Page 12, Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore., Thure., Oct. 21, 1948 Key fo Russian Riddle Declared Consistent USSR 'Double Life' By RELMAN MORIN AP Foreign Affairs Analyst The real key to the Russian riddle lies, I believe, In the fact that the Soviet government for - ever leads a double life. Simultaneously, It Is pursuing not one, but two foreign policies. One 1 a "plain" policy, concerned with security, trade, and all the Interests that go to form the for eign policy of any nation. The other is the foreign policy of the Communist Party. These two are not always eith er parallel or compatible. The objectives are by no means the same. Sometimes, they seem to ' oppose each other. Denies Itself At such times, gorgeous con tradictions are succeeded by stun nlng paradoxes. The Russian line twists and turns and denies It self. It changes direction like a frightened dog on a football field. Here Is an example: COMPACT .

The two governments fulminated against each other, for years in such terms as "Fascist beasts," "Bolshevik, Mongolian savages, and similar pleasantries. The Naxis hunted down and ruthlessly destroyed their Communists; the Reds, by deed and word, were openly hostile to everything Ger man. Sudden Treaty Yet, in 1D39, Russia suddenly signed a non-aggression treaty with Germany. Magically, over night, the two governments be came "friendly." Do you remember the amazing circumlocutions and mental acro batics performed by the American Communist leaders in trying to explain this to the shocked and bewildered brethren? What they couldn't say, by way of explanation, was this: That, at that moment, Com munist Party policy, with ita line and its objectives, had been forced to give way to the "plain" foreign policy, which had, as its objective military security. Not Ready The Kremlin saw a war coming. Sooner or later, the German hordes would be turned on Rus sia. The Red army wasn't ready, then. So, even though Nazi Germany represented the deepest and worst and blackest type of capitalist state the very type that Com munist has sworn to destroy party policy, for the time being, had to be abandoned. It was a case of plain necessity. Then, In 1940, Germany attack ed Russia, as the Kremlin had foreseen. Russia suddenly found herself "allied" with some other filthy capitalists. But was she? Not according to Eugene Varga, a Soviet political expert. He wrote: Stopped Temporarily "The fact that the Soviet Union and highly developed capitalist states were In the same camp against fascist aggression meant that the struggle of the two sys tems was relaxed and temporary ly stopped. It did not mean, of course, that the struggle was ended." In the same way, Russia al legedly disbanded the Comintern. The Comintern was the directing agency of Communist parties in other countries. Ita abjective, working through those parties was to destroy every capitalist state. So, presumably, during the time of collaboration, Moscow called oft the dogs. But in fact, as we now know, the Comintern simply put on a new, but not a cleaner, shirt, and became the Comlnform. ' Feared Defeat Because of the venomous hatred of the Orthodox Communist for the capitalist nations, Lenin con sistently frowned on any form of international cooperation. He was afraid of being out-voted In the Democratic processes. - Therefore, he called the League of Nations a "Devil's Kitchen." He referred to the system of counting votes as "idiotic." Yet, In 1922, the Soviet govern ment began participating in in ternational conferences. In 1945, it joined the United Nations. why, again, because of plain necessity In terms of ordinary security. For identical reasons, In 1945 because of being exhausted by the German occupation and the war in the east they joined the U. N. As of today, it Is the Communist New Hydraulic Shell Officials Fluid Reported MMiu,M.rin ricci n nil v i v NEW YORK (U.R) Develop ment of a new fire-resistant hydraulic fluid that may Increase safety in aviation was announced this week. The development, reported jointly by the Monsanto Chemical Co., and the Douglas Aircraft Co., combines most of the desirable characteristics of existing hy draulic fluids and fire-resistant Qualities. The announcement said the new fluid, to be known as skydrol, was developed after more than two years research work, and that arrangements now have been com pleted for manufacture and dis tribution of the product. The government -has been urg ing development of such a fire resistant fluid for civil planes, and last spring the Navy announced it had developed a non-inflammable hydraulic fluid. The Air Trans port Assn. contended, however, that the Navy development was not satisfactory. Chinese Produce Historical Film SAN FRANCISCO W. Of. ficials of the CIO oil workers union meet Thursday with repre sentatives of Shell Chemical Co a Shell oil subsidiary, but little hope existed for a quick settle ment of the 48-day-old California oil strike. A meeting was held Wednesday between the union and five major oil companies but failed to pro duce any . Important develop ments. A spokesman said no im mediate settlement was indicated. The negotiations were the first held for IS days. Two major t- sues blocked settlement. The unions asked that workers charged with picket line violence be re hired subject to arbitration and that the company drop damage suits filed against the union. See Violence The companies have refused to re-employ strikers who engaged in violence. The union has Indicated that It is ready to accept the company's offer of a 12 cent per hour wage Increase.

Filmed originally in Mandarin, English dialogue is now being dubbed In for exhibition in the United States and Europe. The historical movie, which cost more than U.S. $250,000 and took some IS months to make, Is a far cry from the usual "quickies" which Chinese film studios gener ally grind out. Its cast includes many of the leading screen stars of China, and scenes were filmed all the way from Peiplng to Canton. The story Is that of Wen Tien Hsiang, noted scholar and states man, who In the 13th century fought fruitlessly to prevent the overthrow of the decadent Sung Dynasty by the great Kublai Khan. It was Wen's unmovable faith in his country In the face of bribery, threats and ultimate exe cution that gives the picture its theme. and chunks of iron. Six men were injured, they said. J .
