The erstwhileextreme concentration of attention on the Volga-Don Canal has been
considerably reduced except in the Ukraine where it is still heavily publicized.,
Usual heavy publicity also is accorded to Air Force Day which this year coincides
with the opening of the Canal (27 July). Railwaymen's Day (2,8 July) gets little
attention beyond the traditional talk on that occasion by'the Deputy Minister of the
Railroad industry.
The output of agriculture has been growing in volume and intensity, as the harvest-
ing area is expanding northward from the Ukraine to the southern oblasts of the
RSFSRO Official attention is now concentrated on speedy harvesting, scheduled
grain deliveries to the State, and prevention of grain losses. Soft-pedaled are
a variety of lesser agricultural shortcomings such as inadequate farm-building
construction, lagging rural housing program, insufficient care; of livestock, and
so forth. Discussion of fodder, procurement,'hitherto a target of frequent
criticism; is now confined to a comparatively small area., mostly in Kazakhstan.
The chronic inefficiency in the utilization and maintenance of farm machinery still
claims considerable attention.
Much of the discussion of Party activities appears in the context of agricultural
propaganda. There are scattered references to the familiar lack of "intraparty
democracy" (hutripart ynaya demokratia), aversion to criticism and the "family-
circle atmosphere",(semelstvennost), which are said to breed corruption, nepotism,
and an aeaoot n'tof related anti-State activities.
