Matter of Fact
By Joseph Alsop
COUNTING OUR LOSSES
jlew York - It is a sobering
pectaele, this United Nations
General Assembly session. It
looks like an
internationa 1
200, but it al
so speaks vol
umes about
what has hap
pened to the
American and
Western posi
tion In the
world in the
joepii also? past seven-
ang-a-half years.
iosef V. Stalin died only a
couple of months after Presi
dent Eisenhower took office.
But Stalin, whose method was
tetror, had terrified the whole
world and was on speaking
tepns with almost no one. So
it is perhaps more revealing
toCchoose a somewhat later
dae - February 8, 1955, for
example, when the installation
ofjthe new brightly smiling
leaning team of Nikolai Bul
ganin and Nikita S. Khrush
chev brought Khrushchev to
hist first pinnacle of supreme
poyer.
On that date, if you care to
thflik back, Khrushchev might
haye joined his own United
Nations delegation in New
Ycik if he chose. And he
might also have secured the
companionship of ..Poland's
sinister Beirut, Hungary's
slimy and blood-stained Rako-si.-pnd
the other satellite boss
es -of the period.
TyT Khrushchev could have
Jj. done hand-stands, offered
free Aswan dams, sent diplo
matic task forces, and prom
ised special tours to the other
side of the moon without
bringing to the U. N. a single
national leader of any conse
quence from any country be
yond the military borders of
thfl Soviet empire. With many
hriVies and much flattery he
might just possibly have per
suaded the bemusea ookhimu
to'tome along from Indonesia;
tint even this inconsequential
su&ess would have been un
likely. "today, in contrast, on Am
erica's doorstep, so to say,
Khrushchev is able to give his
ran Dartv. ana 10 give 11
Bgiinst the will of the State
Department ana me rresiuem
t fho united States. Further
more, this is not the sort of
0iv lhat smarty gave. Ev-
nrunne is coming, including
cvdn President' Eisenhower;
and everyone is coming pre
cisely because American and
Western influence has declin-ed-and
Soviet influence has
intruded in Just about every
strategically significant area
of'the globe.

come along by the Soviet Am
bassador to Cairo. Nasser in
turn persuaded Yugoslavia's
Tito, and Tito and Nasser to
gether persuaded Jawaharlal
Nehru.
In the case of Cuba's Fidel
Castro, of course, the merest
telephone call sufficed. The
same held true for Guinea's
Sekou Toure. who has taken
far more undisguised pro-
Communist line than Castro
in the heart of Africa. Ghana's
Nkrumah is reported to have
decided to join the party,
partly for the party itself,
partly to please Khrushchev,
and partly because of the ex
amples set by others. Several
more of the national leaders
here assembled are in the
Nkrumah category.
There are simple : reasons
why Khrushchev has thus
been able to organize his own
party of chiefs of stale and
heads of government on Am
erica's doorstep, despite the
American government's best
efforts to turn it into the kind
of party smarty gave. In
South America, to begin with,
there is not only Castro; there
are at least six oilier national
situations which may explode
at any moment into Castro
like governments. -
N SOUTHEAST Asia, again,
the tiny, obscure, but geo
graphically crucial nation of
Laos has just been flagrantly
invaded, for the second time,
by Laotian Communist and
Vietnamese units trained and
organized by Khrushcnevs
satellites in North Vietnam.
This obscure invasion in jun
gle territory, which tailed
when it was tried a year ago,
may well succeed this time
because of internal divisions
in Laos. If it succeeds, Cam
bodia and South Vietnam will
be next on the list.
In Africa, yet again, the
Soviet agent, Patrice, Lumum
ba, has suffered a setback,
and the massive Communist
beachhead in the Congo has
been at least temporarily, liq
uidated. But in that chaotic
and unhappy country, another
turn of the wheel is likely at
any time. Meanwhile, it is
just as important to note that
the two most outstanding Af
rica leaders, the Arab chief,
Nasser of Egypt, and the big
gest single Negro figure,
Nkrumah of Ghana, vigorous
ly supported the Soviet agent,
Lumumba, at least until the
recent Congo coup d'etat.
With the sole exception of
Australia-New Zealand, there
is not a single area on the face
of the globe where the decline
of American influence and
the rise of Soviet influence 1
cannot be clearly observed.
Even in Western Europe, the
Soviets have openly begun to
attack the freedom of West
Berlin by carefully calculated
salami tactics. The aim is
clear. This country has no
more sacred trust. Yet the!
American and Western re
sponse to the attack on Berlin
has thus far been feeble and
indecisive. ,
If anyone doubts the reality
of the decline we have expe
rienced, let him look at the
world, and then look at this
U. N. session.
