Problem Of Land
Distribution Difficult
For Russ Government

Omsk, Dec. 12.-The all-Russiar
government has not yet been able
to settle the all-important question
of the distribution of farming land
of Siberia. An effort has 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 dispose of this veXed and
complex problem. The steps thus
far taken by the all Russian govern
ment in this direction have been in
tended only to meet the exigencies
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 assurance that their rights to
their crops, from land thus illegally
appropriated, will be recognized
pending final decision as to who
really owns the land.
The all-Russian government has
announced also that its soldiers will
have the right during a ten-year
period to locate on public domain
hitherto reserved to immigrants.
The government proposes also to
distribute among peasants private
properties and land owned by the
government. The purpose of these
steps Is to encourage the peasants
to continue to cultivate even the
illegally acquired land. To protect
the interests of soldiers drawn from
the peasantry, their families will be
permitted to settle on public land
without waiting for the soldier to
return to his family.
