Russia Looks to the East 2nd in UN Series

Lasting peace built on justice and understanding among nations. This is the objective of the United Nations. This is the second program in the United Nations series of the Pacific Story, one of the five special series presented by the National Broadcasting Company, and its affiliated stations to further world unity and world peace through understanding.

For hundreds of years the Pacific and the lands it touches have been the scene of struggle, conflict, for gain and power, people against people, Western nations seeking to dominate and exploit the lands and people, and millions caught in the political and economic cross-currents.

Today with most of the world's population concentrated around and in the Pacific, the events of the Pacific are a vital world concern. The Pacific story dedicates this series to the objective of the United Nations.

Lasting peace, built on justice and understanding among nations. Russia looks to the east. Question. Britain.

United States. Oil. United Nations. Your comrades can shout about Iran and the United Nations and Britain all you want. But take it from me. Russia today has a problem that stands head and shoulders above all others.

What is that car? Tell us Carro. It is building. No. I agree with former Carro. Rebuilding our bomb shutters, it is our biggest problem in Russia today. I don't mean merely rebuilding our bomb cities, which is a tremendous problem in itself.

For the building of new cities in the east, which Russia faces today, as the industrial land and shipping routes of tomorrow. I'll never forget the grim picture I saw in the Russian Donbas. Just after it was retaken from the Nazis in 1944.

The Donbas here once was the Pennsylvania of Russia because of the coal deposits. The skull in the region you see from this hill produced hundreds of thousands of tons of coal. Now the mines are blown up, filled with smashed machinery, with water and dead bodies.
