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."
