WHEN the western Big Three get together in Bermuda
(If a French government will stay in office long
enough to permit it) their biggest and most serious job
will be attempting to figure out what comes next in to
day's colossal world chess game.
Much depends upon the intelligence of their guess. It
can mean the difference between collective strength and
disorganized weakness. It can mean the difference be
tween resisting future aggression or being obliged to
meekly bow to it. It can even

Direction From Moscow
The 19th Communist Party
Congress last October all but
openly announced this cam
paign a campaign of talking
peace while carrying on an
undergrouna war. Communists
abroad "were told they and the
Soviet party needed one another
and that the Soviet party s main
duties included - "establishing!

workers of all countries.".
And what about peace? Will
the communists stop this ac

Moscow itself has answered
this, many times over, and still j
today answers it the same way.l
There can be no "transition1

in circumstances of "capitalist
encirclement. so long as any
strong capitalist state exists,
there will be capitalist encircle
ment. This capitalist encircle
ment must eventually be eliml-

.The Communists showed
steady strength. The , extreme

This wing is made up "of mon

strength threatened-to leave the
parliamentary balance of power
with a half-dozen minor splinter
parties lined up neither with the
government nor with the oppo
sition.
The total of 28,386,610 votes
cast was enormous, almost 94
per cent of the electorate. It was
probably the heaviest percentage
turnout in the history or modern
democratic elections.
The Communist-dominated
left wing seeks outright ties with
Moscow. The monarchist-fascist
right, highly nationalistic, wants
a middle way separate from
either East or West. i
It is in the lower house the
Chamber of Deputies that the
De Gasperi forces now are
pressed hardest. They retained
control of the upper house by
125 seats of the 237 that were
at issue, but won only a narrow
majority in the lower chamber.
The voting results showed the
center parties have slipped bad
ly sine the last parliamentary
elections in 1948. Their winning
margin is so thin that illness or
enforced absence of any center
deputy could provoke a legisla
tive crisis of the type that has
plagued France since the end
of the war.

Many observers were inclined
to attribute most signs of a gen

to those of the international sit
uation. There was considerable ex

a large part
of the econ

The U.S. faced a vast new
wheat surplus and heavy carry

have dropped some 50 percent.
and the world demand for wheat
has been diminishing. Secretary

iThis, of course, includes the
extension of the excess profits

its certainties began to emerge
from uncertainty, it appeared it

Steel Inventories Growing
I Nevertheless, steel inventories
were growing, and analysts in
that industry seemed to think
that next year would bring
