Population of “Entire City Deep in Volga Steppes
A >
Produ s Munitions for Russian Army; Part
0 Machinery Came From Donets. By A. T. STEELE
Nov. 12.—A Red Army colonel took me :
e grassy Volga city whose entire population
steppes to see is engaged in the production
of .munitions for the Russian Army. For miles we motored through black earth country and slithered over black mud roads without seeing anything but
stubble fields, rolling pasture land and occasional trucks and|
camel carts loaded with cabbages.
I was beginning to wonder; hat kind of wild goose chase had embarked upon when "we, crossed a height to find _ spread ‘before us a fairsized city studded ‘with chimneys emitting fumes and mult
colored funies. Here, ‘the colonel said, was the answer to. the c aim that the Russians could not transfer ma-| -chinery from war areas to the rear.
‘| Groves of, Smokestacks
. We drove through groves _ of smokestacks, over pleasant streets lined with dormitories and workers’ houses and came to a halt before the biggest plant in the town. There the Russians were ‘making high explosives and artillery shells with as-sembly-line methods borrowed from the United States. There were really two arsenals in one. ‘The “main plant had been * there for years. But a féw weeks before one of the munitions works evacuated from the Don Basin was - brought in in pieces, annexed to the original plant and hooked to‘ the same powerline. Already it is operating full blast in its new location. That is the way many of these Russian factory transfers have been made. Speed is all important. By amalgamating dismantled factories with existing plants, it is possible 1 ‘avoid a vast amount of new ding and to ve weeks of grecious time and, it As claimed, get good results. At a railway siding nearby artil-
lery shells from one of the assembly lines were being loaded into freight cars. . The conveyor . belt carried the boxed munitions to a platform, in endless, closely procession. We reckoned shells were coming out at of about 30 per minute and that by no means was the plant's whole production. The workers were mostly rosy cheeks peasant girls, gay ‘in their ored kerchiefs. ie a belts, they performed their appointed tasks in. the job of assembly - with : cheerful efficiency. They handled shells and stowed them into steel cases with the same nonchalance as if they had been making eream puffs. yi

their hazardous work. & We were greeted at the plant by 31-year-old Managing Director Sergel Chekotikin, a cleancuf, blueeyed, enthusiastic, young engineer, who already +is superintending, an establishment comparable with the du Pont works, with thousands of workers under him. He showed us through the plant, covering many acres, and between shops kept asking why in the name of humanity Britain and America did not give speedier and more substantial assistance to the Soviet Union: “that is something all our
workers want to know,” he told us.

The plan, as presented by Daitz, provides for an economic set-up by which Germany alone will own and operate all key armament.
The first purpose of this is military and would prevent conquered countries ever again from rising in armed rebellion against the Nazis. But it also has a broader’ industrial significance bearing directly upon the economic Sttsture of the Americas,
