This article presents information on the political development in the Soviet Union. V.M. Molotov has been purged and in his place Joseph Stalin is Prime Minister. Molotov has taken a back seat as Foreign Commissar -witness Stalin's direct conduct of the negotiations that led to the Soviet-Japanese pact in April 1941. The trouble started soon after Molotov returned from Berlin late last year. In February V. G. Dekanozov, Soviet ambassador to Germany, became a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party. That made him second to Molotov in the Soviet foreign service and thus a menace to Molotov. Simultaneously Paulina Zhemchuzhina, Molotov's wife, was demoted.
