Role Of Greece

refused to replace the Ministers
of War and Public order. These
Ministers, particularly General
Zervas, former leader
of the Communist g%uerrillas,
are unpopular because they have
.signally failed to defeat the gller-
rillas or restore order. Despite
American support, internal condi-
tons are worse. Army morale is
at a low point and guerrilla
strength is growi n 6. American
military observers on the ground
report that it will take more arms,
more training, better a d fewer
officers and reform of the army
system in general to make an eff
fective force.
The revolt Of the more liberal
elements in the Cabinet reflects
the dissatisfied of the people
with the failure of the Govern
ment to defend them from terror.
ism from the extreme Right and
the extreme Left. Perhaps a po-
litical amnesty is impossible in
present circumstances, but no
serious attempt has been made to
bring it about, much less to make
a new approach to the solution Of
political problems. The politicians
continue to act as if a life-and-
death crisis we're a tug-of-war be-
tween parties for position. Mr..
leader Of tn biggest
group, a royalist party called the
Populists, is apparently confident
that he can form a broader"
government on the old formula.
We are committed to the de-
tense of Greece. An irked CORE
spondent writes that we are there
only to protect oil monopolies in
the Middle East. Certainly we are
in Greece in our own interests,
which may well include maintain
ing free access to oil reserves
which otherwise might become the
monopoly o. a single power, like
the observation-disclosures oil wells
Of Rumania. But our overpower-
ing interest is to prevent the
spread of aggressive totalitarian-
and make the world safe for
the United State and other free
nations to live in. The Greeks are
sorely beset, but they have their
part to play in this struggle. Their
is to make our hard
task easier by creating a govern
ment which will win the loyal sup
port Of the majority Of the people.

Facing The Russians


The Library of Congress report
on Soviet foreign policy contains
nothing very surprising, but it is
a valuable contribution to a grow
ing literature concerned with the
fascinating question of why the
Russians behave as they do. The
report is thus useful in the sense
that a scientific study clarifying
an abstruse formulation is the
more Qualification, the better YOU
a understand and deal with the
matter.
Not that Soviet foreign policy is
particularly abstruse. Indeed, it is
dangerously simple. But it ap-
pears in such contradictory forms
that people often fail to perceive
the fundamental simplicity of the
pattern. The aim of that policy, n
the words of the report. is "a com.
plete change of the worlds po,iti-
cal, economic, social and cultural
set-up, and at the base of Soviet
foreign policy lies the desire TO
make the world safe FOR Comnlun-
ISM or Sovietism." Completely 3D.
portunistic, the Soviets "play any
card available" at a given mo-
ment to pursue this policy, not ex-
Guiding the possibility Of war.
That being the case, what i. to
be done about it? Even if bv
checkmating the Russians at every
turn, we defer a shooting war. are
we and u children to 90 O, in
definitely under the incubus of a
threatened war, the sword Of the
kremlin forever poised above orr
troubled heads? 1t is a monstrous
prospect, enough to drive out anv
Joy OF living, and yet what are the
alternatives? A preventive war is
idiotic. The United Nations is in
capable of dealing with inc pro-
blem precisely because Russia IL
determined to carry out aims
which ~ opposed to those of the
United Nations and Cor this reason
