For- est shelter-belts will arise along the South Ukrainian Canal in the area of the reservoirs, along the aqueducts, and around the irrigated tracts; they will block the way of the dry winds to the southern steppes of the Ukraine and change the appearance of these steppes. Extensive afforestation will also be undertaken in the lower Dnieper area in order to stabilize the sands in this district. Irrigation and forest shelter-belts will improve the climate of the southern Ukraine. ‘he Kakhovka Hydroclectric Station will supply electric power to hundreds of collective farms in the southern districts of the Ukraine. This will make it possible to mechanize all the major processes of production on the The HE new program of demands, T under the banner of which the millions ‘of peace partisans are prepar- ing for the Second World Peace Con- gress to be held in November, com- pletely corresponds to the vital interests of the overwhelming majority of hu- manity. All of us to whom peace is dear con- tinue to insist that'the atomic weapon and the other instruments for the mass extermination of human-beings be ban- ned. All of us are against armed interven- tion in the internal affairs of peoples, and we condemn aggression no matter where it is taking place. All of us want a universal reduction of armaments, and control over the re- duction, All these legitimate demands are dic- 584 collective farms, to lighten the labor of the farmers, and raise productivity. The machine-and-tractor stations will be equipped with electric tractors and other electrically operated machines. The extensive use of electric power in agriculture will speed the disappearance of the distinction between town and country and of the borderline between manual and mental labor. Many titanic enterprises that changed the appearance and economy of our republic were called into being in the Ukraine under the prewar Stalin Five- Year Plans and in the postwar period, by the will of the Communist Party and the heroic labor of the people. But noth- ing like the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Station and the South Ukrainian Canal has ever been undertaken on Ukrainian territory. They will be truly majestic undertakings of the Stalin era. The construction of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Station, of the dam, and the reservoir which will hold up to 14,- 000,000,000 cubic meters of water, of the irrigation canals and pumping sta- tions, of the South Ukrainian and North Crimean Canals, of the reservoirs on the rivers Konskaya and Molochnaya which will hold up to 7,000,000,000 cubic meters of water, is a great and daring enginecting and hydro-technical prob- lem, the like of which irrigation and hydro-technical specialists had never as yet attempted to solve. Only Soviet scientific, engineering, and technical specialists, educated by the party of Lenin and Stalin and inspired by the great ideal of communism, men who are dedicating all their energy to serv- ing their people, can prove equal to such a task as the solution of this problem, People —Creator By Nikolai Pogodin Soviet Writer, Stalin Prize Winner tated by reason and justice. They are clear to everyone, and they are being met with a broad response the world over, are enlisting new energetic champions of peace. Soviet men and women know that to fight for peace means in the first place to enhance the might of their own state, which like an inextinguishable beacon illuminates for the peoples of all coun- tries the road to universal peace and progtess. Is it not noteworthy that, precisely at a time when an unbridled, feverish armaments drive is under way, the So- viet Union launches the construction of hydrotechnical systems that ate to be the largest in the world and in the building of which the entire country will take part? The news of the planned construction of these projects, great structures of communism, has spread far beyond the confines of the Soviet Union. These constructions are fresh, incontrovertible evidence of the love for peace cherished by the Soviet people, who are busy carry- ing out Stalin’s great plan for trans- forming nature. The cunning slander of the enemies from the imperialist camp will be of ‘no avail, for the USSR is showing the world by its deeds in what direction the creative power of the Soviet people is pointed. This power is con- verting into reality the great Lenin's dreams and plans of the country’s elec- trification. That is the general line of the Soviet State in the battle for peace. No capitalist country can show any- thing like these construction develop- ments, which by the will of the Soviet people will be completed in record USSR INFORMATION BULLETIN Approved For Release 2004/02/19 : CIA-RDP83-00415R006800050005-6
