Abstract

American In Moscow

From some time, people of the U.S., have been doing business, steadily increasing, with Mezhdunarodnaja Kniga of Moscow, Russia, the all-embracing book-publishing, book-import and -export bureau for all the Russia. The book orders, nearly all for single copies of scholarly titles, are dispatched regularly to New York office for delivery direct to Soviet libraries, universities and institutes, arid equally regularly a monthly check arrives drawn on a New York bank. No problems of any kind, presented themselves in concretion with this business. Moscow is probably the cleanest city in the world and no parking is permitted on any street where traffic is heavy. Over the wide expanse of Red Square with hordes of people milling along the north or retail store side, not a scrap of paper is to be seen on the street, let alone a parked automobile.
