NEW FIVE-YEAR PLAN AIMED TO AWAKEN SIBERIA Vast Industrial Project Calls for High Speed Transformation. Thf l the **r*n<! *f s spritMi w)iirh Ulls f iht allvatHHi anil rimIn Ihw Far F.avft. wh*r* China. Janan and Rti'tia are near trip*. BY EMILY C. DAVIS Sfinf# Srte* Mill Writer NEW YORK. June ".—The .second :" r yrar plan sr? for Soviet Fcu.Ma, calls for the highest speed and the most ambitious progress in that strategic area to the north of Manchuriar—the Siberian far east. ‘ln the far eastern region the tempo of industrial development is to be higher than in all other regions of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic*.’* says a report by the chairman of the state planning commission. V. V. Kuibyshev. Far eastern Siberia has b**en an ugly duckling country for a long time. it. has universally had predicted for it a swan-like future. But the predictions were vague as to date. Now, it appears, Russia is readv to turn predictions into realities with magic speed. Calls for Transformation The Russian far east borders the Pacific in a thick irregular pattern on the map. This region, farther from Moscow than San Francisco is from New York, is to be transformed into a self-sufficient locality, according to the new five year plan. It will depend less and less upon products from other parts of the Soviet Union. To achieve th.s transformation, other parts of the Soviet Union are to send colonists. There will be an extensive, organized migration of population, says M. Kuibyshev. With man power transported into the sparsely peopled region, industrial projects will go forward rapidly, according to ihc plans. A metallurgical plant, will rise at Suchan, lo handle the iron ore and coal from nearbv deposits. Fields of grain and flax and sugar beets are to be extended. Livestock herds are to be increased. Many workers are to be kept busy at fur trapping and fishing. Plans Are Laid Coal production is to reach ten or twelve million tons by the dead line. 1937. Production of oil in Sakhalin and coal in Kamchatka is to be pushed. Timber crews will work in the forests. And because the region is not to stop at producing raw materials. but is to be self-sufficient, there will be mills and factories to turn the flax into cloth and the sugar beets into sugar and the wood into paper. Russia thus lays substantial plans to take a firmer grip on her possessions in the far east.
