The Alaska ratlroao crosses the northern end of the area.
 Krug said the decision to open the area to settlement was based on land classification reports showing that the area is suitable for farming and is needed for fur ther development of the Valley.
 The Bureau of Land Management said the area is sparsely settled, partially because the original Mat anuska development in 1885 drew settlers away from the Wasil:a- Goose Bay region.
 The Land Management Bureau said in a press statement that il will be necessary for persons plan ming to settle in the region "prac tically to start from the ground up for there is no housing available and very little of the land has been cleared"

t$27.85 million) in each direction
for the period up to December 81,
1947. Under this agreement, Rus
STA has now ordered goods in Swe-
den valued at 81 million kronor
(about $8.5 miHion), while Sweden
has placed orders in Russia for 80
millions (about $11 million).
Part of the Russian export SUR
plus for the first half of 1947, the
Stockholm daily Dagens Nyheter
points out, is due to the fact that
the Russians designate shipments
from the Soviet-occupied zone of
Germany as having been made by
Russia itself.

ages in Sweden and Credit
Treaty With Russia
Sweden's credit agreement with
Russia, which also was signed in
the fall of 1916, is not included in
the above figures, but the Swedish
deliveries on credit have hardly
started. Contracts signed on this
basis between Russian authorities
and Swe s h industries now
amount to a total value of 225
million kronor (about $63 mil
lion). Only small part of the
corresponding shipments, however,
will be made during the next two
years. When the treaty was signed,
it was anticipated that the Swed-
ish deliveries during the first years
would be relatively small.
Commenting on the figures now
published, the leading Conservative
newspaper, Svenska Dagbladet,
writes: "A great many people seem
to believe that current shortages
of goods in Sweden are due to our
exports to Russia. This obviously
is not correct, AS a matter of fact
our exports to Russia during 1947
have so far been insignificant
