great cultural advances made in the
Soviet Union. The Soviet ambaSSa-
dor learned the English language in
Tokyo where he spent several years
as Ambassador to Japan.
1.-THE Soviet Union has been strug-
Cling for peace since its inception"
Troyanovsky said. 1T still spares no
effort in the preservation of it and
in the strengthening of peace ma
chinery. 1t was and still is eager to
achieve important results in the
direction of universal disarmament.
The cooperation of both countries in
these fields, as well as in the eco
nomic and cultural, could be most
fruitful for the entire world"
Tells of Interest In U. S.
The Soviet Ambassador told of the
wide and eager interest" in the
United States. "Our various scien-
tific bodies alone" he continued, re-
ceive in exchange and import some
10000 volumes from the U. S. annu-
ally, more than from any other coun-
try.
"For the most part these come
through our Society for Cultural Re
lationS with Foreign Countries, which
among its functions acts as a clear
ing house for exchanges of scientific
publications"
Troyanovsky said that there are
IA Soviet scientists who are mem
bers of different scientific associa-
tons of the United States.
'In applied science, particularly,
we have thousands of young men and
women in our colleges and institu-
lions preparing themselves for tech
nical posts under our planned social
list development, who are ardent stu
dents of American scientific achieve
ment and American technique. We
also have over so students in the
United States studying various phases
Of engineering in American universe
ties. We sincerely appreciate the
hospitality shown to these young
men in this country
The Soviet Ambassador pointed out
that there is wide interest in the
Soviet Union in books about America,
particularly in books showing the
development Of the United States,
and again in books telling of your
pioneer days, books telling of adven-
turous exploration and of the clear

transformation from these conditions
has takes place. Illiteracy has been
reduced to less than 10 per cent of

The wide extent of education in

of four years." he asserted, "has been
extended to every corner of the coun-

Troyanovsky referred to "those
critics" who declare that the Soviet
Union has absorbed itself too much
in technique and machinery. "We
talk about these things because in
our country there is a crying need
for machinery and technique. Dur

Guards are reported planning a coup
to seize the government on Jan. 80,
the first anniversary of the Nazi
murder regime in Germany. The
Heimwehy is the main bulwark of
Chancellor Dollfuss' fascist corporate
state" The defections in its ranks
compelled Dollfuss to appeal to the
big powers in the League of Nations
to protect Austria'S independence, in
the knowledge that France and Italy,
especially, are opposed to German

strategic situation in Central Europe.
Chancellor Dolfuss yesterday sur

in the Heimwehr for the suppression

on Socialist headquarters. Thirty So

are continuing. T he government
claimed to have seized secret Social

go rifles and 10000 rounds of infan-
try munitions. Undoubtedly, the main
reason for the raids is the growing

The Austrian Hitlerites are de-
handing the immediate dismissal of
those Socialist leaders who are in the

1t was indicated yesterday that
Britain would back the protest of

Austria, which includes the shipment

Guest of Honor at
Banquet Here

| NEW YORK-The consistent peace
policy of the Soviet Union and its
struggle to improve the material and
cultural level of its people were
stressed in a speech made by Alex
ander A. Troyanovsky, Soviet Ambas-
sador to the United States, before
1900 assembled at a banquet in his
honor at the Hotel Aston on Wednes-
day evening.
Both the red flag with its golden
hammer and sickle and the Amer
lean flag hung above the speakers

The table vas arranged by the
American Russian Institute, which
was formerly the Society for Cultural
Relations with the U.S.S.R.
Other speakers, in addition to Troy
anovsky, were William C. Bullitt, U
s. Ambassador to the Soviet Union;
Alexander Woolcott, dramatic critic;
and John Erskine, author. Mrs. Nor
man Hapgood introduced Thomas D.
Thatcher, president of the New York
Bar Association, who acted as toast
master.
Troyanoysky, however. was pre-
sented to the audience by U. S.
Ambassador Bullitt.
Alexander Woolcott made some
pointedly humorous references to
the way in which the Soviet Union
was made to appear by some CORE
spondents, and John ErSkine spoke
of the many treasures in art and
literature to which we owe debt
Of gratitude to Russia" Erskine de-
clared that whatever one may
think of Russia's economic system,
we must acknowledge that Russia is
one country in which the people
express themselves culturally."

Rise in Standards
Troyanovsky explained that our
work in all lines of cultural endeavor
has a growing momentum in large
measure because of the steadily
broadening demands Of the people.
These demands have come with the
rise of the standard of living and the
spread of education"
Referring to the success Of the
Soviet Union virtually eliminating
illiteracy, the Soviet ambassador said:

Russia was that two out of every
