PLANNING CAMPAIGN

Kaunas, Yesterday. Press reports from Moș- ców state that the Comin- tern is multiplying its per- sonnel with a view to de- veloping the scope of its ac- tion abroad while larger sums are being spent on foreign propaganda.

Meanwhile the Soviet population is apparently unaware of the Krem- lin's foreign policy, but it is under- stood that the upper Communist cir- cles are divided as to the main lines of Soviet action abroad; some advo- cate the continuation of co-operation with Germany and encourage the present tension in Soviet-Allied re- lations with the ultimate hope of spreading the war and provoking re- volutions in foreign countries.
Others recommend a more moder- ate foreign policy, speedy termina- the
tion of the Finnish All
war, improve- ment of relations with the Democra- cles and giving up imperialistic am- bitions in the Balkans and Near East in order to concentrate efforts on the Soviet's internal development.-
