The Jewish colonists have abandoned their resistance to entering the collective farms and are now joining them more willingly since the collectives receive better provision. At a meeting of the Ozet today reports were given that showed the collectivization of the Jewish colonies is going on more rapidly notwithstanding the resistance of the Jewish kulaks. The Soviet agronomist theoretician, A. Baturinsky, who is a member of the Ozet’s praesidium, demanded that no fight be conducted against the Jewish kulaks because “there are no kulaks among the Jews. His demand, however, was termed by the meeting chauvinism and right heresy and was rejected.
