A new Commissariat for the Interior is to be established and a great struggle has been going on be- tween highly-placed officials concerning the first holder of the new post.
Settlement of this dispute will be followed by a revolutionary change in the entire system of the Soviet administration of justice and the approach of that system to the methods of democratic countries of the Western world. That revolution is imminent; is, indeed, already being enacted.
