RUSSIAN GRAIN
PROBLEM FOR THE SOVIET.
THE SETTLING OF FAMILIES.
(United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) LONDON, December 2. (Received Dec. 3, at 10 p.m.) The Riga correspondent of The Times reports that the All-Russian Council of Agricultural Commissars has decided to transport 2,000,000 persons, comprising 360,000 families, from Europe to Central Siberia, the Far East, and the TransCaspian. Half a million will be settled on collective farms, and the remainder will be given a chance of individual farming. Realisation of the scheme will occupy five years, and officials optimistically estimate that by 1933 Russia’s grain problem will have been solved.—Times Cable.
