Abstract:
In this paper, the author, first developing the history of the border dispute between the Soviet Union and Communist China, traces the building and improvements of the Trans-Siberian Railroad and points out the strategic significance of the Railroad and its tributaries. While he does not deny the economic import of the railroad, he has shown that the railroad, in the past, has been employed for strategic supply and has been garrisoned with military troops and is being continuously improved and maintained for possible military use in the event of war between the Soviet Union and Communist China.
