News of a secret session Of the
goth Party Congress at which q
weeping Nikita Khrushchev told in
detail Of Josef Stains incredible
reign of terror leaked out last week.
Top-drawer Politburo members, Mr..
Khrushchev is reported to have
said, lived in constant fear Of their
lives. This news explains not only
the milder public attacks on Stain
at the party congress but also the
lack of commemoration Of his
death. In Georgia, however, Stalin'S
home territory, riots were reported
to have f1ared in protest against the
de-deif1cation.
How sincere Mr.. Khrushchev's
tears were matter for legiti-
mate speculation. He had reputa-
ton for some pretty deadly purging
himself when he was in the
Ukraine. The new moves did fit well
in the new portrait of sweet rea-
sonableness, of course, which the
Kremlin is attempting to paint
before the outside world, particu-
larry before the uncommitted. back
ward nations of Asia and Africa.
Ex-Premier Georgi Malenkov is
a key figure in that portrait. and
it may not have been so coincidental
that he was being extremely affable.
alive and happy, in England when
the story of Stain brutality hit the
newspapers. Mr.. Malenkov was
fulsome in his praise of the British
and eager to learn as much as pos
sible about England's atomic power
development, the ostensible reason
for his trip. Another reason, pre-
sumably. is to serve as a sort Of
advance man for Mr.. Khrushchev
and Premier Bulganin, due in Lon
don next month.
Mr.. Malenkov pretended not to
hear "offers" of asylum broadcast
to him by loudspeaker as he left
the London airport on arrival.

For example, the English taxpayer
contributes nothing to education
in Cyprus; the Colonial Administra-

from the CypriotS, then refuses to
give the money to the schools until
they teach a certain amount of

history.
4. THE British force us to sell

who would like to buy a Volks-
wagon automobile finds its price
hiked 20 per cent above its English
counterpart. If he wishes an Eng

cent duty, but if he prefers the
popular Italian Vespa, he must pay
40 per cent. On the other hand,
when he ships his carobS-St.
Johns beans-to London, the pref

is wiped out by freight rates for

complain.
S During the war, some 10000
young Cypriots volunteered when
the British put up posters urging
them to join the services and fight
"for Greece and liberty" 1--WE
fought" they say, "now where is
the liberty?"
To questions of freedom or lack
of it. the British reply that from
time to time they have offered self
governing constitutions to the Cyp-
riots. who rejected them because
under them the governor could ap-
point members so that elected
members could not gain a majority.
AS to economic matters, the Co
lonial administrators say that Cyp-
riot needs are considered in Lon
don along with those of the rest
Of the Empire. They insist that Cy-
3 prus is better OF economically as
a colony of Britain than she would

What is Britain's claim to Cyprus?

A defensive alliance between
Britain and Turkey, signed June 4.
1873. Turkey, which had ruled
Cyprus after conquering it in 1871.

or union with Greece. Belatedly
last year the British did offer Cyp-
riots some voice in their own affairs.
BY then, however, Cypriot emotion
alism was we'll along.
Even if he wanted to counsel
moderation, Archbishop Makarios
III, the ethnarch spiritual and po-
litical leader of the Greeks ON Cy-
prus, probably could not have
turned back the passionate tide. At
any rate, he did not try hard
enough to suit the British. A fort
night ago they exiled him to an
island in the Indian Ocean.
Sullen Cypriots went on general
strike. There we're small demon
STATIONS early last week. Home
made bombs lobbed into British
compounds and British lorries. Sew
eral British soldiers were shot in
the back; few were killed.
The British spent last week re-
taliating selectively, with charac-
teristic British reserve. Another
Greek churchman was brought in
for questioning, then released.
Archbishop Makarios' headquarters
was occupied, causing the Greek
clergy to complain that the spiritual
life of Cyprus had been paralyzed.
One port town was put on 24-hour
curfew. A small community in the
principal city of Nicosia, where a
British policeman had been killed,
was uprooted.
A TocticoI Error
From the British point of view,
there was only one major error. A
jittery British soldier fired into a
band of stone throwing boys and
killed a 7-year-old. The youngster
died in the weeping British soldiers
arms. BY week end, the boy was
well on his way to martyrdon.
By week end, too, there was a
pitched battle developing in the
Cyprus Mountains.
America looked on in anguish.
Somehow, our great. good friends,
the British, had suddenly been
seized again by stubborn old
habit of centuries past. forcibly
suppressing their detractors. Sir
Anthony Eden. the great compro-
miser, was not giving an inch.
Greece had started out willing and
eager to give Britain long-term
lease on whatever military bases
it needed on Cyprus-in return for
"Self determination" i. e. annexa-
ton. But by refusing for so long
to consider this middle ground, the
British had famed nationalist
flames on Cyprus so high that it
was doubtful the offer could now
be sustained.
There was another side, however.
We had need for Britain's Stabiliz-
ing influence in the Communist
threatened Middle East. And Brit
ain had real need for a free mill
tary hand on Cyprus. This would
doubtless be easier to maintain in
a British colony than in a Greek
province. On the other hand, a
hostile home population would
hardly provide a secure military
base.
Our ambivalence was all too evil
dent to both Greeks and British.

What is Greece's claim to Cyprus?

What is Greece'S claim to Cyprus?
A common heritage and the
wishes of the Cypriot Greeks. Cyp-
riot and mainland Greeks have the
same language, religion, legends
and history. Cypriot shrines to
Aphrodite and Apollo were famous
throughout the Mediterranean in
ancient times. Heroes returning
from the Trojan war founded cities
on the island. A plebiscite conducted
by the Orthodox Church of Cyprus
shows that 81 per cent of the island
Greeks favor union with Greece.

Kefouyer's Test

In New Hampshire last week,
Estes Kefauver had everything to
lose and Candidate Stevenson moth
ing. If the Senator had failed to
pick up a majority of the Demo-
cratic delegates after wooing them
SO ardently with no announced
competition. he would have been
eliminated as a serious contender
for party-wide affections at the
Chicago convention. But just be-
cause Mr.. Stevenson failed to win
delegates, he could not be counted
out: he had not campaigned.
A clearer test of Kefauver
strength VS.. Stevenson strength will
come on Tuesday, when the two
candidates clash openly in the
Minnesota primary. There, Mr..
Stevenson has the solid support of
the party organization, including
that Of Senator Hubert Humphrey.
But, thanks to the momentum he
got in New Hampshire, Senator
Kefauver can still remain a strong
candidate even if he loses in Min
nesota. On the other hand, should
Mr.. Stevenson be upset in Mime
sofa, he can reasonably look to
Senator Kefauver as a serious
threat to his own ambitions.
Then there will be the other
springtime primary tests facing the
aspirants, the most interesting of
them being Wisconsin on April 3.
