QeTOuS IapTlCaLlOQS ABOUT the
Communists.
In general 1t must be said that
the method of violence and acts
of violence is not the method of
the Communists. Quite the re-
verse: History proves that it is
the enemies of communism and
all kinds of agents of foreign Sc
|cret services that practice the
method Of violence and acts of
violence.
One need not go far afield for
examples. Quite recently, the
Premier Of Iran. the Premier of
Lebanon and the King of Jordan
were assassinated within a short
space of time. All these assaSsi-
nations were perpetrated with the
aim of forcibly altering the regime
in these countries. Who assassi-
mated them? Was it, perhaps, the
Communists, the supporters of the
Cominform? Surely it is ridicu-
lous even to ask such a question.
Perhaps, Mr.. Morrison. being bet
ter informed, could help us to
clear up this matter.
Mr.. Morrison asserts that the
North Atlantic pact is a defense
pact. that it has no aggressive
aims, that, on the contrary, 1t is
directed against aggression.
Omission From Pact Hid.
If this is true, why did the
initiators of the pact not invite
the Soviet Union to take part in
it? Why did they fence them
selves off from the Soviet Union?
Why did they conclude it behind
the U. S. S. RS back and in Sc
crecy from it? Has the U. S. S. r.
not proved that it can and is will
ing to combat aggression, such as
Hitlerite OF Japanese aggression? ?
Surely the U. S. S. r. did not fight
against aggression any worse
than, say, Norway, which is a
party to the pact? How then are
we to explain this surprising in
congruity. to say the least?
If the North Atlantic Pact is a
defense pact, why did the British
and Americans not agree to the
Soviet governments proposal to
have the nature of this pact dis
cussed i'll the Foreign Ministers
Council? AS is known, the Soviet
government offered to have all
the pacts it has concluded with
other countries discussed in the
Foreign Ministers Council. Why
are the British and Americans
afraid to tel! the truth about this
pact anc why did they refuse to
have the North Atlantic Pact dis
cussed? Was it not because the
North Atlantic Pact contains pro-
visions anout aggression against
the U. S. S. R., and the sponsors
of the pac1 are compelled to con-
tceal this from the public? Was it
not for that reason that the Labor
Government consented to Brit
aims conversion into a military
air base Of the United States OF
America for attacking the Soviet
Union?
That is why the Soviet people
regard the North Atlantic Pact
as an aggressive pact directed
against the u. S. S. r.
Allies Blamed for Korea.
Il This is borne out most striking
ly by the aggressive actions of the
Anglo-American ruling circles in
Korea. For over year now the
!; Anglo-American forces have been
, tormenting the freedom loving
and peaceful people of Korea, de-
Istroying Korean villages ano
towns, numbering women, children
and old folks. Can those san
, culinary actions of the Anglo
: American forces be called defense?
Who will claim that the British
. troops in Korea are defending
Britain from the Korean people?
Would it not be more honest to
Icall these actions military aggres-
sion?
Let Mr.. Morrison point to q
single Soviet soldier who has dis
