1, There has been considerable talk in Poland about building waterways to connect
the East, i,e,, the Soviet Union, with the West, and more particularly, about
building a canal which would connect the Bug river, more than half of which is
under Soviet control, with the Vistula river, and thereafter to extend it so as
to provide connection between the Vistula and the Notec (a stream); later, per-
haps, the canal would be extended to connect with the Oder river. As of April
1954, little had been done in this direction due to the shortages of material.
According to Source, a number of more pressing problems must be resolved before
the canal can be built.
2. Source states that two hydroelectric basinsl are being built near Brest - one
at Janow Podlaski (353,4458) and another at Drohiczyn (S53/G10); it is planned
to build hydroelectric power stations at these two locations in anticipation of
the above-mentioned canal,
