The
Cheddi Jagan, newly elected prime min
ister of British Guiana, entertains Americans
these days with some quite fantastic notions
about the Soviet Union and its European Satel
lites. Jagan, a dedicated Marxist intellectual
Who says now he is not a Communist, is a
strangely tantalizing figure. Charming,, ar
ticulate, well versed in American and other
history, he has the major attributes of an at
tractive political personality.
But when he is pressed by curious United
Slates newsmen to apply his obviously sharp
intelligence to the nature and workings of
Soviet communism, he suddenly pleads lack
of information, or stresses limited aspects
of the situation.
He made plain, for instance, that he con
sidered traditional imperialist colonialism to
mean holding subject territories in a kind of
bondage which prevents their industrializa
tion, keeps them primitively agricultural, ex
tracts their raw materials and siphons off
their capital.
Aware of Western charges that Moscow's
satellites are in truth Soviet colonies, Jagan
questions the idea on this main ground:
' Most of the captive East European lands
have enjoyed substantial industrial advances
since World War II. This being so, they can- (
not be "colonies" as he understands the term.

the UN an outcome obtained by a "pack

But, this process, long familiar in the
back-scratching, log-rolling practices of na
tional Legislatures, had, in this case, an un
usual chain of causes and potential conse

to qualify Peking as the rightful representa

Weeks later, another arrived.

nothing I could do, because I

nations, tiny Estonia, which has since 1944
been incorporated in the Soviet Union itself.
A survey just released by Estonian exiles
in the United States shows that from 1939 to
1959 the little country shifted from a 60-40
agriculture-industry ratio to an 80-20 industry
agriculture setup. By 1959, too, combined
farm and factory production had climbed to
two and a half times the 1939 level.
Yet, as this change and expansion oc
curred, who benefited?
Certainly not the poor Estonian, whom
Jagan would publicly presume to be the gain
er from "industrial advances." For in 1959 the
real purchasing power of Estonian wage and
salary earners was less than half what it was
in 1939.
The explanation, of course, is that Russia
has systematically sucked Estonia dry for
more than 15 years, diverting huge amounts
of the country's output to Russia's own needs
as an aggressive world power.
It is well known that this ruthless exploi
tation has been pursued in every Soviet satel
lite. ,
Estonia is just one small, glazed tile in
the vast Soviet mosaic.
Alert, inquiring free men have long since
detected the sinister colonial pattern in that
mosaic.

he really wants to look.

Mauritania unless Mongolia was admitted.
This danger persuaded Nationalist China
to rerain from vetoing Outer Mongolia's ap
plication in the Security Council. The Formosa
regime still maintains that the Mongol state
(at present largely dominated by Moscow) is
an integral part of China. Morocco makes
the same claim regarding Mauritania. UN
membership may give both states more chance
to develop a larger measure of independence. .
No one should blink at the fact that Out
er Mongolia represents another Communist
vote in the Assembly. Yet the West may find
some compensations if the Mongolians' report
ed desire for contacts with the outside world
is confirmed and their country becomes a stra
tegic "listening post" in central Asia.

A Birthday, But Not
' (From The Chlco, Calif.,
' Enterprise-Record)
Today is United Nations Day.
It is a day set aside for com
memoration of the 16th anniver
sary of the peace organization es
tablished under hopeful conditions
in 1945 as the world was still reel
ing from the disasters of the
bloodiest war in world history.
It is the desire of United Na
tions Day committees throughout
the nation and the world to use
the occasion of today's observance
to laud the U.N. and sing t h e
praises of its accomplishments and
its hope for the future.
That would be the easiest way
to celebrate the day, of course.
Delving into clipping files to bring
forth praiseworthy platitudes of
past years would be a simple job
and would satisfy those who are
continuing to blow loud the horn
of the performances and promises
of Uie United Nations.
But, for our money. Uiat easy
way would not exactly be the hon
est way.
In our opinion, the time for plat
itudes is past.
In our opinion, the time for re
alistic appraisal has arrived. The
time has come for the United
States of America and all other
nations and people truly interested
in real world peace and progress
to take off their rose-colored
glasses and start looking at the
real picture.
There is no question that the
U.N. the moment stands as
the world's best hope for peace
with honor.
But it is only sensible to admit
that, even so, it stands as a very
sorry and unpromising hope.
We maintain that the real flaw
in tho U.N. picture dates back to
its birth in San Francisco at the
end of World War II.
That flaw was the starry-eyed
supposition held by this country
and most of the others in t h e
world that Russia was going to
be a responsible member of the
community of nations and was
going to bo genuinely interested in
world peace.
But long ago that supposition
proved to be a gigantic fantasy of
illusion. Long ago it was clearly
evident to all but the blindest of

observers that the Russian view
of the U.N. was the same as
the Russian view of everything
else in the world today: Its value
as another instrument in tune
with the Russian plan for world
conquest.
As such, the United Nations has
been reduced to nothing more
than just another launching plat
form for Red propaganda . . .
and a sounding board and market
ing place for shifty "neutrals" to
put on their beggar act for just
a few more millions in Western
aid before blowing the horn again
for the Red cause.
A recent example of this sort
of attitude and action was the
over - dramatic and practically
unanimous blasting of little South
Africa over its policies of sup
pression against coloreds. Though
the volume of the anti-South Afri
ca outcry was great, it was hol
low indeed when matched against
the great silence of the U.N. in
failing to take any similar ac
tion against the Soviet Union,
which self-admittedly is holding
millions of East European and
Asian peoples in bloody chains.
But that is Hie function of the
double standard in the operation
al procedures of the U.N. And
the inherent use of the double
standard is, Ve maintain, the
chief example of the self-defeating
nature of the U.N. as an effec
tive peace organization.
Discussion of similar and relat
ed philosophical and moral flaws
in the U.N. structure could be
extended to cover this page. But
no worthwhile purpose would be
served. Suffice it to say that the
U.N. today stands as an organi
zation designed to deal with phil
osophical and moral problems, but
entirely lacking in philosophical
and moral principle.
These flaws w ould not. of course,
in themselves bring about a col
lapse of the U.N. in a short pe
riod. On the contrary, they pos
sibly would contribute to its lon
gevity by way of setting up end
less rounds of argument on point
less and meaningless issues with
high-sounding titles. That could go
on for years and years, with the
Reds continuing to eat away.

enf is suffering a severe loss of
blood which very possibly could
prove fatal in a relatively short .
period.
That ailment lies not in the
philosophical nor moral realms
but in that most realistic and
hard-nosed realm of all: the realm
of economics, the realm of the
hard dollar.
As such, the last day of this
month one week from today's ob
servance of United Nations Day
may add up to Die key crisis.
Summed up, the situation is:
If the member, countries by then
do not come up with a plan to pro
vide the means of support for the
U.N.'s emergency military efforts
in the Congo and the Middle East,
then the agency will more rapidly
proceed along its route of becom
ing a mere debating society.
Oct. 31 is the expiration date
for the authority granted the la'e
Secretary - General Hammars
kjold to shift other U.N. funds to
support of its field force opera
tions. This power was the frail
bone that enabled the U.N. under .
Hammarskjold's guidance to be
come an active, armed presence
in key world trouble spots.
Either that authority must be
extended, or else those members
of the U.N. who are delinquent in
their payments must make good
the $41 million they owe to the
Congo and Middle East special
accounts for the 1958-60 period.
In the case of the Congo, for
' example, only 26 of the 100 U.N.
members have paid anything at
al (some of them as little as
$50,000).
The big delinquent, of course,
has been Russia, which owes the
two funds $30 million.
The big sucker, of course, has
been the U.S. taxpayer, who has
been forced to carry the multiple
load of all the dead-beat countries
of the world.
The Communist behavior here is
in keeping with the general Red
plan to starve the U.N.'s peace
making efforts financially, and
thus fiiminate the U.N. as an
actual or potential presence stand
ing in the way of Red aggression.
As such, the U.N. (aces what
could be a fatal crisis next week.
Will the hard dollars be forth
coming, or will the fund-shifting
authority be extended, or will the
United States taxpayer be called
upon again to bail out the weak
ened and ineffective U.N.?
Tlie free riders have been doing
all the talking in the U.N.
Talk is cheap. But it doesn't
- stop aggression or bring peace. It
appears that shortly we may find
out whether the talkers are go
ing to put their dollars alongside
their words and give the U.N. a
chance to become something bet
ter than it has been, or whether
they are going to let it die on
the vine.
That is the situation on this day
of Oct. 24. 1961, United Nations
Day.
The United Nations is weak and
troubled and is growing more so
day by day. Major changes for
the good will have to be wrought
before any honest words of praise
and optimism can be voiced re
garding its chances to bring abot
world peace with honor.

WASHINGTON (NEA) Visit

Jagan of British Guiana is giv
ing the U.S. Government and its
high officials the jitters.
They're not sure what to do
about him.
For one thing, top administra

themselves off a hook.
They're trying to think of some
way to call Cheddi. Jagan offi
cially "not a Communist" so they
can give his government U.S.
aid help in his five-year plan
and in a series of agricultural
and industrial ventures he 'S
promoting.
They're embarrassed in this
attempt by an official State De
partment ruling laid down some
time ago that anyone belonging .
to the British Guiana People's
Progressive party will not even
be allowed to visit the United
States because the party is Communist-dominated.
Jagan is the
head of the People's Progressive
party.
There was no trouble letting
Jagan into the U.S. As a pre
mier, he has diplomatic privileges.
A waiver had to be issued to
let in some of his aides. But
it is downright difficult for of
ficials to figure out som'e way
to call Jagan a non-Communist.
Jagan calls himself a Marxist.
The British once jailed him for
attempting to set up a Commu
nist government in Guiana. His
wife Janet was once a member
of the Young Communist League
in Chicago.
Jagan and his wife and asso
ciates have set up a series of
Communist-associated youth and
women's groups in Guiana.
His party paper follows the Mos
cow line word for word. Like
Castro, he once attempted to set
up "people's courts" and
"people's police."

Q How does a person go about

He has confidence in his doc

Don't you think your husband
has enough sense to change doc
tors or request a consultation if
he thinks either step necessary?
And don't you think a doctor you
classify as "good" has the intelli

welcome a consultation that might
prove in the best interests both of
the patient and himself?

a Communist earlier this year.
To get itself off the hook,
Lhe State Department is working
on a new definition of "Commu
nist." It's a man the U.S. gov
ernment can prove is subject to
the orders and the discipline of
the international Communist
movement.
The theory now is that the
U.S. cannot absolutely "prove,"
that Jagan takes orders and is
subject to discipline. Some peo
ple hold that maybe he's just
fuzzy-headed.
Therefore, the talk runs, Jagan
can be officially called not a
Communist.
If this seems a little compli
cated, consider the problem the
U.S. government now faces visa-vis
Jagan.
Some key government officials
have about sold the administra
tion on the idea that aid and
friendship must be proffered to
Jagan and his government.
These men reason that if the
U.S. doesn't give aid to Jagan
he assuredly will turn to the
Soviet Union and absolutely take
his government down the road
to complete communism.
They hold that there is i
possibility a slight one to be
sure, but still a possibility
that if the U.S. does proffer
Jagan a little aid and friendship
that maybe he will keep his
country neutral and not allow
Castro or Khrushchev to set up
a strong base there.
The situation is much the same
as it was in Yugoslavia a num
ber of years ago. It was argued
then that aid might keep tho
Yugoslavs out of the Moscow
circle, even if they were avowed
Reds.
Since then, over $2 billion have
been put into Yugoslavia. The
Yugoslavs come to Khrushchev's
aid when the chips are down.
The men who believe the Ja
gan loan is worth the gamble
know of this Yugoslav failure.
They admit the risk is not good.
They hold the U.S. has nothing
to lose.
