U.S. Expects
New Offensive
From Moscow
i
WASHINGTON Wl - United
States officials expect Moscow to
start a powerful new political of
fensive in Western Europe in the
Immediate future.
Presenting a dramatic challenge
to the West, the drive is expected
to stir up a cold war front that
has been relatively quiet for
months. Since the Summit Confer
ence last July. Moscow has con
centrated on South Asia and the
Middle East.
Nikita S. Khrushchev, Commu
nist party boss, laid out the stra
tegy for the new operation in h's
speech to the 20th Communist Par
ty Congress in Moscow this week.
Authorities here believe that the
drive which Khrushchev projected
explains the changes in Commu
nist party doctrine which he pro
claimed in the same speech. It is
therefore regarded as the central
theme of his talk in its foreign
policy aspects the heart of his
purpose and argument.
Khrushchev told his immediate
audience and Communist leaders
everywhere that they should make
an all-out effort to arrange "unit
ed front" action with political
groups like the Social Democrats
in Western Europe. He gave them
a positive argument by declaring
that the Communist countries are
leading a drive for peace. Oppos
ing this drive, he said, are "re
actionary forces" of the "capitalist
monopolies."
Khrushchev then sought to re
move a contradiction in Commu
nist doctrine which has trapped the
Reds in their pretensions to peace
in the past. They have put them
selves forward as the only true
advocates of peace even though
their own doctrine held that war
between communism and capital
ism was inevitable. Khrushchev
said it was not inevitable or neces
sary and that "peaceful coexist
ence" is a sound alternative.
