The major significance of problems of further development of the science of economics in the period of the comprehensive building of communism has been particularly emphasized in the Draft Program of the CPSU. These problems are attracting the attention of broad strata of Soviet society: active Party members, scientists, economic administrators and the personnel of the economic services. In the last number of our newspaper, we published an article by G. A. Prudenskii, Corresponding Member of the USSR Academy of Sciences, on the problems facing the science of economics in mobilizing unused production potential. Continuing our discussion of this theme, we publish an article by A. N. Efimov, Doctor of Economic Sciences, devoted to problems of organization of scientific economic research in connection with pressing problems of national economic planning.
