Ularx Columns Hurl Bitter
Charges Against Russians
MedfordATribune
By CLAIRE COX
United Prest International
New York -ilTO- A barrage
o bitter charges is being
hurled against the Russians
by one of the world's most
famous men.
He brands the Russians a
"barbarous race" and he
labels their participation in
international diplomatic nego
tiations a mockery.
"Russia only throws out so
many notes to the western dip
lomats, like bones to dogs, in
order to set them at an in
nocent amusement, while she
reaps the advantage of furth
er gaining time." he charges
in a book due for publication
May 1.
There are other denuncia
tions, among them:
-". . . Having come thus far
on the way to universal em
pire, is it probable that this
gigantic and swollen power
will pause in its career?"
One Way To Deal
-"There is only one way
to deal with a power like
Russia, and that is the fear
less way."
What westerner is this
speaking out against Russia?
Is it a secretary of state, a
president, a foreign minister
or an ambassador?
The by-line on this book is
a name known around the
world and is either hated or
loved by many. Ironically, it
is most revered in the area
most castieated by the auth
or's charges.
The book is the work of
none other than the patron
saint of Communism, the
author of the "bible" of the
Communist world-Karl Marx.
In Critical Yean
German - born Marx, who
lived much of his life in Lon
don, wrote his charges more
than a century ago during the
critical years of the Crimean
War, which saw the world
torn between East and West.
His comments were published
in the New York Daily Trib
une, for which he was a regu
lar writer on world affairs.
An impoverished man,
Marx existed for a time al
most entirely on the pay he
received from the American
newspaper. He wrote his
Communist Manifesto largely
in the British museum, at a
desk so high he was required
to stand. The Manifesto has
become the handbook of
Soviet Communism despite
the fact that Marx clearly did
not like or trust the Russians.
Columns written by Marx
between 1853 and 1856 are
being published in book form
in this country for the first
lime under the title of "Marx
vs. Russia."
Regarded Al Bully
Marx regarded Russia as a
bully, declaring: "The bully
ing system is much less ex
pensive than actual warfare."
Later he says: "Counting on
the cowardice and apprehen
sions of the Western powers,
he (Russia) bullies Europe,
and pushes his demands as
far as possible, in order to
appear magnanimous after
wards, by contenting himself
with what he immediately
wanted."
J. A. Doerig. a Swiss his
torian who compiled and
edited this Marxian volume,
says the international politi
cal situation at the time these
charges were written was
strikingly similar to that of
today.
"At that time, just as now,
there was friction between
East and West." Doerig wrote,
"A universal tension that had
actually been seething be
neath the surface for cen
turies. Then, as now, it was a
question of holding the Rus
sian thrust to the West in
check.
Significant Factor
". . . The significant and
crucial factor is Russia's age
long drive westward, a drive
that is perfectly understand
able from the Russian point of
view."
It is true. Doerig says, that
the form of government, con
stitution and social structure
in Russia today is different
than a century ago. when the
Czarist system prevailed. The
focuses of discord were in
Constantinople (now Ankara),
Crimea and what now are
the Balkan states; today they
are in Berlin. East Germany
and the satellite states. But
the basic problem of Russian
expansionism remains.
The Marx articles were
selected. Doerig says, in an
effort to stress a fundamental
appreciation of an aee old j
antithesis between East and
West.
Enhances Value
"That Karl Marx, whom
Ihe Communist bosses have
lone since endowed with the
mantle of infallibility, should
acree so closely in his assess
ment of these facts with such
eminent political thinkers as
the French Liberal. Alexis de
Toqucvillo 1 1805 1H59) and
the Spanifh Conservative.
J u ,i n Francisco Donoso-Cortrs
'18011 - 1853). not only en-,
hances the value of this theses ,
on Russia but also rectifies j
the image of Marx that the j
Kremlin - not without con- j
sirirrahle success - hns insinu
ated before the world." Doer

10 years after meeting its
managing editor, Charles A.
Dana in Europe. Friedrich

admired by the Communists,
I was nis close inend and coi
j laborator.
I Throughout these pieces.
Marx displayed a distrust of
Russia as a threat to liberty
in the West.
Natural Frontier
"It would appear," he wrote
on April 12. 1853, "that the
natural frontier of Russia
runs from Dantzic. or
perhaps Stettin, to Trieste.
And as sure as conquest fol
lows conquest, and annexa
tion follows annexation, so
sure would the conquest of
Turkey by Russia be only the
prelude for the annexation of
Hungary, Prussia. Galicia,
and for the ultimate realiza
tion of the Slavonic empire
which certain fanatical pan
Slavistic philosophers have
dreamed of."
Hans Kohn, an American
historian, in an "afterword"
to the volume of Marx's writ
ings, points out Russia is mak
ing the same kinds of claims
today in the greatly magni
fied tug-of-war between East
and West. He wonders what
Marx would have thought of
Russia under Lenin, Stalin
and Khrushchev, and con
cludes that while it would be
impossible to say with any de
gree of certainty, the follow
ing must be considered:
"Many European Liberals
greeted Lenin's conquest of
power hopefully, seeing in it
a complete break with the

autocracy, the foreign policy
and the dogmatic orthodoxy
of Czarist Russia. But it
should be pointed out that
some of the most respected
and dedicated disciples and
followers of Karl Marx
thought otherwise.
". . . Some of the funda
mental methods of domestic
and foreign policy which
Marx castigated :,n (Czar)
Nicolai's Russia were con
tinued in Lenin's and Stalin's
Russia."
