Communist Strategy Is to Pick Up
Pieces of Defeated Labor Party

likened them to Swine" In
another speech he said that
Christianity and conservatism
are inconsistent, whereupon
the Conservatives struck back
with the cry that he had called
a lot of respectable Britishers
"heathens."
If the Labor Party loses,
the Bevanites will claim that
the Attlee, Morrison and Cats
kell leadership has been dis
credited and that more ag-
gressive policies are needed
such as more instead of less
naturalization and more OPP
position to American policies
in the world, plus the prohibit
ton of the use of the hydrogen
bomb by Britain and her al
lies. This will be meat for the
Communists, of course, whose
main objective seems to be to
promote and intensity discord
and disunity all along the line.
Something of the nature of
the Communist intrigue can be
derived from a story being told
about the British newspaper
strike which ran rs days.
Although 1t was initiated by
two small unions Of mechan-
ical employees, one dominated
by Communist officers, the
other unions did not dare to
so to work independently.
Finally, in a sensational con-
ference between one of the
leaders of the strike and Sir
Walter Monckton, minister
of labor in the Conservative
government, the union spokes-
man who was a Communist
admitted that the purpose of
the strike was to promote as
much trouble as possible for
the nation. When Sir Walter
threatened to tell the House of
Commons the full story. the
labor leader agreed to terms.
1t is significant that Sir
Hartley Shawcross, attorney
general in the last Socialist
Labor government, in a cam
paign speech a few days ago
about the wave of unofficial
strikes and jurisdictional dis
putes, said that many were
inspired by Communists"

Good Guess Is Tito and Russians
Will Discuss Mutual Economic Ills

Anyone can speculate about
the discussions in Belgrade be-
tween Marshal Tito and the
impressive top level Soviet
visitors.
President Vincent Auriol of
France stated last week that
.Yugoslavia will not enter the
Soviet bloc and that it would
be dangerous for the West to
withdraw economic support
for Marshal Tito. The headline
of this story said" Soviet WOO
ing will fail" This assumes
that the Soviets will try to
WOO Tito into~the Communist
bloc of nations.
l am sure the assumption is
utterly false and misleading.
The Soviets today want eX-
actly what Tito wants-that
Yugoslavia should be a link
In a neutral" belt.
So what are the representa-
tiveS and great and a small
Communist state going to hash
over together?
A former diplomat Of an
East European state within the
Soviet bloc expressed an opin-
ion in a conversation with me
the other day. His opinions are
always deliberate, inspired by
long experience, and resting
upon unremitting observations
sieved through a discerning
mind.
He believes that the func-
tionaries Of the two states are
meeting primarily to discuss
the common economic predic-
ament and ways for alternating
1t.
Tito's country, despite West
ern economic aid, is in a bad
way internally and so is the
Soviet Union. Theoretical COM
munis1n just isn't producing
satisfactory economic results
in either country. Changes
have to be made in the d.
rection Of liberalizing the

economies if they are to be-
come more productive.
On the other hand both gov
ernments have encountered
the dilemma that a little free
dom awakens the appetite for
more. The question is how
much can be granted without
endangering the regimes
themselves-how can neces-
sary reappraisals and read
justments be prevented from
turning into a rout?
Both regimes have had ex-
perience of this danger.
Years ago the USSR decided
to open the letter columns Of
the press to communications
on the relatively harmless
question of whether birth con-
troll should be opposed or con-
doned. The letters developed
into a bitter criticism Of con-
ditions in general, with the re-
current refrain, why should
we have more children when
we can't feed the ones we
have?" So it was promptly
called off.
The emphasis on consumers
goods started by Malenkov had
to be restrained lest 1t 60 so
far as to threaten all heavy
industry. In Yugoslavia, lead
ers who furthered the New
Look-with Marshal Tito's
original backing-also had to
be called back and reproyed
for going too far.
Changes suggested by social
and economic conditions can
not be accomplished with an
economy geared to an ever
accelerated war effort and sat
elite demands. Therefore ere
taxation of tensions" is essen
tial. 1t is required also for
face-saving purposes. For were
relations with the West placed
on a pseudo-friendly basis

measures that could not be
justified by Communist theory
could be attributed to the de-

Tito: A Fish Out of Red Waters

to join the Eastern bloc In
the same way as before 1948-
at least not for the present.
But in the present phony drive
for peace the aims and slo-
gans of Moscow and Belgrade
are the same: Active and
peaceful coexistence.
The strategy adopted by
Moscow to prevent the rearm-
ament of West Germany is
now common knowledge. It
aims at encouraging by all
means the formation of neu-
traI and neutralizing centers
like Austria in order to set UP
an uninterrupted chain Of
neutral countries from Scan
dinavia to the Mediterranean.
thus hampering the West, and
especially the United States. in
building up its planned de-
lenses in Europe. Tito, while
maintaining his stand Of "in-
dependence" of the Eastern
and Western coalitions. is in
full sympathy with the Soviet
strategy
Tito may give lip service to
the West from whom he expects
continued economic and mill
tary aid and military equip
ment. He may oppose the
naturalization of Germany in
which he has little to say. But
he has sided entirely with his
Communist allies in demand
ing the solutions proposed by
the Reds in Far Eastern af-
fairs. And we must admit that
he has not done this behind
our backs. During his recent
trip to India and Burma, he
placed himself on record as
supporting entry of the Chi
nese Communists into the
United Nations and resolving
the Formosa Strait problems
in keeping with the views Of
Chou En-lai and Prime Min
lister Nehru.
A close and impartial ex-
animation of Tito's recent &C.
tivities must lead to the con-
clusion that the fish on shore
has already managed to get at
least it's head in the water
again.

Vermont in introducing Mr.. Eli

tween Washington and his farm
at Gettysburg. Pa, Senator Aiken
said with a broad smile:
1T is my earnest hope that he
will remain a part-time farmer
for some time to come-say
around five or six years"
Senator Aiken went on to say
that much progress toward last
ing world peace has been made
under Mr.. Eisenhower.
Touches Of More Applause
Certainly we can spare one
farmer to carry on this noble
work." the Senator declared,
touching of another burst of APP
plause.
Mr.. Eisenhower laughed heart
lily but in his talk gave not the
slightest hint of his 1856 plans.
Within an hour after he left
the flag -bedecked platform he
was casting happily for trout in
fast-running Furnace Brook.
After breakfast this morning he
went out to try his luck again.
The President caught three in
about rs minutes of trying but
decided they were too small to
keep. He used a new fly rod pre-
sented to him at the fairgrounds.
The gifts also included q brown
Swiss heifer for his farm and a

President Eisenhower travels into

laughing off a jovial plea-with
a serious undertone-that he
seek second term.
1t was in New Hampshire's
1852 presidential primary that
Mr.. Eisenhower got an early
boost toward the White House.
The President, on a tour Of
Northern New England, arranged
to fly to Concord, N. H., this
afternoon for an address from
the steps of the State Capitol.
The President breakfasted at

he had made some new friends
among a people with whom I
am going to leave a big portion
Of my heart"
Stresses U. S. Strength
The President arrived in Rut-
land from Washington about
midday yesterday and q couple
of hours later at the fairgrounds

at $4,000 that America always
will extend "the oliye branch"
of peace ito all who will take
1t in honesty and integrity" But
he stressed that the U. S. also
intends to remain strong.
1t was the second time this
week that Mr.. Eisenhower-with
the start of the Geneva Big Four
Conference less than month
away-had emphasized that this
country. is determined to win
an enduring peace. The other

"A Tree Grows i'm Wheaton"
Il learned from Mason A. But
cher, Head of the Department
of Public Works for the County
that another public parking lot
is being planned for Wheaton,
off Fern Street.
Often before plans are COM
pleted the department checks
with the local Chamber of Com
merce and Citizens Associations
for any ideas they may have.
He fatty stated that if the citi-
Zens are interested i'm having
trees or any greenery line their
parking lots their views should
be expressed to the department.
The county cares for the up
keep of the trees.
1 think the local citizens assO-
Citations and the Wheaton Cham
Der of Commerce should sug-
gest to the department that it is
an absolute necessity to plant
some greenstuff before they go
ahead SO that Wheaton will not
continue to be barren now or
later. There is nothing that can
give an area a look of perma-
hence unless there are some
shade trees provided for early
in an areas development.
AL StOughton of the Coop
told me they are definitely plan
ming trees for their parking lot.

than any other.
