...scant months the Davieses have been in Moscow (TIME, Feb. 1), the friendly U. S.

...speaking Yale Professor Jerome Davis and an earlier Japanese as well as a German correspondent have been noted (TIME, Jan. 8, 1934), but Nikolai Lenin did not die until 1924, Leon Trotsky was not fully mastered and exiled until 1929, and the first correspondent to interview the No. 1 Bolshevik after he reached the plenitude of J.
