BEHIND THE SCENES.
The 30th Congress of the Com munist Party recently held in Moscow has re-elected the Political and Organization Bureaux of the Central Committee, which are the omnipotent bodies that exercise complete control over the Soviet Government and the Third later nationale. While nominally, writes Russia correspondent," the Soviet Government is supposed to have nothing in common with the Communist or Third International, and great pains are taken by Moscow to ensure that not a single member of the Soviet of People's Commissaries is elected to the Executive Committee of the Comintern, this is merely a farce, the sole object of which is to deceive public opinion abroad and provide the Sovjet agents in foreign countries, with portunity to dissociate themselves from any action taken by the Comintern which may cause them
unpleasant moments.

London, July 7:-Mr. Harry Dixon, who controls a large group of cotton gillis in the Oldham dis- triot, disagrees with the statement, päblished in Friday's" Daily Mail," of Mr. W. M. Rankin, of Burnham Municipal College, that men from public schools and universities fail in business."
Mr. Dixon told a "Daily Mail"] reporter that some years ago his group tried the experiment of training three young men from Cambridge for controlling posts...
They had to take their jackets, off and go through all the techni cal processes. To-day they are fully qualified for the best and most responsible jobs we have. op- We have since secured three others, and we shall continue to look to the universities for such then.""
The lists of the newly-elected members of the Politbureau and Orgbureau provide interesting data for speculation as to who is the man who rales Soviet Russia and the Third Internationale from behind the scenes, and who has been chosen to replace Lenin' as Dictator.
