On the Record
American Policy Toward Soviet Held
Neither Principle Nor Realism

ecuted for plotting against the "se-
curity of the state" was sentenced
to death in. 1912, in absentia, or
the same charges-by the italian
Fascist occupation forces and then
local stooges. %
The Soviet Union is a vast land
power in the heart. of Eurasia. :He1
moves are periphera1 from the cen
ter, and for that purpose she. de-
centralized her armies Immediately
after the war.
AS each new country IS added
to the Soviet forces, its theoretical
sovereignty" is maintained = as
well as it's seat in the U. N. New
expansions are not committed by
the U. S. S. R. but by it's forward
guards, and these are protected in
the Security Council by the Soviet
veto. Thus the menace to Trieste
comes, not from the Soviets, but
from Yugoslavia; to Carinthia
(Austria) from Yugoslavia; to
Greece from Yugoslavia, Bulgaria
and Romania. And all are presented
in U. N. by the Soviets as internal
squabbles to interfere with which
would be an infringement of SOW
ereignty"
The Truman Doctrine is to Con
tain" such expansions. We are to
wait for each move and then pounce
anywhere from Manchuria to the
Adriatic-and do this from a CONT
nent oceanically isolated, whose
military power is chronological
naval and aerial.
Weapons Can't Contain 1t.
1t is great power, but precisely
that kind Of power that is useless
against the kind of expansion in the
places Russia chooses and may
choose. How, for instance, can we
deal with guerrilla war in Greece
with the atomic bomb? And how
enthusiastically will any people vel
come liberation" by being blown
up?
The brutal, realistic fact is that
Russian Bonapartism cannot b
halted on the periphery, but only
in the center; nor can it be CON
tanned" by any of our weapons. II
can only be destroyed by them.
Senator Styles Bridges, speaking
on September in Cleveland, said
Unless we can at once check Rus
sian aggression we shall have
substituted a Kremlin for Reich
stag" And he advocated a stern
answering course
But how to check and what un-
swerving course to follow neither
Senator Bridges nor anyone else Is
advocating in realistic terms. The
Truman Doctrine is not "unswerv-
ing" Its strategy is to swerve al
over the place, run our feet off, give
away our shirts, and always arrive
too late. 1t is a strategy which dig.

I aim to stay in Lima until the
Ecuadorians run out of bullets.
In many ways this is one of the
most attractive cities in South
America, but 1t is no place for
working man who is accompanied
by his wife 1t is city that only
a Rockefeller or a Mellon or a
Firestone or Ford should bring his
wife to, and the chances are that
man with such fortunes back of
him as those mentioned would leave
here by cattle boat or life raft to
save fare home. Jean, like all other
women I have ever known, simply
can't resist a bargain. She works
on the theory that 1t IS positively
wasteful not to buy every bargain
she sees. Strangely enough, she
sees darn few bargains for men.
Now She Buys F'urs.
Having worked over the silver
and gold market-what a sucker I
am to tip off the customs men like
this!-she is now busy with furs.
We have met many charming
Americans here, and each of the
wives has some pet store, some
favorite shop, where things can be
had for a song. Jean is going to
look mighty pretty when we get
home, all covered with silver and
gold and furs, but I am likely to
be picked up by the coppers as I

shorts, begging on the street cor

ago against a policy Of aggression
against the Western World, on the
theory that despite Americas mill
tary weakness she has war poten-
tials with which the Soviet must
reckon. Political commissars at
tached to the various army head
quarters see that the marshals do
not speak out of turn publicly or
privately on such subjects.
Hitler's policies have been care
fully studied. by Stain and members
of the Politbureau. They found that
one of the Nazi chieftain's major
mistakes was to permit his generals
to have too much influence during
the formative years of the Nazi
regime 1t is true that some gen.
erals who wanted to make Naziism
a tool of the army were purged. But
in the early stages of the war Hitler
allowed men like Rommel and Won
Rundstedt to obscure his own name
in public esteem.
The fact that there we're four
plots against Hitler's life, all led by
his trusted generals, and the fact
that even Rommel was involved in
these schemes led the Politbureau to
make certain that Russian marshals
are kept clear of politics and de-
prived of any political influence over
the men in their commands.
Commissars More Active.
Political commissars are more &C
tive today in the Russian army than
they were in the early days of it's
organization under Leon Trotsky.
Any report by them to Moscow that
a particular commander has become
doubtful" brings the officers trans
fer either to a remote post or to a
concentration camp, depending on
how grave his error was.
In a totalitarian state military
men are needed for combat purposes,
but in peacetime they may become
a nuisance and must be kept in their
place by the most stringent meas
ures, the Russians believe. This
belief was evidenced not only in Hit
ler's Third Reich, but also showed
itself in the U. S. S. R. when some
marshals, contaminated by contact
with the west, began to ask for re-
forms in order to give their former
soldiers a better living.
After the withdrawal Of the first
line Russian troops from Germany
and other defeated countries the
Politbureau was compelled to order
some drastic purges among Red
troops, who had discovered that
life in the western countries was not
as bad as their official propagandists
said. So long as they desired only
watches and music boxes the Krem-
lin did not object. But when they
wanted their own land and desired
less RECOMMENDATION drastic measures
were adopted. The wartime leaders,
to whom the soldiers necessarily
looked for leadership, were put
under strong restraints.

iron curtain" nor can any realism
In our policies be discerned.
When we call the Russians "un-
principled" we simply mean that
they do not uphold our principles
But they do, realistically, uphold the
logic of their own purposes.
Exporting for Imperialism.
The Soviet Union is in the epigontc
stage of a violent messianic revolt
ton, which means that 1t is Bona
partist.
1t is no longer revolutionary as
Robespierre and Lenin were. 1t is
exporting revolution for imperialist
purposes as Napoleon did.
The transformation from revolu-
ton to Bonapartism demonstratively
took place when the Russo German
pact was signed, and revolutionary
Russia joined hands with the
greatest enemy of communism in a
condominium for the division OF
spoils.
We know from evidence in cap
tured documents that the Soviets
offered a military alliance for a
price, and that the pact broke down
because Soviet demands proved in
compatible with German ambitions
Those demands and more were met
by the Allies.
In her new BonapartiSm Russia
proflts-as did Napoleon-from the
hopes and antipathies engendered
in groups outside Russia by the orig
inal revolution, whose ideas the
Soviets themselves have abandoned
Some of these backward gazers still
see the Soviet Union as bulWark
against reaction" And the masses
wherever the Soviet armies go, are
encouraged to slaughter and ex-
proprlate the aristocrats and in
tellectual bourgeois, not on ideologi-
cal grounds. but in order to leave
masses leaderless and remove those
people likely to oppose any form of
external domination. In this, Rus
sias game is solely power politics.

enthusiastically, on one occasion
I pointed out some Of the great deeds
that had been performed by Col
Mccormick by his own testimony
He. had introduced ROTC into the
schools and machine guns into the
Army. He had introduced mech
ariization and automatic rifles. He
had been the first officer to 60 up
in the air and observe artillery fire
He had been the first to advocate an
alliance with Canada and he alone
had forced the acquiring OF bases
in the Atlantic Ocean.
But now there has been an &C
complishment by the Colonel SC
startling as to convince the most
doubling of the Thomases. He has
made the skies to rain. OF course
people in the Chicago area had long
since attuned their ear drums te
the rumblings of portentous thunder
that were . traced TO the Tribune
Tower. But little did even the most
abject at the Mccormick shrine
ever have so much as passing
suspicion of what he really coulc
do when he let himself go.
" - The Rains Came.
1t has been a hot, dry summer In
the Middle West. Even Col. McCor-
mick did not seem able to prevent
that. All of the official records fol
the intensity of heat have been
broken. And with the heat came
a drought. The corn fields of even

Wheaton,? A lesser man would have
been jeered, especially by jealous
rivals. But no, the sagacious Colo
mel, with his genius for military
strategy, made a flank attack. If
he had failed in causing rain to fall
on st. Charles, no one would have
noted it. But rain produced from
the sky over st. Charles was almost
certain to reach the Colonel's
parched corn at Wheaton.
But what Col. Mccormick could
do, his Hearstian rival could at least
attempt. The very next day, the
Herald American played copy cat"
to the maestro by going into Kane
County where, in slavish imitation,
it produced rain 20 miles northwest
of Aurora. Over the following week
end, rain fell generously in Chicago
and in recording this in its Monday
morning paper, the Tribune re-
marked condescendingly: "Chicago's
rains were natural, the Weather
Bureau said, although some one was
in an airplane with dry ice trying
to induce rain as was done in the
successful experiment by the Trib-
une last week"

cant some one" was neither the

mick, with asperity, refused to claim
the credit which undoubtedly he
could have claimed, the Hearstians,
Enthusiastically, praised them
selves for making rain over Hyde
Park" It is needless to explain that
the Hyde Park" referred to is a
well-known section of Chicago. No
one connected with Hearst would
dare to permit, If he could prevent
it, drop of rain to fall on Hyde
Park, N. Y.
But why labor the obvious? If
Col. Mccormick can make rain, he
can also make the sun to shine. He
can mellow the icy blasts of winter
and, by his mere presence, serve as
an conditioner in the torrid
summer And how simple 1t would
be for him to bring order into the
affairs, not only of the world, but of
the universe. Who would have the
hardihood to stand up against a
ticket of miracle workers: Robert
Rutherford Mccormick of Illinois,
for President, and William Randolph
Hearst of California, for Vice Presi-
dent. And what platform it
would be: Freedom Of the press and
freedom of rain!
