Mr.. Luckman's request for a two
month closure. Thirty-six distillers,
representing several times as MANY

The pact was made despite an
eleventh-hour effort by Harold
Krieger. general. counsel of the AFL
International Distillery Reotifying

a Today postponement.
Mr.. Krieger was invited into the
three-hour meeting, and suggested
that industry, union and committee
try to work out a half-operation
plan which, he said, would assure
that workers would not be thrown
out of jobs as the holiday season
nears. The complete shutdown, he
said, will save little grain, and
fourth-rate grain at that.
When overruled, Mr.. Krieger flew
back to Louisville, KY, last night.
There he said he planned to discuss
with union officials the filing of a
court suit to enjoin the employers
from closing the plants.

Seven Possible Outlets.
In every country counter-Com-
munist agencies must now reckon
with seven possible outlets-all pro-
tected by diplomatic immunity
where there were only Soviet en-
bassy and economic agencies hither-
to.
In the present period of prepara-
ton for open anticapitalist war,
as IN 19l9-1943, it remains true that
the Communist parties and the in
dustrial unions penetrated by them
about Is in America-are the
spearhead. America is the enemy.
There are Soviet attacks in the
rear as well as frontally. wherever
the United States leaves an opening.
For example, when President Tru-
man makes an unreservedly pro-
Zionist speech, the Russians make
hay with the whole Islamic world
from Dakar to Afghanistan.
When American food is voted for
Germany, Polish and Czech Com
munists make persuasive use of this
help to an eX-enemy. When the
Soviets are loud and America silent
on the colonial wars in Asia, the
Communists gain.
The general Communist objectives
are to talk big game in Europe
and blackmail America into more
loans" building high the pyramid
Of depression.
To bleed America white and thus
win an unarmed, impotent isolation
and new vacuums to fill-that is
the Soviet aim.

a more dynamic and complex

With the Balkans already in

sarily imminent-ef1ort by the
Communist Parties to take over
Western Europe, partly by politi-
cal elections, partly by armed

Officially the Comintern CD is

it is alive and flourishing. The

have their own tactical direction.
But the Comintern Is subordi-

The Restaurant Industry Advisory
Committee issued a statement PROM
Using to Cooperate on this WORTH
while program" and volunteering to
publicize it by posters, notices clipped
on menus and other means.
The advisory groups chairman,
George r. Lesauvage of New York,
is both president of the National
Restaurant Association, Inc, and a
member of Mr.. Luckman's 26-mem-
ber citizens committee.
Nevertheless, it was uncertain how
binding the pledge would be re-
garded by the Nations restaurant
and lunch-counter operators. In
many cities compliance has been
only partial. and some local and
State associations have protested
that other conservation steps would
be more effective than the diet-days
asked by Mr.. Luckman.
A full array of such practices was
adopted by the Industry Committee
in its 17-point saving plan. 1t con-
cluded:
The serving of fair but not ex-
cessive portions"
Serving bread and butter only on
request.
= Limiting the number of crackers
with soup and cheese.
Hating the custom of trimming
toast of sandwich crusts.
Eliminating 'three-layer cakes
during the emergency"
Curtailing the use of scarce, high
priced foods, and using surplus items
to the greatest extent"
Serving oatmeal bread and cakes,
or other substitutes, instead of
wheat products.
Limiting butter to one pat per
meal.
Encouraging boiled dressings in
stead of oil dressings.

The Americans pull out of Italy,
nation of 46,000,0 900 in ferment, not
reserving themselves even a base
for their Mediterranean fleet nor a
field for their bombers.
AS long as the Red Army remains
in Germany, Eastern Europes two
most powerful countries, Poland
and Czechoslovakia, are clenched in
the Communist nutcracker.
The squeeze is gentle. The Krem-
lin sees no need to help anti-Com-
munists in these countries by open
pressure or excesses, inasmuch as
their economies and policies are sub
servient already.
But in a military sense the Red
Army's right of transit to Germany
used mainly in Poland-is decisive.
Communication Troops"
As long as the Red Army remains
in Austria, Southeastern Europe
likewise lies trussed on the table
The peace treaties, with Americas
costly signatures on them, give Rus
sia the right to maintain "communi-
cations troops" in Romania and
Hungary until Austria is settled.
The Communist relationships Of
Albania's Enver Hoxha and Yugo-
slavia's Marshal Tito, the most alb
solute in the Balkans, take care of
the Adriatic. The homeless Ameri-
can Mediterranean Fleet now uses
that inland sea on their tolerance.
After the Red Army the newest
political instrument of the Politburo
is the Peoples Front"
The old popular front technique
which shattered France before the
war is now being used to join Com
munists and compliant leftish So
cialists in Communist-steered "Peo-
pies Fronts"
This technique widens the parlia-
mentary base of the Communist
Party and makes it possible to ma
neuver the legitimate opposition
into a place where it depends on
the permission of the Peoples Front
for existence. Take away. that per-
mission and the opposition goes
down in an inquisition of treason"
trials and witch hunting.
Peoples Front Congress.
The Peoples Front Congress is a
sort OF limited style comintern, but
the purpose seems to be mainly
boosting through propaganda and
open self-criticism. In his speech
to the September congress in Bel
grade Tito gave the delegates a
sharp dressing down for not being
aggressive enough.
Another useful and little suspected
instrument of the Soyiets is the
Russian Orthodox church. The
church is handy both to attack the

the two main security bureaus

bureaus receive direct reports

seph E. Davis leading the chorus.
Never Dissolved.
Actually the Comintern never was
dissolved. It merely went undei-
ground inside communism.
In the Canadian atom bomb spy
case the Soviet agents papers still
referred to the Comintern in 1945.
Victor Kravchenko, former Soviet
purchasing agent, who deserted and
took refuge in the United States,
described the dissolution as ina
neuver."
The Comintern became less prom
inent in the 1945-1947 period of Com
munist consolidation In Eastern
Europe because the situation had
raced ahead beyond comintern juris-
diction.
Stain was able to deal directly
through his army marshals, like
Voroshilov, for example, who named
the Communist Minister of the In
terror in Hungary without Ameri-
can dissent.
The Comintern is still functioning
today, unconnected with the new
information bureau at Belgrade
which some observers have mis-
takenly termed revived Comm
tern" The Comintern never died
and so never needed to be revived.
Time Aids Red Army.
In postwar Europe the Politburo
and Comintern are the brains of
revolution, but the Red Army is the
tool. Time is on their side.
The peace treaties are signed. but
their provisions weaken only the al
ready enfeebled American forces in

Army.

adjourned, the Hungarian revolt
broke out. In another fortnight the
Bavarian Communist government
had been formed. BY June there
was a Red putsch in Vienna.
All three revolts failed. So did
the revolt of George Dimitrov, fu-
ture leader Of the Comintern, In
Bulgaria in 1923. So did Stain s
effort in Canton, China, in 1927.
Reason for Failure.
The reason in all cases was the
same-no Red Army was on hand
to keep order" To keep order"
mean to give arms, hence power, to
the Communist Party and deny
them to all others, thus excluding
all other solutions but a Communist
one.
To Communists, parliaments, ma
tional or international, are only
sounding boards like newspapers
and radio. A meeting is only an
outlet for propaganda; real action
takes place outside.
All legislated aims are reform
ism," temporary and tactical only.
The great end aim is dictatorship
by the Politburo "for the masses. +"
OF course, If dictatorship could
be achieved by parliamentary means,
the Communists would not refuse
it.
But they live and act on the
assumption that power can be ac-
quired only by force. The axiom
has proved correct.
Instruments of Force.
What are the instruments of
force?
The revolutionary doctrine always
held-until 1943-1947 changed it
that the Communist Party in any
country first must penetrate the
trade unions and the army and i'm
pose local revolution through win
ming them over.
The cautious Lenin always in
sisted that there also must be a
reserve force of workers" behind
this spearhead. prepared to make
sure that the Communist unions
and army could not yield in a crisis,
pushing them from behind as well
as following them.
The great American retreat from
Eastern Europe, once dominated and
then abandoned by the American
Air Force, opened the way for a new
StaliniSt technique, rendering Len-
ms out of date. A vacuum of power
was created by this retreat.
To establish communism in this
vacuum neither trade union nor
local army was necessary. The Red
Army could play the role of both.
Not even crisis of hunger. need
or destruction was necessary.
Czechoslovakia came through the
war almost unscathed. and Bulgaria
and Romania hardly suffered q
scratch. Yet they fell.
Only Nucleus Required.

background with folded arms.

doctrine of Moscow, the third
Rome" which is Goth century COM
munism.
Recent dispatches from Korea say
that the Russian church in Seoul in
the American zone is being used as
post Office of Soviet espionage.
In the world plan the immediate
assignment of the Moscow patriarch,
Alexei, seems to be to bring the
Istanbul patriarch, Maximos, under
his control Alexei recently invited
all patriarchs to Moscow, but Maxi
mos refused.
1be Bulgarian Orthodox Church,
oiled with Soviet aid, is already a
willing creature of the new, pious
Politburo.
Youth "Feeder Belts"
Organizations like the August
Youth Festival in Prague are feeder
belts for proselyting youth. The
technique is to propose to politically
inexperienced students q large hu-
manitarian dilemma like How shall
better wages be obtained for the
worlds workers." q
The Communist belwethers then
answer them in the Marxist terms,
while spokesmen for free enter
prise never get the floor. It is the
old technique Of excluding a hearing
to every other solution but the Com
munist one, and then solving" the
question.
Veterans organizations are also
convenient hosts for the penetration
of communism. This attempt in the
United States resulted in a split in
the American Veterans Committee.
But in countries where there is no
real army, and the veterans organi-
cations are partisan controlled, the
movement is good cover for Com
munists.
In many countries there are ma
tionalists veterans groups which
partly of ff-balance the Communist
penetrated ones.
The full dimensions of Soviet
penetration among the veterans
cannot be measured until the last
German and Japanese veterans,
trained as agitators in Soviet prison
camps, come home and feel safe to
start their work. The fifth column
has hardly broken the surface yet,
because Americans are still in Ger
many and Japan.
Soviet Diplomacy"
Soviet diplomacy" meaning not
only legitimate missions but also
that horde of governmental agents
Of all kinds that descends on un-
guarded countries, makes another
wing of the new, vastly improved
Soviet net. While at peace with
Japan during the Pacific war, Russia
kept eight times as many people at
Canberra, the Australian capital, as
did the United States which was
carrying the main burden of the war
Today there are about nine Rus
SLAMS Officially" in the United States
for every American in Russia.
Lately there has been the new
invasion of diplomatic" missions
from the seven Soviet satellites. The
anti Communist diplomats all have
been fired, reassigned overseas or
thrown into prison at home. The
missions are almost purely COM
munistic. The missions of the seven
Soviet satellites represent q new
spread OF listening posts for inter-
national communism.
These satellite missions are now.
