Indonesia Reverts to "Confrontation" on Malaysia
Indonesian President Sukarno's 10 July statement heralded a
return to his "confrontation" policy on the formation of the Fed-
eration of Malaysia, which is due to become formal on 31 August.
It was widely assumed that his renunciation of that policy after
the Manila foreign ministers' conference was only a tactical
maneuver and that he would continue covert action to cause the
Federation's downfall if he could not prevent a s formation.
Sukarno's real objection is that he sees the proposed federation
as an obstacle to his own expansionist ambitions in Southeast Asia.
In what appears to be a deliberate misunderstanding of. the position
agreed to in Manila by the Malayan, Indonesian and Philippine
foreign ministers, Sukarno claims that the signing of the Malaysian
agreement in London violated Malaya's pledge not to take further
steps without prior consultation. After a series of conflicting
reports as to his attendance, Sukarno went to the 30 July "summit"
meeting in Manila with Rahman and Macapagal. His main tactic pre-
sumably will be to continue to harp on the Borneo-referendum issue
and to plug for a longer-range confederation of the area to in-
clude Indonesia.
US policy is to support, with some qualifications, the forma-
tion of Malaysia as an expression of the will of the Malayan,
Singapore and Borneo peoples for voluntary association into a unit
that best corresponds to the legitimate self interests of inde-
pendent countries., Where appropriate, we preempt Indonesian and
Communist efforts to stigmatize the federation as "neo-colonialist"
and as a means for continuing Western influence. We point out
that a common and more dangerous enemy -- Communist China -- is
lurking in the background ready to take advantage of any confusion
or ill-will that is brought about by prolonged disputes over the
Jorm that Malaysia should take or over the ultimate disposition of
the British Borneo territories.
We also mention that Sukarno is using this issue to distract
the attention of his own people from the serious internal short-
comings of his own regime, particularly economic and social stag-
nation. We further mention that when Sukarno finds himself com-
pelled to think about popular referendums, he should confine him-
self first to West New Guinea, where he is showing signs of
reneging on his commitment to allow the inhabitants there to
determine whether they prefer to sever their ties with Indonesia

Commentary
9-22 July 1963
Principal Developments:
1. The CPSU--CCP party talks continued in complete secrecy
frorn July 5 to 20, -- with a day of recess following each session,
presumably to permit the Chinese to consult with Peking. The
CPSU Presidium, headed by I.hrushchev, entertained the delegates
at a banquet "in a friendly atmosphere" on the 20th. A brief
joint communique was issued on the 21st: it stated only that both
sides had set forth their views and agreed, on the initiative
of the Chinese, to adjourn until some time later, the place and
time to be agreed on through consultations. Mao himself, in one
of his increasingly rare public appearances, headed the
"tremendous welcome" to the Chinese delegates in ;Peking.
2. In sharp contrast to this ostensibly friendly stalemate
in forsial relations between the principal adversaries, political
propaganda warfare raged throughout the Communist world with
increased acrimony and hostility. The USSR and China were
increasingly treating each other as outright enemies in a series
of sharp pronouncements, featured by a hard-hitting, 22,300-word
CPSU "open letter" of 14 July in response to the CCP letter of
14 June. On the Chinese side, a Peking rally of 10,000 welcoming
their delegates back from their unsuccessful challenge to Soviet
domination of the Woaen's Congress in Moscow heard the delegation
praised for the struggle it waged "against the enemy."
3. The publication by the CPSU of their 14 July letter
(together with -- at last -- the 14 June CCP letter to which
it responded) was the signal for a wave of attacks on the Chinese
positions by the Soviet European satellites, which published
both documents with editorials and statements supporting the
CPSU and condemning the CCP.
4. The Rumanians, however, further demonstrated their
independence by publishing both letters but refraining from
comment; boss Gheorgiu-Dej agreed to participate in the Moscow
CIMA meeting mentioned below, but the Rumanian CP publicly
condemned CEMA policy toward Rumania through an authoritative
spokesman to a Western correspondent. Balancing this, the
party published two pamphlets in support of peaceful coexistence
and disarmawient.
5. The Chinese were not noticeably shaken by the new
Soviet-led European offensive, reacting immediately to the CPSU
letter in a rather condescending manner, forecasting a massive
counter-attack in good time. ~C

6. The Czech Government also "transferred the ideological
dispute to the sphere of state relations" by demanding on 3 July
the recall by China of 3 NCNA correspondents,accredited to
i?rague, for illegal and harmful distribution of Chinese polemics,
thus following the lead of the Soviet recall order of 27 June.
The Chinese strongly protested this "serious incident, under-
minin the unity between the Chinese and Czechoslovak peoples
and aggravating Sino-Czech relations."
7. The increased temper and scale of the warfare between
parties in recent weeks has further intensified dissension
within parties and front organizations throughout the world.
3. The visit of Belgian Foreign Minister Spaak with
Xhrushchev in Kiev and the auspicious convening of the three-
power test-ban talks in Moscow while the CPSU-CC? talks were
in progress were non-Communist activities which infuriated the
Chinese and were shrilly denounced by them, Khrushchev's
announcement of his planned August visit to Yugoslavia was also
a direct affront to Peking.
0. A Soviet plane crash in IrkutsLL on 13 July killed the Al-
banian Ambassador to Pelting and six other Albanians, plus a CPR
official from their Afghanistan Embassy ano two Cninese couriers.
Significance:
"U n i t y" is such a dominating concept throughout the
history of all Communist (and socialist) Movements, that the CC?
and CPSU, despite the rapid deterioration of their relations
and the increasingly open and spiteful hostility between theta
and their followers, still managed to avoid the onus of an
open break and "saved face" by the transparent device of
"adjourning" the Moscow talks for an indefinite period, subject
to uncertain future agreements between the two Central Committees.
The 14 July CPSU open letter has ushered in a dew phase of
the conflict. It is the first really hard-hitting, counter-
it-tacking ?PSU document, presumably indicative of the fact that
the Soviet leadership stung to the quick by the overweening
arrogance and poisonous enmity of the CCi? attacks -- has decided
that any hope for a cessation of public polemics was dead and that
the time for counter-attack had come. Moreover, it largely abandons
the sterile attempt to answer Peking's casuistry by s h i f t i n g

exegesis to a rather forceful exposition of the real issues of

July99 - Pravda carried a 700-word CPSU statement which denounced
tie'7Julyira.'lly in Peking applauding the five Chinese expelled
from the USSR for "illegal" dissemination of the 14 June CCP
letter: It "cannot be assessed as other than a desire /a delib-
erate campaign7 to kindle in the fraternal Chinese people senti-
ments and moons unfriendly to the Soviet Union, to aggravate the
situation in the course of the negotiations .... disregarding the
dangerous consequences of this policy."
July 99 and 16 - The Yugoslav agency Tanyug reported from Bucharest
the publication of two Rumanian booklets supporting Soviet foreign
policy lines. The first, on 9 July, entitled Peaceful Coexistent
contains "an objective criticism of dogmatic tendenc? es in the
international workers movement," and "speaks of the absurdity of
the theory of the export of revolution and defends current
principles that peaceful coexistence and disarmament facilitate
the national liberation process. The secon , on t He 16t , is
devoted to the Moscow tripartite test-ban negotiations "unequivo-
cally underlining Rumania's dedication to the idea of general
disarmament" and "welcomes and defends Soviet initiatives" in
nuclear test ban negotiations.
July 10 - All Peking papers gave front-page prominence to a 1200-
word 10 July CCP statement in reply to the 9 July CPSU statement
described above, and print the latter at the bottom. The Chinese
complain that the CPSU accusation "is totally unjustified," and
ask if it is not "in itself a slander against the CCP to refuse
to let people know what our letter of reply actually said, while
at the same time profusely attacking the letter as a 'slander'
against the CPSU and raising a colossal uproar?" Noting that the
CPSU has not only extended ideological differences to the sphere
of state relations but "is also whipping up a campaign against
the CCP all over the Soviet Union," the Chinese ask "how far are
the comrades of the CPSU prepared to extend the Sino 'Soviet cam-
erences The Chinese press also printed an NCNA Moscow spatch
reporting "the campaign whipped up by the CC/CPSU through meetings
and resolutions of Soviet party organizations at various levels,"
and another dispatch rounding up the editorials of principal
Soviet papers attacking the CCP.
Jul 10 - Both the Chinese and the Albanians used the occasion of
Albanian Army Day to emphasize their ideological solidarity
against the modern revisionists.
July 10 - A Hungarian Party and Government delegation headed by
Kadar arrived in Moscow for a visit which observers saw timed to
demonstrate East European solidarity with the CPSU and USSR.
Kadar warmly greeted by Khrushchev, in contrast to his ignoring
the Chinese delegation.

included in his speech the charge that: "certain self-
styled Marxist-Leninists have applauded Kennedy's so-called peace

its ringleader, Kennedy. They are deliberately deceiving the
people to serve the needs of US imperialist schemes of aggression."

serious in nature," and complained that "to describe them as beini?
between the CCP on one hand and the whole international Communist
moves .ent on the other is not in accord with the facts and not
helpful to the elimination of the eences."' De : ite the
"distressing" Soviet actions on the eve of the talks, the Chinese
"refrained from taking measures corresponding" and sent their
delegation to the talks. "But we now have to point out with heavy
hearts that events have gone contrary to our hopes." Seeing the
Soviet actions, "people are fully justified in worrying whether
the CC/CPSU wants to push Sino-Soviet relations to the brink of
and s r:ossib e o
rupture.... Ideas cannot be blockaded
resolve ideological differences by dictates or commands....
There were many people who committed such follies in the past,
and they all failed." But the differences will be resolved, they
say, "if one really treats the other as an equal instead of trying
to impose on him. If the differences cannot be resolved today,
they can wait until tomorrow. If they cannot be resolved this
year, they can wait until next year."
July 14 - Peoples' Daily carried an "Observer" article complaining
rly about forts to "woo the Soviet Union to oppose
China, and to pctson Sino-Soviet rela ons. a article accuses
"US imperialism" of "deliberately misrepresenting the revolution-
ary viewpoints of the CCP, alleging that China 'stands opposed to
peaceful coexistence,' 'is warlike,' and 'advocates the export of
revolution,t" (but this is exactly what is done by the CPSU in
their letter published simultaneously, -- see below).

scrutiny of the talks states at, according to the Foreign Office,
there are 88 Communist parties in the world, of which 22 are pro-
Soviet, 6 are pro-Chinese, "and the rest are mostly adopting the
attitude of neutral opportunists. The Foreign Office says, how-
ever, that there are some so-called neutral parties which are
leaning toward Communist China, such as those in Japan and Rumania.
Therefore, the Foreign Office is noting the fact that a certain
Communist Chinese leader said that 'half of the world's Communist
parties are supporting Communist China."

the full text but only excerpts of the CCP letter. (The
Peking press reported the above information on the 17th but did
not report the substance of the CPSU letter.) Continuing to be
"different," the Rumanians followed later, publishing both letters
in their organ Scinteia in two installments, half on the 17th and
half on the 16th. All Mongolian newspapers published the text of
the CPSU letter (but apparently not the CCP) on 19 July.
July 15 - A 1200-word "Observer" article in Peoples' Daily bitterly
a ac ked "the Tito group" for "frenziedly fannih /ie flames,
poisoning Sino-Soviet relations, disrupting the unity between China

ment, and peddling its notorious modern revisionist goods."
July 15 - Pravda featured a 2500-word editorial on the CpSU "open
letter," staa$ ng that the letter was published (on the preceding
day) "in connection with the inimical actions of the CCP leaders,

pret ton of the motives which prompted us temporarily to retain

to be weakness, the Chinese comrades began to present our desire
to avoid exacerbating the controversy almost as an btention to
'conceal' from Soviet Communists and the Soviet people the views
of the Chinese leaders." It goes on to accuse the Chinese of
"putting forth and upholding special positions on racial questions
of the present day." The balance of e editorial consists o a

ex s of both letters with a 900-word editoriaal which condemns
the Chinese for "seeking further to sharpen these differences, so
that, arbitrarily interpreting distortin and falsifying the
Jointly scusse and universally accepted ne of communist and

which have been refuted by both history an the present reality,

Communists fully agree with the CPSU CC's letter."
July - All Sofia newspapers carried editorials stressing the
mpor ance of the CPSU letter. The Party organ Rabotnichesko Delo
asserted that "the Bulgarian working people, close y united aroun
the Bulgarian CP headed by its CC, again voice their warm support

July 17 - The Yugoslav Politika concludes: "There can be no ques-
tion of a compromise with the effete, reactionary Chinese ideas,
since even the slightest concession to their present views would
bring defeat to socialism as a whole, for this would mean surren-
dering the real ideas of socialism. Because of this, the deter-
mination of the CPSU headed by lthrushchev in the conflict with
the Peking dogmatists has the backing not only of the Communist
parties, but also of all the progressive people of the world."
The Yugoslav organ Komunist carried a similar article on the

July 18 - Communist newspapers in Sydney and Melbourne, according
to th Australian Overseas Service, state that the number of
Communists who have resigned from the Party in Victoria over the
Peking-Moscow differences now totals 62. The Central Committee
alleges that this is the result of a calculated attempt by a

complained that the Chinese had not complied with the recall
demand. "arthermore, NCNA is still continuing the activities

M, rushchev was quoted as saying; "I declare to those who would

your program and we will present our program. Let the people be

padding for protection...."
July 19 - The Czech Party CC issued a 2500-word statement which
declares that the CPSU open letter "is in full harmony with the
views and lines of our Party." They state that a letter sent on
20 January 1962 to the CC/CCP "described in detail the exceedingly
harmful activities of Chinese representatives in international
organizations and the incorrect views of the CCP leadership on
basic political questions;" but "the facts and arguments of this
letter were not given a direct answer by the CCP leadership,
which refused to deal with them." A further letter was sent on
9 July 1962. The Czechs also claim that "serious damage" was
caused to the national economy of Czechoslovakia and other social-
ist countries by the sharp reduction in Chinese trade relations
"through the fault of the Chinese representatives."
Jul 20 - All Peking papers give top front-page prominence to a

They are replaying their own letter "so that out opponents will
have the material at their disposal for making criticisms which
are up to the mark. Frankly speaking, so far the criticisms are
not up to the mark and not con.!incin ," They add: "there is
only one. reason we are broadcasting the 14 July open letter of
the CC/C?SU: It is a remarkable piece of work. To quote a
Chinese poem: 'A remarkable work should be enjoyed together and
doubts analyzed in company.' ... the open letter of the CPSU is
superlative material for learning by negative example," The
statement concludes: "the Imperialists,, headed by e U.S.,,
and the Indian reactionaries and the Yugoslav revisionist clique
have acclaimed it with one voice and vilified the CC?. Such
statements deserve attention, We shall select the prize ones and
publish them for all members of our Party and all the Chinese
people to appreciate."
The Peoples' Daily editorial note accuses the letter:'.-of try-
ing to con ue and poison people's minds on the question of
nuclear war, trying to pin the vicious charge of bellicosity on
China, and, in particular, to attack Comrade Mao Tse-tung. In
accusing the Chinese leaders of making a 180-degree turn in
evaluating the 20th CPSU Congress, "the CPSU leaders know full
well that the CC/CCP has never cosidered the 20th CPSU Congress
to be wholly positive." "Take another example, the question of
extending ideological differences to the sphere of state relations
The fact is that on 16 July 1960 the Soviet side suddenly notified
China of its decision to withdraw alltheIM-and more Soviet
experts in China within a month, to scrap the hundreds of agree-
ments and contracts it had signed, and to discontinue supplies
of many important items of equipment and materials.... Yet the
CC/CPSU blames China.... So complete a reversal of the truth

July 20 -- The 3. German Party organ Neues Deutschland published
a 000-word editorial expressing ful endorsement o the CPSU
open letter, including the statement that good relations between
the CPR and the other socialist countries "changed with the
beginning of the 'great leap forward."" Also, the Germans remark
that "it is significant that the whole CC/CCP letter of 14 June
does not contain a single word about socialist democracy.....
Perhaps this is connected with the fact that the CCp leaders have
a special concept of socialist democracy. We recall, for
instance, that they were conducting a campaign under the slogan:
'Let a Hundred Flowers Bloom, Let a Hundred Schools of Thought
Contend."' But "the CCp leadership itself has done the opposite
Whereas in their 1960 statement the Communist and workers
parties proceeded from the fact that in our epoch of transition
from capitalism to socialism the struggle between the two world
systems is the main issue, the CC leaders deny this fact and
contend that the struggle of the national liberation movement in
Asia, Africa and Latin America represents the main fighting front,
the 'storm center of world revolution.' ...."

Analysis of CPSU "open letter" published 14 July 1363
The letter states as its purpose "to set out our posi-
tion on the fundamental questions of the international
Communist movement in connection with the letter of the
CC/CCP of 14 June 1333." It sweeps over the range of dif-
ferences in theory with the Chinese, seldom coining to grips
with their casuistic ideological argumentation, accusing
the Chinese of attributing to the CPSU views and positions
which it does not hold -- and at the same time stretching
CCP positions to extremes which the CCP does not really
hold. It sets forth a long list of complaints against
Chinese conduct in recent years, in many cases reversing
charges already directed against the C?SU by the Chinese!
It names Mao and other Chinese leaders in such a context
as to accuse them by inference of vacillating, wavering,
and making 133-degree turns. The Soviets accuse their
adversaries of substituting r a c i a l struggle for class
strug le, propagating the Slogan a east wind prevails
over the west" in place of "workers of the world, unite,"
and several times infer that the Chinese have "other goals
which have nothing in common with revolution" or "the
abolition of capitalism." The Chinese are accused of want-
ing to embroil the USSR and the USA in deadly warfare
against each other. The tone of the letter can readily be
seen in the wording of some of the phrases blasting the
Chinese: "frankly inimical actions"; "splitting activities";
"camouflage their erroneous views and incorrect positions";
"did their best to insult and attack the Soviet Union";
"Juggling quotations"; "monstrous fabrication and slander";
"trying to smear the CPSU ?Program"; "their utter helpless-
ness"; "psuedotheoretical discou7tse"; "haughtily and abusive-
ly accuse"; "flouting of agreements"; "resort to foul lan-
guage"; "sinks to insinuations"; "absurdity";' "use the
Albanian leaders as their mouthpiece"; etc.
The CPSU letter (in 6 numbered parts) begins with a
1230-word review of the provocative June/July conduct of the
Chinese, "mistaking our restraint for weakness." It recalls
"nearly half a century" of Soviet leadership in the struggle
for 'the triumph of Marxism-Leninism" an Soviet "tremendous,
disinterested aid to all peoples fighting for their liberation
frog the yoke of imperialism," citing especially aid to
China where it is even now assisting in the construction of
33 enter rises and -projects. Mao is quoted as saying in
that "the nese people will never forget all this,"
to which the CPSU adds: "one can only regret that the
Chinese leaders did begin to forget this."
The letter points to the Chinese "Long Live Leninism"
publication in April 1960 and attributed to Mao, as the
first openly revealing the Chinese "differences with the
WCM." The letter traces further steps by the Chinese to
impose their views : the June 1960 V'UFTU session in Peking,

After the latter, "they resumed the propaganda of their
course, using as a mouthpiece the leadership of the
B t :n the back of our ?arty,
they launched a ca:sapaign against the CC/C'?SU and the Soviet
Government." In October 1961 the CC/CPSU "undertook new
attempts to normalize relations with the CCP," and followed
these with efforts through autumn 1332 which were not
answered.
The letter then accuses the Chinese leaders of carry-
in. ideological differences over to state relations,
iv ng figures showing drastic reductions in trade over
the past threw years "on the initiative of the Chinese
leaders." It adds that sagreemen s among raterna
pci8 are nothing more than a temporary episode, whereas
relations among the peoples of the socialist countries
are now being established for all time to come."
Reviewing the "splitting activities" of the Chinese at
the December 1361 WPC session in Stockholm and 1962 sessions
of the WFTU, WPC, AAPSO, WFDY and d9IDF, the Soviets co apla in
that the Chinese froze them out of the 3rd AAPSO conference
in Moshi: "the leader of the Chinese delegatial told the
Soviet representatives that 'the w h i t e s have nothing;
to do here."' The Chinese also prevented the Soviets groin
par cippating in the Djakarta journalists conference "on
the plea that the Soviet Union is not an Asian country."
find at the recent 71IDF congress, the Chinese "accused
the overwhelming majority of taking to splitting activities,"
when "only the representatives of two countries -- China
and Albania -- out of 110 countries represented at the
congress voted against" the appeal.
In Part 2 the CPSU turns to "the gist of the differ-
ehces." "The essence of the matter is that, having started
An offensive against the positions of the Marxist-Leninist
karties on the cardinal positions of today, the Chinese
comrades first ascribe to the CPSU and other Marxist-
Leninist parties v ews which they nave never expressed and
which are aen to them: second they try by verbal recog-
nition o the formula and pos ons borrowed from e
documents of the omina s movement to camou age their
erroneous views and incorrect positions. To cone out-
openly" against peace u coexistence, sarmamen , e c.,
wwoo l mean to lay bare their positions in the eyes of the
Communists of the whole world and peace-loving peoples and
to repulse them." Therefore, "the clearer the weakness
of the positions of the CCP leadership becomes, the more
zealously it resorts to such camouflage." Behind this
"scholastic" camouflage, however, are the vital questions of
war and peace; the role and development of wor ~soca.a_.-
st system; the-struggle against he eo ogy an practice:
of the 'persona y cu *; strategy and tactics o e

"The CC/CPSU believes it a necessary duty to tell the
Party and the people with all frankness" that the CC?
leadership takes "a diametrically opposite approach to such
vital problems as t e possibility of averting a world thermo-
nuclear war, peaceful coexistence of states with eren
soda systems, and: he interrelation between the struggle
for peace and the development o the world revolutionary
movement. "What stands behind the loud revolutionary
p rases of the Chinese comrades? Lack of faith in the
forces of the working class, its revolutionary capabilities,"
etc. "To take up the way proposed by the Chinese comrades
means to alienate the popular masses." "The atomic bomb
does not adhere to the class principle: destroys every-
o y w n range of Its devastating, force;' The Chinese
"obviously underestimate all the danger of thermonuclear
war" when they contend that "the atom bomb is a paper tiger."
"Some responsible Chinese leaders also have declared that
is possible to sacrifice hundreds of millions of peop e
n war. On the ruins of destroyed imperialism, e
vi carious peo les -- asserts the collection ng Live
en n sm, .., will create a civilization a thousand
times higher than Under the capitalist sysem.
The letter then remarks pointedly: "The posing of the
question in this manner by the Chinese comrades may engender
a well-justified suspicion that this is no longer a -class
but one with en re y eren alms .... s mpossib e
not to note the fact that instead of the class internation-
alist approach expressed in the call 'workers of e wor ,
un e, the Chinese comrades stubbornly propagate the slogan
deprived of any class meaning: 'the east wind prevails over
the west."
Reviewing the Cuban crisis, the letter states that "the
Chinese comrades did their best to insult and attack the
Soviet Union." It concludes: "The impression arises that
the leaders of the CCP regard the preservation and intensi-

Part 3 of the letter is given to the "personality cult,"
with the CPSU accusing that "the CC? leaders took upon them-
selves the role of defenders of the personality cult, the
propagators of Stalin's faulty ideas." Mao, Liu and Tong
are quoted as originally approving the 20th CPSU Congress
action.
"Practice is the best measure of truth," the letter
states, and cites advances of the last 10 years. But the
CCP leaders "hint at some sort of 'bourgeoisization' and
'degeneration' of Soviet society. To follow their line of
thinking, it comes out that if people walk in bast sandals
and eat watery soup out of a bowl, this is communism, --

better tomorrow, this is tantamount to a restoration of
capitalism;,'
The letter then turns to the CC?? attack on the Soviet
claim that the "dictatorship of the proletariat" has been
replaced in the USSR by "a state of the whole people."
"Anyone who reads the discourses in their letter ... will
undoubtedly note their utter helplessness and lack of
eop e. a are
knowledge about tFF-Tif e o the Soviet people.-
Being taught that hostile classes still remain in Soviet
society, and therefore, you see, the need for the dictator-
ship of the proletariat remains." The CCP letter cites as
hostile classes "bourgeois hangers-on, parasites, black-
marketers," etc. "One must concede," say the Soviets,
"this is quite an original notion of the Chinese comrades
about classes and class struggle. Since when are these
parasitical elements considered a class? And what class?"
In Part 4, the CPSU treats "the ways and methods for
the revolutionary struggle of the working class in the
countries f ca italisn, the s rugg o for national libera-
tibn, the ways ac-"~L the of all mankind to
socialism." The Chinese depict it as though they stand
for world revolution and the CPSU and other parties
-: "have forgotten the revolution." Actually, says
the CPSU, the division "lies on an entirely different plane:
some -- namely the leaders of the CC? -- talk about world
revolution ... while others -- those prec se y whom the
Chinese comrades criticize -- approach the matter of revo-
lution with utmost seriousness and, instead of phrasemonger-
ing, work hard, seeking to find the best ways to the victory
of socialism, gays which conform best to present conditions,
and fight hard for national independence, democracy auad
socialism." By their peace policy, the letter si.ys, Soviet
Communists "give inestimable aid to the working class" of
the capitalist countries, scoring "magnificent successes."
Lenin is cited on the importance of economic victory, "but
now it turns out that there are comrades who think that
V.Y. Lenin was wrong. What is this -- lack of faith in the
ability of the countries of socialism to a ea cap a sm

"The Chinese Communists haughtily and abusively accuse
the Communist Parties of France, Italy the U.S. and oMer
countries o nothing less than opportunism and reformism,
of 'pa" 3r.'iamentary cretinismt and even of slipping down to
t bourgeois socialism, t" but "every knowledgeable Marxist-
Leninist knows that to advance a slogan for an armed uprising
when there is no revolutionary situation in the country means
to doom the working class to defeat."

the letter calls them "the great forces of our epoch," and
adds that "the correct coordination among them constitutes
one of the main requisites for victory over imperialism."
But the "new theory" of the Chinese, the CPSU says, is that
the main contradiction is "not between socialism and imperi-
alism but betvaen the national-liberation movement and
imperialism," and "the decisive force in the struggle against
imperialism ... is not the world system of socialism, not
the struggle of the international working class, but again
the national-liberation movement. In this VU .-the Chinese
wa popu
comrades apparently wish to win in t e easiest

let no one be ece vQ by this wtheory.T' Whether the Chinese
theoreticians want it or not, this theory essentially means

system a soc a sm!' e n the rumpus a ou word revolu-
tion' raised 'y t ? e Chinese comrades are other goals that
have nothing in common with revolution."
Part 5 of the Soviet letter focuses on the theme that
"the erroneous views of the CCP leaders ... are inseparably
linked with their practical activities directed owar un er-
rn n n a un o e wor soda s camp and e n er-
atona omiunist movement." Chinese reduction in trade with
the socialist community by more than 50% in the last 3 years
is elaborated on again.
Further, the letter says, "the CCP leadership organizes
and supports various anti-party groups o rene a es w o
come out against the Communist parties in the ., Brazil*
a y, Belgium, Australia and n a, and it gives some
detail, including publishing and circulating "in many lan-
guages articles discrediting" these parties, resorting to
"foul expressions" such as 'double-dealing,"' etc. "And in
its letter of June 14 the CCP leadership sinks to insinua-
tions that the CPSU, too, alle edl 'comes out in the role
o a helper o Ln er a sm. No one except r o s I y
bas et darec, in v ew of the o vim ous absurdity of s, to
?v such slanderous accusations at the great Party of Lenin.'
This section of the letter concludes with a reference
to the CCP statement that tt is "impermissible for one party
to place itself above the other fraternal parties, ... to
interfere in the internal affairs of fraternal parties...."
As one example the CPSU cites Chinese "excommunication" of
Yugoslavia. The letter quotes Peoples' Daily in 1955:
"Yugoslavia has already achieve notable successes in the
construction of socialism," and statistics show further
consolidation of the socialist sector since that time. "WWh,y,
then, have the Chinese leaders changed so drastically their
position on the Yugoslav question? It is hard to find
an explanation other than that they saw in this one of the
advantageous -- in their opinion -- pretexts to-discredit
he policy of the CPSU and other Marxist-Leninist par es."

ido contra to que esperdbamos." En vista de las actuaciones sovi-
6ticas, "la gente tiene enters justificaci6n en preocuparse de si
el CC del PCUS uiere a ujar las relaciones chino-sovi6ticas al
borde de is. ruptura... Las ideas no se pueden bloquear y es im-
posi le resolver las divergencias ideol6gicas por dictados u 6rde-
nes... Hubo mucha gente que cometi6 semejantes locuras en el pasa-
do, y todas fracasaron." Pero, afaden, las divergencias se reesolve-
r6n "si uno trata al otro realmente como iqual en lugar de tratar
de impon6rsele. Si has divergencias no se pueden resolver hoy,
pueden aguardar hasta matana. Si no se pueden resolver este ago,
pueden aguardar hasta el pr6simo."
)A Julio: El "Diario del Pueblo" public6 un articulo de "Observa-
dor` quej6ndose amargate de los esfuerzos de los Estados Unidos
de "congraciarse con la Uni6n Sovl ica, oponerse a China,, y empon-
relaciones chino-sovifticas. El articulo acusa al "im-
perialismo norteamericano de intencionalmente desvirtuar los pan-
tos de vista revolucionarios del PC chino, alegando que China 'est6
en oposici6n a la coexistencia paeifica,' 'es belicista,' y 'aboga
por la exportaci6n de is. revoluci6n,'"' (pero esto es precisamente
to que hace el PCUS en su carta publicada simultdneamente -- v6ase
m6s adelante).
14 Julio: Un breve articulo en el "Mainichi" de Tokio sabre el
examen de las conversaciones por parte del ministerio japon6s de
Relaciones Exteriores declara que, segdn dicho ministerio, bay en el
mundo 88 partidos comunistas, de los cuales 22 son prosovi6ticos, 6

14 Julio: "Pravda" publics una "carta abierta del CC del PLUS a
todas las organizations del partido todos los comunistas de la
Uni n Sovi tica, de longitud de 22.000 palabras, y tambi?n por fin
el texto de la Carta de 14 de junio.del PC chino a la cual replica-
ba. En vista de su longitud e importancia (el mismo PC chino la
denomina "una notable obra" -- vdase 19 Julio), hemos afiadido nues-
tro andlisis de dicho documento al final de nuestra Cronologia.
La carta del PCUS fue publicada integramente, junto al texto de la
carta de 14 de junio del PC chino, el 15 de Julio en el abotniches-
ko Delo, rgan del partido bulgaro, el "Rude Pravo," organ del par-
tido checo, y el "Neues Deutschland," organ del partido alemdn ori-
ental, y el 16 por el 6rgano hxingaro "Nepszabadsag." El 6rgano
polaco "Trybuna Ludu" public6 el 15 el texto integro del PCUS pero
solo partes de la Carta del PC chino. (La prensa de Pekin inform6
lo anterior el dia 17 Pero no inform6 el contenido de la carts
del PCUS.) Persistiendo en su "diferencia," los rumanos salieron
mds tarde, publicando ambas cartas en su 6rgano "Scinteia" en dos
partes, la mitad el 17 y el resto el 18. Todos los per16dicos
mogoles publicaron el texto de 1a Carta del PCUS (pero aparentemente
no la del PC chino) el 19 de Julio.
15 Julio: Un articulo del "Observador" en 1.200 palabras publica-
doo en el "Diario del Pueblo" atac6 violentamente al "grupo de Tito"
por "aventar fren6ticamente las llamas, emponzotlando las relaciones
chino-sovi6ticas, estarbando la unidad entre China y is. Uni6n Sovi-
6tica y la del movimiento comunista internacional y voceando su
mercaderia de revisionismo contempordneo."
15 Julio: "Pravda" en un editorial de 2.500 palabras sobre la
Carta abierta" del PCUS declaro que la carta habla sido publicada
(el dia anterior) "con relaci6n a las actuaciones inamistosas de
los dirigentes del PC china, su aspiraci n a exacerbar la controver-
sia en el movimiento comunista internacional queelllos mismos em-
p zaron, su intencional desvirtuacibn de la posicitn de nuestro
partido y la incorrecta inter~retai6n de los m6viles que nos in-
dujeron por al n tiela-po no publicar la carta de 14 de junco del
PC chino. Tomando por debilidad nuestra paciencia, be camaradas
chinos empezaron a presenter nuestro deseo de evitar exacerbar la
controversia casi como intenci6n de 'ocultar' de los comunistas
sovi6ticos y el pueblo sovidtico las opiniones de los lideres
chinos." A continuaci6n acusa & los chinos de "proponer y apoyar
posiciones especiales sobre cuestiones raciales del dia de hoy."
El resto del editorial consta de una breve resefia de la posicibn
sovi6tica sobre las vitales materias en cuesti6n: "la guerre y
la paz, e1 papel y el desarrollo del movimiento comunista mundial,
la lucha contra la ideologia y la prdtica del culto a la personali-
dad, is. cuesti6n de is. estrategia y la tdctica del movimiento obre-
ro mundial y la lucha por is. liberaci6n nacional." "Izvestiya"
dedica su editorial de este dia al mismo terra, subrayando el apoyo
del pueblo sovi6tico a la linea del PCUS.

onzoflar las relaciones chino-sovidticas consiste en elogiar a la
Union Sov tics y denigrar China; congraciarse con la Union

16 Julio: En un editorial de 1.400 palabras titulado "La unidad
irrompible del Partido y el pueblo," "Pravda" describe como "los
comunistas y todo el pueblo sovi6tico reaccionaron con firme aproba-
cibn de is. carts abierta." Un editorial de 1.000 palabras en
"Izvestiya" titulado "Poderoso Apoyo" fue aun m6s adelante, decla-
rando que "la prensa de los passes de is. conidad socialista y de
los partidos comunistas en los passes capitalistas comparte integra-
mente la posici6n de la carte abierta," y da como ejemplo citas del
"Rude Pravo" checo y el "Trybuna Ludu" polaco y menciona "L'Humanite"
y "L'Unita."
16 Julio: El 6rgano central del partido checo "Rude Pravo" y el
eels aco "Pravda" de Bratislava publicaron un editorial de 5.000
palabras sobre el intercambio chino-sovi6tico, siguiendo servil-
mente la Linea del PCUS hasta en su fraseologia. Comenzando por
fustigar la carta de 14 de junio del PC chino, declara que "a
todos ... sorprende no solo su tono de superioridad y su vocabula-
rio que dista mucho de ser selecto, su indiferencia hacia la r a
lidad y los hechos objets os, su aspereza al presenter Las
das denuncias contra el PC y los otros partidos comunistas: to
que salta a is. vista ... es el interminable 6nfasis sabre la 'lines
revolucionaria' en oposici6n a la supuesta linea 'oportunista'
y 'revisionista' de 'cierta gente.'"
16 Julio: El 6rgano ht5ngaro "Nepsaabadsag" acompaF16 a los textos
de ambas cartas un editorial de 900 palabras condenando a los chi-
nos por "tratar mds de agudizar dichas divergencias, de modo que,
arbitrariamente interpretando, desvirtuando y falseando la linea
conjuntamente discutida yy universalmente aceptada de los partidos
comunistas y obreros, puedan imponer sobre el movimiento comunista
sus opiniones profundamente equivocadas, que han lido refutadas
por historia ass como por la realidad actual," y afirmando que "los
comunistas h~Cingaros esttn completamente de acuerdo con la carts del
CC del PCUS."
17 Julio: Todos los diarios de Sofia publicaron editoriales hacien-
do resaitar is. importancia de la carts del PCUS. El 6rgano del
partido, "Rabotnichesko Delo," declar6 que "el pueblo trabajador
bulgaro, unido estrecbamente en derredor del PC bulgaro encabezado
par su CC, de nuevo expresa su c6,lido apoyo del gran PCUS, ... "
17 Julio: El diario yugoslavo "Politika" declar6: "No puede ad-
mitirse componenda con las ideas decadentes y reaccionarias chinas,
ya que is. minima concesi6n a sus actuales opiniones significaria la
entrega de las verdaderas ideas del socialisto. Por este motivo,
la decisi6n del PCUS encabezado por Kruschev en el eonflicto con

Julio la embajada "hizo protesta formal y categ6ricamente rechazo

checo se quej6 de que los chinos no habtaxi satisfecho is demands de

"describib en detalle las actividades extremademente perniciosas
de los representantes chinos a las organizaciones internacionales
y las opiniones incorrectas de los lideres del PC chino sobre cues-
tiones politicas b..sicas;" Pero "los hechos y argumentaci6n de
dicha carts no recibieron contestaci6n directs por parte del lide-
rato del PC chino, que se neg6 a tratarlaa." Otra carte fue envia-

20 Julio: Todos los diarios de Pekin destacaron en primera plena
una dec araci6n fechada el 19 de Julio per un portavoz del CC de PC
chino sobre la carte abierta del PLUS. En pdginas interiores pu-
blicaron el texto integro de la carta del PCUS (en muehas partes
en negrita) asi como una declaracion editorial del "Diario del
Pueblo." Dicho diario tambi6n public6 de nuevo el texto de la
carta del PC chino de 14 de 'unto "pare que los miembros del PC
chino y el pueblo chino puedan conocer las opinions de ambos lados
y las comparen y estudien." La declaration del PC chino expres6
tambi6n que los diarios nacionales, provinciales y urbanos tambi6n
publicarian la carte del PCUS y que ambas cartas serian difundidas
al mundo entero en machos idiomas.
Estrin jugando otra vez una partida con su propia carta "pare
que nuestros adversarios tengan el material a an disposition pars
criticar a su altura. Hablando francamente, haste shore, las cri-
ticas no eaten a su altura no convencen." Afaden: "existe solo
una raz n por ].a cual estamos transmitiendo la carts abierta del

de un poems chino: 'Una obra extraordinaria debe ser gozada en
conjunto y dudas analizadas en compafiia.' ... is carts abierta del
PCUS es material superlativo pare aprender por medio de ejemplo

clue todos los miembros de nuestro Partido y todo al pueblo chino

te la Carta abierta del PCUS, incluyendo la declaraci6n de que bue-
nas relaciones entre el RPC y los otros passes socialistas "han
cambiado con el comienzo del 'gran paso adelante.'" Tambi6n, dicen
los alemanes que "es significante que.la carts completa del 14 de
junio del CC del PC chino no contiene ni una sola palabra acerca de
la democracia socialista ... Posiblemente est6 relacionado con el
hecho que los lideres del PC chino tienen un concepto especial de
la democracia socialista. Recordamos, por ejemplo, que estaban
ilevando a Cabo una campafa, bajo la frase de reclamo: 'Que Fiorez-
can Cien Flores, Que Batallen Cien Modos de Pensar.'" Pero "el
liderato mismo del PCC ha hecho todo to contrario ... Mientras que
en su declaraci6n del 1960 los partidos obreros y comunistas prosi-
guieron del hecho de que en nuestra 6poca de transici6n del capi-
talismo al socialisto la lucha entre los dos sistemas mundiales es
el suceso principal, los lideres del PC chino niegan este hecho y
sostienen que la lucha del movimiento de liberaci6n nacional en
Asia, Africa y la Am6rica Latina representa el frente de lucha prim
cipal, el centro de la tormenta de la revoluci6n mundial.'..."

"For mi parte, creo, que conducir consultas con estos dos partidos
comunistas no sera solamente en los intereses del movimiento inter-
nacional, pero tambi6n en el inter6s del desarrollo de las nuevas
fierzas que est6n surgiando." En contestaci6n a una pregunta de
un corresponsal del Occidente, Aidit dijo; "Yo, y el PKI, hemos
respaldado is declaraci6n de Moscd porque declara en frases defini-

332. Communist Internationalism - Past, Present and Future.
25X1C10b
25X1C10b
BACKGROUND: The attached, UNCLASSIFIED 9-page study on
subject prow des background information (additional copies may
be ordered from }IQ). It traces the origin of Communist inter-
nationalism back to MARX' "Communist Manifesto," briefly out-
lines the facts of the first, second and third Internationals
and of the COMIN 'ORII and summarizes the role of the International
Communist Fronts and of International party meetings in the 6WCM
since World War Two. It describes the inexorable decline of
Communist internationalism from Lenin through Stalin to the
present and concludes by briefly discussing the principal current
contradictions preventing a true internationalist policy or a
true global organization of the WCM. At the end, 5 books are
listed for recommended reading.

683. East-West Trade: A False Issue
25X1 C10b
BACKGROUND: One favorite tactic of the Soviets is to seize
a slogan which, in itself, almost everyone would support, then to
maintain that this is a Soviet program and to claim that Western
capitalist` governments, in particular the United States govern-
ment, are opposed to this program. "Peaceful coexistence" is
one such slogan and another is "improving East-West trade." Some-
times American policies which are essential for free world security,
such as the embargo on the export of strategic goods to the Soviet
bloc, can be twisted to blacken the reputation of the United
States. Also, for reasons of internal politics, moral indignation,
and bureaucratic difficulties, Americans sometimes do things which
lend color to Soviet q.ccusations and which appear irrational to
outsiders: for instance, boycotts of polish ham sales. Armed
with such cases, Soviet propagandists find it easy to convince
various wishful thinkers that the Soviets offer wonderful things,
and are only obstructed by selfish American interests.
International Trade Conference. Slogans of this kind are all
the more useful when they can b e a red in the atmosphere of an
international conference, preferably one including as many under-
developed nations as possible. In the field of trade, a conference
e
is now planned to take place under UN auspices in March l9S the
World Trade an Development Conference The Soviets have
presse for an as -u?est trade conference or many years, and last
year the United States accepted a modified conference proposal
sponsored by 34 Asian, African and Latin American countries, and
also by Yugoslavia; this proposal was adopted by the UN Assembly
last December. The 34-nation proposal was acceptable to the US
because it stressed the problem of helping developing countries,
because it was limited to UN members (thus excluding Communist
China and East Germany), and because it provided that measures
would be taken up "leading to the gradual removal of tariff, non-
tariff, and other trade barriers arising from industrialized
countries which affect the exports of developing countries and
expansion of international trade in general." Such barriers could
include Soviet closed markets and state trade monopolies as well
as western embargoes.
Zven preparatory meetings provide sounding boards. In a
first preparatory meeting for the WTDC, last February, the Soviets
made a new effort to insert "obstacles to East-West trade" in the
agenda, their vague formula being intended to open the way for
propaganda attack. In a second preparatory meeting (at Geneva)
in June, the Soviets urged long-term trade agreements (coinciding
with Soviet five year plans), and tried to make development
assistance contingent on disarmament, as well as attacking Western
embargoes as usual.

More indicative of Soviet strategy were proposals at the June
meeting for establishing a or lade Organization, which would
replace the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), to which
the United States and 41 other countries adhere (as full partners;
there are 10 others who participate under special arrangements),
and which serves to settle economic differences between the major
free world economic groupings, such as the US, the Common Market,
and the European Free Trade Association. GATT is a multilateral
contract which encourages the reduction of tariffs, the elimination
of quotas, and above all, the equal treatment of all foreign part-
ners in each market (most-favored-nation principle). In other words,
GATT serves as an instrument for free world economic cooperation,
and also for the spread of the classic principles of free trade, and
its destruction would be a political as well as an economic setback
to the United States and its allies. The Soviets accordingly attack
GATT, and try to convince developing countries that the organization
they propose would be more helpful. The Soviets would exercise a
veto in their proposed World Trade Organization, along Troika lines,
and wou use to impose a pattern of bilateral trade In which
their economic superiority vis-a-vis many other countries would
enable them to trade on their own terms. By its nature, the Soviet
trade monopoly stein is a highly discriminatory device which makes
the USSR unfitte" for participation in a GATT-type system, and the
logical western response to Soviet demands is to demand that the
Soviets drop all import restrictions, use world prices as a base
for internal prices, and in fact adopt a free market system. Soviet
attacks on western embargoes are only red herrings designed to con-
ceal the completely controlled character of Soviet foreign trade.
But the Soviets apparently intend to launch a major attack on GATT,
and also on the Common Market, at the WTDC, all the more so since
the WTDC will meet two months before the opening of GATT negotiation*
under the "Kennedy round," in May 1964.
Soviet goals at the approaching WTDC help to elain recent
Sovie efforts to convince Western businessmen that new maricetg-are
available in the Bloc, if only Western governments will remove
restrictions. These Soviet efforts follow a typical pattern: first,
it was made known that the. Soviets are ready to contract for large
amounts of steel pipe, large numbers of ships, or large-scale plants.
Then it is found that the Soviet desires involve a conflict with
Western embargoes or business secrets, and the Western businessmen,
ready and anxious to trade, are encouraged to think that they are
thwarted by Western governments or self-interested monopolies
(e.g. oil). The Soviets hope and expect that pressure on Western
governments will result.
Thus, . Sovietci.?1.esations visited the United Kingdom last fall,
and the US this s pri.ng, spreading stores that large orders might
be placed. The British were led to think that they could sell ships
(shipbuilding is a depressed industry in most countries, and
especially in the UK), but it turned out that the Soviets wanted to
pay in oil, Even though the UK was willing to consider such a deal,
no Soviet order for ships came forward. Britain, Germany, and the
US were much concerned early this year over the question of whether
lari pepdim~ or I eease wa /0 12 X A P2 lV8- 3%6~A 02000 ' gh the

Germans agreed that this would be contrary to NATO security interests
and cancelled their contracts, the British were apparently ready to
violate NATO solidarity in order to sell the pipe (pipe is not on
the COCOM list and its manufacture would have aided a depressed area).
Yet the Soviets, while getting some pipe from Sweden, have left the
British dangling; apparently they calculate that the disappointment
will cause the British to agitate further against export restrictionsi
causing political-economic problems involving also allied policy.
In another case, the Soviets gave British engineering firms to
understand that they were ready to buy a $280,000,000 refinery,
which would be the world's largest. It turned out that the Soviets
not only wanted assurances that they were getting the most up-to-
date equipment, they also wanted to "see for themselves" that they
were getting it -- in other words, they wanted access to all the
secrets of the big international oil companies, something which none
o the engineers could possibly have obtained for them. (See The
Statist, 21 June 1933) Yet the "offer" was later dangled again when
p arc o Wilson, leader of the British Labour party, visited Moscow
in June. It may be that the Soviets will eventually place an order
for such a refinery somewhere, since they need it and since it need
not involve any trade secrets, but meanwhile they are using the
proposal to tantalize British businessmen, and British politicians
as well. Berthold Beitz, the General Manager of Kru , was warmly
received in scow n., ay, even av ng a long interview with
Khrushchev. Possibly Beitz brought home some secret orders, but
according to Der Spiegel (5 June), he failed to secure a ship con-
tract he had sought,
As in the case of British business, the Soviets may be trying
to use Beitz to bring pressure on his government. In England, a
meeting was hold from to 15 M rc , with Soviet and World Peace
Council participation, and passed a resolution urging governments
to support the WTDC and to have the WTDC "seek the elimination of
the cold war in trade," On 5 July, a report appeared, signed by
20 British industrialists calling themselves the East-West Trade
Group; this report stated that the British Government could increase
trade if it would review import licensing to end discrimination
against East European products (read "Soviet oil"), begin discussion
with these countries on a five-year trade expansion program (which
would fit in with the next five year plans), and extend credit
insurance covering contracts for capital equipment bought by East
European countries (easing a current Soviet shortage of foreign
exchange).
The possible benefits of trade with the Bloc are easily exagger-
ated. The East-West a e Group claimed that British exports to the
Mococ would be tripled in five years -- which if true would make them
come to 9% of current British exports to non-sterling areas. This
would not radically improve the British foreign trade situation,.
since some of these exports would otherwise be exported elsewhere.
For all of Beitz's activity, Krupp's exports to the Soviets only
come to DM 15 million out of a total product of DM 4 billion. West
Germany is the largest exporter to the USSR outside the Bloc, with

$12.7 billion. The fact that the West Germans can be the greatest
exporters to the USSR sheds a strange light on Soviet claims that
"cold war" considerations are an obstacle to trade; if this were
true, West Germany should stand at the bottom of the scale.
Soviet 1conoyiic Needs. The Soviets are indeed interested in
may: in purchases abroad; n particular, they want to obtain advanced
western technology without doing expensive research (for industrial
espionage) themselves. Recent Soviet purchases abroad include
chemical plants (to produce fertilizers, synthetic fibers, and
synthetic fuels), and they have also interested themselves in food
processing equipment. These purchases seem to reflect a current
crash program to make Soviet agriculture produce, and to get more
food (for example, by fishing).
But the Western strategic embargoes are not the limiting factor
in Soviet foreign trade. in volume, the results of ending such
restric ions wou Be insignificant. The limitation, to put it
baldly, is that the Soviets can't finance their purchases with
enough of anything that anyone wants, principal Soviet exports are
oil, lumber, grain, and ores and metals, in that order. In the
case of oil, much has lately been -divertod to Cuba; in the case of
lumber, neither Soviet supply nor Western markets are susceptible
to major expansion; in the case of grain, there Is ordinarily none
to scare outside the Bloc; in the case of ores and metals, the
values are low. The Soviets have discussed the export of machinery
with various nations, especially the British, but it is doubtful
that Soviet machines could be marketed in volume in any advanced
Industrial country, and there is always the problem of parts and
service. Adequate marketing and service organizations are costly,
and yet essential if sales are to be maintained. As a result of
their lack of acceptable exports, the Soviets are now suffering from
a shortage of foreign exchange, and their situation in the near
future in this respect is likely to grow more difficult. Exporters
who are offered contracts by the Soviets would be well advised to
-be sure that payment is fully guaranteed, as some creditors may find
themselves offered the choice of some low-value barter commodity
or nothing.
Soviet economic plans avoid foreign trade. The Soviets give no
indication that they are seriously interested in making foreign
trade a greater factor in their economic life. Their economic plans
aim largely at self-sufficiency: the proportion and pattern of
these plans leave no gaps which might indicate any expectation to
import materials in question.
'That are the true Soviet objectives in the foreign trade field?
1. They want to obtain easier credit and better condi-
tions for barter in order to buy t a ngs they nee most
urgers y.
2. They want to obtain knowledge of advanced western
industrial techniques. If western strategic controls are
ease , and trade secrets are made more readily available,

the result might be a decrease rather than an increase
in large scale orders, the buying of prototype plants
being no longer necessary. Needless to say, Soviet pur-
chases of prototype machinery are never the beginning of
a long-term, continuing requirement; the machines are
simply copied.
3. They want to turn Western businessmen against
Western governments, ma ng them believe that the govern-
me~are standing in the way of increased trade.
4. They want to weaken Western unity by pitting some
countries (such as Britain--and West e-rmany) against each
other and against the United States over the issue of
trade restrictions, also by attacking GATT.
5. They want eventually to establish a World Trade
Organization which would obstruct rather than further
free multilateral trade, and which would support SoUet
ek ors to organize trade on a bilateral basis, with
Moscow at one end. They doubtlessly hope to get the
support of underdeveloped nations in this effort, though
these countries are not so unsophisticated on this sub-
ject as Moscow thinks.
Actually, the practical dangers of the Soviet trade offensive
can easily be overestimated. Perhaps the most serious matter is
the possibility that, in countries like Japan, Great Britain, and
Vest Germany, the question of East-West trade may become a political
football, with local politicians adopting demagogic anti-Amer can
policies. Such tactics, aimed at supposed US hostility to free trade,
are completely misdirected. It is the Soviets who are opposed to
free trade; it is only they who by a change in their economic policy,
25X1C10bcould bring about a major increase in their foreign trade volume.

25X1C10b
BACKG.Rt)tJND; Although the African heads-of-state meeting
at F. r y p~ ~.^~ turned down President Nkrumah's plan for the
in tedi .te, political unity of Africa, the unprecedented meet-
ing of 30 of the 33 independent African countries reflects to
some degree Nkrumah's own strenuous pan-African drive. For
six years the Ghanaian leader has exhorted other lead':rs and
their pzoples to accept his concept of an Africa united under
a strong central government and he has left little doubt that he
envisions himself as the first President of a united African nation.
N1rumah has also resorted to widespread subversion in
-. other African countries by providing money an.U_eFias to radical
nationalist groups; training and supporting potential opposi-
tion leaders and exiles from independent countries; and inveigh-
ing against other governments through an extensive propaganda
Program.
The Addis Ababa conference heard many public, though
frequently veiled, references to Nkrumah's interference in the
political life of other African countries. Mali's President
iteita undoubtedly had Ghana in mind when he spoke against
African countries which maintain exiles who are plotting "subversive
activities in independent African states."
Organizations with supra-national responsibilities. Nkrumah
has established several compre iensive organizes ons tofurther
his efforts and provide the foundation for an all-African struc-
ture. The African Affairs Secretariat (AAS) is the executive
for implementing iaruma s
pan-African policies. Its official
action arm, the Bureau of African Affairs (BAA), was established
in 1959 ostensib y, according-to the ana Yearbook, to concern
itself with "political parties and movements .... especially the
dependent African states which are engaged in the fight to free
themselves from foreign domination. It provides these parties,
movements and similar organizations with necessary information
to promote achievement of their ob ec;We-s -(our `uncer1TnTng)
The 3s rumahTS most Tmportan organizational weapon for
subversion and persuasion in African countries. For example,
Ghana supported exiles from neighboring Togo who were plotting
to overthrow the ?rime Minister; one of the exiles was the
leader of an unsuccessful assassination attempt. At the same
time he urged that Togo be integrated into Ghana. in another
case, witnesses at a Nigerian subversion trial in early 1963 test-
ified to having received training in subversive techniques in Ghana
(even including an unverified suggestion that some of the instruct-
ors were from the Communist bloc).

The African Affairs Center (AAC) is responsible for exiles
from dePe7n-a iit :.^3.ca'1 coup rTes and from those whose regimes
are hostile to Nkrumah. Exiles from South Africa, Angola,
Ivory Coast, Togo, Nigeria and Cameroon are among those who have
fled to Ghana. The Center receives and houses them and arranges
for their support and training.
The Kwame Nkrumah Institute of Economics and Political
Science Winne a, G bana, was established or the avowed purpose
of providing "ideological education to activists and Freedom
Fighters of the African Struggle against imperialism, colonial-
ism and neo-colonialism" and for training students in the
"African Liberation Movement." (See staff study on "N"krumaism
and Communist Holding of Ghana Youth," sent to certain stations
ywith Book Dispatch #365, 18 March 1963). Here 'nationalist
leaders from the de andent African countries are trained in the
organizational and ideological principles of Nkrumai.sm
principles which closely resemble those of the Communist world.
The Institute's political science syllabus, for example, contains
thirteen subheadings of which eight are identical with those in
Fundamentals of Marxism-Leninism, the basic ideological text
pub isn.e By e COU in 1959. Other course outlines correspond
closely to those of Political Economy -- A Marxist Textbook
written by John Eaton, a leading member o the r is . The
Institute's director is assistant to the Director of Press and
Radio for advising the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation on "politi-
cal interpretation and proper treatment of news items," --
insuring that Ghanaians also receive the proper political indoc-
trination.
The Ghanaian Trade Unions Congress (GTUC) has been active
in supporting radical r can trade union movements, the anti-
Western All-African Trade Union Federation (AATUF) in particular,
and in disaffecting affiliates of the free world international
Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICF'TU). GTUC brings trade
union officials to the Kwame Nkrumah Institute for training and
assists others to obtain scholarships for study in the Soviet
bloc. The Lagos West African Pilot of July 5th reports that the
GTUC is urging the to convene an all-African labor con-
ference to decide "Joint action within the spirit and require-
ments of the African situation," undoubtedly calculated to
enhance Ghana's appeal to the increasingly powerful African
trade union movement.
The Foreign Ministry has more than once been caught inter-
fering in host country affairs through its diplomatic install-
ations. Ghana's Charge in Leopoldville was forcibly expelled
in 1960 when he tried to influence Congolese developments through
Antoine Gizenga, as he had successfully doon-e through the latter's
predecessor, Patrice Lumumba. Ghana retaliated by recognizing
Gizenga's Stanleyville "government"j openly flouting the legally
constituted central Congolese government. The First Secretary

the Iraqi revolution of February 1963 which overthrew the Soviet-

In Ghana, Nkrumah's personal popularity has suffered from
the increasing repression of domestic political life and from

Popular discontent burst into the open in August 1962 with an
attempt at Kulungulu to assassinate Nkrumah followed by a series
of bombing attacks. Two Cabinet Ministers and a prominent CPP
official were arrested and accused of being "imperialist tools,"
Their trial has been delayed until August 1963, presumably for
lack of evidence. He permits no political opposition and con-
tinues to exert his personal authority over most of the govern-

COMMUNIST INTERNATIONALISM -- PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE
CPYRGHT
INTRODUCTION.
In the last several years, the Communists have been encountering increas-
ing difficulties in the international relations among their parties, govern-
ments and front organizations. Some people attribute these widening cracks
in the once "monolithic" World Communist Movement (WCM) exclusively to the
differences between Moscow and Peking. The significance of the latter shall
not be denied or minimized, but it is essential for any realistic understanding
of these growing Communist troubles to recognize the basic conflict between
their internationalist ideology and the reality of their political, military
and economic power interests. The present paper outlines some of the basic
facts contributing to this understanding.
HISTORY.
Origins. The internationalist beliefs and organizational attempts
which have characterized the Communist (and Socialist) movements of the 19th
and 20th centuries originated in the COMMUNIST MANIFESTO, in which Karl Marx

and Friedrich Engels., on the eve of the revolutions of 1848, proclaimed
their profound conviction that the internationalization of all coming
human history was "inevitable" -- and, consequently, of the international
character of the Communist movement -- in ringing, apodictic phrases:
"The workingmen have no country ("Vaterland" in the German
original). We cannot take from them what they have not got."
"National differences and. antagonisms between peoples are
daily more and more vanishing. . . . The supremacy of the
proletariat will cause them to vanish still faster."
"The Communists everywhere support every. revolutionary
movement against the existing social.and political order
of things . . .they labor everywhere for the union and
agreement of the democratic parties of all countries."
"Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution.
The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They
have a.world to win. Workingmen of all countries unite!"
The Three Internationals. Communists and Socialists accepted Marx'
internationalism .as a basic article of faith, both intellectually and
emotionally, but all attempts to translate this faith into.workable inter-
national organizations fell far short of their intentions:
The First International ("International Workingmen's Association"),
founded by Marx in London 19;7,-was a loose federation of individuals and
small groups, which broke up less than 10 years later, mainly because of
the fundamental conflict between Marxists and Anarchists (Bakunin).
The Second International ("Labor and Socialist International")
was founded in Paris 1669. Its members were mostly Social Democratic
and Labor Parties in all industrial countries of Europe which grew into
mass parties with numerous representatives in their countries' parlia-
ments -- Lenin's underground Russian Bolsheviks being the only exception.
--
World War One 1914 broke the Second International into three factions
a. the r i g h t wing or revisionists, such as the
majority of the German SP, the British Labor party,
and the Scandinavian SPs;
b. the c e n t e r or Austro-Marxists, represented by the
Austrian SP, the minority of the German SP, the French
and Italian SPs;
c. the 1 e f t wing or Zimmerwald (their first meeting
place in Switzerland) movement, centered around Lenin
and including the Spartacus League in Germany and other
left-wing splinter groups.

The Second International was reconstructed after World War I (Hamburg,
1923), broke up again during World War II and was rebuilt once more after-
wares:..{-Frankfurt, 1951).
The Tb.ird International.. ('Communist International" -- COMINTERN)
was founded in Moscow 1919. and organized along. Lenin's line of "democratic
centralism."' It was initiated and completely dominated by the Communist
Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU),.then the only party in power. On paper,
it had affiliates in 57 countries but actually very few parties outside
Russia represented significant political strength. During World War II,
Stalin dissolved the COMINTERN (191-3).
International Communist Organizations since World War Two.
a. The Information Bureau of Communist P sties (COMIhFQBM) was
founded in 194T and had its headquarters first in Belgrade, then in
Bucharest. It consisted of representatives ofall..European Bloc parties
.and of the French and Italian CPs. Its main Visible activity -- apart
from formalizing.Stalin's decision to- expe>+; the Yugoslav. cP.1.91+8 -- was
the publication of a weekly ;journal, FOR A LASTING PEACE, FOR A,PEOPLE'S
DEMOCRACY, in.several languages. It was dissolved. again in 1956.
b. International Communist Fronts (ICFs). Beginning even before
the end of the war, a dozen new international organizations were set up,
with varying initial degrees of Communist influence, but all ultimately
serving the ends of the WCM. They include the World Peace CouaciJithe
World Federation of Trade Unions, the World Federation of Democra'ic Youth,
the International Students Union, the Women's International Democratic
Federation, and several others. These organizations resumed certain
functions of the dissolved.COMINTERN, stimulated the creation and develop-
ment of Communist fronts in non-Communist countries and engaged in-a wide
variety of global and regional activities, holding rallies and congresses,
operating training centers, publishing periodicals and pamphlets in many
languages, providing traveling instructors and organizers, and so forth.
-Even though far larger and more efficiently organized than.- any comparable
Communist fronts before World War Two and quite active in many. fields,
including such spectacular propaganda events as the World Youth Rallies and
the World Peace Congresses, they do, nevertheless, not constitute a true or
comprehensive international organization of the WCM. At first, it appeared
that the ICFs -- financially dependent upon Moscow and stage-managed by CPSU
officials in key positions were more suitable to Soviet control than
national CPs, especially where the latter were in power or represented size-
able strength in opposition. More recently, however, Soviet manipulation of
ICFs has encountered increasing Chinese opposition and other difficulties and
Moscow appears to switch increasingly to bilateral relations with national
CPs, national fronts and (where practicable) governments.
c. International Communist Party Meetings. Even though frequent
close contacts between all CPs, especially bilaterally between the CPSU

andall other CPs, were maintained after the dissolution of the COMINTERN
including meetings of "fraternal" delegates at national party, congresses --,
only two formal meetings of the leaders of all Gds of the world.-were held
since World War Two, both in Moscow,, in 1957 and 1960 It is significant
that no such meetings were held while Stain was still alive. Important as
these two conferences and the resolutions unanimously adopted by them
(considered, especially in Chinese Communist polemics against Moscow, as
the "lair" of the WCM) undoubtedly were, they did not lead to any new inter-
national organization. Moreover, the spirit and letter of their resolutions
was soon submerged in the rising flood of dissensions in the Communist camp,
especially between Moscow and Peking.
Symbols. The symbols of internationalism assumed-a paramount role
from the earliest days of Marx-inspired labor movements, even before World
War One. All parties, socialist and.communist, adopted the red flag as
their banner, placed internationalist slogans -- especially the final Words
of the Communist Manifesto, "Workingmen of all Countries, Unite" -- on
placards, in meeting halls and on the mastheads of their publications.
Meetings ended --and demonatrebors marched to the strains of the
"Internationale" (which, incidentally, was written and composed in honor of
the first International and.was therefore "common property" of Socialists
and Communists):
"Arise ye prisoners of starvation,
Arise ye wretched of this earth . .
This song became the anthem of the movement: audiences rose from their
seats, men took off their hats. . . . The Soviet union originally adopted
the Internationale as its national anthem, but replaced it with a more
traditionally Russian tune during World War Two.
Emotional Impact. The idea of a "world-wide revolutionary brotherhood"
inspired the rank-and-file of first the Socialist and later the Communist
movements far beyond any reasoned acceptance of the internationalist doctrines
of Marx and Lenin. The feeling of having friends and fellow-militants in all
parts of the globe, of belonging to an "Irresistibly advancing" world-wide
movement (in the concluding words of their anthem: "The International Party
will be the human race"), encouraged the faithful, especially where the party
w.as weak, undergoing persecution or suffering setbacks. This strong com-
mitment to internationalism has been demonstrated over the years through
innumerable activities, from collecting funds, clothing or medical supplies
for strikers, political prisoners and other casualties of the common
struggle in far away lands to the thousands who volunteered to risk their
lives in revolutionary fighting, from the Paris Commune 1871 to the Spanish
Civil war, 193+ - 1938.

THE DECLINE OF COMMUNIST INTERNATIONALISM.
Lenin's Approach. Lenin was not an internationalist in the same cosmo-
politan sense as Marx and Engels had been (it is no accident that under
Stalin "cosmopolitan" became an ominous insult in the Communist dictionary):
his thoughts and efforts were focused on revolution in Russia, f?kst and
foremost. However, his allegiance to Marx' doctrines led him to the con-
viction that a revolution in Russia alone had no chanbe to survive, until
paralleled -- or, at least, quickly followed -- by revolutions in the more
advanced industrial nations of Europe. He founded the Third International
primarily as an instrument of promoting the world revolution elsewhere, if
only because further revolutionary successes were imperative to safeguard
the future of Communist Russia. He admitted bluntly:
"Of course the final victory y of socialism in a s i n g 1 e
country is impossible." (At 3rd Council of Soviets,
January 1918)
Thus, the COMINTERN in Lenin's days may be defined as a truly revolutionary,
internationalist organization, even if primarily intended to saveand protect
the Soviet Union.
Stalin and "Socialism in One Country". When Stalin became supreme
ruler, Europe had fully recovered from the severe shocks she had undergone
in the wake of World War One and all hope for new Communist revolutions in
other key countries had been abandoned. TROTSKY alone stuck to the
original concepts of internationalism and of "permanent" world revolution --
but Stalin soon eliminated Trotsky and his sympathizers throughout the WCM.
Stalin gradually reduced the COMINTERN to a mere tool of the CPSU's and the
Soviet. Government's foreign policy, changing its policies and tactics when-
ever he felt this necessary in Moscow's interest. This was most dramatically
illustrated by the 7th and last COMINTERN Congress, Moscow 1935, which
elected Bulgarian George Dimitrov, hero of the Reichstag fire trial, as
Secretary General and adopted the "Trojan Horse strategy" of popular fronts
which became particularly successful in France and -- at least temporarily --
in the Spanish Civil War. This was a complete reversal of the preceding
strategy of "class against class," which had denounced the Social Democrats
as "Social Fascists" -- a reversal dictated by Stalin's growing fear of
Hitler's rapidly rising aggressive power. The anti-Fascist popular front
strategy was just as suddenly abandoned in August 1939, when the Stalin-
Hitler pact was signed -- with complete disregard of the interests of the
Communist Parties in Central and Western Europe which were se-vex jy shaken by
Moscow's totally unexpected "co-existence" with Hitler.
World War Two. The first two years of the German-Russian conflict,
from Hitler's assault in June 1941, until the battle of Stalingrad, early
in brought the Soviet regime close to the brink of total
disaster. Stalin soon recognized that the appeals of Communist doctrine

and internationalist enmity against Hitler Fascism did not at all suffice to
bolster the morale of his armed forces and of his civilian populations. He,
therefore, not only dissolved the COMINTERN (which may have been more a
formal concession to the Western allies than a fundamental change of his
.thinking) but based domestic war propaganda and indoctrination increasingly
on nationalistic, patriotic} traditionally Russian appeals, while at the same
time enlisting the active help of the Russian Orthodox Church. The-war-was
officially designated as "The Great Patriotic War" -- with little reference
to its" anti-fascist, internationalist aspects. Stalin, toasting the Red
Army commanders in the Kremlin, on May 24, 1945, proclaimed:
"I drink primarily to the health of. the Russian people because
it is the most-outstanding of all the nations that constitute
the Soviet Union. I drink to the health of the Russian
people, because, during this war, it has earned universal
recognition as the guiding force of the Soviet Union among 811
the peoples of our country. I drink to the health of the
Russian people, not only because it is the leading people, but
also because it is gifted with a clear mind, a staunch character,
and patience."
(Stalin, "On the Great Patriotic War of the
Soviet Union", pp. 241-42) .
At Present: "Independence" and "E ualit " of National Communist Parties.
The Moscow meeting of the 81 Communist Parties in November 1960, the last
authoritative assembly of the entire WCM, solemnly reasserted the basic
tenets of internationalism:
"The socialist (i.e. Communist) countries and the socialist
comp as a whole owe their achievements to . . . their close
fraternal cooperation and mutual internationalist assistance,
and above all, to the fraternal, internationalist assistance
from the Soviet Union."
Later on, the statement of the 81 parties exhorted. all comrades:
"At a time when imperialist reaction is joining forces to
fight Communism, it is particularly imperative vigorously
to consolidate the world Communist movement. Unity and
solidarity redouble the strength of our movement and provide
a reliable guarantee that the great cause of Communism will
make victorious progress . . . . It is the supreme inter-
nationalist duty of every Marxist-Leninist party to work
continuously for greater unite in the world Communist move-
Nevertheless, the conference did not only fail to set up any new inter-
national organization, but even recognized formally the right to
every national CP to determine its own course independently:

"All the Marxist-Leninist parties are independent and have
egua1 rights, they shape their policies according to the
specific conditions in their respective countries and in
keeping with Marxist-Leninist principles, and support each
other."
The text also suggested procedures for consultations among parties::
The Communist and workers' parties hold meetings whenever
necessary to discuss urgent problems, to exchange experience,
acquaint themselves with each other's views and positions,
work out common views through consultations and cc d,?n6,.te
joint actions in the struggle for common goals. Whenever
a party wants to clear up questions relating to the activities
of another fraternal party, its leadership approaches the
leadership of the party concerned. If necessary, they hold
meetings and consultations."
Actually, however, no further international Communist meeting has been held
and differences between parties have been vented in public polemics rather
than through the consultative method recommended.
CONCLUSIONS AND FORECASTS.
World Soviet Republic? According to the original Communist concept,
all countries in which the Communists would seize power were to join the
original Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, thus expanding the latter
into a World Soviet Republic. Stalin, at the 10th All-Russian Soviet Con-
gress, December 1922, proclaimed:
"Let us hope that by forming our confederate republic we
shall be creating a reliable bulwark against international
capitalism and that the new confederate state will be another
step towards the amalgamation of the toilers of the whole
world into a s i n g 1 e World Socialist Soviet RLeRublic."
Actually, however, each additional country, taken over by the Communists,
retained its sovereignty and national independence. This Was initially
primarily a concession to the nationalist and patriotic traditions of these
nations, concealing. the expansion of Stalin's empire: today, however, there
can be no doubt about the true independence of China from Moscow. Even the
European Satellites, though still dependent upon the Soviet Union in a
variety of ways, have regained a large degree of autonomy. Poland changed
its regime in 1956 very much against Moscow's wishes, Czechoslovakia paid
only lip service to Kh.rushchev's Destalinization, Rumania still opposes

Moscow-imposed economic "coordination" and Albania has completely defied the
Kremlin's displeasure, siding aggressively with China against the Russian
"neo-revisionists."
National Interests Vs. Internationalism. In every Communist country,
the interests of the ruling Communist elite have merged gradually. with the
interests of the nation, including traditional claims of previous autocratic
and imperialist regimes. The Soviet Union has obviously no intention to
abandon the conquests of the Tsars, especially in Asia. and celebrates
Tsarist heroes, including even Ivan the Terrible. Communist China is
reasserting imperial Chinese claims to Tibet, the Indian border regions and
ultimately most of Southeast Asia, Communist Bulgaria and Yugoslavia have
inherited the Balkan quarrels of their predecessors, notably in the feud
over Macedonia. The Soviet Union is no longer capable of bending the services
of all the Communist Parties of the world to its will, regardless of their
own national interests, as Stalin did: but it is not willing to change its
foreign policies in accordance with those interests of other CPs, either.
Khrushchev's attempt to appease De Gaulle in the midst of the Algerian war,
China's attack upon India and many other moves of the Communist powers were
undertaken without any consultation with -- or consideration for the
interests of -- the Communist Parties of France, Algeria, India or the other
countries involved.
Contradictions. Genuine internationalism is intrinsically
d e m o c r a t s c: it requires cooperation of all nations on a basis
of equality, free exchange of opinions and protection of minorities.
Communists do not only not concede equal rights or freedom of opinion to
non-Communists, they have also methodically curtailed and finally (under
Stalin) eliminated all rights of minorities within their own ranks -- which
they have condemned. as "factionalism," "deviationism" and worse. Even if
all areas under Communist control would have been consolidated into one
"world Soviet Republic" (see above), its internationalist character would
have been vitiated by the totalitarian methods of Communist dictatorship.
Now, however, with a dozen separate Communist regimes and a number of free-
world CPs increasingly intent upon their own courses of national action, the
contradiction between professed internationalist creed and actual, national
or regional, political and organizational practice has become wholly
unbridgeable.
The Outlook. The developments summarized in the present paper must
not make us jump to the conclusion that the WCM is about to disintegrate
into national parties or even regional groupings. We must assume that at least in the foreseeable future, i.e. during the next 5 years or so --
Communists in all parts of the world, whatever their tactical, ideological
or national differences, will still be held strongly together, at least by
their common e n m i t y against the non-Communist world, but also by
their common o r i g i n s. Any Communist country can presumably still
expect military assistance from any other Communist country (even China
from the Soviet Union), if attacked by an outside power. Illegal CP9 and

those engaging in guerrilla warfare and other forms of violent subversion will
continue to depend on the Communist powers for. arms, training, safe haven,
diplomatic and propaganda support. But while these factors are likely to
sustain some degree of cohesion in the WCM, it is equally safe to state that
the traditional"monolithic" character-of the WCM has irrevocably disappeared.
The contradiction between lip service to orthodox internationalism in
doctrine and propaganda, on the one hand, and increasing tactical. adaptation
to national interests (including even "great power chauvinism," at least in
the cases of Russia and China), on the other hand, is likely to increase
steadily. The older the WCM grows, the wider the chasm between its most
advanced (or successful) and its most backward (unsuccessful) components,
the less effective common ideological and historical ties, the more probable
its ultimate splintering into different tendencies-and factions.
