CAN'T SETTLE LAND PROBLEM.
Jmsk Government Unable to Settle
Distribution of Farms


fCOrres pcud encc Associated Press
Omsk, Nov. l2.-Thc all-Russian
government has not yet been able to
settle the all-importan; question of
the distribution Of farming land in
Siberia. An effort hns been made
temporarily to provide the peasants
with land or at least to enable them to
cultivate It until the proposed national
constituent assembly can finally dis
pose Of this veXed and complex prob
lem. The steps thus IA" taken by the
all Russiar government in this d,rcc-
ton have been intended only to meet
the eYiGencies OF the present situation.
The farmers or peasants in 1917 took
possession OF land belonging to the
state, to the church or clergy. The
government has now given them as
surance that their rights to their crops
from land thus illegally appropriated
will be recognized pending iinal 90
cis,0n as TO Who really owns the land.
The all-Russian government has an
nounced also that its soldiers Will have
the right during a ten-ycar period to
locate on public domain hitherto re-
served 70 immi2rants.
The government proposes also to
distribute among peasants private
properties and land owned by the gov
crnmeut. The purpose of these steps
is To encourage the peasants to con-
time to cultivate even the Illegally
acquired land. To protect the in
tereGts Of the soldiers drewn from the
pcasa ntry, their families will be per-
m!tted to settle on public land without
waiting for the soldier to return to his
family.
