(Written for NEA Service)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20—lt was in l936—nine years ago - that President Roosevelt sent me to Russia to report on Russian strength and on which side Bus sis would fight if Hitler made war.

I first "came to know" Stalin through my reading in prepara- tion fo: the trip to Moscow. Later this background was greatly en- hanced by my personal contact with the man.

As l know Stalin, he is first a Russian and second an ardent ad- vocate for world security under peace based on law and order

Consistent with obtaining the security of his own country, he would, in my opinion, go as tar to project and maintain peace for the world as would any of the great leaders of the earth.

If he can participate in such an enterprise with the considerate cooperation of the Allies who fought at his side during the war. he will have rendered as great a service to the world in peace as he did in war.

Stalin's story is one of idealistic youth, courage, adventure and great achievement. He was ap- parently the devoted son of hum~ ble parents-a fine mother and a peasant shoemaker father in southern Russia,

ﬁn of President Roosevelt, Joseph I. Davin.

As a young man Stalin had been expelled from a religious seminary for his radical views. He became a bitter opponent of Czar- lsm—a revolutionary who "expro- priated" government funds by robbing banks to aid the revolu- tion, He was exiled to Siberia five time and five times he escaped.

Wlile in Russia I traveled ex- tensively. I saw their industry. their army, their great wealth. I studied their budget, their plants, their achievements and their lead- ers. And 1 came to the conclusion that but for the great executive ability and wisdom of one power- ful individual, this greatest econo- omic revolution in history could not have succeeded.

That individual was the Secre- tary of the Communist Party — Stalin.

As such he was not the titular head of the State and, therefore, he had not been accessible to the diplomats. It was not until 1938 when I was saying good-bye to Premier Molotov that I first pcr- sonally met Marshal Stalin at the Kremlin,

I was particularly struck by the informal friendliness and kindli- ness of his greeting, the obvious human qualities which would draw men to him. But he also gave me the impression of great capacity and power, i

MEI‘ STALIN AGAIN 1N 1943

Again in i943. as Special Envoy for President Roosevelt, I met the Marshal in Moscow. I had long conferenc s in the Kremlin with him and remler Molotov, in the course of which we discussed for hours the international situation and its problems

He looked older and worn - but fit. There was more wire-edge in his demeanor. He gave me the impression of being a man with his guard up, ‘

Only a few months before Prime Minister Churchill had visited Moscow to explain the change ll'l plans, the delay in delivery of supplies and the inability to open a second front in France. That was a bitter disappointment to the Soviet because of tho ‘load ;vhich the Red Army was carry- ng.

I was Impressed by the num- ber of times he used the word "why7” He was frank to the

point of bluntness. The facts of any situation discussed were at the tip of his tongue.

He stated his own position sim- ply, but ﬂuently. He knew exact- ly what he would do, He empha- sized that relations required recl- procity to be permanent. I-Ie want- ed every engagement into which he entered clearly defined. Ha impressed rne then as he had ap- parently impressed Wendell Will- kie, Donald Nelson, Eric Johnston and many of our top military lead- ers as a man could be relied upon to live up to his word.

PRAISED BY CHURCHILL

ltLv impressions generally were summed up by the brilliant com- merit of Prime Minister Churchill inléhe House of Commons when h- sa :

“It is fortunate for Russia to have this great, rugged war chief

and strong personality, of inex- hausilble courage and will power ....a man direct and oven blunt in speechma man with a sav- ing sense of humor of deep, cool wisdom and complete absence of illusion of any kind."

I came away from Moscow in i943 with the conviction that while he was hard-boiled, he was tllso a practical-minded Idealist. There was no doubt in my mind hut: that he wanted peace for the World because, realistically Rus- sia needed it. But beyon any question, in my opinion, his pri-- mary concern was for the security of his people from outside physical attack,

He was suspicious, too - very much from Missouri, as we say. Before he would completely trust

our good will and intentions, but he had doubts as to the disposi- tion of our people to appreciate the facts of life in connection with the necessity for building confl- denq; through a common-sense approach to realities,

The next time 1 mét Generalis- simo Stalin was at the Potsdam Conference this summer. l-le look- ed older, less wire-edged. At the

formal dinners - which, by the u)

way, I found most useful in pro- moting better understanding - he was again the life of the party. kindly and always with a twinkle in his eye.

At the conference table, I had an opportunity to observe him close-up for many hours and over many days. Here was the first critical test of whether Allied unity could be preserved after the fighting to win the peace.

It was apparent that, consistent with safeguarding what he con- sidered vital matters to his coun- try, he was bending every effort, through accommodation and con- cession, to find an accord which would achieve unity for peace. Re.- pcaledly, he acceded to the sug- gestions of President Truman.

In a letter back home, I find I wrote the following, which probably best expresses my pic- ture of Stalin as I saw him there:

"Stalin is extraordinary in ihcse discussions across the table. Every now and then, in his interchanges with Churchill, Ill‘ starlles and commands altcntiou hv his display of sheer mental power and h Capacity for vxicmiioi-c argument.

“I watched him a great deal as he sat. in his chair at the table, listening — sometimes smilingly, sometimes otherwise - his eyes closed, a cigaret in his hand. He rarely interjected. He always wait- ed until the speaker had concluded and then asked President Truman, the chairman, for permission to reply,

“When he spoke, it was tersely. Each sentence was a naked idea without embroidery. He cﬂpllcd them off with the precision of a machine gun, and logically,

"He has a retentive mind, He takes up the opposing argument point by point, and seratim ana- yzes each-from his poi.nt of view-with counter-facts and argu- ments.

“Frequently he would digress from the immediate point to dis. cuss its relation to the broader international picture. When he scored a ‘soft point’ of argument, it would be with a twinkle in his

cye. STALIN WELL NAMED

"I am impressed with the fact that at all timcs he is thinking realistically in terms of the vital securities of his country. He well named ‘Stalin’ — which means ‘steel.’ There is a grim hardness in his face when he is aroused and feels that he is being pressed too far. ‘There ls a coldness when he says, "nol"

In conclusion, I would say that he is one of the great men of this or any other time.

As an international statesman, in 1939 he bought time to prepare for Hitler's inevitable attack. He mobilized a great army from scratch. He mobilized his people

In i941 and 1952 he traded space for time and retreated into his own land in the face of an on- slaught of three million Germans on a 1600 mile front and hundreds

of miles in depth. Under his lead- "lb ershlp, his people scorched

their own earth, and the Red Army then of their country.
