The Volga-Don canal extends from Stalingrad on the Volga to Kalach on the don. By linking the four eras, it will increase Soviet strength in several ways, , 1. By enabling vessels to navi gate between the Black sea and any of the other three seas in Eu ropean Russ3, it will greatly In crease the maneuverability of Rus sia fleet. 2. It will enhance Russia's abil ity to produce wheat, cotton and livestock by putting into produc tion fertile but arid areas, and the sun-beaten lands in the center of the Soviet bread basket. 3. It will relieve the load on Societ railroads by enabling coal from the Donbass basin to move by water along the Volga valley and adjacent seas and waterways.
