By LOUIS F. KEEMLE United Press War Analyst SOVIET RUSSIA has introduced ‘a new defense weapon in modern warfare. She has moved her industries and salvaged an important part of them from the invader. This ranks as an achievement only second in importance to the stand made by the Soviet Armies. A statement by the British istry of economic warfare declares that Russia has succéeded in establishing key industries east of Volga and has some already in production. German occupation of most of Western Russia and the Ukraine might have crippled production, enriched German owever, the

Under the third five-year plan, industry was developed in provinces east of the Volga and in the Urals. Sites were prepared and plans made for shifting machinery and skilled workers from the west when invasion came. The plan apparently worked. According to e British ministry, Russia’s increased productive capacity next year should about make up for what was lost in the invasion, with the addition of essential supplies from the United States and Britain.

An example of the Russian’ method was given in a dispatch to the newspaper Pravda from Mariupol. It said: : “The principal factories were evacuated, but some plants continued to’ turn out defense goods when the enemy was: at the city limits.
