year of 1929–30 with the calendar year 1930, a “special quarter” was inserted at the end of 1930.

2 The correction to be made here for the rise of prices is probably not as great as is sometimes assumed, since heavy industry continued to be subsidised at this period, with the aim of stabilising prices, and the cost of investment largely reflected the prices of products of heavy industry. Higher wage costs on construction-sites, however, must have been an important factor in inflating the cost of investment from 1930 onwards.

3 Summary of the Fulfilment of the First Five Year Plan, 270. Investments in the private sector for the 4J years turned out to be only 43 per cent, of the figure originally set for the 5 years. Of investment in industry 86 per cent, was in heavy industry and only 14 per cent, in light.

3 The returns showed that in 1928–9 there was a deficiency of bricks and timber (as a percentage of the demand) of 17 to 18 per cent., of glass 23 per cent., and of cement 4 per cent. At the same time, of “black” metal there was a deficiency of supplies to the extent of nearly 30 per cent.; even a top priority like transport only receiving 87 per cent, of its demand (and handicraft production only a half). “White” metals, despite a substantial import of them, were in short supply to the extent of 25 per cent. (I. G. Turovsky in Plan. Khoz., 1929, No. 12, 35–6.)
