 in Washington before the BOl-
 shevik Revolution, later editor of
 two White Russian newspapers
 in New York. Various dele gates at San Francisco were
 amazed at the way Stettinius
 called on Pasvolsky for advice at
 almost every turn. More than
 any other man. this White Rus
 sian seemed 10 be the back
 can delegation.
 Another right-hand adviser to StettinluS is charming Jimmy Dunn, chief State Department champion of Franco and the man who consistently opposed the Re- publican Government O1 Spain because he feared 1t was too much like the Soviet. Naturally 1t is hard for the Russians 10 forget that Franco came into power through Hitler and MuSsolini plus the hands-off empargo policy of Jimmy Dunn; and that Franco promised to send 1,000,C00 mem perS of his Blue Division to fight the Russians when they had their backs to the wall at Stalingrad, Now they see Jimmy Dunn sit ting al StettiniuS right hand.
 Then there is Nelson Rockefeller, whose family owns many of the big oil companies which prosper under certain Latin American Relationships, No matter what his fine personal qualities, Rocke- feller IS bound to arouse Soviet suspicious.
 PEASANT VS FINANCIER
 There are many others-As- sistant Secretary Will Clayton who has been doing an increas- ingly good job in the State De partment, but whom the Russians remember as selling cotton 10 the Axis through his subsidiaries right up until Pearl Harpor; Assistant Secretary Julius Holmes, who frankly admitted that he saw nothing wrong with Franco or the Fascist Iron Guard of Ru- mania; Under Secretary Joe Grew, who urged that we continue sell ing scrap iron and oil to Ja- pan; and finally Ed Stettinius himself, former chairman of the U. s. Steel, who has been built up by General Motors and the House of J. P. Morgan.
 When representatives of the
 peasants and workers sit down to negotiate with the scions of
 the ArmOrs, the NIorgans, and
 the ROckefellers, naturally the
 boys from the backwOOds figure
 that the cards are stacked
 against them from the very start. The hair bristles on their back every time scion of
 Wall Street says boo, even
 though the latter have excel lent intentions. This kind of
 atmosphere just doesn't make for harmonious diplomacy es- pecially when some of our dip liOmats were among those who
 ardently favored the Cliveden- Set theory of building up a strong Germany against Russia.
 One up on the State Depart nlent needlers, however, when it comes to securing our relations with Russia, are certain admiralS and generals who look upon war with Russia as a foregone con- clusion. Though we have no ter ritory that either covets, through our borders are in no way con tiguous, and though our peoples when they come in genuine con. tact usually like each other, some of the brass hats have already proposed building 73 warships TOT an expected war against Russia. KNIVES AND
 MONKEY-WRENCHES
 The Russians know all this. They would know it even if the admirals tried to keep it secret, which they don't. And when the Soviet figures that the other side is out to knife them, they in turn can and do resort to the most ruthless knifing in return. In. fact they are much better at it than we are.
 When the Russians want to swing the knife, they don't leave anything to gueSswork. U. s. of-
