The [great 300-mile yellow sticam, oncy Rus- sia’s greatest maritime highway, no longer courses its winding way to the sound of filshermen's songs, the churning of the wheels of great ex- cursion steamers, or the sirens of heavily laden cargo boats. The hundreds of villages which drew their life {rom the river are melan- choly, spiritless places, for the people not only are faced with a wheat famine this year, but their fishing business, which is their chief support, is all but dead. ‘Where in pre-war days the Volga produced two billion pounds of fish slowly only one-tenth that quantity. This is no fault of the river, but of the government to exploit it properly. ‘T'he government at first nationalized finding that a failure, it restored the fishery enter- prises to their original owners, © But the owners have found the govern- ment taxes too onerous and many of them have abandoned their business altogether, Only 70 of the 800 fisheries which formerly operated.at Astrakhan, the great teviar depot, have resumed their activities, But it is in the striking decrease in the number of excursion and car- go steamers that one mnotices the most significant change in the Volga.

' In | every bend and inleet in the river the visitor sees scores of abandoned ex- cursion steamers slowly sinking to the bottom. The few passenger vessels still on the river arc well-equipped, but they are patronizel almost entirely by Russians of the proletarian class, for there are few foreigners in Rus- sia, and members of the old intel- lectual regime have no money to make such trips. One of the most pathetic scenes I‘almuz the whole course of the river qare the forests of abandoned fishing boats, whose slender masts, pointed toward the sky like huge fingers, secm to be calling to heaven to wit- negs the death of their ancient and respected industry.
