Two events in recent months.
the Cuban crisis and the Eino-
Indian troubles, have again ag-
gravated these differences. The
Chinese feel the Russians were
acting only In their own inter-
ests In first sending the missiles
to Cuba and then In pulling
them out without taking Cuban
interests into account. In It's clash
with India, China feels that Rus

Of "proletarian internationalisrn"
by not taking China's side.
In recent weeks, the world has
witnessed an unprecedented pub
lie debate of these issues, carried
on at Communist Party Con-
crosses, and in the party press.
Presently, both sides are on rec
ord for a world party meeting,
but neither side shows any In
clination to compromise their diff
ferences.
China feels that she represents
the true feelings Of the masses

The Differences

In foreign affairs, Mr.. Khru-
shchev has been less ready to
change Stalin's policies. At bot
tom, Stain and Khrushchev have
followed similar roads, but with
subtle differences.
Stain was always q cautious
tactician. He rose to power In
the 1920s with the conservative
policy Of socialism In one coun-
try" Taciturn and brooding,
Stain was not cut from the same
revolutionary cloth as Leon Trot-
sky, his principal opponent. Trot-
sky would have had the Soviet
Union serve as the springboard
for revolutions around the world.
Stain knew that the rest of
the world was too strong; that
Russia's only chance lay in con-
sohdating its borders, m aking
concessions to the West when
necessary. agitating whenever
possible. Stain sided with the
West In the early 1930s when
threatened by Hitler; he signed a
non-aggression pact with Hitler
in 1899 to give himself time: and
he sought allied help again in
1941.
To the east. Stain built up
Chang Kai-shek in the l930s as
a buffer against Japan: he signed
q non-aggression with Japan on
the eve Of war. And in l945. he
joined the allies against Japan.
All these policies were CONSTANT
with his effort to strengthen the
Soviet Union.

THE NATIONAL SCENE
Biggest Fight on Hill
Forming on Tax Bill.

President Kennedy said on
Monday that II Is essential to
have q substantial tax cut this
year, with or without reforms,
II we are TO avert q future
recession.
Many Of the sages of the ages,
as Publilius at the time Of Christ,
have voiced the opinion that he
who seeks to please everybody
winds up pleasing nobody.
President Kennedy apparently
came to this conclusion last week
IN regard to his proposed tax leg
tslation, which he describes as the
most important work for Congress
this year.
In addressing the symposium on
economic growth conducted by the
American Bankers Association on
Monday, he made 1t plain that
while he still prefers q package
which would combine tax reform
with substantial tax reductions,
the latter was the more important
and he would take it alone If that
were the decision Of Congress.
THE important thing Is to get
the bill ($l0 billion in tax cuts)

necessary to get that bill, I would

Red Diotribe

In q long diatribe against the
Common Market last September,
the Soviet Communist Party
warned that 'by offering SEEM
ingly attractive terms, the i'm
perilists are trying 10 lure more
and more Of the underdeveloped
countries into the Common Mar
ket trap"
As initiated by the representa-
tives OF the African and Common

Events last week indicated that
the Chinese may be trying new
tack with the Russians. From
statements in the Chinese press,
the Chinese leaders seem to be
seeking support from within the
Soviet Communist Party. They
have printed all Of Mr.. Khru-
shchev's anti Chinese speeches
and challenged Mr.. Khrushchev
to do the same. Pravda has been
most reluctant to print the Chi
nese side in full, because the Chi
nese unquestionably have q GER
tain appeal.
The Chinese view has gained
support In several Communist
parties Of Asia. and seems to
have appeal for Reds In Latin
America. The Chinese are more
militant and more hostile to the
West, and this answers the pent-
UP Illustrations Of Communists In
deprived lands. They have the
same appeal that Trotsky had In
the 1905 the MARKHAM feeling OF
what can you lose but your
chains"
The Russians appeal TO the
rich Communist parties in the de-
veloped countries where war. es-
pecially q nuclear one, would be
most devastating. Moreover. as q
concession 10 the Chinese argu-
ment. Mr.. Khrushchev has been
notably liberal in policies toward
his East European satellites. The
Poles and Hungarians, for In
stance. have much more freedom
Of action now than they did un-
der Stain.

PrOgmotic Note

This was the pragmatic Presi-
dent at his most pragmatic. He
had fought hard for his original
package proposal, but the rising
opposition in and out of Congress
to his tax reforms dictated a re-
treat to q prepared position. He
beat the retreat.
Mr.. Kennedy's position has been
and is q difficult one. Among the
chief congressional proponents of
reform is Chairman Mills OF the
tax writing House Ways and
Means Committee. Neither he nor
Chairman Byrd Of the Senate
Finance Committee Is very enthu-
siastic, to put. 1t mildly, about
reductions unaccompanied by q
slash in Federal spending. In the
cabinet, Treasury Secretary Dill
Ion is the banner-carrier for tax
reforms.
Whether the President has been
q reluctant advocate of combin-
ing reforms with cuts, as some
sources report, the fact is that he
has pushed for the package and
IS still doing so, albeit with less
vigor. Where he has run into
trouble, more and more observers
agree. Is that the reforms were
designed TO please each Of the
major pressure groups and, as q
result, wound UP not entirely
pleasing to any Of them.

The WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
Soviet World Line Today

The Chinese Communists
stepped up their attack last
week on the Soviet Communist
Party and its European sup
pOrters.
Ten years since his death, Josef
Stain has been removed officially
from the Soviet scene. The ami
versary Of his passing will be un-
marked this week in the Soviet
press. His face and name already
have been eradicated from Soviet
buildings and books. His body has
been transplanted. And heroic
Stalingrad has become prosaic
Volgoerad.
The prime mover in this vast
"de-S -Stalinization" campaign has
been ex-coal miner Nikita Serge
yevich Khrushchev, who once
danced Ukrainian jigs at Stains
command.
Ever since his famous speech
at the Goth Party Congress in
1855. MIR. Khrushchev has taken
full responsibility for erasing
"Stalinism" from Soviet life.
The changes are not the sort
that impressed foreigners, but to
Russians, they represented a rad
ical departure with the past.
Evening star., 1963-03-03
Changes Made

Mr.. Khrushchev pushed the Sc
cret police into the background.
He increased the incentives for
all sectors Of society and he
opened Russia's locked windows
to the winds from the West. In
the process. Mr.. Khrushch hev
stirred up considerable intellec-
tual agitation, principally among
the youth who did not know the
caution which Stain had bred in
their elders.
The changes, however, were well
within the framework Of Stains
society. Mr.. Khrushchev used the
apparatus Of the Communist
Party to solidify his own rule;
he did not tear 1t apart. Mr..
Khrushchev purged the party
several times but except for the
Beria case. without the execu-
tions Of Stains time. Army lead
ers were removed (zhukhov) and
well : known politicians exiled

Reform Dispute

With the tax bill thus embat-
tied, Mr.. Kennedy has become in
creasingly concerned over whether
Congress would give him an ade-
quate tax cut If it were embroiled
In a major dispute over reforms.
An indication Of this concern
came at q recent news conference
when the President mentioned the
possibility Of a recession If the
economy were not aided by q rise
in consumer purchasing and cor
porate spending on plants which
reductions In income taxes would
provide.
Then. on Monday, before the
bankers meeting, he sounded an
even louder warning on q recess
sion. He said that If no tax cut
we're enacted one Of the things
that would happen Is this:
THE country will, In the not
too distant future. be struck with
its fifth postwar recession, with
q heavy loss of Jobs and profits,
q record-breaking budget deficit
and an increased burden Of ma
tional debt"

Soviet Image

To accomplish this. the Soviet
Union has worked INCREASINGLY to
improve its image in overseas
areas. Aid is given without any
strings attached. Soviet diplomats
have dropped their introverted
habits and become gracious hosts.
Because Of this policy, the Soviet
Union became at odds in several
areas with Communist China.
Moscow has felt it necessary to
ally itself with both Yugoslavia
and India, two leaders Of the So
called non-aligned bloc Of nations.
Even though Yugoslavia's Tito Is
a Communist, he has rewritten
Marx and Lenin to suit his own
peaceful ends. He Is, In Commu-
mist jargon. q ''revisionist." Tito
believes that war must be avoided
at all costs and that each nation
should be allowed to follow its
own paths hopefully. ultimately
to communism. This is anathema
to Peking.
Since this view Of history is
acceptable to the State Depart
ment, Tito has been treated as q
friend by Washington since he
broke with Stain in 1948. Be
cause Tito Is q leader Of the
non aligned bloc, Mr.. Khru-
shchev has gone out Of his way
to win his friendship. the cam

Europe only because the Soviet
Army was the occupying power.
In China, communism came from
the dedicated revolutionary force
built up through long. hard years
by Mao Tse-tung. Because Of
Stains help to Chang Kai-shek
and his treaty with the Japanese,
Mao never had much trust for
Stain. He respected him as a
tough leader. but from the begin
ming Of Red China's existence,
there were rumblings Of discon-
tent behind the bamboo curtain.
When he assumed power, Mr..
Khrushchev was forced to the
same realization as Stain. The
West was too strong to spread
revolution by armed means. Un-
der these circumstances, Mr..
Khrushchev's peaceful coexist-
ence policy was the most realistic
course.
It was presented to the world
In 1856 when the old colonial
empires were disintegrating. Mr..
Khrushchev reasoned that the

The Needed Cuts

In his address to the bankers
and in the question-answer period
which followed, Mr.. Kennedy did
not stress reforms, but instead
concentrated on the matter Of
reductions. He said what the
economy needed was $40 billion
in cuts. In his original, still
standing proposal, he urged $13.6
billion in reductions and reforms
which would recoup about $3.3
billion.
The President has more than
one fear-that a squabble over
reforms might jeopardize the en-
tire tax bill. He has another
gnawing worry - that Congress
might not provide enough in the
way of reductions. He disclosed
this when he said:
"our concern is that they (Con-
gressJ might make us take q tax
cut Of less than $40 billion. i.
I would certainly err on the side
Of q large-enough tax cut (andD

painful procedure which we are all
going through and then bring

What are the Presidents pros
poets? It seems likely that Mr..
Kennedy has lost much Of his
leverage with Congress on the tax
issue. He viii have to take what
Congress Is willing to give him
and last week 1t looked like the
best he might get Is q tax cut

third and fourth lasted 25 months
and the American economy is now
In its Gath month Of recovery

Whether this presidential rails
ing Of the specter Of recession
viii be credible to Congress and
the business community remains
to be seen. But the fact that Mr..
Kennedy has begun to emphasize
the bad things that could happen
II the bill were not enacted, there
was bound to be q feeling that he
was using scare tchniques to sell
his product.
What is potentially more seri-
Gus, In the opinion Of some, is
that recession talk, given the del
icate matter Of business con-
fidence and psychology, might
accelerate q skid into q new
downturn.
Secretary Dillon on Wednesday
tried to dampen recession talk
when he told the Ways and Means
Committee that in his view there
is no recession in the cards in
the immediate foreseeable fu-
ture." He also appeared to soften
a bit his demands for reforms.
While he again urged them, he
acknowledged that "the important
element" in the bill is tax re-
ductions.
