The transport of Russian goods to the Pacific ports has besn seriously blocked by the Manchurian bandits who attack lonely stations and tear up stretches of track. Soviet complaints to the Manchurian authorities and demands for protection have been disregarded.

Tokyo is obviously in cahoots. Short of sendinz soldiers which would mem war, the can do nothing to clean up the marauders. An arrangement win probablj 1 be made, the Russians are so obviously in the right, but it's the belligerent enthusiasm with which these "incidents" axe greeted In Japan that bodes ill for the future. The reorganization of the Soviet Department of War is being watched with irreat interest by European military circles. The recent aboli- tion'of toe Military Council centralizes the high command and! is the last step In weeding out tlie inefficiency of the old of tration.

The new organization -oas been worked out with an eye to utmost simplicity and coordination. Observers comment that the Bus- sians have become almost expert in copying European improvements as the Japanese and remark on how many Soviet institutions have tost the "revolutionary" tang recently. Poor crops and the rising price of grain have led to increasingly violent outbreaks against the troops which Moscow has dispatched to guard the grain in the Ukraine and Black Soil country against a "class war" of "terrorists." State Prosecutor Akuloff has spurred the local authorities by threatening them with summary' action unless more "terrorists" caught and executed. Bands of children have been organized to patrol the fields and are given food rewards for information on the identity of the thieves. "Class war" and terrorism" in this case seem to be new names for hunger.

International diplomatic circles increasingly regard Litvinoff as a political operator of the rank, with a firm hold on the problems of luropeoa ooun- tries. Berlin especially sees him as a dangerous opponent. Insiders say that he wishes the encirclement of Germany by France and allied powers as the only concrete guarantee against Nazi designs of Baltic territory. He has been able to put Berlin in the wrong by twice offering peace pacts guaranteeing the status quo the Baltic states, which Neurath turned down at once without due thought to a convincing excuse. Now Litvinoff can say that Russia, France Co.

can do what they feel necessary for the "peace of Europe." on MM fowl SAN FRANCISCO, July 14.
