Polish Communist Party Leader
Wladyslaw Gomulka said yes
terday socialism is certain to
beat capitalism in peaceful
competition, but if war came
capitalism would find its "eter-
nal grave"
Mr.. Gomulka spoke before
1000 top party members in
Warsaw's Palace of Culture.
His speech was a review of the
world situation in line with the
declarations issued last week
following the Moscow meeting
of leaders of the Communist
world.
Mr.. Gomulka said there has
been some intensification of
the cold war during recent
weeks. but at the same time
opposition to that trend had
been strengthened.

and the militarist forces OF

Mr.. Gomulka devoted a large
part of his 10.000-word speech
to Poland's attitude toward
Western credits. A Polish mis-
sion now is negotiating in
Washington for an extension
of an aid agreement signed
last June. That agreement gave
Poland $95 million in farm
surplus and other products,
partly on credit terms. The
Poles now are reported seeking
more than 5000 million more.

NaWDock Shut
In Hong Kong

LONDON. Nov. 30 (P.-The
British government said last
night it is closing up its naval
dockyards at Hong Kong off
the mainland of Red China.
Lord Mancroft, minister
without portfolio, who made
the announcement in the House
OF Lords. said Britain still
would maintain its naval base
at Singapore in the Far East.
But he said the long term fu-
ture" of the Singapore dock
yards. $500 miles southwest of
Hong Kong. is still under con-
sideration.
Viscount Alexander, Labor's
former Defense Minister, called
the announcement doleful news.
He recalled his recommended
ton in 1850 that Britain's po-
sition at Hong Kong be made
stronger rather than weaker,
and said the decision had been
justified both during and
since the Korean war"
Lord Mancroft said the So
year-old dockyards. which
could service and repair war;
ships up to cruiser size, would
be closed down by November 30,
1859. The decision, he said. was
in line with "the current re-
organization of naval forces
and their shore support
throughout the world"
This reorganization was an
nounced in a Government white
paper several months ago. 1t
outlined a policy of slimming
down Britain's overseas COM
mitments and conventional
forces and relying more on
Weapons of the nuclear age.
Hong Kong's dockyards, only
about half a mile from the GEN.
ter of Hong Kong. employ about
400 workers. The closing will
save about S42.2 million a year.
Lord Mancroft said Britain
would still maintain a small
naval force including six mine
sweepers in Hong Kong. and
that normally a frigate or de-
stroyer would be in the area. A
small naval base will also be
maintained there.
