...Stalin is almost the only Big Red not yet met by new U. S. Ambassador to the U. S. S. R. & Mrs. Joseph Edward Davies, who by last week had definitely hit their stride in Moscow. Considering that most diplomats and their wives in the Soviet capital figure as "Capitalist spies" in the Communist press, it was notable last week that such prominent Soviet wives as Perfume Trust Manager Zhemchuzhina* and the spouse of Assistant Foreign Commissar Nikolai Krestinsky should have taken Mrs. Davies socially in tow on a round of Moscow creches and factory restaurants while Ambassador Davies...
...match of questions about either the U. S. or the U. S. S. R. with the answers kept as factual as possible. The shooting started when Foreign Trade Commissar Rosengoltz gave a five-hour Russian lunch for Ambassador & Mrs. Davies at his magnificent dacha or country estate adjoining Dictator Stalin's west of Moscow.

...Communist architecture, but an affair of Corinthian columns with acanthus-leaf capitals suggesting the First National Bank in an Ohio or Illinois city. There are not many of these new bourgeois buildings yet in Red Moscow, but they bear out in unmistakably bourgeois architecture the fact that J. Stalin & Co.- although favoring the World Revolution of the World Proletariat abroad-are becoming almost Babbitt Bolsheviks at home in the Soviet Union...
...Stalin State: "Instruct a commission. . . to elaborate a draft of a ruling for every type of school. The ruling must have a categoric and absolutely obligatory character for pupils as well as for teachers. This ruling must be the fundamental document . . . which strictly establishes the regime of studies and the basis for order in the school as well as the rules of conduct of pupils inside and outside of school. . . . Introduce in all schools a uniform type of pupils' report card on which all the principal rules for the conduct of the pupil are to be inscribed. Establish...
