Viborg, Fin and May 4.-Commun.

slogan of the Russian Soviet regime.
Reports Of this vast dream of Lenine

Russian hut communistic paradise
with dynamo in the corner have
reached the outside world fre-
quently during the past few months
but only recent Moscow and Petrograd
newspapers show the vast extent of
the proposed electrification of Russia,
G. S. Zinoyieff, Soviet governor of
Petrograd. in speech at that city,
announced that the scheme contemp-
lated the construction all over Euro
pean Russia and Siberia of huge
electric power plants, with total
capacity of 1870 600 horse power in
the former, ana 100000 horsepower
in Siberia. On this work he said, are
to be employed, as fast as possible, the
soldiers who are demobiliZed.
How seriously Lenine advocates
electrification is shown in one of his
recent speeches. wherein he said ::
Nor must b one regarding e ectrif-
cation The whole future of Soviet Rus.
sia depends on the consummation of
the plan. All elements Of the popula-
tion must assist in this state enter
prise. The building of electric stations
all over the country will take ten
years. Concessions must furnish the
working capital. Then communistic
Russia will be an example to al gov
vernments of Europe and Asia"
AT present, Russia has compara-
lively few electric plants.
TO further the immediate devlop-
ment OF the electrificatlon plan, elect
rical workers and engineers have, for
several months, been exempted from
the restrictions placed upon other
work-men and have Eeen given pre-

The immensity of the Russian

the fact that at the largest power

For two years this railroad, first
known as the ella Valley, Globe and
