had been known n the Unted States relatve to the mysterous land north of what the old geographers were pleased to call Tartary Kennan traveled from end to end of the gant Northern land, largely on foot or n sledges, and kept hs eyes and ears open He returned to Sbera when hs frst ms son had been fnshed He traveled the whole route of the Russan exle bands, from the prsons of Russa by sledges across the plans, through the forests and nto the mountans that border the Eastern coast of Sbera He wtnessed the un utterable brutalty of the Russan soldery, the pt- less herdng of the prsoners through the kllng cold of a Sberan wnter, the mercful death that came to set free hundreds of poor wretches doomed to travel the long road eastward because of they had dared to thnk t was largely because of the wrtngs of George Kennan that Russa eventually eased the rgors of the Sberan exle system, although t never was en trely abolshed He may rghtfully be gven credt, therefore, for a great

of tme, the entre d?tance between Amerca and Europe by the land route may be covered by ral, wth the possble excepton of Behrng Strat, whch engneers have even proposed serously to tunnel To George Kennan should go a large place n Amercas annals as a fearless poneer of cvlza ton n far places, an explorer who not only saw thngs as they were, but as they ought to be; a man of prophetc magnaton and of practcal sympathy for oppressed manknd
