ABSTRACT
Every economic plan in the Soviet Union, and especially a general plan of national economy for a period of five years, must supply the clearest answer to the question as to what extent the realization of the plan will serve to strengthen the socialist elements in the economic system of the country. The development of the socialized sector in agriculture will put its impress on the entire social program for the five years. The socialist elements are, in general outline, the most important elements in the social program for the five years. Each of these elements, as well as the social program as a whole, will mark a steady advance of the socialist elements in the economic system of the Soviet Union. If the general development program may justifiably be called a plan of great works, the social program is a plan of a fully developed socialist offensive on the entire front of economic development of the country.
