AHope for Better Life

Continued From First Pag,
war with capitalism is newt.
ahlA lost out to Mr.. Khru'
shehev's line that communism
VIII triumph over the West
without resort to war.
The program promised 9
change in the rules for elect
ing members of the all-power-
ffI central committee of the
party but opened loopholes
that would protect the status
OF Mr.. Khrushchev and his
right -hand men.
Henceforth, the party de-
clared, members of the COM
n1ittee's. presidiurn are to be
limited to three terms.
Then came the loop6ole: party
members of recognized au-
thnfity, organizational abili-
ties and other qualities, can be
elected to the leading govern
rtesltal bodies for longer pc
RODS of time" >
Talking about the United
Stdtes, the program said:
Fhe main bulwark of mod
efn colonialisnl is the imperial
isth of the OF the United States
Tie vital condition for the
selution of all is a persistent
Struggle against Imperialism y
The program made clear the
Soviet leaders feel the West is
doomed anyway, and that a
peaceful communist takeover is
pfeferred.
The program, however, did
not exclude the possibility of
'monpeaceful" transition to
communism.
II said the method of being
voted into power by a parlia-
raent is best for communism
put ~ adQeo:
However,. when the exploit
ing classes use violence against
people, it is necessary to con-
sideF a on-peaceful transition
f1eH1 capitalism to socialism.
Held Essential to Peace
THE party proclaimed and
history proved that the exploit
ing classes will not give up
their power voluntarily"
Premier Khrushchev said the
same thing in speech last
January and from this, plus
the rest of the platform, it is
obvious he was the guiding
spirit in drawing up the pro-
gram.
The program officially made
1t an article of state that "the
transition of capitalism to COM
munism is the road to develop
ment of humanity"
Divided into seven chapters,
the program said "the expert
ence of the Soviet Union proved
that socialism and peace are
indivisible.
1t claimed "the lorces OF so-

of peace. The Soviet Union
saved humanity from Fascist
enslavement."
Premier Khrushchev is en-
route back to Moscow from his
holiday home at Sochi, on the
Black Sea. He will lead public
discussion Of the new program.
In its attack on the capital
list system, the program said
inequality of the rate o. oe-

tradictions between capitalist
states. It declared:
THE military center has
moved from England to the
United States. America, the
mightiest capitalist state. has
become the strongest world eX-
ploiter. American imperialism,
covering itself with the false
flag of freedom and democracy,
is in fact fulfilling the role of
the world gendarme, supporting
reactionary dictatorial regimes,
rotten monarchies, taking ac-
ton against democratic revolu-
tionary transformation, un-
leashing aggression against
people struggling for their indie

The program laid out an eco

years. and said that at the end
of this period, heating. water
and gas will be free of charge
in the Soviet Union.
It said the Soviet economy
will achieve IAN abundance oi
