[Comment: This report presents information, from July-September
1953 Soviet newspapers, on the fulfillment of 1953 production plans
enterprises " U;;19 1oca1 and cooperative indust,rinn. Tiis report
gives a great number of increased pledges that appeared in the August
and September Soviet provincial press for the 1953 above-plan produc-
tion of consumer goods. In connection with the new consumer goods
production drive, there is noted a greater emphasis than ever on con-
struction, reconstruction, and mechanization of enterprises of local
and cooperative industries.

In August 1953, there were nearly 126,000 enterprises and shops of USSR in-
dustrial cooperatives, employing 1,865,000 men. These cooperative industry en-
terprises accounted for an important part of the total USSR consumer goods pro-
duction. For exampfe, in August 1953, these enterprises were producing 40 per-
cent of the total USSR production of furniture, 35 percent of the sewn goods,
40 percent of the knitted outerwear, 35 percent of the metal beds, more than
35 nercent of the felt footwear, and 50 percent of the carts and wagons. In
August 1953, the network of USSR repair shops comprised 45,000 enterprises. (_)
Industrial cooperatives of the ICarelo-Finnish S3R were to produce 18 per-
cent more consumer goods in 1953 than they produced in 1952 and three times as
much in 1955 as in 1953.
