Stalien speaks French and Ger.

He discussed world politics,
American relief and the growth
Of the Third Internationale Of
the Communists. His views on
every subject are pronounced.
He sits at a cheap flat.topped
desk in a large, bare-looking
room. with uncarpeted floors.
1t has a large council table in
the center, at which sits the
executive committee Of the all
Russian Communist party, su-

TALKS POLITICS.
Karakhan. in the absence Of
Tchitcherin. Is the head of the
foreign office in Moscow. He is
easily the handsomest man among
the Soviet officials. He is six
feet tall. splendidly proportioned
and groomed and tailored to the
last inch.
He is an Armenian by extrac-
ton, wears a flowing mustache
and small chin beard, and has a
heavy growth Of wavy patent

was In his office on the morn.
Ing he received the unofficial
note Of our Government, through
our ambassador at Berlin, inouir.

and commerce would be welcomed
by his government.
He discussed the letter freely
voicing the policy which he after.

that the proposed committee wou,d
be welcome, but that such action
would have to be reciprocal on the
part OF the two governments. This
seemed to put an end to the prono.
sition.
A FORMER NOBLE.
A week before I left Berlin for
Moscow the German government
turned over to the Soviet Republic
the old Russian embassy in the
Unter den Linden, one of the
largest and stateiiest foreign EN-.
bassies In the capital. II is from
this building that the foreign af.
fairs Of Russia are really being
handled.
At a richly carved mabosanv
desk In a lavishly decorated room
fifty feet square sits George
Tchitcherin, who succeeded Trotzky
as minister Of foreign affairs. He
comes from a family of mobiles,
which served the Car in the Mos.
COW foreign office for generations.
He is a glutton for work.
He is at his desk every day from
twelve to sixteen hours. He meets
visitors In the late afternoon and
works practically all night. He is
the traditional diplomat in appear.

sistance to the counter revolu-
ton. He spends most Of his time
in Berlin, speaks Russian, French,
German. with a fair smattering
of English. He is an admirer Of
America and Americans.
Lunacharsky, the minister Of
education. is one of the idols Of
the Russian masses. His depart
ment has charge Of all historic
buildings, churches. and palaces
in Russia. The art treasures Of
the Kremlin and the Winter Pal
ace are in his keeping. He has
been bitter in his denunciation Of
looters and vandalism.
One of his side lines is that

lutionary tribunal. 1 was pres

the trial of the thirty-four social
revolutionists charged with trea-
son.
Lunarcharsky's closing argu-
ment took six hours for delivery.
He looks about fifty years old,
with grayish. weary-looking
face. His eyes are unusually mild
and his expression sad.
Nicolas Bucharin, one of the
best-known figures in Russia, ap-
peared in the same trial in the
defense Of Ratnau. He has a lit.
tie alert figure, dressed neatly in
modern clothes. He is the edt
tor of Pravda, one Of the two
Government newspapers in Mos
COW. a prolific author on econom.
les and revolutions.
He was the oratorical figure of
the trial. His, argument was the
only one which brought applause
from the spectators. which was
quickly checked by the presiding
judge.

The popular impression In Mos
COW was that at least twenty Of
the defendants would be sen.
tenoed to death. From the ar
guments of the prosecutors, as
well as the admissions made by
the defendants, It appeared that
the accused perhaps had taken
part In various counter.revelu-

In which thousands of lives were

Soviets. He IL short and dark,
with a closely cropped mustache,
large bone-rimmed spectacles, and
dresses more like a banker than a
Communist. He is a good humored
individual, operates through
large staff of assistants and fairly
exudes cordiality and efficiency.
He seems to be extremely popu-
lar with the militant group in
Russia. as well as the higher-ups
Of the Communist party, although
he is one who has insisted that
Russia would have to pay her
debts and has warmly advocated
the establishment of harmonious
business relations with foreign
governments and investors.
One Of the strong men Of Rus
sia Of whom little has been writ
ten is Alexander Vladimir Eiduck.
He is the foreign plenipotentiary
for famine relief and has a close
touch with every outside country
that Is helping Russia.
His is an almost gigantic figure

who affects blue double-breasted
suits Of modern cut and looks

THE RELIEF CHIEF.
His official headquarters on
Spinadonvka Boulevard, built Of
graystone, covers a half block. II
was formerly the palace Of one
Of the mobiles Of pre-revolutionary
days. 1t is next door to the head
quarters Of the American Relief
Association.
It is part of his Job to smooth
the pathway Of the work of that
organization in Russia. He is a
stout advocate Of the idea that,
with a little help from the out.
side world. Russian agriculture
and industry can sustain itself.
Mainly through his efforts,
great industrial corporation has
been organized In Germany, which
proposes to have subsidiaries
throughout Europe. a. well as the
United States.
He believes the stocks and se.
curities Of such corporations can
be floated largely among foreign
workers, In small amounts, and
that In this way the much needed
capital for the reconstruction Of
Russian industry can be obtained
while paying q fair return to In.
vestors.
: Many Industrial and aericul.
tural concessions were granted
during the famine to the relief
associations Of other countries.
Biduck is now placing these on q
business basis, through the in.
strumentality Of his Berlin cor.
porati6n, 30 that famine relief,
as mere charity, can be thrown
into the discard.

the death penalty was not in
flicted, the unvarying answer was
that their future lives would be
devoted to the overthrow Of the
present Soviet Government.
AN "OFFICE LAWYER"
Kurskin is the Commissar Of
Justice. His duties are similar
to those Of our Attorney-General.
His counterpart can be found in
every large law office in any
American city. In appearance he
is the conventional "office law
yer"
A respectable civil practitioner
with few clients, he was tossed
to the surface by the revolution.
CARRIED in modern clothes, some
what seedy, he has the dyspeptic
dry-as-dust look Of the lawyer who
writes many briefs.
His staff Of assistants is as
large as Attorney General Daugh-
erty's, and his department occu-
pies a building quite as large as
our Department Of Justice.
The present vice-chairman Of
the Supreme Economic Council
and head Of the Presidium on
Concessions is Alexander Mich
ailoyich Krosnoschokof. He fur
nished one Of my many surprises
in Russia.
When I called at his office
recognized him as q former citi.
zen Of Chicago. where he lived
and practiced under the name Of
"Tobenson." a member Of a pros
porous law firm, until about six
years ago. He returned to his
native country through Siberia,
Immediately following the revolu.
tion. where he was the chief fac
tor In the establishment Of the
Far East republic.
Krosnoschokof was elected the
first President of the new republic
and served In that capacity for
more than three years. He re.
signed on account Of III health and
took up hts residence IN Moscow.
Rapidly recovering, he assumed
his present office.
Litvinof. Dadke, Kamenef and
other governmental heads have
been 20 often described and ana.
lyzed that they look as familiar
to an American as Henry Ford or
Mayor Hylsn
Bureaus breed bureauerats. and
Russia certainly has hers.

is a familiar figure on the streets
Of Moscow. He rides alone in the
rear seat of a big automobile,
usually in naval uniform, with
the chauffeur and a soldier on the
front seat. They ignore all speed
regulations. The crowds in the
streets cheer him as he flies by.
The man who took Lenin's job
in his absence is Alexei Ianovitch
Rykof. He is a little chap with q
sandy Van Dyke beard, big white
teeth and a smile that just will
not come off. His job Immediately
following the revolution was Com

was afterward President of the So

"HE personality Of Nicolai
Lenin overshadows all others
Il in Russia. Even in retire
ment he is all-powerful.
Everything Russian Is run by
committees, or what they call
presidiums. which is the same
thing. When Lenin's colleagues
came to the conclusion a few
months ago that he was on the
verge Of nervous breakdown from
overwork, they solemnly appointed
. committee Of three to take charge
Of him.
He was sequestered in a beauti-
ful estate about thirty minutes
ride In a machine from the center
Of Moscow. No one was permitted
to call upon him except his wife
and the committee.
He is affectionately referred to
in business and government circles
as the "old man." It was the duty
Of the committee during his retire
ment to epitomize all important
matters and present them to him
each Wednesday and Sunday aft
srnoon.
His last word seems supreme.

partment heads which could not be
reconciled 1t was always. Put II

TROTZKY HIGH UP.
The chairman Of his committee
laughed uproariously as I related
the American newspaper gossip
that he was paralyzed, that he was
hopelessly insane, that he had
died weeks ago and been secretly
buried, and so on. The chairman
Of the committee said as he STEP
ped into the automobile for one of
his bi-weekly visits to Lenin:
"All Of those rumors will be ex.
ploded two weeks from next Mon.
day. We have the assurances of
the doctors that on that day he
will be back at his desk as fit as

verified to the day and hour.

personality and influence. His
very person symbolizes power.

he presides Is the most up.to-date
one In Russia. The building is
