JTA 1926, Aug 16 - Soviet Government Plans Jewish Republic in Siberia, Kalenin Says
President of Union of Soviet Republic Discloses Details of New Plan; Expects American Jewish Aid for Centralized Colonization in Siberia; Is Intended to Save Jewish Race from Assimilation in Slav Population, He Says
“It was stated in Moscow that American Jews have in the last 12 months contributed through the Joint Distribution Committee $2,300,000 to the colonization work. The Soviet government, besides granting the colonies a number of exemptions & privileges, besides giving them land, has poured into the Jewish colonization movement close to 1,500,000 rubles in cash & extended credits in machinery, seeds & other articles to the amount of 750,000 rubles. In view of the Soviet’s straitened finances, this liberal attitude toward Jews has provoked critical murmurings among certain classes of the peasantry."
