U.S.S.R. WITH SELF-RULE
?And if one compares with what U.S.S.R. has been
able to do, the difference is remarkable.
The total number of workers and employees in
Soviet Industry, trade and agriculture has grown,
since 1919, nearly three times, from 11| million to 32
millions. Women represented 45 per cent of all indus-
trial workers in November 1940. The urban popula-
tion has increased from 26.3 millions in 1926 to 55.9
millions in 1939.
In U.S.S.R. the 1939 census reveals that, of a total
population of 170 millions, workmen in towns and vil-
lages (including family members) were 55 millions
or 32.2 per cent. Non-working population was hardly
0.04 per cent. Employees formed only 17*54 per cent.
