B—10 SOVIET MIGHT PAY ONCZARIST DEBTS ‘Powers Must Make Loans to Get Partial Refund, Says Stalin in Talk. "By the Associated Press. MOSCOW. June 30.—Joseph Stalin's record-breaking seven-hour speech fore the Communist Party Congress, oc- cupying 37 solid columns of newspaper print yesterday, has made him' more than ever the strongest political figure in Soveit Russia. The speech, as printed, touched upon three questions of vital international ! interest and importance which previou summaries had failed to reveal. These are czarist debts, bolshevist propaganda abroad and the Soviet policy respecting minority races within the Union. Concerning the czarist debts, Stalin, who never before spoke publicly on this question, declared the Soviet gov- ernment is ready to pay part of these debts, if the powers holding such claims {are willing to advance credits to the bolshevists, the government regardin, such part payments of czarist obliga- tions as extra interest upon such credits. Stalin doubtless had in mind the yelaims of foreign corporations for prop- erty confiscated during the revolution rather than the claims of foreign gov- ermnments for unpaid loans. Electric Firm Contract. The American General Electric Co., for example, some time ago concluded an agreement with the Soviet govern- ment whereby in return for a $25;000,- 000 credit advanced to the Soviets that corporation receives in return, in addi- tion to the regular interest, partial pay- ment of its claim against the holshe- vists for factories and other property confiscated during the revolutian. = Russia’s “iron man” also made a notable utterance respecting bolshevist propaganda, which is being considered abroad as a barrier against the estab- lishment of normal relations between Soviet Russia and ‘“capitalistic coun- tries,” like the United States. He made it clear that however much the United States and other countries dislike the Soviet system of agricultural collectivization, extermination of Ku- laks. anti-religious propaganda and the battle against counter-revolutionists, the bolsheviks would continue their ac- tivities unabated in these directions, because they represent the unalienable right of the Russlan workers and peasants as embodied in the Soviet constitution. Firm for Constitution. “The constitution,” Stalin added, “must, and will be rigidly observed. In order to forestall the harmful effect of bolshevist propaganda the capitalistic countries fence themselves by ul;rd\}m fi" ‘:‘11': e‘fnunzlemenm gra- clously allowing Poland, Rumania and Finlane d the honor of protecting these ! entanglements.” ‘Touching upon the question of Soviet Russia’s many minority racial elements, Stalin revealed to the lay reader for the Brst time the existence within and with- out the Communist party of a tendency on the part of certain groups to abolish sutonomous and federated national re- publics and absorb them all into one Eflt single unified Russian state with Russian tongue as the sole language. All such inclinations, Stalin declared, must be crushed as they constitute s dangerous form of ‘“‘great Russian ehauvinism.” Every one of the many Minority races within the Soviet Union, iphasized, must continue to enjoy ving its own dis- Unctive language, culture, courts, customs and individual mode of R.

PROJECT T0 GIVE STHTES PONER -5 Huge Hydroelectric Develop- ment in Connecticut River To Be Completed Oct. 1. The largest hydroelectric develop- ment scheduled for completion in the United States this year is that of the New England Power Association at the Lower Fifteen Mile Falls site on the Connecticut River. Of a capacity of 200,000 horsepower, this plant will not only be the largest hydroelectric plant brought into operation this year in the country, but wili be the second largest hydroelectric station east of Niagara ue hills of Vermont and New Ham , the so-called Fifteen Mile Falls covers a stretch in the river about 20 miles long in which there is a total drop of 320 feet. Through about 15 miles of this the river falls very rapidly, hence the name. ‘Will Create Reservoir, ‘When the continually increasing de- mand for electric energy on the New England Power Association system made necessary the development of Fifteen Mile Falls an intensive study was un- dertaken both by the engineers of the association and by geologists and con- sulting engineers. As a result of this investigation it was decided to develop Fifteen Mile Falls by constructing two dams with a powerhouse adjacent to each. An examination of the geology at the selected sites established the feas- ibility of the designs and the adequacy T course. of devel concrete were found conveniently' lo- cated and ample its for earth dam construction were aiso found at each lo- cation. The dam at the lower site, n T iies oo, " bt wope e el bm:tu the -headwater of m‘ lower reservoir, will form a second lake 12 miles long. The combined capacity of this 20 miles of artificial waterway will 1| be over 90,000,000,000 gallons. The lower lopment is nearly 2 miles above the #iouth of the Passumpsic River. The dam at the foot of the falls at that point consists of an earth dike on the New Hampshire bank of the river, a mass concrete retaining wall extending upstream and downstream along the New Hampshire River edge, with intake and powerhouse in the river channel and a concrete non-overflow section of dam on the Vermont shore adjoining the intake. The spillway is located on the Vermont side of the river and is 864 feet long, varying in height from 20 to 85 feet.
