Salem, Oregon, Thursday, June 21, 1936 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL' Section 1 Page 11 Dulles Makes Hard Attack on Red Despotism Present Leaders Said Close Collaborators Of Joseph Stalin SAN FRANCISCO W-Secretary of State John Foster Dulles made a slashing attack on "Soviet Com munist despotism" today, assail ing its present leaders as "close collaborators" of the late Joseph Stalin and the beneficiaries of his "sadistic" purges. The recently disclosed secret speech made by Communist party boss Nikita Khrushchev on the abuses of Stalin's rule, Dulles said "is the most damning indictment of despotism ever made by a despot." "It should of itself be suf ficient," he said, "to make all free peoples shun that type of despotism as they would shun a plague." At the same time, in a speech prepared for the annual conven tion meeting of Kiwams Interna tional, Dulles challenged the So viet rulers to put to the test in Germany their argument that communism will be freely accept ed by non-Communist peoples on its merits. At the summit conference in Geneva last year, he said, Rus sia s rulers pledged themselves to let the German people in East as well as West Germany have free elections. Dulles said that the 17 millions living in East Germany know communism at first hand and most other Germans know it from eyewitness reports. "Yet, he said, since the Geneva meeting the Soviet government has refused to fulfill its promise of free elections because it fears the German people would reject com munism and its so-called social gains" in East Germany. "Are not the free people entitled to presume," Dulles asked, "that there is something basically wrong about a system that has never been accepted voluntarily by any people and that the Soviet rulers are unwilling to submit to the ver dict of the peoples who know it best?" Dulles said the main point to be drawn by the free world from Khruschev's sensational expose of the Stalin era is that it demon strates "the inability of the Soviet Communist system to liquidate its own evil leadership." Under this system, Dulles went on, "only death or violence can assure the end" of a period of misrule. "The principal political figures in Russia today," Dulles declared, "were all intimates of Stalin and knew full well what was going on Khrushchev and (Premier Niko lai) Bulganin were Stalin's close collaborators and indeed the bene ficiaries of his purges within the party. And today they must admit that once their system is fastened upon a country there are no means to prevent the grossest abuses. Khrushchev, he said, alleged in the February speech that Stalin "to satisfy his sadistic lusts, con stantly invoked torture to procure false confessions which were then made the basis of judicial murder." Dulles said Khrushchev's own disclosures show that "the Soviet Communist system provides nc safeguards against even such ex treme abuses as those which Mr Khrushchev recounts. . . There are no checks and balances." Bad as the Stalin period was Dulles said that the "Chinese Communists have sought to outdo Stalin in brutality." Furthermore he declared that while the present Russian leaders seek to disavow their dead ruler and "show some signs of hoping to avoid a repetition of his mis rule, not even this much gain is registered by the Chinese party which seeks to extend its system in Asia." By contrast with the successors to Stalin in Russia who "at least profess to have renounced the use of force In international auairs the Chinese Communists still re fuse to make such a renunciation, Dulles declared. He referred to U.S.-Red Chinese negotiations at Geneva regarding Formosa. As he has before, Dulles said that in the face of Russian arms advances, the free nations must keep up their alliances and their strength. But he held out the hope that forces now at work within the Soviet Union and its satellites will "require that those who rule shall increasingly conform to prin ciples of freedom," and that a world-wide era of true liberalism mav be achieved.
