Australian Vote EvoIuoted

was accused by President
Eisenhower Of having per-
mitted q Communist penetra-
ton that meant. in its most
ugly sense. treason itself"-is
perhaps going to make in the
1856 campaign the same mis-
take which the Evatt group
made in Australia. There are
signs of it in the tactics of the
Hennings committee and some
of the other committees whose
chief objective now seems to
be to investigate the anti-Com-
muniSts and, by the same
token, to minimize the nature
of the Communist infiltration
in America.
The Australian electorate is
not unlike the American cleo
torate in background and ed
ucation as well as in its reac-
tions to the fundamental idea
of confiscation of private prop
erty under state socialism. It
was in 1850 that Australia,
following the victory of the
conservatives in 1949 in New
Zealand. elected the present
governmen t. Conservatives
came into power in 1850 in
Great Britain. too. and then
the Republicans. who are re-
garded as predominantly con-
sentative, won in 1852 u the
United States. 1t has been a
worldwide trend.
But deeper than these eco
nomic issues are the emotional
issues. Prime Minister Mem
zies, for instance, in the cam
paign Just ended cited IAN
extraordinary parallel between
Communist and Labor Party
policies" No Communist can
didates were elected. and 40
Of them lost their seats in
Parliament. Before the cleo
ton the Conservatives held
only "a seats out of 1913 in the
House. Now they have at least
rs. to Labor's IS.
The left wing" got its worst
beating in the history of
Australian elections and, to no
small extent. this was due to
the detection Of a number of
Socialist La Dor candidates
from their own party on the
anti Communist issue.

world power In hardly more
than one generation.
The rapid transformation of
any society requires new lead
ers, ambitious to assume power
and trained to exercise it. The
Soviet Union has been attract
ing and training such leaders
for over a generation. In this
it is a far Jump ahead of the
West.
To compare conditions in
Russia with those of any West
ern country is irrelevant. BY
every material standard of liv-
ing, Russia is far behind the
smallest and poorest European
country. with the possible ex-
ception Of Southern Italy and
Spain.
Far from being socially pro-
gressive." the Soviet Union Is
blackly reactionary-as it has
always been since it emerged
as q factor In Western history.
1t is, among modern states, the
purest example Of a caste So
ciety Even at the bottom Of
the ruling hierarchy the base
is not wide; probably not more
than S per cent of the popula-
ton have anything whatever to
say about how the USSR is

distributed.

an education for a ruling

It's art is reactionary-stuck
firmly in the canons Of the
mid-nineteenth century.

are other socialist aims, such
as production for use." Bill

Establishment of minority
dictatorship over the majority
has been one of the signal sue
cesses of Soviet diplomacy in
the cold war.
The most recent example
has been in the struggle for
seat in the United Nations
Security Council between the
Philippine Republic and the
Yugoslav dictatorship. which
the Kremlin aims to please.
The Philippines led through
a long series Of ballots, while
Yugoslavia trailed despite the
efforts of the USSR. The char
ter requires two-thirds vote.
There was a long deadlock, I'M
provided for by the charter,
and the suggestion was made
that the two contenders split
the two-year term. A lottery
proposal to decide which
should serve the first year was
at first opposed by the Soviet
representative who insisted
that the Kremlin protege be
given the first term, thus es-
tablishing another moral vic
tory for the Soviet Union and
its thesis that a willful mi
nority should dominate the
majority. Later Yugoslavia won
on a lottery drawing and was
voted the seat with Russian
agreement.
Another example of Soviet
diplomacy: For several years
the United States, Britain and
France attempted to give Aus
tria complete freedom. They
met with the Soviets dozens Of
times. But they always met a
blank refusal from the Reds to
cooperate, although Austria
had been exonerated as an
aggressor by the American
British-Soyiet agreement In
Moscow in 1913.

Soviets' purpose to grant Aus

over the eyes of the people Of
Australia. as the completed
vote in the general elections
there now reveals.
1t turns out that the in
mbent administration of
Prime Minister Robert Menzies
was reelected not only with q
substantial majority. but by
the biggest majority any party
coalition ever got.
The significance for Ameri-
cans lies in the fact that the
issues were clear-cut as be-
tween conservatism and social
ism and as between anti-Com-
muniSts and those misguided
liberals who took it upon
themselves to argue that COM
munism is just another politi-
cal philosophy and not q
world wide conspiracy to over
throw free governments.
When Vladimir Petrov de-
fected from the Soviet En-
bassy in Australia, he told the
world that inside the Socialist
Labor Party in Australia and
among its leaders there were
stooges of the Communists,
and also that two members of
the staff of former Prime
Minister Herbert Evatt were
implicated. Mr.. Evatt insisted
this was all politics and, Curl
ously enough, during the re-
cent campaign wrote to Molo-
tov in Moscow to get his
.eyaluation of the Petrov docu-
ments-whieh the Soviet for
eign minister, of course,
promptly denounced as for
geries.
They even had a royal COM
mission Of inquiry. Nith all the
safeguards that merican
liberals" are so accustomed to
advocate as a better way than
a congressional investigation.
It nevertheless revealed. to the
astonishment Of the Australian
public, that Soviet inf1ltration
was operating in the labor gov
eminent and in the press.
There were loud outcries

about "McCarthyism" and the
conservatives In Australia were
accused of using the same
strategy as conservatives in the
United States. But the So
cialists made the mistake Of
advocating close ties with the
Soviet Union and the recog-
milton of Red China. The
voters Overwhelmingly rejected
such views. Even Mr.. Evatt.
the Socialist leader. ran poor
ly in the contest to retain his
seat, and his leadership of the
party now is in doubt.
Mr.. Evatt is well known and
has many friends in Washing
ton, and the inclination here
is not to credit him with a real
affinity for anything Commu-
nistic but to regard him as a
man who has used poor judg-
ment, especially in fighting
Communist revelations. In
stead of denouncing the &C
tivities of the Communists, he
has looked upon the whole
thing as an attack on liberal
ism and civil liberties"
This is the same mistake
made by many Americ q n
liberals" who not only are
loyal in every sense and
wouldn't swap Americas sys-
TEN for the Soviet's at any
time but nevertheless refuse
to see the Communist con-
spiracy as a danger. They
would be on 1irmer ground, as
President George Meany Of the
AFL-CIO says, If they were
more vigorous in their con-
demnation Of Communists and
if they didn't constantly take
the position that a few Com
munist agents in our midst
can do little harm. They for

the will of the minority will
prevail again and the USSR

There has been a good deal
of pressure on the administra-
ton from our closest allies
such as Britain to settle this

ing the Soviet Indian point
of view on Communist China
In exchange for a trusteeship
over Formosa. We are told
that this solution would re-
move a highly controversial
question from the U. N.
agenda. 1t would. in the mean
time, satisfy our strategic re-
quirements by allowing Amer
lea to maintain limited air and
naval bases in that area at
least temporarily. We are told
that our acceptance would
bring relaxation in the Far
East and it would allow free
trade between Communist
China and some Of our allies
who are eager for it.

to veto the entry of the Pei

to how long he will be able to

which the minority can bring
