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.

From the appearance of Hitler
to the outbreak of war the Soviets
were fiercely opposed to Germany.
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

NEW YORK (U.R) Develop

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

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

last spring the Navy announced it
had developed a non-inflammable
hydraulic fluid. The Air Trans

that the Navy development was
not satisfactory.

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

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. The union originally
asked for 21 cents.
Meanwhile, new outbreak of

Party policy which shapes and;
directs Russian foreign policy. It!
also aids "plain" foreign policy j
by putting Communist - controlled
governments in the satellite na
tions, thus erecting buffers be
tween Russia and the west.
Soviet actions in Germany and
Korea, and elsewhere ' in the
world, however, are mainly dic
tated, not by considerations of
trade or security, but by the ori
ginal and unchanged objectives of
tne Communists.
But when the necessity again
arises, the party line will be sub
merged again, and the Russians
will come forward with a differ
ent face.
