...during the London negotiations and subsequently last week, London and Paris correspondents kept hearing in the highest quarters the opinion that grave unrest is stirring in Russia; that the Soviet Union's effective strength in warfare has been greatly reduced by these conditions; that Dictator Stalin is now maintaining himself in power only by the most terroristic methods.

Soviet bombers arrived in China in considerable numbers and went into action last week...
...Russia's principal railway from every point of view, especially the strategic, is the Trans-Siberian. Last week Dictator Joseph Stalin and Premier Vyacheslav Molotov were announced recently to have issued a joint order demanding that officials of the Trans-Siberian "restore it to efficient operation." Stalin & Molotov mentioned that "76 railway cars loaded with metal have been standing on sidings at Khabarovsk for six months." Their order added: "Eliminate traffic jams and defective locomotives...
