The WORLD This WEEK
EUROPE: A Super SIav State?

BULGARIAN Communist Pre-
- mier Georgi Dimitrov's dec
laration for an eastern European
federation indicated this week
that Russia is consolidating it's
grip over the nations in the So
Wet sphere.
The Bulgarian premier did not add
anything new to American informa-
ton about Communist detectives for
the eastern bloc. What he did was
place those detectives on record, more
explicitly and with greater authority,
than heretofore.
Some diplomatic authorities in
Washington regard Dimitrov as the
most powerful figure in the Com
munist Party outside Russia. They re-
gard his speech as probably repre-
senting top Communist Party policy.
Western observers long have been
convinced that the Russians were
working toward an eastern European
federation which might someday lead
either to creation Of a greater Slav
nation or to absorption of lands be-
hind the iron curtain into the Soviet
system.

In one of our meetings,
