Of the 1,040 Jewish householding colonies in the Odessa region 800 are already collectivized, it was reported today. The Jewish colonists show less resistance toward collectivization than the non-Jewish colonists. The same report declares that of the 82,000 cows in the Odessa region 42,000 have been slaughtered by the opponents of collectivization but none of the Jewish colonists have been doing any of the killing.
