...coal beds totaling an estimated 670 billion tons. There are another 500 billion tons at Kuznetzk, producing 20,000,000 tons a year. Within 100 miles of Kuznetzk there are an estimated 500,000,000 tons of iron ore. In 1912 the total commercial output for the Novosibirsk Region was $33,000,000, and the products were mainly agrarian. In 1937 the total was $533,000,000, and the products were mainly industrial...
...applauding members of the American Institute of Architects in Detroit's Hotel Statler this week knew that Albert Kahn's contribution toward the defeat of the Axis powers had been greater than that of many a general.

Albert Kahn, 73, father of modern factory design, is the world's No. 1 industrial architect...
...Novosibirsk (2,000 miles east of Moscow) was a primitive country town of 70,000. Today it is a thriving city of 500,000, known as the "Chicago of Siberia." Siberian iron and steel production (chief centers: Novosibirsk, Komsomolsk and Stalinsk) is estimated to be already as large as Japan's, and new mills are going up in scores of localities.

Through scientific farming, peasants are now growing wheat as far north as the 67th degree. In the Novosibirsk area, one of the richest in Siberia, cultivated acreage jumped from 3,500,000 in 1913 to over 10,000,000 in 1933. On each of the 6,000 collective farms in this region there is an average of three dairies, with 8.5 head of livestock per family...
...Europe. The Ural Freight Car Building Works in Tagil produced 120,000 two-axle cars in 1939-as many as were made elsewhere in all Russia. There have been many conversions: the Tagil Car Works is now producing military vehicles; the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant now makes tanks; factories in Novosibirsk mass-produce military-type skis. The diversity is surprising: the auxiliary capital produces carburetors, armatures, railway equipment, cinema apparatus, tractor parts, tubes, leather goods, foodstuffs...
