fact that Mr.. Khrushchev
and his followers have
learned that segregation still
exists in many parts of the
United States. What a reflec-
ton this is on our country
IN the eyes of the rest Of the
world; we should hang our
heads in shame, ETC., etc.
The truth of the matter is
that Russia believes in seq
regation and says in no I'M
certain terms she intends to
practice it. She wishes no
mixing in schools or else
where with the various tribes
inhabiting her territory. for
the simple reason she wishes
to preserve her own culture.
(These people are truly intel
ligent.) All of this was
brought out several years ago
by Senator Kennedy and
others in articles written on
their return from a trip to
the Soviet Union. How short
are peoples memories!

I listened to Khrushchev's
address and question and
answer" period before the
National Press Club.
At first, as an admirer Of
fortnight honesty and right
eous indignation, I thought
that Mr.. Khrushchev showed
signs of being a better ex-
ponent of the democratic
procedure than most Ameri-
cans. The introduction of the
joke about what Khrushchev
was doing when Stain was
annihilating people was in
very poor taste. 1 thought.
And I liked Kh'ushchev's
bucking it. His answer to the
question about Russia's TAX
ing possession of the moon
was in the realm of higher
ethics-Communists do not
say. my; they say, our.
with a desire to share, not
to possess. Sort Of made us
look sick. But then came
the question Of what specific
items Russia would like to
trade with the U. S. and
Khrushchev began to sound
awfully defensive and propa-
gandiSh, as he fastened to
point out that the Commu-
nists deliberately left the
Minister Of Trade at home
in Russia so that they would
not be accused of looking for
a handout. Again, he showed
inflexibility of mind, when
asked if his speech included
any new ideas. Said Mr.. K,
Repetition is the mother of
knowledge" In deed? I
thought repetition was the
mother Of stagnation and
evasion.
The bombshell, of course,
was the request for an ex-
PLANTATION Of Russia's in
vasion of Hungary. Mr.. K.
just sounded terrible-parti-
cularly. since he had been so
fortnight, offensive, and
non-evasive up to that point.
But, of course, Karl Marx
would have agreed with Mr..
KhruShchev that there is alb
solutely no reason for that
question to be dealt with at
all. Remember! THE end
justifies the means" This is
the essence of Communist
philosophy. And this, of
course, includes as means in
ternal revolution. race mur-
der, fomented violence of any
kind and the RECOMMENDATION,
conformity to government
edict, and intolerance of the
individual soul that go with
the former. Mr.. Khrushchev,
as a Communist, was quite
justified in pointing out the
end accomplished - Hun
gary's relative acquiescence
to enforced communism-and
in ignoring the means to
that end.

Whether Khrushchev is a
murderer or not is unim-
portant. The fact is that two
great military powers have
the capability of destroying
each other. Therefore, as
realistS, the Russians want
peace as much as we do. To
avoid the end of civilization,
we must find a way.
Potentially, Russia is a
great consumer of peacetime
goods, refrigerators, washers,
and all the things that mean
a high standard of living.
Increased trade would reduce
the fear of communism and
lead to human understand
ing. This also means that
some day in the future, not
too distant. we would find
ourselves allies with Rus
