Khrushchev's Line

In his latest letter to
President Eisenhower on Au-
gust S. Khrushchev has in
deed already reached the
summit-in duplicity and
hypocrisy. He declares SOL
EMMY: "The people of East
ern Europe have freely
elected this present way of
life and will not allow any
one to change it,"
l witnessed in 1910 how
freely" one of the Eastern
European nations. the Lat
vians. had to elect this pres
ent way Of poverty and OPP
preSSion-they we're forced
to 60 to the ballots by the
foreign bayonets of the So
Wet colonizers. Besides, these
elections of the one-party.

were unlawful since they cir
cumvented the peoples refer
endum which by the consti-
tuition Of the Latvian repub-
lie had to precede such dras-
tic changes of the regime as
imposed by the Soviets. OBJ
viously the Kremlin was
afraid Of the Latvian peoples
will as it is still today. If
khrushchev now breaches
the right of the people to
adopt independent decisions
and to establish a state re-
gime which responds to their
interests" he should show
his good will by taking away
the Soviet bayonetS from
LatVian soil. let a group of
U. N. observers enter this
subjugated country and re-
port effectively about the
Soviet practice" and its re-
suits of colonialism which
shows no end there.
Another of Khrushchev's
big lies: Aggression by a
small country against a large
power is in general impos-
sible." But just the opposite
assertion was used as a pre-
text of the invasion of three
small countries. Estonia, Lat
via and Lithuana, in June,
1910. 1t was alleged they had
prepared military aggression
against the USSR. Was not
KhruShchev himself a Polit-
buro member who decided
this direct aggression at that
time? Has he changed his
mind now? 1t would be in
teresting to know whether he
was cheating then or is
lying now.

Khrushchev'S reversal of
his acceptance of a summit
conference within the Sc
curity Council suggests that
we might do well to insist on
a summit meeting and sched-
ule it with or without Khru-
shchev'S participation, as was
done in the nuclear test con-
troll meeting of scientists in
Geneva. If Khrushchev does
not attend. the West will
gain a propaganda advan-
tage. 1t can be pointed out
In response to Khrushchev's
accusations of ineffectiveness
and prejudice in the Security
Council. that 1t not only is
the Russian veto that has
made the Security Council
ineffective at times, but that
the composition and nature
of the Security Council have
not changed since he &C
cepted the invitation on July
%. If Khrushchev should de-
eide to reverse himself again,
the differences between the
Kremlin and Picking could be
exploited to our advantage.
Charles v. West.
Behind every move or pro-
poSal submitted to the United
States by Communist Russia
there lurk intrigue, false
hood and insidious propa-
ganda. 1t is a trap to lure
the American people into a
false sense Of security.
If the Soviets sincerely
wanted peace in the Near
East they would not have
vetoed the Japanese resolu-
ton in the United Nations
Security Council.
At present the Kremlin will
not risk a war with the United
States for they know they
cannot win. They are jittery
and scared for they realize,
too, they can not rely on the
captive nations of Eastern
and Central Europe who are
waiting for a chance to join
the West and fight their way
back to freedom and indie
pendence.
All the believing and
rocket-rattling Of poker

malicious propaganda that
