Plans for Siberia
"The total effect of the current
five-year plan will be 70 make
Siberia proper virtually as Inn
portant to the Soviet economy as
was the entire area east Of the
Volga at the outbreak Of the re-
cent war;" the Review said. How
ever, the area will continue to
depend on European Russia for
much OF its consumer goods.
The Review defined Siberia
proper as the undeveloped region
east of the Volga and the Caspian
Sea, north of the five republics OF
Central Asia, and west Of Lake
Baikal, excluding the Urals.
The publication said it would be
wrong to assume that the prepon-
derance of Soviet industry Will
shortly be deep in Siberia. In
stead, it likened Developments
there to the recent trend in the
United States, where some 10000.
600 persons have moved to the
