Cancer, the committee reported,

YEARS WORK
GOES FOR
NAUGHT
By GEORGE KIToHIN
CHAPTER XII

Moscow had decided to
transfer all hands to new
project, the construction Of
the White Sea Canal, 'Belmor-
story" connecting the Gulf
of Finland with the White
Sea. One hundred and fifty
thousand prisoners were to
be employed there and the
canal was scheduled to be COM
pleted in $50 days.
Ali the prisoners Of our
penal camp were to be sent
to the canal, as well as all
prisoners from the ~Svirsky
and the solovetsky camps.
This large number Of prison
ers was to be augmented con-
siderably by additional trans
ports from the oGPU prisons.
The construction of the canal
was rated as a matter of the
very first Importance and
Hogan himself, the head of all
penal camps, took charge OF
the work.
Just as suddenly as the railroad
construction work had been re-
sumed a little while earlier, it was
now terminated. Columns Of pris-
oners marched from all work posts
to Penug station. The order for the
transport of man-power was fol-
lowed by another order, instruct
ing that all food supplies, cloth
ing, tools and equipment be
shipped to the new penal camp,
Belmorstroy.
And then came an order to dis
mantle the 20 kilometers Of rail-
road track which had been COM
pleted, and to ship the rails and
ties to Belmorstroy at once. This
meant nothing else but that Mos
COW was abandoning the idea of
completing the Syktyvkar-Penug
railroad line. Tens Of thousands
Of prisoners had worked on this
line for two and a half years, IS
million roubles had been expended
and the railroad was half com.
pleted.
The new decision meant that
the results of all labor and Is
million roubles were to be Scrapped.
But why bother about such trifles
as this? The canal was more i'm.
portant, the canal had great eco
nomic significance. Therefore let
the railroad perish and long live
the canal! The usual occurrence
was again repeated. The Bolshe-
vikS were reaching out for new
achievements and scrapping the
old before they were completed.
Send Protest
The administration which had
always executed all Moscow orders
with military promptness, hesi-
tated for the first time. The
idea Of sacrificing all this labor
and the Is million roubles ex-
pended made them think twice.
Finally our commanders sent a
long code telegram to Moscow
pointing out the inadvisability Of
the proposed action. The Komi
territory was also aroused. The
long promised and much needed
railroad was to be taken away
from it.
The answer to our telegram
came promptly. Moscow demanded
the immediate execution of its
orders and warned us that any
delay would be punished by the
board Of the OGPU. The work of
dlsmantling the railroad line began
that very ening.
I made my computations from
all incoming reports and daily sent
an urgent telegram to Moscow
giving details of materials shipped,

in 1884 the United States ex-
ported $91,000,000 more in goods
to Japan than it imported from

This change was brought about
