Excerpt from Through Siberia: The Land of the Future At the present time, when the thoughts of all are centered on the early and critical phases of the European struggle, it may seem a hazardous enterprise to claim attention for a subject which appears at first sight to have only a remote connexion with that struggle; but as Dr. Nansen's narrative gives the most recent account of the vast Asiatic resources of our Ally, and of the attempt, by opening up the Kara Sea route, to make those resources available for the benefit of Western Europe, it will be seen that the questions of which he treats may before long become of direct interest to ourselves and our Allies nearer home. At a moment when the possibility of transporting troops from the White Sea to the Western theatre of war has been widely discussed, the whole question of opening up the North of Russia and Siberia to European trade, is of more than academic importance. The country traversed by the Yenisei and its tributaries is a very fertile region, including wheat-lands far greater in extent than the combined territory of France and Germany. If these wheat-lands can be made to yield their produce to Europe, they may even prove a vital factor in the decision of the struggle which is now absorbing the attention of the world.

Paperback, [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from Through Siberia: The Land of the Future It may be hoped, therefore, that efforts will be made next season to take advantage of the experience of Dr. Nansen and his companions and to establish regular communication between the Kara Sea and Western Europe, during the months in which that sea is avail able to navigation. While everything that leads to a better knowledge and understanding of our Russian Allies and their country cannot fail to interest us, it is in particular the practical consideration referred to - namely, the possibility of increasing our food-supply by a new route - that has led the publisher to issue this book at the present juncture.
