Zi. . la I a. mm , H, 8sfe Y Kremlin Believed Keeping Hands Free For Future Deals London U.R) Western diplomats said today Russian un easiness over Communist China's sudden rise 'to power in the Far East may be the reason for the Soviet's new campaign of friend ship in the West. They suggested that Peiping has risen toward the status of a world power far faster than the Kremlin expected and that the Soviet is tidying up its relations with the West to keep her hands free for future dealings with her huge Asian neighbor. Parallel Developments The diplomats based this as sessment on two parallel de velopments in world affairs: Peiping's increasing willingness to assert itself and Moscow's sub sequent campaign to "normal ize" relations with Austria, Yugoslavia and West Germany The situation has an example in recent world history. Adolf 'Hitler at the opening of World War II looked westward to the hostile democracies and east ward toward a growing, assert ive Russia. Hitler's answer was to make friends with one side while he dealt with the other. He signed a non-aggression pact, a short lived one, with Russia and then fought the West. Diplomatic observers who sug gested this classic strategy as a possible explanation of the Sov iet's present policy said the out come would not necessarily be tension between Russia and Chi na. But they said Chinese Com munist growth still may be causing certain uneasiness in Moscow over the potentialities of the hew colossus which bord ers the Soviet Union for thou sands of miles. That long border holds the potentiality of differ ences over territory and popula tion. ' . ' Diplomatic sources said these trends would make the recent Soviet advances to "Western. Eu rope plausible and acceptable though the West would remain alert against any Soviet "plant."
