By K. C. THALER
United Press International
London -(UPD- Soviet Russia
wants political, military and
economic supremacy over the
United States and, with it,
world leadership.
This is the Kremlin's ultl
mate goal in the 14-year-old
cold war which Josef Stalin
started in the aftermath of
victory in World War II.
Moscow has ever since re
mained firmly set on wresting
world leadership from the
"capitalist" west, or more ex
plicitly, from the United
States.
Whatever the changes
which have swept through the
Soviet Union both during the
grim Stalin era and the event
ful years which followed his
death, the Kremlin's ultimate
goal has never altered, only
the tactics have changed.
Goes Long Way
Russia has gone a long way
toward this goal since the
days when Hitler's goose-step-ing
armies knocked at the
gates of Moscow less than 20
years.
Today, Soviet Premier Nlki
ta Khrushchev boasts that the
world balance of power al
ready has shifted in favor of
the Communist bloc, meaning
Russia In the first place.
And, confidently, he has
predicted that ultimate vic
tory Is in sight.
In dolnff no hp takes for
granted two major develop
ments: Russian military su
premacy over the United
States which world experts
say is. not the case. He also
banks on Russia being able to
overtake the United States
economically. The figures
Morebver, the self-confident
Soviet leader may be over
looking the potential danger
to Soviet Russia from the
fast-growing Red Chinese co
lossus at its very doorstep.
Gobbles Up Nations
The Kremlin, with a steady
eye on its target, began its
world leadership campaign
with a process of territorial
expansion during World War
II. Its outright or virtual an
nexation of Estonia, Latvia,
Lithuania and areas in Fin
land and Poland. Romania
and northeast Germany rep
resented a gain of more than
200,000 square miles in Eu
rope and almost 25 million
people
Subsequently, Soviet politi
cal technique-backed by the
presence in the heart of Eu
rope of powerful Red armies-
brought all of Albania, Bulga
ria, Romania, Eastern Ger
many, Poland, Hungary and
Czechoslovakia under Mos
cow's domination. These coun
tries, covering some 400,000
square miles with a popula
tion of about 87 million non-
Russians and national incomes
at the time equivalent to
about half that of the USSR.
were incorporated in the So
viet empire by a process of
conquest without war."
Allied resistance, which cli
maxed in the 1948 Berlin air
lift to beat Stalin's blockade
of the divided city, brought
the outright Soviet advance
in Europe to a halt. . .
Changes Strategy
Khrushchev changed the
Kremlin strategy but without
drastically abandoning the ul
timate policy goals.
Today he hopes to score ul
timate victory over what he
terms, "imperialism" by a
method of competitive peace
ful co-existence.
Last year world Commu
nism laid down in a "mani
festo" at a Moscow meeting of
leaders from 87 Communist
show that Moscow has a long
and arduous way to go before parties the long-term strategy
It can hope to catch up,, let I for the overthrow of so-called
alone overtake, American eco-1 Western capitalism and im-
nomlc growth. . 'perlalism.
And earlier this month
Khrushchev set out his own
blueprint for the bloodless
conquest of the West, headed
by the United States, as his
chief challenger.
The blueprint bases itself
on the "clear perspective of
Communist victory on the
worldwide scale" and a claim
that the United States has en
tered a "phase of its decline."
"There is no longer any
force in the world capable of
barring the road to socialism
(communism)," his blueprint
adds.
Khrushchev pictures the
capitalistic world as crisis
ridden and tottering, await
ing the "coup de grace" which
Russia backed by other Com
munist countries is determined
to administer.
Foments Unrest
The blueprint reveals a
two-pronged strategy to bring
about the collapse of the West
and Russo - Communist vic
tory: a systematic undermin
ing of the capitalist nations
from within tnrougn propa
ganda and "front" alignments,
and from without through the
fanning and support of anti-
Western revoltulonary move
ments in Africa, Latin Amer
ica and Asia. ;
No major war is needed to
achieve such victory, Khru
shchev has told his party
functionaries.
An up-to-date clue to Khru
shchev's thinking, and proof
that the basic Soviet goal of
triumph over the capitalistic
world remains unchanged,
was contained in the Soviet
leader's Jan. 6 statement to
Marxist scholars. In it he
stressed: , ,
'Communists are- revolu
tionaries and it would be a
bad thing If they failed to spot
new opportunities arising to
find new ways and means
leading most surely to the
realization of their set goals."
By whatever means the
struKSlo Is fought-by hot war
or cold -the stakes are the
same: a Communist dominat
ed world, or a free world.

Relations With Red
Bloc Nations First
Obstacle, JFK Says
(Kditor's note: The following
article discusses President Ken
nedy's views relating to Commu
nism's ambition or world domi
nation. It was furnished by the
Foreign Policy association
World Affairs Center, New York.)
U. S. relations with the
Communist bloc, according to
President Kennedy, are "the
first great obstacle" to Amer
ica's other business and pur
poses in the world.
Neither the Soviet Union
nor Red China, the President
declared in his State of the
Union message, "has yielded
its ambition for world domi
nation." Just three weeks earlier,
Soviet Premier Nikita S.
Khrushchev made these ambi
tions clear. He reviewed for a
meeting of Soviet theorists
the conclusions reached by
representatives of eighty-one
of the world's eighty -seven
Communist parties, who had
met secludedly in Moscow
during November - December
1960.
Communist leaders have
. . set our watches so that
our mighty armies will keep,
in step and march confident
ly . . ." toward the goal of
raising the Red flag over all
the globe, Khrushchev said.
The goal will be achieved,
Khrushchev boasted, either
peacefully and by parliamen
tary action, or "If tne ruling
classes resist," through vio
lence and civil war.
Chief Obstacle
The United States, Khru
shchev implied, is the chief
obstacle to Communist world
ambitions; it is "the enemy of
the peoples of the world."
While violence and civil
war may be necessary, Khru
shchev made it clear that the
Communist leaders prefer
peaceful surrender of non-
Communists. Khrushchev not
ed the danger that "small" or
"local wars" can "develop
into a world thermonuclear
rocket war."
He also noted, however, that
there will be "liberation wars
as long as imperialism exists,
as long as colonialism exists."
"Communists support such
just wars fully and without
reservation and march in the
van of the people fighting for
liberation," he declared.
Reserves Right
In other words, Communist
leadership reserves the right
to use whatever tools may be
necessary to win world domi
nation. They hope to avoid nu
clear war. They are willing to
fight any "local" war which
will promote communism. But
they prefer to win by "intense
economic, political and ideo
logical struggle."
According to the Premier,
communism's economic sys
tem eventually will outpro
duce the West and then "even

the most inveterate skeptics
. . . . will make their choice
in favor of socialism (i. e: com
munism)." The Kennedy administra
tion has stated its intention
to stop the Communist ad
v a n c e. President Kennedy
said in his State of the Union
message: ". . . our task is to
convince them (the Commu
nists) that aggression and sub
version will not be profitable
routes to pursue..." their ends,
Peaceful Competition
The President has called for
"open and peaceful competi
tion." He believes that if free
dom and communism compete
in a peaceful world ". . . for
prestige, for markets, for sci
entific achievement, even for
men's minds . . ." then we
could ". . . look to the future
with ever increasing confi
dence." In his State of the Union ad
dress, President Kennedy out
lined steps the U.S. must take
to meet the challenge. He
asked first for a strengthened
military force "so powerful as
to make any aggression clear
ly futile."
He has asked the Secretary
of Defense to reappraise U.S
military system and submit
recommendations by the end
of February. Meanwhile, he
has taken such short-term
steps as directing Increase in
U.S. airlift capacity, stepping
up our Polaris submarine pro
gram and accelerating our
missile development.
Secondly, President Ken
nedy asked for a strengthen
ing of. our "economic tools.
He called for a "new and more
effective program" for "eco
nomic, educational and social
development of other coun
tries and continents.
Better Policy Coordination
Such a program should be
undertaken with better policy
coordination, more flexibility.
commitment to long-term de
velopment and attention to
education and social justice.
It should be understaken with
the cooperation of our allies,
and greater emphasis will be
put on the roll of the recipient
nation.
He asked also for a closer
economic agreement with our
European allies and a new
alliance for progress with
our sister republics of Latin
America.
Thirdly, the President said
that we must improve our dip
lomatic and political imple
ments. A new attempt is to be
made at disarmament. The
U.S. will Increase its support
of the UN to make this body
into more of a peacemaking
organization.
Explore All Areas
And, finally, the Kennedy
administration intends to ex
plore "all possible areas of
cooperation" with the Soviet
Union and other countries in
the area of science. In demon
strating that beneficial rela
tions are possible, Kennedy
stated, we shall lay the basis
for world peace and world
law.
This, then, is the confron
tation that must be resolved.
The Communists desire world
domination, while the West
visualizes a world community
of independent nations under
These two goals obviously
are incompatible. The chal
lenge to the U.S. is to achieve
one while preventing the oth
erand to do so peacefully,
if possible. -
