Stalin Prepared To Meet Western Powers Half Way

London, Oct. 23.—Mr Konni Zilliacus said today that Premier Josef Stalin told an unofficial delegation of British Labour Members of Parliament that the establishment of the Cominform (Communist Information Bureau) did not alter Russin's desire to mend her relations with the United States and Britain.

Mr Zilliacus, "rebel" Left wing Labourite, led a delegation of eight which called on Premier Stalin at his villa hideaway high in the Caucasian - foothills overlooking the Black Sea, at Sochi, on October 14.

He said Stalin reported that Russia was willing to go half way in meeting the Western democracies "regard. less of any differences in economic and social systems." Stalin denied the Cominform was a revival of the Comin- tern (Communist International). "It would be stupid to try to turn back the wheel of history," Zillincus quoted Stalin as saying.
