They moved toward the CEN

as they turned to face the ap-

she might like it,"
The look on Ken's face was
fiendish. His eyes glittered.
His mouth was twisted in a saw
age snarl. She had never seen
anyone so angry. There was
murder in his eyes as he leaped
to his feet, striking blindly at
Jerry. There was the sickening
sound of knuckles cracking
against flesh.

A chair went over with a

fighting in the open space, iab-

strokes that went home.

Jerry stopped one instant and
glanced at her. Then under

he turned and struck so swiftly
that no one knew exactly what
happened. Ken Richards was
swaying on his feet, crumpling
down in a heap on the floor.
For a moment Jerry stood
swaying groggily above him.
Then he stood erect, wiping the
blood from his face.

Enormous Changes
Found in Russia
After Year Absence
Six IndisputobIe Facts
Found by Correspondent
On Return to Moscow
By WALTER DURANTY.

MOSCOW, Jan. 2 MAN A.-by
Radio Soviet Russia has changed
enormously in the last year. When
this correspondent came to Moscow
from Riga at this time last January
conditions were admittedly difficult,
but, although l have known the
Soviet Union with its surprising ups
and downs for 20 years, l never
thought that u months could make
such a difference of atmosphere,
tone and fact.
During the last three weeks I
have made Investigations in all
possible quarters, Russian and
foreign, and studied the Soviet
press, which is far more prodigal
of complaints and criticisms than
might be guessed from the messages
of foreign correspondents.
In wartime especially there is
no place for prejudice or sympathy.
Only facts count, about friend,
foe or neutral, pleasing or unwel-
come.
Six Facts Show Change.
In the case OF the U S. S. r.
there are six indiSputable facts to
mark the measure OF a years change
aand perhaps to guide future fore
casts:
l. The Soviet Union has main-
tanned its neutrality according TO
its own definition of the word, which
is abStention from a world war and
relations toward other powers in
accord with their attitude and re-
lationS toward the U. S. S. r.
2. There has been an excellent
harvest. perhaps the best or second
best in Soviet history, with all which
that implies in a country that is
still mainly agricultural. This
despite climatic conditions last WIN
ter and spring so unfavorable that
the crops of all the rest of Eastern
Europe suffered a notable decline.
The Russians explain it by the as
sertion that the collective farm
system has now emerged from its
initial phase of trial and error and
begun to justify it's real value
3. The Army. Navy and air force
have been reorganlzed on basis
more appropriate for modern war
4. A similar reorganization has
been effected in industry. trade,
transport. finance and education.
s. A new, more flexible and more
practical conception has been intro
duced of the position and duties OF
the Communist party and its Junior
affiliates in relation to the Nation
in general and the national effort in
particular.
New Areas Absorbed.
s. The Soviet Union has absorbed,
without apparent friction, large
areas of territory for many years
under alien flags and. it is claimed
here, thus has made new and per-
haps decisive step toward the solu-
ton of the problem of nationalities
in the Soviet state
Even such foreigners here as do
not regard the Soviet Union with
wholehearted affection admit there
has been a marked upSwing. For the
lllS lllilc SlllSc IilC SouOS udSo VI
"NEP" new economic policy, in
augurated while Lenin was still
aliveD the Moscow stores have a
greater supply of goods than the
public demands. Price, of course. are
high. but this one fact means much
in a country where supplies have
been consistently outrun by de-
mandS.
From reporters viewpoint. the
Soviet Union is hard place to work.

Relations between this country
and Soviet Russia were improved
today with the lifting of the Amer
lean moral embargo" which for
more than l3 months had kept Rus
sia from buying in this country
airplanes, aviation equipment or
materials needed in the manufac-
ture of aircraft.
The move was interpreted widely
as being in line with An attempt
to drive a wedge between Russia and
the axis powers, though the State
Department announcement made no
motion of such a plan. 1t has been
known for some time that both
Great Britain and the United States
have been seeking better relations
with the Soviet government.
Meanwhile, doubt was expressed
in informed circles that any large
shipments of planes or air equip
ment to Russia would be made soon,
since American plane manufacture
ers are working on orders for Brit
ain and the United States.
1t was believed the main pur-
pose in removing the moral en-
barge was to remove the stigma
from Russia and to open the way
for better relations.
Licensing System Remains.
Shipment of air materials to
Russia remains under the export
license system applied to all other
countries, though a more liberal
| application of licensing Russian pur-
chase of machine tools and other
| equipment which the Russians have
/ been seeking may follow the ending
/ Of the moral embargo.
The moral embargo had included
molybdenum and aluminium as ma
