WHY STALIN CHANGED HIS TUNE.

SOVIET MUST PAY ITS

WAY

Moscow, July 7.-Wage révision, with the idea of equality, abandon- ed, in accord with the recent in- structions of Stalin, has already begun in some parts of Russia

Light may now be thrown on the reasons underlying the Soviot's change of front.

For iix years," Stalin declared, they have gone on promising to invade us and have not once inter- voned and the hopes of our enemies nt home in intervention are shown, for thin moment at least, to have been built on aud."

Invailen Talk Dropped. Here, at last, we have Stalin's explanation of why the fierce call. to the masses to resist imminent 2.40 invasion, and to destroy the legion of hidden friends of the foreign foo was rather suddenly dropped a few

4.84 change in international politics weeks ago without any perceptible-

seeming to warrant it, and why 3.9 milder methods have been adopted:

Realistic reasons are everywhere 21 discernible for Stalin's brilliant 3.94 apologia. for dropping tactics which halped to bring the Bolsheviks, through the critical period when the last vestigos of individualism were bolag smashed in town and village alike, but which would have proved too costly in money, indus trial officiency, and even in lahour morale if prolonged indefinitely, The foreign world will be most interested in the virtual dropping of the invasion talk. But Stalin's chief pre-occupation--more efficient production to create new financial resources to replace the old ones already used up-s "also of great interest to the world of business.
