All the Red propaganda
organs. especially those in
Moscow, are expressing the
hope that Soviet-American
relations will improve con-
siderably with John r. Ken
nedy taking over the Presi-
dency. They remind their
listeners Of the golden days
of Franklin D. Roosevelt with
whom Stain got along ia
mously.
The wishful thinking Of
the Kremlin's mouthpieces Is
understandable, for our war

measurabiy the establish
ment of the present Red
colonial empire. At the his
toric Yalta conference. not
only did Mr.. Roosevelt accept

over all the previously inde-
pendent countries in central
and eastern Europe, but also
paved the way for the Reds

What Comrade Khrush-

headed by the less expert

hard to gauge. There is little
left to surrender to interna-

Teheran and Yalta. And even

it-that's the language they
understand. That will do
more to create the spirit,
bring back the unity among
our allies. It'll stop countries
from being neutral"
What does it all mean?
That Mr.. Kennedy is going
to try to lay down the law
to our allies and tell them
they must conform to Amer
lean leadership? Does it
mean he will threaten Mr..
Khrushchey with war If nee
essary? One wonders how he
is going to get the Commu-
nists out Of Africa and keep
them from more aggressions
in Southeast Asia. viii it be
by offering more money to
the '''neutrals"?
How, moreover, will Mr..
Kennedy deal with Commu-
mist infiltration in the United

Roosevelt's efforts in the
House to cut down the money
used by the House Commit
tee on Un-American Activi-
ties to uncover Communist
operations in our own schools

Mr.. Kennedy already has
many advisers. Some believe
as Mr.. Mccormack does,
while others want to hurry
up and admit Red China into

Combined with the bou-
quets thrown at Mr.. kennedy.
and many of his advisers and

complaining in the last dec

the Soviet points express the

have any foundation of fact.
