these Kulaks were alleged by many

Mr.. Smolka made the following state-

Their children are rapidly assini-

thorities decide that they have worked

proved themselves to be sdekuiakized' !"
Timber of course is not the only
source of wealth that is exported from

For shipping venturers into the
Northeast Passage. the starting point
is the port of Murmansk, on the coast
near the Finnish border. Paradoxicaiiy,
MurmansIS on the Arctic is Russia's
only port on open water that is ice
free the year round A branch of the
Gulf Stream accounts for that.
Even newer than Murmansk are the
port towns that have been founded on
the wide mouths of the great north
flowing rivers of Asia. the Oh, the
Yenisei, and the Lena. Here the lum-
Der steamers cali for cargo, and here

the huge Soviet armament program.
Coal near the surface is being dug. but
principally for refueling the ships that
come for cargo and the ice-breakers
that open paths for them.
The whole job of navigating on the
Siberian north coast is a difficult one,
for ice is always q menace to naviga-
ton. To scout best ways for cargo
ships to get through, airpianes based
ON shore and island stations take to the
air when ships approach. and radio

There is. even the prospect Of tourist
trade in the Arctic. Tass. official news
agency of the u. S. S. R., has announced
tour starting at Murnansk, taking IN
points of interest around Novaya
Zemlya, and returning by way Of
Archangel.
A FURTHER possible usefulness OF the
Passage is suggested by Mr.. Smolka.
In the event of European war bot
Ting up Russia within her own bound
aries, it might BE possible for steam
ers to follow the Arctic coast to Bering
Strait. thence southWardly along coasts
covered by the American and British
flags, to obtain supplies in the United
States and Canada.
On return, their cargoes would be
carried up one of the great Asiatie riv-
ers to Novosibirsk or Onnsk on the ST.
berian Railroad That would be just
about n shellproof route for at least
the most vital materials. such as GER
tain drugs and hospital supplies, and
possibly the rarer metals.
One aspect of the Soviet venture in
the Arctic that always makes the
strangers eyes pop out is the cultiva-
ton of vegetables In the Far North.
Successful outdoor crops thus far have
been principally salad vegetables such
as radishes and cabbage. and with
somewhat less eclat) potatoes. More
over, the presence Of fair numbers OF
horses and cows has necessitated the
raising of hay
One OF the factors most likely TO be
overlooked by anybody unused to high
latitudes is the very long day of the
Arctic and sub-Arctic regions. The
vegetables and hay get "a hours of sun
light every day during the greater part
of their growing season. Naturally
they grow fast and get big.
Sometimes special breeds are neces-
sary, for this very reason When the
big white radishes that Russians like
so wen were attempted Ia the North.
they all ran to leaves and produced
small. stringy, inedible roots. But
that would take the long Arctic day
light and turn it into enormous radisfes
as big around as mans leg.

Its flight to the pole-where, on

simply one more step in grandiose
scheme for conquering the frozen

That was why Russia wanted to es-
tablish a camp at the pole. Scientific
observations over a years time would
tell much about the '.weather's
kitchen where the northlands storms
are made They would also show
whether trans-polar air service
would be feasible, and would help make
possible navigation of the sea along the
Arctic coast OF Siberia.
The expedition was in the charge Of
Prof. Otto j. Schmidt The four men
who attempted to establish perma-

Shirsoff. hydro-biologist, and Eugene
Federof, n7agnetologist.
Other airplanes brought equipment,
supplies and the like TO the men on the
