disaster. Who will doubt that normal
relations between the U. S. A. and
the U. S. s. R. will create such a
correlation of forces as will inevitably
have to be taken into account by
sdventurist circles trying to break
the peace?"
"Izvestia" says: peace now de-
ponds on actions. Almost every day
sees the bankruptcy of pacifist ex-
periments; almost every day we per-
ceive the helplessness of the League
of Nations. The International Dis
armament Conferences not only did
not give the slightest progress in de-
creaSing the yoke of ornaments
which lies on shoulders Of workers in
all countries, but they did not pre-
vent further increase in armament,
and now hardly anybody can hope
that the disarmament conference
will be success. In q number of
countries we see the growth of in
fluence of aggressive militaristic cir
Giles which try at all costs to provoke
new international complications to
realize their adventurist inperialist
plans. On this dark background of
present conditions of international
relations, the address of the President
of the U.SA. to the Chairman of the
Executive Committee of the U.S.SR.
is an event which everyone accepts
with satisfaction"
The Soviet press points out that the
abnormal situation is not the fault
Of the Soviet Union Pravada says:
THE relations of the Soviet Union
and America have long history. It's
character at each stage is defined by
the struggle between groups inside
the American bourgeoisie. On the
part Of the Soviet Union for 16 years
there have been no obstacles to nor
NAL relations. The Soviet Union es-
tablished such relations with most
prominent countries in the capitalist
world, which, after a long struggle,
had to recognize the U.S.SR."
"Pravda" especially refers to the
non-aggreSsion treaties defining the
aggressor, and names especially
France, Poland, Turkey, Italy, with
whom such treaties have been made.
1t emphasizes the whole foreign pol
icy of the Soviet Union centers
around peace, for which normal re-
lations are quite necessary for the
settlement of disputed questions, and
repeats Kalinin's message to this eff
feet.
The Soviet press analyses the rea-
sons for the change in policy in
America. "Pravda" tells of the opin-
ions of American observers here in
recent years who saw American busi-
ness hurt by lack of relations. 1t de-
clares:
Economic connections between two
countries were sacrificed to the wish
es of handful of capitalists who
stubbornly refused to consider the
change during the last years in the
situation in the United States, which
is attacked by a severe crisis, and
the situation in the US.SR., which
has been strengthened continually
into the biggest economic political
factor. If Roosevelt's note means CIV
ing up the former policy in relations
with the greatest country in Europe

leading circles of the American bour-
geoisie are finally convinced by the
experience in the last 16 years Of the
necessity to change their line Of con-
duct. The situation has changed, and
sober consideration makes them
change, too. They have to consider
that the Soviet Union Is a country
which occupies big place in the in
ternational arena, and cannot ignore
this fact without injuring them
selves"
"Izvestia" says: american public
opinion now knows not only Of many
tremendous achievements here al
ready in the sphere of internal con-
struction, but America also knows
that the Soviet Union meets its 10th
anniversary with great achievements
in the sphere Of foreign politics. Dur
ing 16 years the Soviet Union coolly
and patiently overcame all obstacles
and achieved quite normal, stable re-
lations with its neighbors and with
most OF the important countries"
IzveStia and other papers point to
the Soviet Unions non -interference
