should be sure there is not too
much doubt as to the length OF

corporate form SO long as the same
ratio Of ownership is maintained

RUSSIA SETTING
STAGE FOR FARLEY

WASHINGTON, Nov. 49, Up -
Russia appeared today to, be set
ting a friendly stage for the forth
coming meeting of Marshal Stain
with President Roosevelt a n d
Prime Minister Churchill.
At the same time, new Moscow
statements on the hitherto hush
hush subject of Japan may indi-
cate a psychological preparation
for Russian participation in h e
second stage of the warm the
Pacific.
Latest Russian assurances that
the Soviets aim to consolidate the
Observation-Disclosures front
after the defeat of Germany came
in the official Soviet embassy bull
letin.
An article by Red army Col. A.
Calm included among six cardinal
points of Soviet foreign policy: non
intervention in internal affairs Of
other nations, denunciation Of i'm
peralist expansion and aggression,
and furtherance Of alliances with
peace loving states. Calm said that
anti-Bolshevik fears are now fray
ed and talk of communist peril
is no more than one Of Goebbels'
propaganda tricks.
Russia believes, he declared, in
the co-existence Of two SYSTEMS
presumably communists and cap
italists.
The expected meeting OF the big
three leaders was not mentioned,
but Churchill said recently that the
time has come for such a con-
ference. It is anticipated before
Christmas.
Stalin's speech last week ex-
ceeded previous Kremlin pro-
nouncements in praise Of the West
ern Allied war effort and branded
Japan as an aggressor nation for
the first time since Russia en-
tered the war.
Moscow dispatches today report
ed a speech by Col. Ivan Tolchen-
of, Soviet military authority, who
declared that the Pacific war is
going against Japan.
Tolchenoff significantly recalled
japanese clashes with the Soviet
union along the Monaghan border
in 1889. The report attracted es.
pecial attention among diplomats
here who have been in Russia and
remember the trouble which Mos
cow has taken previously to avoid
speaking of Japan in any way that
could be called antagonistic.
Some recently returned officials
have pointed out that only a short
time ago Moscow appeared pain
fully upset whenever Russia's pos
sible entry into the Pacific battle
was mentioned in the United States
or Britain. Now pointed references
about Japan are coming from the
Soviet capital
