. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .

When the Bolshevik govern
ment was set up after the Octo-
Der revolution, Stains name,
then j. V. Djugashvili, appeared
on the ministry list as holding
the portfolio for National Minor
tiles. He kept it only a few
months, but it is notable that
all his DEGREES. usually treated
with dcrision at the time, always
eliminated with the slogan, The
right of self determination to
the point of state dissolution"
When the Soviet's new con-
stitution was being considered
in 1885, it was proposed to strike
out provision granting the re-
publics right of secession, be-
cause none of them wanted to
secede. Stain opposed this move.
to emphasize his belief that the
u. S. S. r. was free union of
republics.
1t is only with this back

amendments TO the 1895 con-
stitution, granting autonomy in
foreign relations and military
affairs. should be judged.
REPUBLICS SMALL
You have to look at a good
map of the Soviet Union, show
ing all 16 republics, to see what
this new step means. Russia
proper has 7 per cent of the
land area and 60 per cent of
the population - six out of eight
million square miles and 100 out
of 1873 million people. The other
Is republics are small, mostly
border states on the west and
south. You can conceive of Geor-
gan and Armenian republics ex-
changing ministers with Turkey,
which they border. Or Of the
Soviet Socialist Republic of
Turkmen setting up diplomatic
relations with Iran or Afghan

BY PETER EDISON

The general conclusion most
people seem TO have leaped at
in connection with the Soviet
Unions amending its constitu-
ton so as to give its l6 repub-
lies autonomy in foreign rela-
tons and military defense is that
this is merely another one of
Pal Joe Stalin's slick tricks,
pulled out Of the hat in a hurry
TO give him Is more votes at
the peace conference, or Is am
bassadors in Washington instead
of just one,
That is an easy answer and it
would perhaps be risky to pro-
phesy that neither development
would ever be realized But the
notion that autonomy for the l6
Wet Socialist republics is
something brand new, conjured
up just to meet the present in
ternational situation, is a snap
judgment which is utterly mis-
leading and contrary TO fact.
National autonomy within the
u. S. S. r. is something that
Stain has been preaching ever
since 1913, four years before the
Bolshevik revolution, when Sta
lin was a refugee revolutionary
in Vienna, and he wrote, "A ma
ton has the right to arrange its
life on autonomous lines. 1t even
has the right to secede.'
REASSERTED STAND
After the first 1917 revolution
which put Kerensky in power,
Stain was editor of Pravda in
Moscow and he sat in with Len
in at the Bolshevik party con-
gress. His one speech there was
on this nationalist question, and
in it he again recognized the
right of the various peoples of
Russia to separate themselves
from the state.

istan. Or of Kazakh, Uzbek, Tad
zhik and Kirghiz republics -
of which most people probably
never heard - going into dis
plomatic dickering with China.
And you can conceive of all of
them wanting and needing mil
itary organizations like the Amer
lean National Guard units. made
up of their own people, to pre-
serve order within their own
borders.
1t is along such lines that Mos
cows central government has
been gradually leading its va
ried nationality groups. Remem-
Der that less than 30 years ago
many of them were little more
than wild tribes. Granting them
self-determination in foreign af-
fairs and their own defense may
mark nothing more sinister than
their gradual emergence as small
nations within the Soviet Union.
