PROGRESS IN SOVIET UNION
. - - •. LONDON, July 1. ; Since the;war began, the Soviet has .built thousands of miles of new railway s,-. including an important line to Kazakstan. The main sections of the old lines in the east are being double^ tracked." Thirty-five per cent, more building work was done in zones in the east in 1942 than in the same area irf> 1940, and this is still increasing, states a Russian publication. Hundreds of new coal mines, with many millions of tons output, have been opened since the war started, but the, Soviet, Government is still not satisfied and is pressing for further developments in the Moscow, Urals, and Karaganda coalfields. The gross productivity of labour and building workers has increased by 15 per cent, in the second quarter of last year, by 17 per. cent, in the third quarter, and by 35 per cent, in the fourth quarter—each increase relative to the previous quarter."
