The entire Kalinindorf region where the Agro-Joint had practically ceased work during the period of collectivization is now in great distress and needs immediate help it was revealed today by A. Merezhin, Jewish Communist leader. Merezhin appeals to Agro-Joint to resume work in this region because it is the first Jewish region and now needs aid more than any other region. In the meantime he urges the leaders in Kalinindorf to get in close touch with the Agro-Joint staff.
Care in settling new Jewish colonies in collectives, particularly in placing them in houses of old Jewish colonists, was urged today by the Comzet. It was pointed out that the old colonists are not anxious to let the newcomers in to their dwellings that had been built with so much trouble.
