British Commonwealth. There is a palpable tendency in Moscow to imitate the British set up. The most striking step yet taken by the Kremlin in this di rection was the constitutional amendment ot Feb. 1, 1944, which authorized the 16 constitutent re publics of the Soviet Union to "en ter into direct relations with foreign states, to conclude agree ments with them and exchange diplomatic and consular repre sentatives with them." This privil ege previously was reserved to the central government. Red "Dominions'' Thus, the first Soviet "domin ions" were born: White Russia and the Ukraine. Both are mem bers in their own right of the United Nations Organization, where the latter, in particular, al ready has played a conspicuous role. Neither of these two enjoys an Independence comparable to that ot Canada or any other British dominion. Empires like the Brit ish Commonwealth grow organi cally. They are not created by a stroke of the pen. . Hence the difference between the new Soviet setup and that of Great Britain is as wide as Rus sia's concept of democracy Is apart from ours. The political trend in the So viet Union, however, is toward a more loosely organized federa tion than in the past. This is a development of outstanding im portance from an international point of view. It has greatly en hanced the attraction of the-Soviet for its neighbors. In Soviet Orbit Countries that for many years were obsessed with fear of being "gobbled up" by Russia now gravitate, with apparent uncon cern, to the Soviet orbit. Czechoslovakia, for example, feels more at ease dealing with the Ukraine now Its immediate neighbor than with Moscow di rectly. Poland would rather set tle a point at issue with the gov ernment of White Russia than with the Kremlin. The setup mny be Illusory, but It has proven effective. Since the defeat of Germany, which made further westward expansion possible, Moscow has worked persistently, and with considerable success, at the es tablishment of a vast system ot satellites, outside . the Soviet Union, but influenced and closely controlled by it. Bids for Friendship It would be an oversimplifica tion to say that Russia is out to "bulshevize" her neighbors. Stalin and his advisers know very well that to do so at this time would be a first-rate blunder. Whatever their ultimate aims mny be, their present policy Is not to absorb or to proselytize, but to "win friends and influence people." Not, perhaps, in the Big Three councils, but certainly among Russia s direct neighbors. A survey of eastern and cen tral Europe permits these certain conclusions: (1) There has been no attempt to introduce the Bolshvist sys tem of government into any coun try outside the territorial limits of the Soviet Union, as constitut ed jn 1940. Nowhere is the Com munist party in exclusive control, but everywhere it holds key po sitions in the administration. There has been widespread na tionalization of industries, and seizure of land for panellation, but the collective system of agri culture has not been introduced anywhere and there is still room for private enterprise in farming, trade, and light industries. (2) The great majority oi heads of state and prime minis ters are neither Communist party members, nor fellow travellers, but are men of bourgeois origin and of moderate views, ranging from conservative to Socialist. All of them, however, are pro Russian and willing to accept in direct control by Moscow-trained Communists. ' (S) Only Poland and Czecho slovakia are independent in fact as well as in name and even these have accepted Russian supervi sion of their foreign and economic policies. Their privileged status in the' Soviet orbit is due to the fact that they were Russia's allies in the war. (4) All former enemies Fin land, Bulgaria, Romania, Hun gary, as well as the former allies, Yugoslavia and Albania, today are to all practical purposes de pendencies of the Soviet. This is, in the case of the former four, the result of the armistice treat ies, but with the latter two it is voluntary, due to ideological af finity. Stalin Rules by Proxy In all those countries, Stalin rules as effecively as at home, though by proxy. The men who locally exercise supreme author ity are, in effect, his viceroys. They have either been hand picked by him, or they govern on sufferance. All of them refer issues of fun damental Importance to Moscow for decision. None would dare an tagonize Stalin. There Is com paratively little Interference by Russia in the country's Internal affairs. Who are these men and where do they come from? What were their lives and rec ords before they became Stalin's viceroys, voluntarily or by force of circumstances? What have they achieved and what are their plans for the fu ture? . In dispatches to follow, NEA shall review them individually, each in his own national setting and against his social and politi cal background. They are: Julio Paasiklvl, Finland. Petrlu Groza, Romania. Kimon Keorgieff, Bulgaria. Zoltan Tlldy, Hungary. Tito, Yugoslavia. Enver Hoxha, Albania. Wood Products Researchllrged A resolution urging expanded research by private and federal groups on utilization of wood waste was adopted at a meeting of the Western States Council at Butte, Mont., it was reported Thursday by Manager Fred Brenne of the Eugene Chamber of Commerce. Brenne returned Wednesday from attending the session as a representative of Ore gon chambers of commerce. The action puts back of the re search proposal representatives from II western states. Brenne and Arthur Farmer, manager of the Portland chamber, stressed the need, pointing to the Willam ette Valley Wood Chemical Co. plant at Springfield as an example of wood waste utilization. Brenne was chairman of a committee to present the facts on the problem. The resolution will go to sev eral hundreds chambers in the western states for their approval, upon which they will contact their congressmen urging addi tional funds for research. Brenne said that he feels prog ress was made by the council in launching cooperative effort to further projects of benefit to west ern states.
