BY The Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-Elliott
Roosevelt quotes Joseph Stain as
telling him that while there has
been certain deterioration" in rela-
tions of the United States and
Soviet Government, II see nothing
frightfuI about this In the sense of
violation Of peace or . military
conflict"
Mr.. Roosevelt interviewed the
Russian leader in the Kremlin on
his 9th birthday last December Il,
and reports on the meeting in the
issue of Look Magazine released
today.
Not single great power, even II
Its Government were anxious to do
so, could now raise q large army to
fight another Allied power, another
great power, because now one can
not possibly fight without ones peo-
ple-and the people are unwilling
to fight" Mr.. Roosevelt said Prime
Minister Stain told him.
'They are tired Of war. And be-
sides, there are no understandable
objectives to justify q new war.
Danger Of War Doubted.
"One will not know for what he
has to fight and, therefore, I see
nothing frightful that some repre-
sentatives of the United States Gov
ernment are talking about the de-
terioration of relations between us.
I'm view of all these considera-
tions, think that the danger Of
new war is not real"
In contrast to relations between
the governments, relations between
the peoples of the two countries
''have improved" Mr.. Roosevelt said
Prime Minister Stain told him.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that when he
asked if the United Nations should
not, through inspection, control all
research and manufacturing facili-
ties of the atomic bomb and other
weapons, the Russian leader inquired
if he meant lin general?"
Eyes, but especially as to agree
ment in principle by Russia to such
a plan" Mr.. Roosevelt said.
"Of course, Mr.. Stain was quoted
as replying. "On the principle Of
equality no exceptions should be
made in the case of Russia. Russia
should be subjected to the same
rules of inspection and control as
any other nation must"
Answers Questions.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that in reply
to other specific questions, Mr..
Stain expressed belief that nations
with different internal economies
could exist side by side, that har-
mony among Great Britain, Russia
and the United States was funda-
mental to the success of the United
Nations, and that an international
police force for the U. N. should be
created Immediately.
Further, the Prime Minister IA
vored frequent meetings of the Big
Three, expansion of trade between
the United States and Russia, and
the broader exchange of cultural
and scientific information-and stu
dents and artiStS-between the two
countries. -
As to a common policy to aid
people of the Far East, Mr.. Roose-
velt said Mr.. Stain told him: II
feel that it will be useful If it Is
possible. In any case, our govern
ment is ready to pursue common
policy with the United States in
Far Eastern questions" =.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that In re-
sponse to a question on the No
vember election in this country,
Mr.. Stain said he was mot SO well
acquainted with the internal life"
of Americans. But I would think" !"
he added, that the election indi-
Gated that the present Government
is wasting the moral and political
capital created by the late Presi-
dent and thus it facilitated the vic
tory of the Republicans"
