Soviet Premier Bulganin's
second communication TO the
Western nations has scored
another propaganda victory
for the Kremlin and placed
the Soviet leaders in a very
advantageous political posi-
ton. Hitting hard and fast
is always a good tactic, and
the men Of Moscow have
done Just that twice recent

The Presidents address
was one Of his better ones,
and charted a constructive,

American policy in military
strength and in the search
for areas Of agreement which
might lessen the tensions Of
the cold war. But Mr.. Bull
ganin's blitzkrieg letter GER
tainly competed heavily with
Mr.. Eisenhower's speech in
the headlines Of the world.
To those citizens Of the
free world who, in their ear

OF bitterness and tensions,
see considerable merit In the
Bulganin proposals. it is nee
essary to voice a few words
Of warning. First OF all. 1t
Is plain that there is abso-
lutely no evidence Of any real
Soviet concessions, or even
Of new proposals. in either Of
the two Bulganin notes. All
they offer is essentially the
same package which the West,
under the leadership Of Sec
rotary Of State Dulles, has
rejected in the past.

The Presidents Master Stroke

The President refrains from
describing the operations Of
the dictatorship In Moscow
and how II can suddenly
plunge the people OF the
Soviet Union into war with
out their consent. But he
does add the following re-
minder:

the peoples Of the Middle
East against one another.
Mr.. Eisenhower's letter is
a milestone in the negotiate

conference and calls for con-
ferences step by step through
diplomatic channels. Then,
he says. a meeting by heads

A Kremlin Propaganda Victory

tie without a single casualty.
The timing Of the second
Bulganin letter was tricky in
the extreme, because 1t was
certain TO be contrasted in
the minds of people every
where with the pronounce
ments of President Eisen-
hower's annual message to
Congress. Since the Eisen-
hover message was Of neces-
sity couched in generalities,
and the Bulganin letter was
seemingly precise in what 1t
proposed. the impression was
natural that the Soviet posi-
ton was precise and detailed.
while that of the President
was but sketchy, a piously
worded plea for more arma-
ments. more missiles. more
militarization. That such q
comparison Is completely in
error does not detract from
the propaganda advantage
gained by the shrewd leaders
Of the Soviet dictatorship.
If the Soviet Union really
wanted TO relax tensions and
build a solid foundation for
later sincere negotiations with
the West, there are a number
of small beginnings that
Moscow could make alone,
without talks of any kind.
For example: Take the re-
strictions of Western diplo-
mats in the Soviet Union,
letting them travel freely and
at will. Ease or remove en-
tirely the oppressive Soviet
censorship Of Western news
mems dispatches. End the
feudal, medieval isolation Of
Soviet diplomats in Western
capitals. Relax suspicion and
hostility everywhere. not just
for formal delegations. This
would be a start.
