"Real Prices"

To end dispute and confusion over prices and the value of money in Russia, the Government recently stabilized the internal value of the ruble at five to the dollar. By last week this new system had settled down, and U. S. citizens found that the present "real prices" of necessities in Moscow are:

Bread 40-c- per loaf, butter $2 per lb., coffee $4 per lb., sugar 35-c- per lb. and the cheapest cigarets $1 for 20. Foreigners and Russians alike now pay these prices, established not by haphazard Capitalist supply & demand but by scientific Communist planning.
