Geneva Spirit
And The Reds
IT WOULD BE difficult to disagre
with those observers who belies
that the widely heralded "Genev
spirit" is dead or dying, and that th
responsibility lies with the Kremli
The facade of smiling good wi
which Russians presented at the Bi
Four "summit" meeting in Genev
last Summer is being revealed f
what it was-a false front.
It is only necessary to look closel
at recent events in Indonesia Moro
co, Algeria, and Egypt for p o
Communist conduct in those are
outstretched hands of Russian dip]
at embassy social affairs througho
the world.
And if there be reluctance to b
lieve the evidence we can see of Ru
sian duplicity, we have only to liste
to what Nikita Khrushchev, Sovi
Communist Party boss, said recent]
munists. "He ' remarked that if anyo
believes that Russian smiles invol
abandonment of t h e teaching
Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin,
deceives himself poorly." Those w
wait for that, he said, must wa
until a shrimp "learns to whistle."

COMMENTING on Khrushchev
., orris Allen ANT Dnllee rdirectr

lliR
of-- the U.. S. Central Inte
Agency, had is to say: There
no hard evidence as yet, which we
intelligence or law-enforcing office
can accept, that the dangers we fa
from the secret underground subve
ceased. Let us hope it does. Let
hope that Khrushchev hears t
shrill call of the shrimp."
CPYRGHT
We don't know anything about the
vocal accomplishments of shrimp
whether they whistle or call or are
incapable of doing either. And we
don't intend to spend any time listen-
ing either. Khrushchev's words are
sufficient proof that there has been
no change of basic policy on the part
of the Kremlin. It is still, following
the line laid down by Marx and Lenin
that a clash between Communism
and capitalism is inevitable, and that
as far as the Communists are con-
cerned it will be, and is, a no-holds-
barred affair.

Egypt's announcement of a deal to
buy arms behind the Iron Curtain is
further evidence of Communist trou
ble-making which weakens the West's
efforts to resolve the Arab-Jewish
dispute. The quarrel between Egypt
and Israel has appeared
irreconcil-able, and the arms purchase wit
throw more fuel on the -fire. Israel
-must perforce turn to the W
`attempt to balance Egypt's armed
strength. That will touch off an al
mament race, and more bloodshed
between the two nations-a situation.
!which the Communists will be ready
!to exploit to their own ends.
All in all there appears to be little
reason to believe that the "Geneva
