THIS WEEK
—In Washington
With
Clinton Davidson
Confidential re-
ports reaching Wash-
ington from behind
the Iron Curtain indi-
cate a major shift in
Russian plans and explain, in part
at least, why Nikita Khrushchev
seized one-man control in the
Kremlin.
It is no secret in Washington that
Khrushchev is in serious trouble at
home and that his hold over the
Russian satellite nations is none too
firm. He needs a dramatic change in
both internal and foreign policies to
stay in power.
Within the Soviet orbit he plans
to ease off on huge expenditures for
military weapons, increase produc-
tion of consumer goods, and moke
an all-out effort to expand farm
production. That is a 5- to 10-year
program.
Khrushchev, in full control of
Russian foreign affairs, is waging a
new peace offensive to give him
time to strengthen his position as
boss of Russia and her satellites. He
wants time, too, to make greater
use of propaganda and economic
aggression against the West.
The Soviet ruler is believed to have
become convinced that Russia could
not win an atomic and hydrogen
bomb war, at least not without
suffering losses which would destroy
him. He seems, instead, to be follow-
ing the teachings of Marx and Lenin
in waging an economic and propa-
ganda war against capitalism.
Washington has a sincere respect
for the effectiveness of Russian prop-
aganda among the vast numbers of
people who know or have known
exploitation by Western capitalistic
nations. The Soviets are making
“capitalism” a nasty word through-
out Asia and Africa.
Washington officials ore not taking
the new Russian threat lightly. Al-
though fearing , drop their military
guard, they dare not ignore the
propaganda and economic challenge.
Portions of a confidential study of
Soviet economic plans and activities,
made by the International Coopera-
tion Administration, have been made
available to us. It reveals that during
1957 Russia signed agreements to
provide SI.9 billion additional as-
sistance to non-communist nations.
This revelation is being used to
spur Congress into greater speed in
okaying the Administration request
for an additional S3.9 billion in
foreign aid funds for the next fiscal
year.
The report shows that Soviet trade
expansion and economic aid is being
concentrated in six countries where
Western influence is weakest. India,
Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Indonesia,
Egypt and Syria have received 95%
of Russian economic assistance.
There is no question here of
Russia’s ability to wage economic
warfare on a broad scale over a long
period of time. Russian economic
progress, measured in percentage
gain in industrial output, has far
out-stripped the U. S. since the end
of World War II.
The rate of Russian economic
progress, if continued, would bring
the Soviet Bloc’s gross national
product up to the present U. S. total
in another M) to 12 years. And,
Russian plans are being laid for a
long economic war.
The Soviet rulers reason that the
subjected peoples under their domi-
nation will continue to make sacrifices
in living standards that would, if
attempted in this country, create
havoc. They reason, also, that Russia
has or will have at her command
resources at least equal and probably
superior to the United States for
the long economic struggle between
the East and the West.
