Our Other Bases
Perhaps Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev
is playing hard-to-get on visiting U. S. bomber
and missiles, bases, or perhaps it's just that we
haven't offered entree to the bases he's really
interested in. ....
President Eisenhower on Aug. 12 in effect
repeated an invitation previously extended by
Defense Secretary Neil H. McElroy to the Com
munist party boss, although the Chief Executive
made it clear he wasn't going to "push and press
it." But the bases on which the Soviet Union has
concentrated its attention over the years it's
been almost a fixation are our bases overseas.
u Liquidation of foreign bases has been a fix
ture of virtually every Soviet proposal to end
the cold war. The propaganda was stepped up
after Russia returned its naval base at Port
Arthur, Manchuria, to Red China in May, 1955,
and its naval base at Porkkala,. Finland, in Sep
tember of the same year. " '
IfHRUSHCHEV has returned to the theme
with a persistence that indicates real distress.
On Jan. 26 declaring that "Khrushchev is more
frightened of war than anyone else" he pulled
out all the stops. The United States, he charged
had "created bases all around" the USSR. "Their
planes are flying," he said, ". . . with atomic
bombs. Someone may lose his head, anything can
happen . . . We, too, have plenty of rockets in
position."
COCIALIST editors of West Germany were told
on May 5 that Russia could destroy their land
with eight hydrogen bombsl Khrushchev made
it clear that "the countries first to suffer will be
those in which the Americans are setting up their
rocket bases."
. Khrushchev contended that though the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization countries really
possessed a large air force, that force was tech
nically outdated and it could be shot down by
ordinary anti-aircraft artillery, even by ordinary
fighters. "Why, then," he went on, "do the West
ern military leaders base themselves on bomber
aviation and talk a lot
rocket technology is weak . . . Therefore it ap
pears that talk about a large number of bombers
is being indulged in for purposes of deceit."
Referring to this colloauv in a little-reDorted
speech at the National War College, Allen W.
Dulles, director of the Central Intelligence
Agency, on July 24 conceded that it was un
doubtly good propaganda if Khrushchev could
make it stick "since the USSR today is in a posi
tion of inferiority vis-a-vis the U. S, with regard
to manned bombers.
While counseling more strenuous efforts for
defense rather than any sort of complacency,
Dulles made a further telling point which does
as much as anything to explain Khrushchev's
anxiety neurosis : "The tremendous effort which
we see the Soviets putting into advanced radar,
ground-to-air missiles, and other defenses against
aircraft would seem to belie the deprecatory
statements of Khrushchev about them." E.R.R.
Trouble in the Communes?
For the second time in less than a year, Red
China's leaders appear to be back-pedaling on
their plan to regiment the countryside into a
collection of ant colonies. Reports reaching the
Western listening post at Hong Kong say that
the incentive system has been reintroduced in
agriculture, that some of the communes in the
Swatow area of Kwangtung province m south
west China have been disbanded and that vari
ous concessions have been made to other com
munes in.Kiangsi, Honan, Hunan and Kangsu
provinces.
bome of the information sources are suspect
and it may be that the situation isn't as desperate
as pictured. But the Reds have publicly retreated
to the extent of allowing families to dine to
gether instead of eating in communal mess halls.
Vice Premier Teng Tsu-huei in a redent directive
said that "future development of socialization of
rural housekeeping' would depend on the "vol
untary principle." ,
f IS clear that the commune system has not
'' performed as well as Mao & Co. had expected,
at least partly because of last year's catastrophic
floods. Peking admitted in June that agricultural
production during the first six months of the
year lagged behind the 1958 pace. The Reds had
hoped to expand grain production from 375 mil
lion to 525 million tons. Western sources believe
the expansion was needed to finance imports of
industrial machinery and materials for China's
"great leap forward."
To make matters worse, the commune system
is under doctrinal fire from Marxian coreligion
ists. Khrushchev reportedly described the Chi
nese experiment as "reactionary" during his
celebrated session with Sen. Hubert H. Hum
phrey. Though the remark was later denied,
Khrushchev came very near saying the same
thing during his visit to Poland in July, Russia,
he said, had tried the same tack after the civil
war and found that it was not "what communism
is (or) how it ought to be built."
However, the communes cannot be written
off at this point as a total flop. Mao and the
others in the Peking hierarchy have invested
their prestige and power too heavily to withdraw
with ase ; in fact, some observers think it might
jeopardize their hold on the party. Moreover,
doctrinaire though they may be, the Communists
have always been pragmatic enough to take a
step to the rear for every two steps along their
determined course. E.R.R.

DEFEATING PARTY
Washington-The extremists
among the Congressional
Democrats are- well on the
r o a d to de-
ij teating tneir
nurn nariv in
next year's
President i a 1
a 1 arWrv TV c
they are do
ing with that
happy inabili
ty to under
stand reality,
which is their
invariable characteristic.
The prospects for the Re
publican nominee, whether he
be Vice President Richard
Nixon or Governor Nelson
Rockefeller of New York, are
far better than a month ago.
The most able Democrats
here, whether sensibly liber
al or moderate or conserva
tive, know .it, too.
It is not that the Republi
can party has suddenly gath
ered great new strength by
its own actions. It is simply
that the Democratic fringes
on left and right-but mainly
on the left because of the spe
cial destructiveness of the ul
tra liberals to any common-
sense politics-are progressive
ly putting an impression of
theatrical futility over then
party's record.
Ultra - liberal pressure
groups, notably the labor lob
by, are wholly in control-of
the ultra liberals in Congress
Mn both parties, if it comes
to that. If they go on as they
are now going on, the Demo
cratic ultra liberals and their
pressure-group masters will
elect a Republican President
in 1960-with some consider
able help from those they dis
like the most, the Democrats
from the Deep South.
THE latest and best illustra
tion of thes pectacular in
competence of this curious
coalition of left and right
wingers is in the labor reform
issue. They have succeeded in
defeating in the House of
Representatives a moderate
Democratic reform bUl in
favor of a "tougher," and es
sentially Republican, meas
ure. The winners are several;
the Republican party gener
ally, President Eisenhower
and possibly, for . the short
run only, the labor leaders
themselves, since the net re
sult is likely to be ho final
Congressional action at aU in
this session. The undoubted
loser is the Democratic party
generally. The probable los
ers, if in a less sure and meas
urable way, are aU the ration
ally liberal Democratic Presi
dential aspirants, like Senator
John F. Kennedy of Massa
chusetts, who with a good
Congressional record might
have the most general public
appeal. ..
rpHE position is this: every
politician, Democratic or
Republican, save a hanHful of
frantic and outright labor
stooges, knows perfectly well
that the public is demanding.
some reiorm. ai. least au per
cent of the Democratic mem
bers of both houses know that
this Democratically - controll
ed Congress can adjourn with
out acting at aU only at its
great peril. (If this should in
fact be the outcome, the Re
publicans would not be heart
broken; after all, the Demo
crats would be responsible.)
The Senate has long since
passed a reasonable bill,
largely the work of Senator
Kennedy. But the House has
now adopted a ' bill which,
though perhaps academically
not too severe, is entirely too
severe to win Senate accept
ance. This has been done by the
House for two reasons: 1. Be
cause the rubber-stamp ultra
liberals, under nakedly arro
gant orders from the labor
lobbyists, refused at every
step to give any assistance to
William S.

the sensible liberals who
wanted to clean up but not to
punish labor. 2. Because many
of the moderate Southern
Democrats, under less arro
gant but nevertheless very
real orders from business lob
byists, likewise refused assist
ance to any compromise that
was rational from the Demo
cratic viewpoint. These sim
ply went over to the Repub
licans and the Deep South
erners. rpHUS if labor reform is
dead for this session-and
the odds are 3 to 1 that it is
the quetsion of who killed
this cock robin is not hard to
answer. Two arrows were
shot into this bird. One, from
the defecting Southern mod
erates, went into the wing.
But the other, from the ultra
liberals, went into the bird's
heart.
They have gone a long way,
the ultra liberals, to convince
many reasonable people, including-
many reasonable
Democrats, that they are sim
ply too irresponsible to be en
trusted with important af
fairs. And inability to control
them has hurt their party as
a whole.
They are good at making
demonstrations of "f i g h t,
fight, fight." But they are in
creasingly proving that they
can't perform at their job,
which is politics. The end of
legislative politics is not to
lose actions with proud talk
of "no compromise." The' end
of legislative politics is to leg
islate. They are like a lawyer
who, thought he always utter
ly enthralls the. jury, also al
ways loses his cases.

End of Democrat
Ticket Squabble
Seen in Meeting
Los Angeles (UPD Civic
and party leaders, faced with
a "take it or leave it" ulti
matum, today were expected
to announce a shake-up of the
host committee and an end of
the bitter squabble over
tickets to next year's Demo
cratic National Convention
here.
The host committee will
meet with Democratic Na
tional Chairman Paul M. But
ler at 3 p.m. following a week
end of hush-hush meetings in
which all participants were
pledged to secrecy.
Los Angeles has been in
sisting that it was entitled to
5,000. of the 16,000 conven
tion seats at the Memorial
Sports Arena under terms of
the convention agreement.
The tickets are worth up to
$1,000 a pair in "contribu
tions" from party members.
The city was counting on
this money to help raise the
$350,000 subsidy it pledged in
order to get the convention.
Butler Explains Needs .
Butler contended no
promise of 5,000 seats for the
city was made. He has said
1,500 was the limit because
nearly 13,000 seats were
needed for other convention
participants and spectators
from outside California.
Butler has made it clear he
is" determined to reopen bids
for the convention from other
cities unless his limit of 1,500
tickets to the rally is accepted.
The announcement after to
day's meeting is expected to
be that Butlers ticket limit
has been accepted, despite
the committee's contention it
was originally promised 5,000
tickets; and that oilman Edwin
Pauley, the committee's trea
surer and chief spokesman for
the . 5,000 ticket camp, has
stepped down from his post.

THE NEW COMMUNIST
AGGRESSION
Washington - Maybe it just
proves that the country has
been traneuilized, or even an
esthetized, m
recent years,
At any rate, a
new Commu-
n 1 s t aggres
sion in a re
in o t e but
acutely sensi
tive area
would have
caused a na-
Jn-Db Alstin uonwiue sur
in the old days; and now it
a - - j
hardly interrupts the argu
ments about what to show
Nikita S. Khrushchev.
The scene of the new ag
gression is Laos, the moun
tainous little country that di
vides Thailand from the two
Vietnams. This is about as far
away as possible. But Dien
Bien Phu also seemed incon
ceivably remote when the
French forces were trapped
there by the Communist Army
of the Vietminh. And Dien
Bien Phu opened a wholly
new chapter in the history of
Asia, after having caused the
use of nuclear weapons to be
seriously discussed in the Na
tional Security Council.
The situation in Laos is
viewed as potentially very
grave indeed in the inner cir
cles of the government, and
with good reason. But since
so little attention has been
paid to this situation to date,
it may be well to summarize
the main facts.
IN BRIEF Laos acquired a
relatively strong govern
ment about a year ago, with
the appointment of a new
Premier, Phouy Sananikone.
As soon as he took office, Pre
miere Sananikone then set to
work to put the Laotian house
in order. In particular, he be
gan to reorganize and
strengthen the Army, and to
root out the surviving ele
ments of the Pathet Lao.
The Pathet Lao is simply an
extension of the Communist
Vietminh movement. It actu
ally ruled two border provinc
es, Phong Saly and Samneua,
for some time after Indochina
was partitioned in 1954. Yet
the anti-Pathet Lao campaign
of the new Prime Minister
went' rather well, as long as
Laos was left to itself.
Probably the simple fact
that the Premiere Sananikone
was making too much prog
ress decided the Communists
to act. Their announced pre
text was the arrival of a 130
man American training mis
sion for the Laotian Army. In
any case, the Communists act
ed about three weeks ago, us
ing just the same device they
used to use against the French,
v
IN FORMER times, the Viet
minh sent their recruits
across the border into Com
munist China, to be safely
trained and formed into fight
ing units there. This time, the
Quality
to Establish Beachhead in
American unrest has been
accumulating steadily this
year.
Latin Americans are being
given the "Red-Carpet" treat
ment in Moscow and Peiping..
Soviet Premier Kikita Khru
shchev and Red China strong
man Mao Tse-Tung have lent
their personal prestige to the
drive.
Significant Signposts
Here are some of the signi
ficant signposts that have
marked the Red campaign in
the trouble-torn Caribbean as
well as other Latin American
countries beset by political
hostilities, and economic dis
tress: ,
-During the 21st Congress
of the Communist Party of the
Soviet Union in Moscow this
year, delegates of 18 Commu
nist parties in Latin America
their problems were accorded
with every available weapon
of political obstructionism and
sabotage.
The Communists scored last
week with their machiavel
lian masterpiece when they
joined to elect a regional gov
ernment of "Christian Socials"
and right wing turncoats un
der Silvia Milazzo. In return,
Milazzo gave the Communists
and : left wing Socialists the
support they needed to pack
the seven, legislative commit
tees of the regional assembly.
The catch is that Milazzo's
Vietminh rules of North Viet
nam played the role of the
Chinese. A considerable num
ber of Pathet Lao adherents
were sheltered in North Viet
nam, armed from the Viet
minh arsenals, formed into
battalions and trained by the
Vietminh Army, and stiffened
with Vietminh hard core Com
munist leaders. These troops
were then sent back across
the Laos border three weeks
ago to begin guerilla war
against the Laotian govern
ment. -
The force moved in small
outfits, probably none larger
than company size. The two
provinces attacked, the old
Pathet Lao stronghold, Phong
Saly and Samneua, are lack
ing in communications, moun
tainous, and heavily jungled.
Thus estimating the invading
force is difficult, but it is be
lieved to be somewhere be
tween 1,500 and 2,000 men.
The force is" smaU. But in
view of the terrain and the
natural advantage always en
joyed by guerilla fighters,
even this small force consti
tutes an extremely difficult
problem for the Laotian Army
of 25,000 men. Hence it is too
early to form any idea of the
probable outcome of the cam
paign against the invaders.
MEANWHILE, exceedingly
arrogant statements,
brandishing all sorts of dire
threats, have been made in
the Vietminh capital at Hanoi,
and by the Communist Chi
nese government in Peking.
Finally, it should be noted
that the Vietminh chieftain,
Ho Chin Minh, has just been
the guest of President Eisen
hower's future guest, Nikita
S. Khrushchev. Hence it must
be assumed that Khrushchev
was privy to Ho Chih Minh's
plans for Laos.
Just this fact makes the at
tack on Laos an ugly business,
even , if it is successfully re
pelled. After all, this bare
faced Communist aggression
was launched when Khrush
chev was already packing his
bags for a White House visit.
In other times Khrushchev, if
invited, would now be disin-
vited.
Furthermore, there are in
dications that the Vietminh
government has additional
battalions of alleged patriots
to send across the Laos bor
der. If the aggression is thus
expanded, the situation can
quite easily get out of hand.
And if this happens, and noth
ing is done about it, the re
sults will not be confined to
Laos. In fact the partition of
Indochina sponsored by the
American government in 1954
will finally turn out to be
just what it looked at the
time a delayed action Mu
nich in Asia.

gates delivered addresses to

various sources indicate that
their problems were accored

Khrushchev himself hailed
what he called Latin Amer
ica's struggle against U.S.
"imperialism."
-Twelve of the Latin Amer

substantial increase of visitors

Non-Communists as well as

vote margin in the assembly
and can be overthrown by the
Communists at any time. The
Communists and Socialists, on
the other hand, cannot be dis
lodged from the legislative
committees which are elected
for four-year terms, and thus
control the real law-making
power of Sicily.
Japan and Korea
Japan and the Republic of
Korea, two of the United
States' principal allies in Asia,
still are deadlocked over re
sumption of diplomatic rela-
tions-and no early conclusion
of current negotiations on that
point appears in sight. Korea
is angered over Tokyo's deci
sion to repatriate Korean resi
dents from Japan to Communists-run
North Korea. And
Japan feels just as strongly
about Korea's establishment of
President Syngman R he e's
fishery line.
Korea is delaying lifting its
ban on trade with Japan as
a negotiating weapon, but ob
servers feel this kind of pres
sure is . likely to have little
influence on Tokyo.
Flood Aid
Diplomatic sources in Tai
pei are wondering what the
Nationalist Chinese would do
if Communist China should of
fer relief supplies to Formosa's
flood and earthquake victims,
Red China, also stricken with
floods, rejected just such an
offer from the Nationalists a
few weeks ago, causing Taipei
to say; that Peiping felt no
compassion for its needy citi
zens. De Gaulle and Morocco i
After President Charles de
Gaulle visits Algeria on Aug.
27, the French are expected
tq make new efforts to ar
range a meeting between "le

hammed V of Morocco in an
effort to arrange some kind
of Algerian settlement. Such
a meeting appeared imminent
less than a n.onth ago when
Mohammed was in Paris for
medical treatment. But he left
for home suddenly without
seeing De Gaulle.

known Communists have
been given the "Red Carpet"
treatment.
-In one five-day Deriod in
July Communist China enter
tained student delegations
from 10 Latin American coun
tries, plus a medical delega
tion from Bolivia, and a
former vice president of
cniie. The welcome mat is
out particularly for women's
groups, youth organizations,
trade unionists and former
government officials.
A delegation of Commu
nist Chinese journalists has
toured Latin America. Their
visit developed into a subtle
campaign to hire locaL report
ers in those countries to as
sist in preparing propaganda
broadcasts to Latin America.
The delegation arrived in
Cuba July 8 anrl was wpI-
comed by a number of promi
nent Cuban officials.
Alliance With Castro?
-There is some evidence of
a close aliance between Chi
nese Communists and their
party colleagues in Fidel Cas
tro's Cuba. On July 10. a
broadcast from Lima, Peru,
said that the "New Chinese
Democratic Alliance," would
shortly publish a newspaper
in Havana known as "Kuan
Wa Po." The "New Chinese
Democratic Alliance" was de
scribed as the only Chinese
Communist organization of
ficially established in Cuba.
It was reported the offices of
its newspaper would share the
same building which houses
"Hoy," an avowed Communist
outfit.
The Senate Internal Se
curity Committee is focusing
its attention on the Commu
nist maneuvers.
A few days ago, Joseph
Kornfeder, a one-time Commu
nist organizer who worked
for the Kremlin in Latin
America in 1930's, testified on
the new tactics. He predicted
a rash of revolutions in the
near future similar to that
which brought Castro to
power. He said they will be
"truly Communist Revolu
tions but do not look like it."
Herier Stresses Importances
