MIGRATION OF COLONISTS IN RUSSIAJHALTED Germans Ordered Back to Homes to Relieve Congestion. ISU United Press MOSCOW, Dec. 6.—Soviet authorities have inaugurated measures to halt at its source the mass migration of German colonists, who desire to make new homes in Canada and South America, but who have been unable to arrange for passports. Immigration difficulties have dashed hopes of thousands of the colonists to migrate to America and, although some have departed, many have been ordered back to their former homes to relieve the congestion of temporary settlements in the Moscow suourbs. Scenes Are Pitiful Scenes of anguish and blank consternation were enacted in the bleak, muddy suburbs of the Soviet capital when the news spread among more than ten thousand peasants that they would be hustled back to their broken homes, mostly in Siberia and some in Crimea, the Volga region and the Caucasus. Some of them, with wives, children and the lew woildly belongings they wished to take with them to the new world, had been waiting for months. The colonists themselves are bewildered by the development. They had been given to understand that friends in Berlin and in Montreal were negotiating for the necessary foreign visas. It had been announced, too, that the Soviet government had agreed to give them passoprts, merely exacting the 220 ruble fee. • Voice Resentment Sentiment among the colonists naturally is directed primarily against the Soviet officials. They voice resentment and astonishment that the German visas were not forthcoming more promptly, thus giving the Moscow authorities justification for sending them back. A few among the German peasants, despite their bad plight, feel that Moscow had little alternative in the matter. The Soviet capital and Its environs are overcrowded seriously; the food supplies in the suburbs are limited and carefully planned to last for the winter.
