LETTERS TO THE EDITOR (August 26, 1991)

The Institute for Managers and Specialists Continuing Engineering Education is the head organization in post-graduate education on non-ferrous metallurgy in the U.S.S.R. The institute is in Sverdlovsk, Ural, in the middle of Russia.

One of the institute’s main tasks is to inform Soviet and foreign specialists about achievements in the sphere of mining, dressing and metallurgy. Nowadays, our enterprises are highly interested in making acquaintance with the practical work of foreign enterprises and making business contacts with partners abroad.

We hope that Canadian firms will take an interest in the establishment of business contacts with Soviet enterprises in the sphere of mining, dressing and metallurgy.

Our institute would take charge of receiving the foreign business representatives. Planned would be visits to the largest works, mills, mines and plants in Ural, Siberia and other regions, as well as meetings with representatives of the government and other officials. The business representatives of Canada would be in a position to see with their own eyes the level of technology and management at the plants and be able to discuss any future collaboration.

We will pay for all expenses incurred within the Soviet Union and you would pay for all expenses of the Soviet specialists in your country. Each side would pay its own travelling expenses between the countries. Sergei Sverdlov

I was catching up on some of my reading when I came across Charles Pegg’s article “Revisiting Quebec’s north in the 1950s” (T.N.M., July 29/91) on the editorial page. You must be very proud of it to have given it such status. What relevance does this article have in a mining newspaper? In these trying times what purpose do you think this article will serve?

If you have any more articles of such high editorial quality, please relegate them to the back page.
