The celebration Of the 18th Ami.
versary of the October Revolution
passed with extreme enthusiasm at
Kharharovsk. capital Of the Far
Eastern Region. Those which the
toilers Of the Far East gained in
building Socialism are best Of all
expressed in the following words Of
Butcher, commander of the Far
Eastern Army: I'VE fought for a
Soviet Far East under very hard
conditions. The partisans and the
red guards endured deprivation and
hunger, and went into battle poorly
clad and armed. This is the future
which we already see now. The
Soviet Union has become country
of high technique. The Soviet coun-
try makes the most remarkable ma
chimes, and occupies first place in
the production of pig-iron. For this
future we fought, won and today
confidently meet the 18th October.
A powerful coal base has been Gre
ated in the Far East. New enter
prises are commencing operations.
The backward region of the Taiga
is being transformed into an indus
trial region. From the wooden
| plough we have been transferred to
the tractor. Our achievements are
great also in the field of cultural
construction. Prior to the revolu-
ton the region had 80 elementary
schools, now it has 1850, in which
221 900 school children are studying,
$4,000 children studying in the mid
die schools. The children of the
Chinese Koreans living in the Far
Eastern Region, who under Gar
ism were almost entirely deprived
of study, have now embraced gen.
eral education, and many of them
study in colleges. All nationalities
are equal citizens of the U.S.S.R."
