The plan for inaugurating a huge Jewish colonization undertaking in Bureya, Siberia, with a view to establishing a Jewish region there, sponsored by the Comzet, governmental department for settling Jews on the land, was welcomed by the Conference of Jewish Peasants of White Russia in session here.
A resolution adopted by the conference welcomes the plan to settle compact Jewish masses in one territory, while continuing the systematic Jewish settlement in the separate Republics of the Union. The conference is convinced, the resolution states, that the opportunity to establish a new Jewish labor life in Bureya will arouse enthusiasm and will secure the cooperation of new forces which will settle in the Bureya region, despite its distance from the present settlements.
