T ese new Slav settlements - iolish, Sussian, Uzech and aomanian, —
are now followed by an entirely different populations Soviet citizens
from the far eastern regions, Mongolians and Chinese. Their presence
was reported from all vital points, located along a No?th-South line
going all through Zurope from Kaliningrad to the Black dea. these
vital points are especially: Kaliningrad itself, the 2oal-mining
aistiicts of Silesia (especially around Katowice, Klatzko and
Walbrzych), the neighboring Czech and Moravian mining centers, the
Carpatho-Ukrania, some Slovak and hungarian industrial units near
the country's borderline ano finally in Transsylvanian and Romanian
mining and industrial centers. The exact number of these Asiatic
newcomers cannot be established as yet. There exist only local
estimates and these also are rapidly chánéhg s "he new settlers are
accompanied or followed by their families. Empty homes are given to
them; in certain cases, new houses are built. They come with the
clearly mentioned purpose that they would perform industrial, mining
or strategic building work. However informants increasingly report
that they are given land, and that their settlements have nothing of
a temporary character. .his fact is clearest in Carpatho-Ukrainia,
where the new Soviet settlers come openly to replace the deported
farmers and workerSee. According to prudent estimates, there would
be up to now about 6 to 600,000 Asiatic population thus es tablished

newcomers, taken together, would amount to approximately 10 millione
But they have to replace a minimum of 20 to 30 million expelled or
deported. There is quite some speculation as to know, whether these
lacking millions will all be filled by Asiatic families ?
The meaning of the plan.
Public opinion in the West ana even leading statesmen are
not yet aware of what these changes of populations mean in terms of
present communistic strategy and in terms of future problems.
for Soviet planners, this tossing around of entire population
fulfills several purposes:
1. It is an utterly ruthless, but the fastest way of reaching the
Soviet "melting pot". What Moscow wishes is to whipe out not only
social differences, but the deeper seated traditional, regional and
racial distinctions. “uch goal can be reached in a short time only,
if people are taken out of their traditionak surroundings and placed
in a far-away and entirely different Life, with no hope for returne
No other choice is left for them than trying to adjust to the new
surroundings, to reach a compromise between the two ways of living
and eventually to mix with the local population. this is what the
Soviet leader expect will happen to the Carpatho-Ukranians or the
Balts in Siberia, to the chinese of Kirghise in Silesia etc. It is
