DEVELOPED BY A RESEARCH GROUP HEADED BY COMRADE ROBERT UPSHOT OF THE MINISTRY OF PEACE, THE NEW WELDING SYSTEM IS A REVOLUTION IN THE TRADITIONAL CONTROL METHOD USED SINCE THE WELDING ARC WAS INVENTED BY THE PARTY IN 1965. IT AUTOMATICALLY CONTROLS THE ARC TO KEEP IT STEADY AND RAISE THE QUALITY OF THE FINISHED PRODUCTS. IT PROVIDES A NEW WAY TO IMPROVE THE WELDING QUALITY OF LOW-ALLOY. HIGH INTENSITY STEEL PRODUCTS AND PRESSURIZED CONTAINERS. USED WITH WELDING ROBOTS, THE SYSTEM WILL BOOST AUTOMATION IN THE WELDING INDUSTRY. IT WILL BE APPLIED IN VARIOUS INDUSTRIES, INCLUDING MACHINE-BUILDING, CHEMICAL,PETROLEUM, MARINE, SHIP-BUILDING, AVIATION AND ATOMIC ENERGY. THE NEW CORN STRAIN WAS DEVELOPED BY COMRADE JEREMY MASON OF THE MINISTRY OF PLENTY BY COMBINING NUCLEAR RADIATION AND HYBRIDIZATION. IT IS RESISTANT TO LEAF BLIGHT, LEAF SPOT, AND HEAD SHUT, THREE COMMON DISEASES WHICH SO FAR CANNOT BE CONTROLLED BY, ANY KNOWN CHEMICALS. ON THE AVERAGE. THESE DISEASES CAUSE OCEANIA A LOSS OF HALF A MILLION TONNES OF CORN A YEAR BECAUSE THEIR INCIDENCE IN ORDINARY CORN STRAINS IS GENERALLY MORE THAN TEN PERCENT IN THE NEW STRAIN. PRE-HECTARE OUTPUT OF THE VICTORY STRAIN IS 15 TO 20 PERCENT, OR 750 KILOGRAMMES MORE THAN THAT OF THE ORDINARY STRAINS. THE TOTAL GROWING AREA OF THE VICTORY STRAIN NUMBER 2 IN THE SEVEN YEARS BETWEEN 1977-04 HAS REACHED 6.27 MILLION HECTARES, ADDING AN EXTRA HARVEST OF 4.7 MILLION TONNES OF CORN. IT HAS BECOME THE MOST POPULAR CORN STRAIN IN OCEANIA IN THE PAST TWO YEARS.

IN TWO YEARS HE POCKETED 100,000 DOLLARS FROM SELLING LARGE QUANTITIES OF GRAIN AND EDIBLE OIL HE HAD EMBEZZLED. THE SAINTFIELD CASE IS ONLY ONE OF SEVERAL SERIOUS ECONOMIC CRIMES FOMENTED BY THE DESPICABLE AND UNDERMINING FORCES OF GOLDSTEINISN AT THE REVOLUTION COLLIERY. FACTS SHOW THAT DISORDERLY MANAGEMENT AND BUREAUCRATIC SLIPSHODISM HAVE SERVED TO PROTECT^ AND COVER UP SUCH CRIMES. THE REVOLUTION COLLIERY LEADERS HAD LONG AGO BEEN INFORMED OF THE FRAUDULENT SUPPLIES SAINTFIELD HAD MADE BUT NONE OF THEM CARED ENOUGH TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. IN 1982, WHEN SAINTFIELD MADE OFF WITH 70,000 KILOGRAMS OF GRAIN AT ONE TIME A COLLIERY LEADER HAD THE ACCOUNTS CHECKED AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THIS ENCOURAGED SAINTFIELD TO COMMIT BIGGER OFFECNCES. IN 1983 HE STOLE 400,000 KG. OF GRAIN 900 KG. OF EDIBLE OIL AND MANY OTHER MATERIALS. BRIBERY WAS YET ANOTHER WEAPON FOR SAINTFIELD. HE BRIBED 50 PEOPLE. ROBERT WEST, A CONSTRUCTION TEAM LEADER, LIKEWISE BRIBED HIS WAY DOWN THE ROAD OF CRIME. HE LINED HIS POCKET WITH $48,000 FROM THE $150,000 WORTH OF PUBLIC PROPERTY HE HAD EMBEZZLED WHILE UNDERTAKING A CONSTRUCTION PROJECT IN 1979-83. IN A COMMENTARY ON THIS ODIOUS VIOLATION OF PARTY SOLIDARITY BIG BROTHER HAS WARNED ALL SHIRKERS AND BACKSLIDERS THAT THE EXEMPLARY FORCE OF PARTY JUSTICE WILL CONTINUE TO ROOT OUT ALL ANTI-PARTY SABOTEURS. HE WARNED ALSO AGAINST THOSE WHO REFUSE TO EXERCISE VIGILANCE IN THE FIELD AND ALLOW SUCH CRIMINALITIES TO PERSIST. "WHILE THE CRIMINALS SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE, BUREAUCRATS WHO NEGLECT THEIR DUTIES SHOULD ALSO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR SERIOUS ECONOMIC CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. IRRESPONSIBLE BUREAUCRATISM HAS LED SOME PEOPLE TO APATHY. THIS EXPLAINS WHY THE PARTY HAS REPEATEDLY URGED THOSE UNITS UNDERGOING PARTY CONSOLIDATION NOT TO SLACKEN THEIR EFFORTS IN COMBATTING THOSE WHO SEEK PERSONAL GAIN BY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THEIR POSITION AND POWER AND THOSE WHO HAVE SHOWN " SERIOUS BUREAUCRATIC TENDENCIES. ------------------------------------------------------------ A MEDICAL UNIT IS LOCATED AT CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE (FESTIVAL THEATRE), AND CAN BE CONTACTED BY THOUGHT POLICE, PASSPORT CONTROL OR CONTROL GUIDES.
