The 10Th congress of the ALI
Union Soviet Communist Party
produced an open declaration OF
ceaseless political-economic wal
on the United States. And, al
most escaping notice in the midst
of Moscow's portentous announce

Communist International-read in
the Soviet press the plans of the
World Federation of Trade Unions

Europe the emphasis is first on
France and then on Italy.
3. To promote such things as

Soviet leaders now fondly and
repeatedly refer to "the interna-
tional authority of the USSR"-
meaning eventual world pre-
eminence of Communism. The
group now in control of the So
Wet Union is made up of cold, ded-
icated zealots who have grown up

enkov, who moves with calculating
caution and eyes the long-range,
cheap victory.

is not likely to be any headlong
plunge into an adventure that
would blow up in war. He is keep
