the Goldens are the friendly,

that coexiStence has a pleasant
ring to the ears of many naive
people in the free countries
because it means, in their
minds, the avoidance of war.

of the summit conference at
Geneva in 1854, there already
are a number Of well-meaning

Senator Mike Mansfield, an
influential member of the
Foreign Relations Committee,
had suggested before Mr..
Khrushchev's appearance on

ing might be useful to make q
start in regard to atomic war

munist Party in Russia has not
made any such direct ap-
proaches yet. But he has laid
the foundation for another
trap for the free world and
America through an appeal
for peaceful coexistence (which
would be ideal had the
Kremlin not reneged on every
one of its previous commit
ments.)

ing up steam. If Halle Selassie
should die shortly after Somali
independence has been achieved,
there will almost certainly be a
revolt. Such a revolt would find
support from the North African
states (the Emperor has already
accused Egypt of subverting the
Muslin population of Ethiopia
and from the Moscow-Mecca
axis.
1t is possible that the resulting
confusion might open the door
for a Communist coup. The EN-
peror has expressed himself as
supporting the West. He has.
however. allowed Communist Gull
tural groups such as the Chinese
ballet to visit the country and has
flirteo briefly with Bandung-
style neutralism. These steps
seem to have been taken in the
hope of extracting some more
dollar aid from the United
States. The Emperor and most
Ethiopians reason this way: In

Party Finds Self BecoImed in Congress

cratic fashion so that the party
can choose up sides. don the
brass knuckles and attract at

trailing the Republican oppo-
Sition to the President.
Thus Democrats are boring

Their split is real. but no
more real than it has ever been.
The fact is it has less steam in
it than before. because no

argue that the South is bigger

Many Democrats in and out
of Congress are unhappy
about the contradictory actions
of their congressional major
tiles in the current struggle
over the budget and defense.
Republicans are split on the
issue and their actions are
dramatic because they are TO-
cused on the great personality
of the recently reelected
President. Also genuine emo
ton envenoms the dispute on
the c.. o. P. side.
Its conservatives feel they
have been betrayed. Its liberals
rage at the apparent stupidity
of a party which turns its back
on the man who led them out
of 20 years in the political
wilderness.
AS a result. the fight takes
on reality and dimension. 1t
is a real, not a sham. battle.
The people involved in it come
alive, appear to have princi-
Piles worth fighting about. In
short, they are-having stolen

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Khrushchevs TV Stint Called Success
From Standpoint of Soviet Propaganda

Comrade Nikita Khru-
shchev's first appearance be-
fore an American ,television
audience was a success-from
the Soviet propaganda point
Of view. The secretary general
Of the Russian Communist
Party. who is actually running
the show in the Communist
world, made a good impression.
Khrushchev was almost
plausible. All good liars are.
He stubbed his toe only once
when the New York Herald
Tribune's Moscow correspond
ent. B. j. Cutler. question:
ing him on the reduction of
armed forces. asked how many
soldiers the Soviets still have.
He replied that since this mat
ter had not been included in
the QUESTIONABLE submitted
to him he could not give even
an approximate answer be-
cause he had not been briefed
by his competent authorities.
AS a matter of fact there are
few reporters in the United
States-as well as in the
USSR-who don't know that
the strength of the Russian
ground forces is upward of 125
divisions.
In the same vein, when dis
cussing the necessity Of Ameri-
car military withdrawal from
Western Europe, as an es-
sential condition for a limita-
ton of ornaments, Khru-
shchev insisted that logisti-
cally the USSR would be in
the same boat as this country
once its troops left the satellite
countries. Stuart Novins of
the CHS network pointed out
that if American troops were
withdrawn from Western
Europe they would have to
cross the Atlantic-more than
5000 miles from their present
stations. The Russians. on the
other hand. would have to be
pulled back only a distance
they could cover in about two
hours.
Mr.. Khrushchev informed
Mr., Novins that his arithmetic
was all confused since it would
take no longer to bring our
forces back to Europe by boat
from the United States than
it would take the Soviet high
command to bring its forces
from IrkutSk or Vladivostok
in Siberia. It is common
knowledge that the bulk Of
the Red Army is stationed not
in Siberia. as KhruShchev
wanted to imply, but between
the Vistula and Volga Rivers.
Moreover, a redeployment Of
American forces across the At
lantic would offer far more
difficulties than during the
last war. When the United
States decided to save Europe
in 1912, Hitler'S submarine
fleet was less than 100 strong.
The Soviet Union has at this
time upward of 500 ocean,
going submarines. The tempo
OF construction is being in
creased. Their main task, &C
cording to Western naval ex-
perts, is more to interfere
with shipping in the event Of
another world war than to
launch guided miSsiles-which
would be a difficult task con-
Sidering that they must come
close to our well-guarded
shores.
According to available in
telligence it appears that the

Economic Outlook for the u. S.

Small business and the small
farmer will go on suffering.
The type Of economy Estate
capitalism does not favor
them, and no amount Of pious
concern can change that fact.
Successful small businesses
become big ones; successful
small farmers become big
business enterprises. The sue
cessful are gobbled up by the
bigger, and the state will not
substitute the unsuccessful nor
interfere to prevent Develop
ments that the state itself has
largly contributed to put into
motion.
Economy drives are good be-
cause they do exercise some
deterrent effect on grandiose
bureaucratic planning. But
to change the present course
would require a major con-
version TO an entirely differ
ent philosophy of life. That
conversion is nowhere in
sight.

Confusing Situation for Democrat

merely with a tart comment
on the weather, Harry Tru-
man could bring greater pro
and con mail into his Office
than Mr.. Eisenhower has done
with both his budget and for
eign aid speeches. Others find
it unbelievable that voter re-
action is so tepid; they feel
lost without a compass.
In the larger sense, the
failure Of both parties in Con-
gress to present a picture of
party responsibility faithful to
a coherent philosophy Of gov
eminent signals far-reaching
changes. Some experienced
politicians are almost fright
ened by it.
They feel that Congress and
the country have become so
accustomed to leaning on a
strong President that progress
is impossible without one.
They see Congress as abdicat-
ing. and the President as well.
That group Of Democrats
which wants to wed the party
to an expanding economy with
all Of its costs and risks are
privately vocal. They have not
found anyone to carry on the
fight against Senator Lyndon
B. JohnSon's leadership Of the
Senate which reflects South
ern conservatism; they would
not dare to try to upset House
Speaker Sam Rayburn. They
don't know what to do; they've

return to the old. sub-feudal way
of life. and the Communist and
pink youth.
The centers of Communist &C.
tivlty in Adds Ababa. in addi-
ton to the Soviet and satellite
embassies, include the Russian
stated Dedjazmatch Baltcha
Hospital and the Soviet informa-
ton center of the Piazza and
near the rival USIS Offices. Rus
sian activity in Adds Ababa has
certainly been exaggerated at
times. In point Of fact. this
have a small but efficient en-
bassy. a good hospital which has
strong propaganda value. and an
information center which wisely
concentrates on photographs
rather than books-since only
IS per cent Of population is
literate. this makes sense.
Russian gold is said to be
available for young. pink in
clined Ethiopians. Literature
and announcement certainly
are. There the influence stops.
The common people have no
interest in communism-their
knowledge seldom includes the
regime in power. Some OF the
young intellectuals do.
These young men. most OF
whom are in government service
and have been educated abroad
like to drink scotch. drive sports
cars, dance to old Artie Shaw
records. and talk about the
rights Of man. They say the
Emperor has moved too slowly in
expanding the base OF Ethiopian
democracy, and they look for
Communist help to do just that
when Halle Selassie dies.
Reactionaries Powerful
Cf the two groups. the old re-
dictionaries seem to be the more
powerful. II the Crown Prince
can reach an understanding with
them. he will probably be able
to succeed his father.
That does not. however, mean
that there will not be fighting.
The Emperor and his Shoan
mobiles sit on the lid of a powder
keg of fierce subject peoples who
would like nothing better than
to strike a blow for their own
freedom or at least to harass the
government.
