In the first place, let us be clear

members rule the Soviet Union and
all other Communist countries with
one exception. Yugoslavia, and who
lay down the law for the Communist
parties throughout the world.
The Politburo is political. It is

This Changing World
Soviet Mending Its Fences in Asia
While Awaiting European Collapse

It appears that while the cold
war Is still one Of the main weapons
Of the men in the Kremlin, who
hope that France soon will collapse
into a state Of anarchy, the Soviet
is courting Turkey.
Reds Wooing Turkey.
The Soviet ambassador, Alexander
Lavrishev, recently gave a ball
which was attended by the Turkish
premier. During a lengthy con-
versation in the ambassadors study
he told Premier Hasan Saka thai
Turkey was making a big mistake
by joining the Western powers
when she had a common frontier
with the U. s. s. r.
The Russian also pointed out
that the United States not only is
very slow in providing equipment for
the Turkish army, but also exacts
heavy price for everything we
send to our Turkish friends.
The ambassador iA said further
to have emphasized the fact that
Turkey will find in the near future
that America demands usurious in
terest in the form OF concessions
on Turkish soil, and furthermore
that our industries are not geared
to provide the Turkish forces with
the large quantities of arms they
may require in case of war.
The Soviet envoy made himself
quite clear in urging the Turkish
government to reconsider its pres
ent policies in the light Of logistics
and availability Of war materials
in America, and reminded Mr.. Saka
that when in 1919 the Western
Allies were bent on destroying Tur-
key and Mustapha Kemal started
his resistance movement, which led
to the creation of the democratic
Turkish republic, it was Russia un-
der the leadership of Lenin which
provided Turkeys national hero
with the means to fight the allies
mercenaries.
Seen Realizing Mistakes.
This conversation, which was duly
reported to the Western govern
ments, is considered as an indica-
ton that the Kremlin realizes its
mistake in regard to Turkey and
wishes to detach that highly i'm
portant associate of the Western
powers by fine words instead of the
threats which have been used since
the end of the World War II.
The Soviet's enigmatic policy to-
ward the Arab states, its present
approaches to Turkey and its active
policy in China are believed by the
Western powers to show that Mos
COW is trying to mend its fences in
Asia while it waits for Western Eu-
rope to collapse under the activi-

arose from the incredible diplo-
matte victories won by Premier
Stain at Teheran, Yalta and Pots

them as incredible as, and even
greater than, Hitler's diplomatic
victories at Berchtesgaden, Codes
berg and Munich-as incredible as
the German-British naval treaty
and Hitler's unopposed reoccupation
of the Rhineland.
The Politburo did not anticipate
what amounted to an almost total
surrender of the West. 1t was
against Communist theory that
capitalist" countries should volun-
tarily open half of Europe to Com
munism. That they did so could
only be interpreted in Moscow as
a demonstration of such crumbling
interior weakness and insecurity as to
invite further moves. But for these
the Soviet Union, in the moments OF
its binding victory, had no detailed

Therefore, the first. and. for the
time being, only Soviet policy was
to keep what it had so miraculously

the theory that a revolution not
covered by military force must fail
Either the force must be provided
by mutinying armies in the wake
of a last war CRussia, as in 191D
by the capture of the army during

of Communism by an occupying Red

LOBBYISTS - The school
teacher lobby in past sessions of
the general assembly attracted a
good deal of attention. Despite
criticism by some legislators. the
lobby was effective in gaining
more consideration for school
teachers than for other state en-
ployees. The l949 legislature
will have two other employee
lobbies to deal with. The State
Employees Association and the
N. C. State Highway Employees
Association are both preparing
to keep lawmakers informed of
their needs and wishes with re-
spect to legislation. Neither
group has, as large membership
or as much experience as the

make up for that lack with
greater energy. None of the
three organizations is union in
