IN York Times, in an exclusive
cable dispatch from Moscow to-
day, quoted Josef " Stain in an
interview as seeing real danger"
to the Soviets from Japan, but as
believing that Japan would be
unwise to attack"
I'VE should like to have friendly
relations with the Japanese" the
Communist party leader said. But
unfortunately that does not de-
pend upon us alone. If the more
reasonable elements and more
prudent counsels prevail in Japan,
our two countries can live in
amity, but we fear the militant
faction may push saner policies
into the background . 1t is un-
certain, too, whether she would
get support for such an adventure
from other powers There is
grave danger, and we can not but
prepare to meet it,"
Stain spoke optimistically of
the possibilities of lively trade
between Russia and the United
States, and laughed at fears ex-
pressed by some economists re-
garding the Soviets' ability to pay
for goods.
1--WE are the greatest demand
market and are ready to order
and pay for-large quantities of
goods" he said. Every one has
been surprised that we are pay

can pay. l know it is not Gus

Explaining his conception Of
Mr.. Roosevelt, Stain said there
was philosophical system known
as "solipsism," which means that
you do not believe in the reality

For long time" he said, "it
looked as if the American govern

Roosevelt is not a supporter of
that strange theory. He is a
realist and knows facts as they
are"
He also praised Ambassador
William Bullitt who, he said,
docs not talk like an average dip
lomat-he is straightforward, and
means what he says"
Stain was hopeful that the
world is rising from the depres-

the upgrade, he said.

All three matters would, it was
said, result in breaks in party ranks
Controversy already has developed
about the drastic food and drug bill.
Transportation co-ordinator Ben
Eastman has been working on re-
port which he may submit before
Feb. /, outlining the need of CO.
ordination in rail, water and truck
traffic. The emergency tranSporta-
ton enacted last session was only a
temporary device. Mr. Eastman is
now assembling data obtained from
transportation sources relative to
equipment costs, competition be-
tween rails and waterways, dupiica-
ton lines etc.
Substitutes for the far-reaching
Tugwell food and drug bill probably
will be given careful consideration.
Representative George Huddleston,
Dem, Ala.,) has announced he will
introduce a bill providing for label
ing by the bureau of standards of
all commodities. Under his plan
even clothing would carry symbols"
showing grade and quality.
