...agents of M. Zinoviev and M. Kamenev. To put down any hint of this M. Stalin is sued a manifesto last week, commanded that M. Dzerzhinsky's work of speeding industrial production be carried forward by the Rykoff Cabinet as a whole. For himself, "Mr. Steel" reserves the harsh detachment of a commander. Ensuing months will show whether, without President Dzerzhinsky, he can advance the schedule of Russian production up to the point of taking care of the now overwhelming and largely unsatisfied demand of Russian peasants for manufactured goods at a price which they...

On April 17 Tchitcherin and Rathenau, realizing that they would get only, harsh terms from the Allies, slipped off to Rapallo and signed a mutual economic agreement on a "most favored nation" basis. When the Treaty of Rapallo was announced at Genoa, it created such consternation that that conference subsequently dispersed without notable accomplishment. This Treaty must be carefully distinguished from the Italo-Jugoslav...
