Actually however socialists and communists do not mix. They may acknowledge Karl Marx as a common sire, but unity ends there. This contest between so cialists and communists is the real feature, of Europe's postwar poli tics. "Eyes left" is the frequently heard command coming out of Europe but how far left and in what company is the real ques tion. The forces of the left pre sent little or no harmony in ac-4 tion, no matter what accord they may assert in economic philoso phy. The outburst of Britain's Bevin Kgaintt Russia's Vlhinsky is more than a dispute over Greece and Indonesia arid more than con tention 'between the great powers they represent It marks also the hostility of British socialists of the dominant labor party to com munism as exemplified in the USSR. There is a large measure of nationalist rivalry between Russia and Britain in their back ing of political groups on the continent, but fundamentally also there is a violent disagreement over the political and economic trends. Both Churchill and Attlee resist the westward push of com munism, which as the former once said has already drawn an iron curtain across eastern Eu rope. British liberalism is tougher than Marxian doctrine; in the face of government by commissars. Attempt have bedn made to bring the parties of the left to gether.
