CARELESS EMPLOYEES
For several years inefficient and careless employees have often paid with their lives for permitting raliroad wrecks. And it will not be surprising if the firing squads are even busier during the next jew months, for Kaganovitch appears determined to bring order out of the chaos which in Russia's railroad system.
It is realised in the Kremlin that transportation is the weakest spot in Russia's system of national ́defence. The danger of war with Germany is responsible in large meastre for the Government's į present determination to build up! its railroad system and introduce order and efficiency.
The weakness of the transporta, tion system. here is due to two! factors. First, the legney of rail-! wad equipment inherited from the i Tears was not farge and during the ' years of Civil war it disintegrated rapidly, Locomotives were operat- ed without repair until they virtual- ly fell apart." The Soviet Govern- i ment has not been able to build new equipment as rapidly as the old became useless. Second, the coun- try lacks a well-trained and dis- ciplined corps of trainmen and administrators.
