this policy was that communism Cor
Socialism" as the Communists call
it, could be consolidated in a single
group of Eastern European states
through switching into line" of
all their domestic and external
policies. 1t was this Zhdanov pol
icy, incidentally, which caused the
death of Jan Masaryk.
The oprc ion, hoWever-accord-
ing to I ry-itself is divided
into ri and leftiStS. These
agree J one thing: Namely,
that communism cannot be consoli-
dated behind an iron curtain.
Nub of the Argument.
The rightists have been arguing
that industrialization must precede
socialism and have been urging a
period OF tactical collaboration with
the West and with Western capital
for the purpose of building a strong
Eastern industry. Until this has
been accomplished, they would go
slow on collectivizing peasant farms.
The leftists, who also agree that
socialism cannot be consolidated in
backward peasant states, reject CO.
operation with the Western powers
and capital and demand intensifi-
cation of the revolutionary offensive
by all means-including WARMTH
the object of embracing the indus
try Of the Ruhr and Western Eu-
rope. Meanwhile, they, too, would
go slow on collectivization Of peas
ant holdings, to avoid disunity and
weakening the war effort against
the West. 90
On which side of this argument
Tito stands is not clear. He would
appear to be a leftist-though he
is also, certainly an opportunist.
He may be conservative (relatively)
in his domestic policies because,
like the leftists, he is radical in for
eign policy.
Tito in Strong Position.
Tito is in an extraordinarily pow
erful position. For if he follows the
theories of the leftists, he might be

Eberstadt Seen as Leading Choice
For Secretary of National Defense

M-Day plans for mobilization of in
dustry in the event of war or crisis.
The Eberstadt recommendations
were duly forwarded to the White
House last spring where they: now
quietly gather dust.
| 1t is understood that Mr.. Truman
objected, to the report on two
grounds, He felt 1t was too bellig-
erent in tone, too greatly irnbued
with crisis atmosphere. And like
Mr.. Roosevelt he dissented from the
Eberstadt philosophy which seemed
to him to give too great control to
business and the military in war
time as divorced from the Govern
|ment.
Chance to Expound View.
Mr.. Eberstadt however is going
to have his chance to expound or
see expounded his general point of
view. He is currently working with
the Hoover Commission on the Re
organization of the Government in
survey of those Government agen-
cies which fall within the Security
Act of 1947 This is the act for
which Mr.. Eberstadt furnished the
framework to Secretary ForreStal.
The agencies include the unified Ma
tional Defense Establishment with
it's separate departments of War,
Navy and Air; the National Security
Council and the National Security
| Resources Board.
The sum of all these endeavors
would appear to qualify the New
Yorker as an expert on the Defense
post. 1t is agreed that his appoint
ment would disturb the continuity
of the establishment very little. In
some quarters which object to the
atmosphere created by Secretary
Forrestal and his many aides from
the canyons OF lower Broadway, this
is not a recommendation.
Politicians had been suggesting
Senator Martin of Pennsylvania who
led the break to Gov. Dewey at Phila-
delphia, or Senator Lodge of Mas
Sachusetts for the Defense post. But
the law stymieS them on two points;
they are debarred as recent soldiers
and as participants in the creation
of the department.

Western money now used in Berlin

posed by the Russians last spring.
Marshal Sokolovsky apparently
received other and more detailed
instructions, the most important
being that in whatever agreement
is reached, he must see to it that
the German government Of Berlin
Is lined up 100 per cent with Mos
cow and that Soviet military au-
thorities maintain their right to
inspect" all trafic between the
city and the Western occupation
zones.
In order to meet the first require
ments OF his superiors in the Krem-
lin, Marshal Sokolovsky ordered his
German stooges in the Eastern zone
to adopt gangster tactics to disrupt
the duly elected Communist
German city government.
Legal Government Ousted.
Gangs of German Communists,
supported by the Russian military
police, after two weeks of disturb
ances, have managed to oust the
legally elected government from the
City Hall, which they have taken
over for the establishment of
democratic" government.
Although it was agreed, when the
former German capital was divided
into four zones after the Potsdam
Conference, that each Allied ad-
ministration would have its own
German police to maintain law and
order, the Western powers police
are being bounded like ordinary
criminals because they dared pro-
tect the legal German city govern
ment.
In order to convince the 100000
Germans in Berlin that they can
not rely on the United States and
had better turn toward the U. S.
S. R., German Communists have
seized some of the policemen who
are officially under the protection

In Struggle Over Zhdanov Policy

able to precipitate a divided Soviet
Union into war as Belgrade, Mr..
Amery reminds us, has more than
once forced Russia into armed con-
fict. On the other hand, If Tito
believes the West would win a war,
he might join the rightlsts or even
the Western powers!
At any rate, if Zhdanov, who had
the full support of the MVD, mas
dropped from the picture from natu-
raj causes, the struggle between
rightists and leftists is likely to
become intensified. 1t will be IN
teresting to see what happens to
Malenkov.
If, however, Zhdanov has been
eliminated as the price of failure,
it can only mean that the aioof
Stain already had cast the decision
against him, and, by inference, with
either rightists or leftists.
Tito should find it possible to
reconcile himself with Moscow in
either case. If the leftists win out,
both his domestic and expansionist
foreign policies will find ratification.
If the rightists win, his domestic
policies. at least, will have been up
held. The facts will be revealed by
the course of Soviet policy-and by
observation of which personalities
advance or recede.
But if we see some appeaslng
gestures toward the West (the
triumph of the rightists), it would
be well to recognize that they are
purely temporary and tactical. The
one constant in communism is that
the "bourgeois" states and the so
cial Fascists" (non- Communist So
cialists) sooner or later must perish.

This Changing World
Reds in Lifting Berlin "Restrictions"
Seen Out to I'm pose Tighter Controls

French. In doing so, they are
strongly supported by hundreds of
trigeer-happy Russian Mongolian
soldiers.
Thus, Marshal Sokolovsky has
complied to the letter with instruc-
tons from Moscow that the parlia-
mentary government of Greater
Berlin should be abolished, regard
less of what the Western powers say
The Red marshal is doing an
equally good job in converting the
Western Allies into mere guests of
the Russians in their occupation Of
Berlin. Whether he will succeed
completely in stripping the Allies
Of their right to stay in Berlin re-
mains to be seen.
The replacement Of Western cur
rency by the Russian requires a
good deal of technical work. Mar
shal Sokolovsky's experts are CO.
operating with those of the Western
military governors, but they point
out that such an operation neces-
sarily requires number of safe
guards to prevent spectators and
black marketers from taking advan-
tage of the change.
Trick to Keep Controls.
From the little that is heard on
the progress of these parleys it
appears that Soviet technicians are
insisting that Russian authorities
have the right-for while at least
to search or investigate all in
coming and outgoing passenger and
freight traffic, moving by rail, road,
water and air, in order to assure
tnat the Soviet government is not
defrauded in the changeover.
This Is a neat trick to maintain
control over all movements of the
Western Allies from and to Berlin
without appearing, however, to
maintain the blockade which has
caused the present East-West ten
sion.
The Soviet technicians propose,
in fact, that while restrictions" on
the Western Allies officially will be
lifted and traffic permitted to re-
sumo, Russian authorities should be
given the right to check not only
surface but air transportation as
well, right which they have not
obtained even during these months
Of crisis.
Moscow, which outlines negotla-
tions for its subordinates in Berlin,
apparently believes that the West
ern Allies seek now only a face
saving device. And consequently it
proposes to give them the necessary
satisfaction of officially removing
existing restrictions" while, in fact,
imposing even greater control.
This the Western commanders
strenuously oppose at this time and
little progress appears to have been
made in the past few days toward
reconciliation of these divergent
points of view.

I am willing to wager that there
are more blades in Istanbul and
