Iceland Called Proof u. S. Securi
Has Fragile Foundations

ious sum for so small a coun-
try. The work was done by
Subcontract to an association
of Iceland contractors who,
members of the business COM
munity, belonged to the In
dependence Party. Its treasury
therefore flourished and it be-
came overwhelmingly strong.
But resentment fiourished,
too, as the business community
benef1ciarieS moved into the
best dwellings, drove about in
the newest model American
cars, and had lavish money
to spend for political purposes.
What the base did was to
introduce the class struggle
into Iceland in q sharper form
than it had ever known. The
farmer : fishermen and their
Progressive Party did not
equally benefit, nor did the
workers of the Social Demo-
cratic Party.
During this period, the fish
erman suffered an economic
crisis when Great Britain, in a
dispute over fishing rights in
1852, closed the British mar
ket to Iceland's only export,
and Iceland's fishermen priced
themselves out Of the Ameri-
can market.
Then Moscow stepped in as
the only customer, saved the
day. and made many friends.
Moscow paid a high price for
the fish but a bagatelle against
the cost Of an air base that it
wanted to demolish peace
ably"
BY returning its Porkkala
base to Finland last year,
Russia also made an impress
sion on other northern coun-
tries.
So the farmers, fishermen,
and the workers showed the
pro-American business party
under. Of course with the sup
port of the Communists who
probably will now enter the
government.
Thus the middle parties have
been pushed under the in
fiuence Of the extremists, the
conservative pro American
party faces the end Of its gravy
train, and the whole country
an economic crisis bad for the
original. happy, and all but
CLASHES society.

ATLANTIC CITY. N. j., June
29.-National politics, as seen
from the vantage point of the
annual Governors Conference,
just concluded, is in a transit
ton stage.
The old landmarks are gone.
The razor sharp Thomas E.
Dewey of New York, who domi-
mated his fellows by sheer abil-
ity and their lively sense that
he might one day WELD the
presidential power, is back in
the private-and lush--prac-
tice Of law.
Benign Earl Warren of Cali
fornia, who employed the twin
weapons of charm and practi-
cality, is Chief Justice Of the
United States by grace of
President Eisenhower. James
F. Byrnes, who turned against
the New Deal the fine oper-
ating talents with which he
helped to establish it, stepped
down only last year.
Other somewhat lesser lights
are on their way out Of this
particular arena. The chief

ference, patrician Christian

Shivers of Texas, vanquished

ton, had a press conference,
but it was a dull and dispirited
affair. He win not even be a

National Convention.

ers outside the Soviet and sat-
elite countries. it was es-
sential that the news be leaked
out from the fountainhead Of
capitalisrn-the United States.
There were consultations be-
tween Palmiro Togliatti and
Marshal Tito shortly before
the latter went on his tri-
umphal visit to the USSR.
There were consultations
shortly afterward between
Jacques Duclos and the Italian
socialists. The near-C ommu-
mist Italian socialist leader,
Pietro Nenni. had visited Mos
COW a few weeks before Tito.
There are certain indications
that there were consultations
between the American Com
munistS and their French
counterparts. 1t is through
Paris that our Reds get their
instructions. Earl Browder's
dismissal as head of the
American Communist Party
occurred shortly after Duclos
blasted him in the official
French publication, LES
Gathers COMMUNISTS"

do not want to take an emo

approach to the new look"
in the Communist face that

essary or through parliament
tary means. The latter appear
to the Communist leadership
at this stage as preferable be-
cause the free nations still
have strong retaliatory power.
Communism has, however,
the well-established connota-
ton of inhuman bestiality. In
the popular mind. be it in the
free countries or behind the
Iron Curtain, it is linked with
murder, tyranny, etc. Social
ism is highly humanitarian.
The bona fide socialists are in
many instances dreamers who
hope, for a better world by
teaching it to be better, but
certainly never by violent
means.
The last genuine" French
Socialist. Jean Jaures. was
murdered in 1914 because he
did not believe in settling the
French-Germ conflict by war
and opposed general mobiliza-
ton. Hence, in order to cap

taking a chance at a shooting
war, the Communist puppets

DAVID LAWRENCE

What's going on inside the
Kremlin? Nobody here really
knows. but American intelli-
gence sources can make some
shrewd guesses.
There's a battle on. The
struggle for leadership is be-
tween the former Stain men
and their opponents. Evidence
Of the conflict can be seen in
the behavior Of the Communist
parties outside Soviet Russia.
Whoever still has these
foreign instrumentalities Of
communism under control
and it looks like someone in
the top ministry who handles
foreign outlets of propaganda
is in command-may have in
spired the severest criticism Of
Khrushchev by the Communist
groups outside Russia.
The outcry from the Daily
Worker in New York, for ex-
ample, and from Communist
organs in other parts of the
world is that the men in the
Kremlin who stood by Stain
and didn't interfere with his
cruelties are themselves to
blame and must answer for
their acquieScence in his
crimes. It's really a political
maneuver to. get them out al
together.
Whenever disSension of such
proportions goes on in any cab
met, there is bound to be a
slowing up of certain activities
and a speeding up of others.
In the case of the Kremlin,
the speed-up is on the foreign
propaganda side. A desperate
effort is being made to win new
laurels in the Middle East and
in Europe. The drive is on to
push the American military
forces out Of their bases every

The security of the United
States at present depends on
air bases in foreign countries,
built by American money,
equipped with American planes
and weapons and manned by
American personnel.
These bases. conceived as a
peripheral defense against a
possible breakout by the Soviet
Union or Red China from their
central land positions, are Sc
cured by treaties or agree
ments within the frame of
regional pacts, such as NATO,
SEATO. etc.
But they are. in fact, no
secure defense at all, because
the United States cannot con-
troll the governments in the
countries where they are sit
uated. Where these countries
are governed by dictators, a
change in the will or within of
the supreme leaders can make
a base untenable; where they
are Economically governed,
the outcome Of an election can
disrupt the American defense
system.
The latter has just occurred
in Iceland, which initially in
vited the NATO lin fact, Amer
ican) base. The Icelandic
government has been domi-
mated by the independence
Party of Premier Olafur Thors,
a firm supporter of NATO and
the American base. This fact
made-not Iceland--but the
independence Party and Pre-
mier Thors Americas ally in
that tiny country and outpost
on the edge of the Arctic Cir
Gle. But this alliance eventu-
ally worked against the public
opinion Of 10000 people whose
pride is to have the oldest par
lament in the world.
The three political parties
in Iceland, apart from the
Communists, represent various
interests: Business community,
farmers and fishermen, and
the trade unions. All except
the Communists were initially
friendly to the American base

tablishment. Between 1852
and 1855 the United States via
