LONDON, May 29.-Advocates OF
closer cooperation with Soviet Rus
sia today urged that the Allies begin
building Immediately on new
foundation of inter-Allied under
standing which they said Joseph
Stain had provided in a letter ex-
planning the dissolution of the
Comintern.
Premier Stains letter was sent to
Harold King, Reuters Moscow cor
respondent, in answer to Mr.. King S
query as to the Soviet view of the
orders effect on international rela-
tionS.
In his reply Premier Stain saw
four immediate results: The organ
ization of common onslaught L.
against Hitlerism; the exposure as
lie the oft-repeated Nazi charge
that Russia sought to "BolShevize"
the world and also that Communists
within the labor movements in
countries in the United Nations bloc
are working against the war effort;
clearance Of the way ito future or
ganization of a companionship of
nations based upon their equality"
Coordinated Political Warfare.
The first reaction to Premier
Stains statement will be the stim-
ulation of partisan activities in every
Nazi-occupied country and even in
Germany ITSELF" declared a London
Evening Standard editorial.
ITO this there can be only one
reply from us" the paper continued.
I'VE must seek to coordinate polti-
cal warfare and to assist Europe's
underground partisans in common
effort"
The Evening Standard, published
by Lord Beaverorook who is a
staunch friend Of Soviet Russia. de-
clared the Stain letter places
beyond doubt and argument" the
meaning of the Comintern's dissolu-
ton and called it vigorous politi-
cal initiative" No other afternoon
newspapers commented.
In an article written before the
Stain letter was received, the
Economist, middle Of -the-road eco
nonic and political weekly. declared
the Comintern was not only
nuisance to Russia's neighbors but
an inconvenience to Russia itself" j"
The Economist credited the Com
munists' disruptive activities with
giving credence TO the Axis Dol
shevist bogey' and weakening
France to the point of collapse and
Facilitating and speeding up the
victory of national socialism in
Germany"
First Step To End Distrust.
However, the Economist added, If
the dissolution of the Comintern is
courageously followed up lit can be
the first step in the campaign to
eliminate suspicious and distrust."
A German broadcast recorded by
Reuters showed that the Nazi party
was continuing to try to cast doubt
on Premier Stalins sincerity, term
ing his letter new trick" caused
by his distrust of Britain where the
Labor Party's Executive Committee
Contlnues 10 oppose the COmmu-
nists' application for afflliation with
the party.
Premier Stain himself seemed to
be referring to such opposition in his
letter when he said that the disso-
luton would facilitate uniting pro-
gressive forces of their respective
countries regardless of party or re-
ligious faiths in war against
fascism.
The Economists view on this ques-
ton was that it was reasonable to
wait and see" whether British Com
munists, despite the dissolution of
the Comintern, would continue to
make the Laborites regard them as
''troublemakers."
