The Sino-Soviet Rupture and the WPC
.On the tenth anniversary of the Korean armistice, Kuo Mo-jo,
a deputy chairman of the Chinese National People's Congress,
launched a strong attack on the test ban agreement at a rally of
13,030 in Peking on 26 July, and confidently predicted that China
would have nuclear weapons "in the not too distant future." Kuo,
who is also a member of World Peace Council (WPC) Presidential
Committee, a WPC vice-chairman of the Peace Liaison Committee for
Asian and African areas, and chairman of the Chinese People's
Committee for World Peace stressed that the attempts of a small
number of countries to control the destiny of the people of the
world by monopolizing nuclear weapons will be "smashed." Instead
of upholding peaceful concepts, as would befit one of the leading
officials in the WPC, Kuo reiterated Mao's thesis "that man is
the decisive factor in any war." Kuo said that the North Korean
people had won their war against the US while the US still had a
monopoly of atomic weapons, testifying to the fact that a new
technique cannot be a decisive factor, in war provided the people
were united, dared to fight and dared to win.
Two days later, the leader of the British Campaign for Nu-
clear Disarmament (CND), hailed the test ban treaty as a great
triumph, brought about by the persistence of the CND. The CND
said that pressure must be kept up to translate this "half step"
into a full step which will eventually lead to universal disarma-
ment.
Kuo's statement conforms with official Chicom reaction to
the test ban treaty. Media outlets should, however, register sur-
prise and indignation about, and condemn as appropriate, these
militant, war-inciting pronouncements by a high ranking WPC offi-
cial. We seek to provoke reactions from WPC-affiliated and sup-
portin; "peace" organizations in attempts to further aggravate
the Sino-Soviet rupture within the WPC. Assets should stress that
membership of the Chicoms, and of those supporting their militant
policies, is incompatible with the professed WPC policies, and,
wherever practicable, should demand the ouster of "warmongers"
like KKuo from leading WPC positions.
Chicoms Continue to Dominate Afro-Asian Conferences
The executive committee of the Afro-Asian Writers Conference
(AAVIC) meeting in Denpasar (Bali), Indonesia from 16 to 20 July
took a clear pro-Chinese stand. A Soviet attempt to unseat the
CPS,-backed Sudanese delegate (A,M. Kheir) in favor of a Sudanese
backed by the Soviets was "unanimously" defeated. Kheir delivered
one of the most aggressive, militant, anti-Western speeches of
the conference, stating inter alia that "those who talk about peace,
about the urgent necessity to avoid the danger of another war at
all costs, without pointing out who is the enemy of peace, without
even mentioning imperialism by name ... are doing nothing but sow-
ing the wind and will reap nothing but the whirlwind."

The Soviets were outplayed y t e sicoms as ey een
at the Afro-Asian Solidarity Conference in Moshi, Tanganyika in
February (see BPG #110, Item 628 dated 25 Feb 63) and at the
Afro-Asian Journalists Conference (AAJC) in Djakarta in April
(see BPG #117, Item 667 dated 3 Jun 63). The resolution adopted
by the AAWC, like those at the AAJC, were a blatant Communist
propaganda show, Chinese-style, almost completely devoid of sub-
stantive content. Again the Indonesian government sponsored,
financed and prominently participated in a vituperative Communist
A ro.Asian affair.
The meeting called for a full Afro-Asian Writers Conference
in 1964, endorsed a second Bandung Conference, and several speak-
ers referred to the need for a tri-continent (Asia, Africa, Latin
Ar:rmerica) Writers Conference.
We use this -- and all similar -- information to stress in
all suitable media that "Afro-Asian solidarity" grotp s of all
kinds are (a) nothing but tools of Communist propaganda and sub-
version, and (b) now also instruments of Chicom intrigues against
the Soviet Union.
Vatican: Marxism and Communism Are "Irreconcilable with Christi-
anity
The official Vatican radio in a commentary on "Principles"
in a broadcast on August 1, took the following strong position
against communism:
"ire is no international situation, no relaxation,
no historical pretext which can justify an indul-
gence, a conciliatory attitude toward Marxism and
communism. There is a infinite number of activities
which communism could extract from its inexhaustible
tactical fantasies to influence the emotion of fear
and draw favorable attitudes which give rise to doubt,
confuse clear thinking, extinguish the instinctive
resistance of every free man, every believer, every
Catholic experience before the Marxist and Communist
ideologies. ...
"Today in the same way as yesterday, without distinc-
tion of geographical coordination or ethnic character-
istics, Marxist communism is the antithesis of Chris-
tianity, the negation of freedom, truth, justice, and
peace. ...
"The judgment and attitude of free men, Catholics
especially, with regard to Marxism and communism can-
not and must not be changed. Intransi Grace is the
only weapon against the Marxism communist ea1a
and the intransigence must be equivalent o the equi-
vocal and subtle tactics of penetration. ..."

PROPAGANDIST' S GUIDE TO COMMUNIST DISSENSIONS
23 July - 5 August 1963
Commentary
Principal Developments:
1. After the fruitless "adjournment" of the Sino-Soviet
ideological talks in Moscow (see last issue of GUIDE), the con-
flict switched rapidly to an overt clash of power politics
over I arushchev's whirlwind negotiation of a nuclear east ban
treaty (see also guidance #685, this issue). Instead of co'
doexistance"" with the "inevitability of nuclear war"
merely in doctrinal terms as heretofore, Moscow proceeds with the
test ban and attempts further understandings with the West, while
trying to maneuver Peking into the unenviable role of "warmonger."
2. The Chinese, especially in a bitter Government statement
of 31 July and a People's Daily editorial of August attacked
the treaty as a -may rau , which did not ban the bomb but
only permitted the "nuclear overlords" to retain their monopoly
and continue to try to enforce their will on the "nuclear slaves+o
in the rest of the world. They not only accused the Soviet
Government of making a ""180-degree about face," "falling on its
knees and capitulating to U.S. Imperialism" and "selling out" the
interests of its own people as well as the rest of the world, but
went on to-bran Soviet policy as "allying" with imperialism to
oppose socialism, and with the U.S. to oppose China.Theyr concluded
by calling for a world conference of all chiefs -57-state to dis-
cuss a total nuclear ban and destruction of weapons. Other
Chinese output during this period -- especially a speech of Chief
of Army General Staff Gen. Lo (see August 2) -- spoke of the
"anti-China chorus" in which the Soviets (by euphemism if not
name joined "with the imperialists and reactionaries of
various countries."
3. The USSR poured out a barrage of material in support of
its position, culminating in a strongly worded 5,000-word Govern-
ment statement dated 3 August. Citing the unanimous, world-wide
approval of the test-ban treaty -- "one can count on the fingers
of one hand those who venture openly to oppose' i#" - the * state-
ment brands as absurd the Chinese charges of "consolidating nuclear
monopoly" and "capitulation,'" and counter-charges the Chinese
with covering up their own refusal to sign a test-ban treaty and
lack of desire to achieve disarmament "with a flashy phrase about
the most radical disarmament measures," an "all or nothing" policy.
The Soviets defend themselves against the ""130-degree about-face'
charge by pointing to the "tremendous changes taking place on
our planet," so that "what was unacceptable only yesterday might
prove useful" today, -- and they ask if "the Soviet Union, as

the nuclear power in the socialist community," 4.: not in a better
pose on to judge on these matters than people who hnow about
nuclear weapons only from literature! They reacted vehemently
to the "betrayal of their own people" charge anc' all but read
the Chinese out of the socialist world. Other Soviet and pro-
Soviet output during this period has repeatedly brought in the
"Trotskyism" charge against the Chinese.
4. News reports from ]iiroshima as the period ended indicated
that the Sino-Soviet/test-ban dispute had already played havoc
with the "Ninth World Congress Against Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs,"
scheduled for 2-7 August, with Sohyo and the JSp having withdrawn
from sponsorship, Soviet-aligned delegates staging walk-outs over
Chinese denunciations of the test-ban treaty, etc.
5. The Chinese issued the first number of a Japanese-
language edition of the Peking Review on I August, and the N.
Koreans inaugurated daily adcasts in Russian on 24 July.
Significance:
The nuclear test-ban issue served to precipitate the Soviet
and Chinese Governments and nations much cIQe; into open political/
propaganda war are against each o er, with each now bluntly accus-
ing the other of serving his own selfish national interests rather
than those of the peoples of the world or the socialist camp.
The Chinese have flatly accused the Soviets of allying themselves
with the U.S. against China, in addition to recklessly bandying
such highly incendiary insults as "falling on their knees before
imperialism" and "selling out the interests of their own people."
They can hardly go further with words. On the other side, the
Soviets have quite convincingly charged the Chinese with hypo-
critically opposing Soviet peace policies, not out of concern for
the socialist camp or world peace, but purely in the interest of
building up their own power position. "For what?" the Soviets
ask effectively. Any remaining tendency to talk about the "common
objectives" of the two has clearly been "atomized."
The futility of Communists trying to keep party relations
separate from state and national relations and interests is clearly
demonstrated in the events of this period, particularly in these
two astonishing state documents issued to the world at large in
the name of the Governments of two major powers, -- the CPR
statement of 31 July and especially the much longer CPSU statement
of 3 August. In some passages the authors are apparently playing
to the grandstand of all peoples on issues which concern all; in
others they seem to be addressing only fellow Marxists-Leninists
in terms of their own esoteric interests; and in others they seem
to be playing directly to their own peoples at home in terms of
national interests. The language and tone are at times arrogantly
self-righteous and self-confident, at times scornfully derisive,

at times defensively reasonable, at times amazingly petulant in
an almost childish manner ("one cannot discover, even with the
help of a microscope, the least trace of respect for sovereignty"),
and always deadly serious.
A. most important development in this exchange of statements
was the Soviet response to the Chinese proposal for convening a
world conference for a total nuclear ban and destruction of
weapons. After stating that the CPR had "evidently" put forth
this proposal because it "understands how unpopular a negative
position" on such an issue is in our time, the Soviets acknowl-
edge that the Chinese proposals are the same as advanced by the
USSR itself on various occasions since th ey go on o curds
Chinese deceitfulness in advancing this "program" to cover up for
their lack of desire to achieve any real disarmament.

Julz 22-25 - Sofia's 1abotnichesko Delo carried a 933-word article
by osta ane, BCP Member ber s nye 19143, comparing the CCI? approach
to war and peace with that of the Trots%yite group of "leftwirng"
Communists who opposed Lenin's peace po c a the time of the
October Revolution. Tru on tHe 23rd and Otechestven Front on the
25th carried articles pegged to the C&U. conference supporting the
Soviet line on "international division of labor" and "socialist
specialization" and sharply rejecting Chinese criticism.
Judy 23-August 3 - NCNA circulated, and People's Daily printed, a
series oAardhitting editorials condemning the Soviets on the
test-ban issue which originally appeared in two Burmese-language
Mandalay newspapers. On 3 August, however, Tasss' u-fated a
Pravda report from Novosti in Rangoon that ""nearly all Burmese news-
papers have published articles welcoming the agreement' (as did
statements of the Government and the Burma Council for Disarmament
and peace) and accusing NCNA of extracting passages from a provin-
cial paper to support its allegation of Burmese opposition. "In
its desire to mislead public opinion, it fabricated a false state-
rment of a very low stamp."
July 24 - Zagreb V'esnik carried an article denouncing the Chinese
leaders who "after~t the victory of the revolution in China, chose
Stalin's path, including the unnecessary victims typical of Stalin's
policy, and are openly defending Stalinist concepts" today. They
"have gradually attacked all sectors of CPSU activity." "paraphras-
ing Trotsky's theses of 'permanent revolution,' the Chinese leaders
introduce a new slogan of the permanen offensive."'
July 24 - The Albanians -- overshadowed during recent weeks by the
;aa v polemics the more important parties -- struck out again
with a 6,330-word Zeri I po ullit editorial extolling the 14 June
CCp latter and attack inng " . , rushchev's revisionist group" in
the most inflammatory terms yet. Khrushchev and company, "plotters,
..~ feeble-minded, liars and slanderers,'" are stabbing the socialist
camp and Communism in the back, are afraid of the truth of Marxism-
Leninism, are causing the degeneration of the party and socialist
state and disarming the workers: the true internationalist "is the
man who fights courageously against the revisionist views and
splitting activities of N. Khrushchev's group."
July 26 - N. Korean President Choe Yong-kon, in a long speech on
awe VISIT to china, gave boundless praise to the CCp and
CPL and supported them on points at issue with the CPSU, -- with-
out naming the latter. "The brilliant successes made by the
Chinese people in socialist construction and the enormous changes
that are being effected in Chinese society clearly demonstrate
the correctness of the policy of the CC??.... We firmly believe
that the Chinese people under the guidance of the CCp will continue
to forge ahead, holding high the three red banners of the general
line, the great leap forward, and the people's communes...."
After claiming that the CPR is "realizing peaceful coexistence

Lenin as expressing the idea that "new inventions in science and
t U-c nology will make the defenses of our country so formidable that
all attacks on it will become impossible." "The wisdom and dialec-
tics of these pronouncements by Lenin differ basically from the
stagnant dogma sm and the lifeless quotation-mongering : Cie
modern Chinese c~iogmatists," etc.
July 2r~ - Pravda featured an article by Comrade Burlatskiy, "Con-
crea nalysis Is One of the Most Important Demands of Leninism,"
which follows the line of the CPSU open letter in attacking the
Chinese for "disregarding any analysis of modern conditions in the
struggle of the world Comaunist movement."
July 25 - The Yugoslav party organ mu at used the test-ban talks
as a peg for further riticism of Chinese policy. The Chinese atti-
tude toward the test-ban efforts "is a picture in minature of the
entire Chinese policy." The Chinese "all or nothing" logic, says
i~omunist, falls to pieces as soon as to premises on which it is
built are analyzed. "Upon the ruins of this bogus logic,, which is
presented as the quintessence of Marxism-Leninism,-there remain only
ps,_ ;doradical phrases and destructive policy, complete absence of a
sense of responsibility, and attempt to smuggle onets own question-
able ambitions... under the cloak of fighting for e Interests o
socialism."' "The real meaning of the 'principled' Chinese offen-
sive is actually capitualtion before difficulties and trials," "a
classic reactionary policy of turning internal dilemmas n o inter-
hational conflicts."
July 25 - The National Executive Committee of the Canadian CP
stated that, despite frequent discussions of the Cposition over
the past 3 years, including "direct negotiations with the Chines:

July 26 - '?ravda published a statement by Franz West, "a member of
the `Austrian s Politburo," which rather cautiously describes the
Austrian Communists as "in full agreement with the Party of Lenin,"
taking "our stand on the basis of the historic lessons and decisions
of the 20th and 22nd CPSU Congresses."
July 23 - Pravda also printed a statement by the Central Secretariat
of the Indian that "the stand of the Indian CP completely coin-
cides wi e stand of the world Communist movement and the CPSU
and is directly opposed to the erroneous views of the CCP leaders"
on "the most important problems" discussed in the 14 June and 14
July letters of the CC? and CPSU, respectively. It "sternly con--
derins the attempts of the CCP leaders to sow racial and religious
discord, to .... incite hatred for the USSR and oche-r {uropean
socialist countries."
July 20-August 2 - The Indonesian CP delegation headed by Chairman
Licit, which arrived in Moscow July on a visit to the CPSU and
the CCU?, was reported by TNCNA as arriving in Havana together with a
Chinese delegation to take part in the Cuban 26 July celebration.

o.-E the "victory of the Korean war," Kuo Mo-jo, Chairman of the
China Peace Committee, attacked Soviet views: "Men are the deter-
mining factors in wars. It is completely wrong to one-sidedly
emphasize technical factors. There are certain sei -s y erxists
today who ve seen fit o drum up the nuclear blackmail policy of
US imperialism in order to intimidate the people of the whole
world.... This is ... a practice of advancing the interests of the
policy of aggression and war of US imperialism."
July 26 - In a further commentary on Chinese criticism of Czech
expu s on of three MCNA correspondents, Rude Pravo, principal news-
paper of the Czech C?', amplifies on the ac v es which brought on

order to deliver or mail the material in remote corners of the

second largest opposition group, declared, according to the Kyodo
agency: "We reject the Mao Tse-tung policy line which even defies
nuclear war and support the more realistic Khrushchev policy line."
Meanwhile, the JCP organ Akahata, which before the agreement was
reached had attacked a partial test-ban treaty as "an attempt to

policy of war and aggression of the imperialist forces," was silent.
Finally, on the 29th it published an editorial acknowledging that
"among the Japanese people there are those hailing the conclusion
of the treaty" as well as "those warning against being overly
optimistic." It notes that "with the Ninth World Conference Against
Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs imminent /cheduled for Hiroshima, 2-7
August7, we are facing a complicate situation.... Japanese reaction-
ary farces /are trying7 to paralyze the force of the people's
ideological struggle." Nowhere in the article, however, is there
even implied criticism of the USSR for its role in the treaty. On
2 August Kyodo reported that the leaders of Gensyuikyo (Japanese
Council Against Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs) met with some of the
foreign delegates in Hiroshima to explain that the Conference could
not begin as scheduled that day because the JSP and Sohyo (TU
Council) were still unable to reach agreement with the JCP: the
former called for "opposing all nuclear tests by any country," but
the Communists strongly opposed such a blanket ban. :?ress reports
from Piroshima on 5 August indicated that the Conference had finally
gotten under way after.:the JSP and Sohyo had withdrawn from it in
protest against Communist domination. Student rioting delayed
opening proceedings 90 minutes. One of the first speakers was the
leader of the Chinese delegation, Chao Pu-chu, who denounced the
test-ban treaty, which "allows the aggressor the right of massacre
and denies the victims the right of self-defense," to an audience
of 15,000. When he denounced "the Russian leader" for making a
film
''~- ,` turn in one year," the Soviet party of 14, led by Pravda
editori writer Yuri Zhukov, walked out, followed by the delegates
from India, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Rumania and Yugoslavia. AP
adds that "most of the persons in the park were obviously pro-
Chinese and gave Chao repeated applause."

es -ban agreement under the heading ""Who Is For; Who Is Against?"
which lumps the Chinese with the "madmen" of the US and Europe who
oppose the ban. "They-brazenly copy the dema oaic argumentation of
French bourgeois propaganda and repeat it word by word.... The
C iinese comrades are indeeZt in unenviable company if they drag
behind de Gaulle in defiance of the clearly expressed will of all
the peoples of the world...." Izvestiya on the same day carried a

a 4,03-word letter in the name of 250 Old Bolsheviks in which they
""proclaim to the world ...that we approve unconditionally and will
irreconcilably defend the theses" of the CPSU open letter and "gully
support the position of our Leninist CC headed by Comrade
11.8. 17.r ushchev. "" Denouncing the Chinese as imitators of Trots.y,
the letter states that it is "especially offensive' a n many
of the theses of the letter of the CC/CC's to our CC, the Trotskyite-
Ot!ovist A-B-C is simply repeated." Also, "Many of us knew Lens n
personally...and we can state in all responsibility that to preach
the idea set out in the letter of the CG/CC?, referring to Lenin,
is sacrilege.""

questions.

past Khrushchev statements opposing a partial test-ban, under the
heading: "Khrushchev's Words Against Underground Tests Still Ring
in One's Ears: Who Is It Who Has Gone to Such Length tO'Strike
Such a Deal' to 'Deceive the Peoples?"" PD's comments on other
statements are similarly reflected in t -Eeadings: i.e., those
from East Europe "Seize a Straw to Trumpet the Victory of Peaceful

Peoples'" from Yugoslavia ""The Tito Group Are Besides Themselves

on to declare that "the policy of an isolated-from-the-world coop-
eration of the socialist countries, of yo-it-alone construction of
socialism, that is advanced by CCP leaders contradicts the objective
laws of development of a socialist society. It leads to the squand

socialist countries the concept of creating self-sufficient national
economics...."
July 31 - Zeri i Popullit (ilbania) editorially denounced the Soviet

cipled concess ons and compromises, but what is more he has openly
collaborated with the imperialists to damage the socialist camp...."

denouncing the test-ban treaty as a "dirty fraud." quoting a 1031
Khrushchev comment opposed to a partial test-ban, it states: "But
now the Soviet Government has made a 130-degree about-face" and has
"sold out" the interests of the Soviet people, the peoples of the
socialist camp and all peace-loving peoples of the world. "The
policy pursued by the Soviet Government is one of allying with the
forces of war to oppose the forces of peace, allying with imper a ism
to oppose socialism, allying with the United States to oppose ina,
and allying with the reactionaries of all countries to oppose the
people of the world.... it is capitulation to US imperialism." The
statement concludes by proposing a conference of the government
heads of all the county es or e wor c o iscuss a four-point
program for "the complete prohibition and thorough destruction of

an d reactions around t e world to the test-ban treaty, under a
banner headline: "This Is No Victory for the Policy of Peaceful
Coexistence; This Is Capitulation to U.S. Imperialism." It also
published extracts from Soviet documents since 1946 "to show how the
Soviet Government retreated step by step on this question until it
fell on its knees and capitulated."

charges that "the a nese Government considers the moment opportune
to pass from the level of ideological differences to a position of
open political hostility toward the Soviet Union." It chides the
Chinese: "It always sounds embarrassing if someone abroad advises
the Soviet Government what is or is not good for the interests of
socialism, ...and it sounds doubly embarrassing if this is done by
people who, without the existence o he socialist Soviet Union and
its Vic in III, would not hold power in their own untry."
It concludes: "In reality, the Chinese proposal Is es fined to

statement by the British saying that the Chinese "sell-out"

August 1 - The first issue of a Japanese edition of the Pei in

Iuo no-jo struck at "those self-styled: creative Marxist-Leninists"
who have "betrayed the interests of the Soviet people and the
people of all countries in the world and have raised their hands in
surrender to U.S. imperialism." On the 2nd, the China Peace
Co niittee "and 13 other national people's organizations of China"
sent a joint message to the Hiroshima conference which included the
charge that the tri-partite partial nuclear test-ban treaty "was an
utter fraud designed to fool the people of the world."

ching, Vice premier and Chief of General S'?~aff, on the 36th anniver-
sary of the fouiiding of the PLA, including his r: marks that "some
people ... had started an anti-China chorus with the imperialists
and reactionaries of various countries," and that the treaty sells
out the interests of peace-loving people. And finally, on this
date letters signed by Chou En-lai were sent to "the government
heads of all countries of the world" calling for a worldwide confer-
ence in accordance with the 31 July CPR statement.
Au.rast 3 - The Soviet Government struck back at the CPR's 31 July
sta ement. The 5,000-word text was published in all Moscow papers
on the 4th, and Pravda and lzvestiya also carried the Chinese state-
ment, "so that a r-Soviet peoplell know hove low the Chinese
leaders have sunk." Stating that the treaty "proves the correctness
and viability of the policy of peaceful coexistence," they describe
its "vrarm support from the governments and peoples of the socialist
states, broad public circles in the countries of Asia Africa and
Latin America, (and) millions of working people oche capitalist
countries, and all progressive people of the world." "The collec-
tive opinion of the socialist countries on the question of cessation
of i nuclear tests is expressed in the decision /-Do date given7 of the
conference of the first secretaries of Communist and workers parties
and heads of government of Warsaw Treaty countries."
,asserting that "the Government of the CPR is trying to com-
plet61y ignore facts known to the whole world," the Soviet statement
presents its version of the USSR's efforts at nuclear control and
disarmament from 1948 on, with the conclusion that "the only rea-
sonable way out is to solve it step by step." It continues: "One
must be absolutely out of touch with realities to advance the
alternative of 'all or nothing' with regard to matters involving
the destinies of the world and the lives of millions of people."
This treaty can be objected to only by people "who cover up with a
flashy phrase about the most radical disarmament measures their
esire to achieve disarmament.
Tackling the Chinese "contrived arguments" to label the treaty
a "fraud," the Soviets ask "Who, then, is actually deceiving the
peoples? .., if the question of who would benefit most by this
treaty is to be raised, would it not be more correct to assume
that ... the Soviet Union, as the nuclear power in the community of
socialist states, is in a better posits n o judge whether the
balance of forces will change or not...? goes not the Government
of the CPR take too much upon itself in drawing conclusions in this
uestion or the Soviet overnmen or he Soviet
nion?
tie sta emen adds, "it is not concern for the defense potential, of
the socialist camp that prompted the statement o the CPR vernment.
What stands behind all this is apparently a desire ... to follow
a special policy on the question of what is to be done about the
most destructive weapons...."
The Soviets brand the Chinese statement as "an unprecedented,
most regrettable act" which "is in gross contradiction to the
common line of the socialist states... and in gross contradiction

19 'd a 1960 -- the leaders of the C?R affixed their signatures....
Thereby, the Chinese leaders openly place themselves in opposition
to the socialist coramonwealth, to the whole world Communist moveaiaent,
to all peace-lovins peoples of Europe, 1,sia and America." Moreover,
it is "one more evidence" of transfer of ideological differences to
Interstate relations.
The Soviet statement then explodes violently over "such impudent
allegations as that ... the Soviet Government "betrayed the interests
of the Soviet people, the peoples of the socialist countries,
including China, and ... the peace-loving peoples of the whole world.'
It is difficult to say what predominates here -- political irrespon-
sibility or irritation of people whose expectations are dashed to
w;rae ground b e itself. Who empowered the vernment to spoak

End the Soviets finally defend themselves against the "100-

changes taking place on our planet," "What was unacceptable o+`~^

'
Diu-r%st 4 - The No. Korean organ Nodong Sinmun finally carried an
e:-51t-o~ a1 condemning the test-ban treaty as contrary to the demand
of the world's peace-loving people" for isolating the test ban from
the outlawing of nuclear weapons, but it is entirely anti-US and
gives not the slightest hint of criticism of the Soviet role or of
the Chinese attacks on it.

pages entiLres aux reactions au traite d'un arret partiel des essais.
Un tiers de sa troisibme page consistait en extraits tires de decla-
rations faites autrefois par Ihrouchtchev s'opposant h un arr$t ;partial
des essais sous 1'en?-tete: "Lea termes querouchtchev a employes
contre lea essais souterrains sonnent encore dans nos oreilles: Qui
s'est donne tent de mal pour 'faire un tel marche' pour 'tromper lea
peuples". Les conmaentaires du "Quotidien du Peuple" au oujet d'au-
tres declarations sont refletes de meme facon dans leurs en-t9tes:
par exemple, ceux de l'Europe Orientale "Se saisissent dune paille
pour claironner la victoire de la lacoexistence pacifique," ceux d'Albanie
disent: "Donner une fausse impression pour tromper lea peuples", ceux
de Yougoslavie: "Le groupe de Tito ne se sent pas de joie", et "Le plus
mauvais service rendu h la paix mondiale"; ce dernier vient d'un
editorial des "Nouvelles du Matin" du Pakistan "qui dit qu'un arret
partial des essais eat tout ce qui pourraitt tEre de plus ridicule."

en juillet soilignait "l'importance critique" qu'il y avait h "appro-
fondir davantage la division internationale et socialiste du travail,
1'elargissement de la specialisation et la cooperation dans la pro-
duction, le developperaent de la cooperation scientifique at technique
et celui du commerce." Citant des noms, it continue en disant que
"la politique dune cooperation des pays socialistes isoles du reste
du monde, dune construction du socialisme qui se fait dans l'isole-
ment, principes preconises par lea chefs du P.C.C., contredit lea lois

3 aoat - Le gouvernement sovietique a repondu au coup de la declara-
tion du 31 juillet de la Republique populaire Chinoise. Le texte de
5.000 mots a ete publA dans tous lea journaux de Moscou le 4 aofit,
et "Pravda" et "lzvestiya" ont aussi public la declaration chinoise
"pour que tout le peuple sovietique puisse savoir combien lee chefs
chinois etaient tomb6s bas." Disant que le traitd "prouve que la po-
liticcjue de coexistence pacifique est correcte et viable'', lee journaux
disent qu'ii est "chaudement appuye par lee gouvernements et lee peo-
ples des pays socialistes, par de noriareux milieux dams lee pays de
1'Asie, de I'Afrique et de 1'Arnerique Latine, (et) par des millions
d'ouvriers ans lee pays capitalistes. L opinion collective des
pays socialistes pour ce qui est de i'arr t des essais nucleaires est
exprir,iee clans la decision [sans date donneej de la conference des
premiers secretaires des partis ouvriers et communistes et des chefs
de gouvernement des pays du Pacte de Varsovie."
Affirmant que "le gouvernement de la R.P.C. est en train d'es-
sayer de passer complitement sous silence des faits connus du monde
entier," la declaration sovietique presente sa propre version des
efforts de 1'U.R.S.S. en ce qui concerne le contr81e nucleaire et le
clLsarnzement depuis 1946, en concluant que la "seule fawn raisonnable
d'en sortir est de rGsoudre le problhme graduelleruent." Elle conti-
nue: "li faut n'etre absolument pas au courant des r6alit6s pour
avancer l'alternative de 'tout ou rien' en ce qui touche aux desti-
nWes du monde et aux existences de millions de gene." Pour s'opposer
ce ?traitK, ii faut des Bens "qui font des phrases tapageuses au
sujet des insures de desarmement lee plus radicales pour cacher
leur manque de preparation ou le fait qu' ils Wont aucun clesir d' ar-
river au desarmement."
S'attaquaii?t aux "arguments inventes" des Chinois pour qualifier
le traits de "fraude", lee Soviets demandent: "Qui alors est vrai-
uent en train de trouper lee peuples? ... Si on en arrive a la ques-
tion de savoir qui va profiter le plus de ce traits, ne serait-il pas
plus correct de supposer que ... l'Union Sovietique, etant la puis-
sance nuc16aire dens la communaute des Etats socialistes est mieux
place pour auger si la balance des forces va changer ou non ...?
Le gouvernement de la R.P.C. ne prend-il pas trop sur soi en tirant
k ce sujet des conclusions pour le gouvernemmnt sov16tique, pour
l'Union Sovietique? ... "Non", ajoute la declaration, "ce n'est
pas parce qu'il s'inquibte du potentiel de defense du camp socialists
que le gouvernement de la R.P.C. a fait la declaration en question,
de quit y a clerribre tout ceci semble Are un desir ... de poursuivre
une poiltique spdciale sur la question de ce qu'on dolt faire au su-
jet des armes lee plus destructives ..."
Les Soviets qualifient la declaration chinoise "d'acte extremement
regrettable et sans precedent" qui est en contradiction flagrante avec
l'attitude commune des Etats socialistes ... et en contradiction
flagrante avec les principes fondarnentaux ... d'aprbs lesquels h

6635. Nuclear Test Ban and Cold War
25X1C1Ob
BACKGROUND: Conclusion of an agreement to ban nuclear tests
in theair,-under water and in outer space by the Soviet, US and
British Governments, accompanied by the prospect of additional
agreements to reduce the threat of general war and to lower inter-
national tensions, while acclaimed by many governments and by a
large segment of world public opinion, is causing two trends of
(mutually exclusive) adverse reactions:
a. The test ban treaty and any subsequent agree-
ments are rejected, primarily because "Communist
governments cannot be trusted" and treaties with them
are therefore a dangerous sel -deception of the free
world (the same opposition, with opposite reasoning,
is voiced by the Chinese Communists: "imperialist"
governments cannot be trusted and Khrushchev is fall-
ing into a US "trap"),
b. The test ban treaty and the hoped-for addition-
al East-West agreements are extravagantly praised as
an "end of the cold war," an interpretation intensively
encouraged by Soviet-Communist propaganda.
Can and Should the Free World Conclude Treaties with Communist
Govermaen s? major unresolved conflicts of-interest exist
Between two or more nations, they can be settled only by negotiation
or by war. Differences between the Free World and the Communist
Bloc are too numerous and too grave to be simply disregarded; nuclea
war is too dreadful in its consequences to be acceptable as a means
of national policy -- it can only be considered as a last means of
defense, after all other attempts to safeguard vital national
interests have failed. Consequently, there can be really no ques-
tion vi h e t h e r to negotiate; the problem is, however, under what
c o n d I t i o n s to deal with Communist Governments.
Least Treaty Experiences. The over-all record of how the Soviet
Union and other Communist governments fulfilled agreements they had
signed is very poor (see, for instance, the unclassified pamphlet
"The Soviet Union*s Treaty Record" -- available in several lan-
guages). Communist Governments have either completely refused to
conclude agreements (e.g. payment of World War Two lend-ease debts),
or have procrastinated for years in order to "wear the other side
down" (e.g. Austrian peace treaty -- over 7 years; Korean armistice
-- 3 years), have often arbitrarily and disloyally misinterpreted
and distorted agreements they have signed (e.g. "free emocra. c
elections" in Eastern Europe; withdrawal of all foreign forces in

Laos) or have directly violated a solemn obligation (e.g. Sovie'`-
Japanese non-aggression pact 0 1941).
Enforceable and Unenforceable Treaties. A Communist Government
-- lice a good many other governments -- W111 be faithful to the
letter and the spirit of a treaty if --
a. the partners are strong and determined enough
to retaliate effectively for violations (the Soviets
observed the non-aggression pact with Japan only as
long as the bulls of the Soviet armed forces was com-
mitted against Hitler);
b. violation would damage the Communists' own
interests (the Chinese Communists pay punctually for
Canadian grain shipments);
c. the language of the treaty is precise enough
to expose violation before the court o word opinion
(the Soviets respected the Berlin air corridors during
the blockade -- the provisions for air access were
technically specific; they violated the Yalta agreement
on free elections in Eastern Europe -- which was vague,
ambiguous and inconclusive).
Charter of the Test Ban Treaty. While the above cited experi-
ences clearly show that smaller and weaker nations should abstain
from even innocuous-look ng trade or cultural agreements, the recent
test ban treaty does n o t involve such risks:
a. The US is capable of retaliating for violations.
b. Soviet violation is against the regime's own
interests. If the Soviet Government would not have
needed the agreement so badly (to prove the merits of
Khrushchev's policy of "peaceful coexistence"; to
reduce defense costs in order to overcome agricultural
and consumer goods bottlenecks; to allay the war fears
of the Soviet population; and to improve the CPSU's
posture against the Chinese), they would not have signed
it so hurriedly, after years of procrastination. Vio-
lation would lead to the resumption of nuclear tests
and be blamed on Moscow.
c. The simple text of the agreement leaves little
space for dangerous equivocation or evasion.
Similar yardsticks will have to be applied to any future agreements
with Communist governments, too.
Is this the End of the Cold War? The conflict between Commun:bt
and non-Communist nations w c as unfolded since the end of World
War Two, basically caused by the intent of the Communists to expand
their dictatorial rule all over the world, is commonly referred to
as the "Cold War." This conflict is n o t resolved or significantly

reduced by a nuclear test ban or even by a whole series of agree-
ments on non-aggression, prevention of surprise attacks and disarma-
ment or arms control. Such agreements merely improve the chance
that the cold war will be decided by means short of general war
(obviously a most desirable objective), but they do not affect all
the other characteristics of the cold war, such as Communist subver-
sion, insurrection, penetration into non-Communist governments'
non-governmen a organizes ions, and so forth. quite apart from
continued violence in areas over which Moscow has apparently lost
control (South Vietnam, Laos, Korea, possible resumption of Chinese
aggression against India, etc.), it would be unforgivably naive to
assume that even a whole series of "peaceful" agreements, signed by
the Soviet Government, would stop Soviet arms shipments to Cuba,
iugypt, Indonesia etc., the training of thousands of "students" from
all over the world for Communist subversion, sabotage and espionage,
or continued Communist attempts to wet-ten and disrupt free-world
unity, freedom and democratic processes.
"Peaceful Coexistence" Is Class Struggle too. Moscowts current
propagan a line suggests that the policy of peaceful coexistence, as
""applied in the test ban treaty and possibly in other subsequent Bast-
West agreements, is putting an end to the cold war. ddowever, the
statement of 61 Communist Parties, issued in Moscow, November 190-9
(and still one of the principal foundations of Soviet-Communist
policies), proclaims explicitly:
'".peaceful coexistence of states does n o t imply
renunciation of the class struggle, as the rev .-
sion s s cam. The coexistence of states with
different social systems is a fora of class
struggle between socialism and capitalism. In
conditions of peaceful coexistence favorable oppor-
tunities are provided for the development o the
class struggles in the capitalist countries and the
national-liberation movement of the peoples of the
colonial and dependent countries. In their turn,
the successes of the revolutionary class and
national-liberation struggle promote peaceful co-
existence.

socialist and bourgeois eo es. On the contrary,
it implies intensification of the struggle of the

The latest official policy statement issued in Moscow, the
Open Letter of the Central Committee of the CPSU, published on
14 July 1963, voices virtually the same interpretation of peaceful
coexistence:

687 a. Trotsky and Chinese Communism
25X1C10b
SACiWROUND: The 14 July CC/C?SU open letter comments on
the a nese charge that the CPSU "comes out in the role of a
helper of imperialism," as follows: "ITo one except Trotsikyists
has yet dared . . . to level such slanderous accusations at the
great party of Lenin!" On 30 July Pravda carried a letter from
243 Old Bolsheviks who compared the nese Communists to Trotsky
and accused them of using Trotsky's tactics as well as his
theories.
Several other Soviet bloc sources have recently published
similar allegations and the Chinese have also been accused of
cwor ing with the Trotskyist Fourth International. This issue is
a difficult one for the Chinese Communists to handle because in
the conflict between Stalin and Trotsky, the China question was
the final and conclusive one which enabled Stalin to obtain
Trotsty',s expulsion from the CPSU Central Committee; it ' was also
an issue on which Stalin, whom the Chinese now defend, was
clearly wrong and Trotsky came probably closer to reality. (See
unclassified attachment for a brief review of the early rela-
tionships between the Soviet and Chinese Communist Parties and
two statements by Trotsky on the China Question of the mid-20's
vantage.) There is no certainty that the course of the Chinese
revolution would have been changed in any significant degree had
the Soviet Party pursued the policy advocated by Trotsky, but
this much is certain: Stalin's policy clearly and cynically put
the Chinese proletariat to the sword and Trotsky must be given
credit at least, in the Chinese eyes, for having opposed that
policy to the extent that he effectively could.
A second aspect the Trotskyist heresy charge that the Chinese
final hard to handle is the fact that they are attacking the Soviet
Union from essentially the same platform that Trotsky attacked
Stalin after he had been expelled from the CPSU and forced into
exile. Trotsky charged that Stalin had betrayed the Revolution,
the workers and the whole world Communist movement; that he had
capitulated to imperialism bectuso he did not have sufficient
faith.in the power of the peoples; that he refused to allow him
(Trotsky) to publicize his point of view in the USSR and to allow
the people to decide for themselves who was right and who was
wrong. The similarity between these charges and those made against
lhrushchev by the Chinese Communists is apparent, and this is not
mere coincidence. Stalin's basic tenet, "Socialism in One Country,"
was built on the idea that Socialism could be built in the USSR
even while capitalist encirclement isolated it as a "Socialist
island in the World Sea." All events and ideas were conceived and,
evaluated in terms of their impact on "Socialism in One Country."
1very Soviet policy and every change in that policy was'designed
to gain time for the building of socialism in the USSR, even if
that meant sacrificing part or even all of the world Communist

Trotsky's basic premise, on the other hand, was "Permanent
Revolution." Revolutions, he said, would continue to break out
in various areas one after the other and the primary function of
the Communist International and the USSR. was not only to support
and abet those, revolutions, but even to foment them. Again, the
similarity between the Chinese Communist position and the view-
point of Trotsky is apparent. There are many other ways in which
the Chinese position parallels "The ul -1eftist Heresy" of
Trotsky including such radical undertakings as the Great Leap
'onward and the Coy munes.

606. United Nations: Critical Issues in the lath General Assembly.
25X1C1Ob
BACKGROUND: Secretary-General U Thant has issued the provi-
siona'l agen or the 18th regular session of the United Nations
General Assembly (UNGA) convening in New Yore on September 17, 1933
Included in its 777iteaas are topics which have been hotly debated
in several recent conferences and meetings around the world as well
as in the special summer session of the UINGA and the current Security
Council (SC) meetings. While this agenda includes a few new sub-
stantive issues -- and more are likely to be raised --, the majority
are well known issues previously discussed in UN bodies. As the
session convenes, however, a new atmosphere, partly to be determined
by the results of the summer's deliberations, will prevail; many of
the basic principles of the organization will be at stake and its
ability to resolve conflicting interests through peaceful, orderly
procedures will be seriously tested.
General Assembly authority and the peacekeeping function. The
speci a1 -session of the UNUti s summer me to discuss the budget
report of its Fifth Cormaittee and successfully hammered out a formula
Of assessments to finance the peacekeeping missions in the Middle
East and the Congo through the balance of 1963. But this was only a
partial and temporary solution to a major political problem affect-
ing the integrity of the UN, namely, acceptance by all members of
responsibility for international action. Many nations have still
not paid their assessments for one or both operations, either becausE
of financial difficulties or because they feel that certain self-
interests are threatened by the precedent of UN action in these
cases. The most extrerae resistance to UN authority is expressed by
the Soviet Union: the USSR is determined that the SC, where it has
a veto, and not the GA, shall control peacekeeping functions.
A showdown was barely prevented In the Security Council this
summer over the critical issue of sending an observer team to Ye-men.
A formula was found which avoided use of UN funds and thus the matter
of SC financial authority -- the USSR abstaining from the affirmativ(
vote. But, since the action taken was of limited nature, the basic
problem may well break into the coring:.EGA session over Yemen.
The UN for many years has acted successfully in situations
which call for "action with respect to threat to the peace, breaches
of the peace, and acts of aggression" (Chapter VII of the Charter),
for example in the Par East (Korea, Vietnam), Africa (Congo), and
the Middle East (Gaza strip between Egypt and Israel, Yemen), among
others. The UN must retain its ability to act in similar situations
with full membership participation. jee BPG #114 item 647
"Financial Crisis Endangers UN Peacekeeping Operations."7 Several
specific items on the provisional agenda pertain to the question of
financing such operations and GA authority over them.

Loss of GA Vote under Article 19. 1caiti avoided having Article
19 invoke By a last- omen paymen of arrears this summer. France
and the USSR will, unless they reduce their debt to the U14, be in a
position where loss of vote under Article 19 will be applicable. The
US and others interpret the Article to be automatic in application;
but the USSR, also with some support, insists that a vote of the GA
is required to declare a member to be in two-years' arrears -- the
condition which brings about loss of voting rights in the GA.
It is in the interest of the less developed countries (LUC) to
maintain as much authority as possible in the Assembly where their
influence can be felt (African nations control 33 of the 111 votes
in the GA in contrast to the minority status of a combined C vote
in any of the other bodies). But many of them appear reluctant to
assume responsibility for withdrawing voting rights from a major
power lest they find themselves in a similar predicament at some
later time. Their personal fears should-.be but are not necessarily
quieted by a contingency clause in the Article which reads:
"The General Assembly may, nevertheless, permit such a
Member to vote if it is satisfied that the failure to
pay is due to conditions beyond the control of the Member."
If action on Article 19 should become necessary at the forthcoming
session, it would undoubtedly involve the question of GA authority
to assess members for peacekeeping operations.
3qual Representation in UN Organs. Membership on the major UN
bodies -- the , , and the international Court of Justice
(ICJ) -- was determined on the basis of proportion to area member
representation in the UK itself. Zighteen Latin American nations
placed the question of enlarging the membership of these bodies on
the agenda of the 11th session of the GA in 1956. The issue has
been raised repeatedly since that time as the membership continued
to grow, and the African nations will urge its solution at the coming
session. The Soviet Union has consistently opposed the expansion of
these bodies, demanding that Communist China be seated first; the
US has consistently favored it and will support the right of the
newer UN4 members to proper representation.
Self-determination, colonialism and racialism. While attention
will focus In the coming session on the hotly debated, emotion-
ridden conflicts over Portuguese colonies and South African racial-
ism, their basic problems are integral parts of many other self-
determination issues which will be raised over, for example, South-
West Africa, Southern Rhodesia, perhaps Nest Irian, Malaysia and
;many of the non-self-governing territories. A turning point for
many nations and particularly the LUC, may well be reached in their
confidence in, and willingness to submit their problems to, UN
procedures and principles.
African nations have acted precipitously in several internation-
al and UN meetings this summer, seeking to solve their problems by
mandatory acts and expulsion of member nations with *hose policies
they disagree. The influence of moderate African leaders with

For their part, the restern nations most seriously concerned
in these problems must accept the strong force of change for self-
determination in Africa and elsewhere; they must seek new forms of
political relations which will satisfy the national aspirations of
the C while forging new ties which rill promote their own economic
interests. There are many solutions to these problems such as those
the US has found in the Philippines, Hawaii and Puerto Rico, as
France was forced to discover in Algeria and evolved in the Common-1
wealth relationship of the French Coamaaunity, and as England has
demonstrated in one for-,ter colony after another. Portugal, with
regard to Angola, MozaLnbique and Portuguese Guinea, and others,
eventually will have to accept some one of these roads to self-
determ:iination.
South Africa continues to be intransigent in the refusal of
the government to discuss any of its problems and in its boycott
of UIT meetings. The US expressed its unequivocal support for self-
determination of African peoples in joining the 9-0 Security Council
vote on 7 August for a total arms embargo against the Republic of
South Africa, Ambassador Yost spoke strongly against the racial
discri:.aiination which caused the arms embargo, closing his August 7
speech by urging the South African Government to abandon its
"indefensible and dangerous racial policy."
A previous session of the GA declared the situations in South
Africa and in the ?Portuguese colony to be "a threat to the peace."
Free y''orld interests are served through the overriding formula of
moderation -- by prolonging the period of dialogue, persuasion and
pressure as long as possible, and by providing voluntary sanctions
by member nations under Article VI. The specter of serious politi-
cal and economic consequences will, in the long run, aid in solving
problems through negotiation. In this same context, increasing
African attitudes of racial discrimination in reverse, that is of
blacis against whites in pursuit of national aspirations, can best
be treated by similar persuasion and pressures.
International peace and disarmament questions. The tripartite
test ban treaty will undoubtedly se a frame of reference for
renewed discussions on disarmament and abolishment of nuclear war-
fare. Without doubt the Soviet Bloc will continue the cold war in
one manner or another; it will use every occasion as a propaganda
platform to propose appealing but generalized resolutions without
effective implementation. Although denuclearized zones is on the
agenda specifically only with respect to Latin America (and this
will raise questions about Cuba as well as the Panama canal zone),
there is every reason to believe that some member, if not the USS,
will raise it with regard to the Mediterranean, and perhaps also
Africa. Some eight items are already on the provisional agenda
crith regard to every aspect of disarmament, atomic power, and
banning nuclear warfare.

25X1 C 163 AF, 77114.a. Communists and Race Conflicts
DACICCROUND: Although on several occasions in the recent Past
the U3152 has alluded to Chinese racism (speaking of those who would
replace class contradictions with contradictions of nationality,
color or geography), the 14 July CPSU letter accuses the Chinese
for the first time directly and publicly of racism: "The leader
of the Chinese delegation /to the Moshi, Tanganyika Conference7
told the Soviet repre:enta''ives, 'Whites have nothing to do here."'
Also, at the Djakarta journalist's conference, the Chinese stated
explicitly: "the Soviet Union is not an Asian country."
Attempts to classify human beings according to race are com-
plicated by the fact that everyone (including the professional
ethnologist) has his own criteria. As used in popular speech the
term race usually includes in addition to ethnic origin such varied
characteristics as color, physical type, nationality, culture or
any co_ibiuation of these. UNESCO recognizes three basic human
divisions: Caucasoid, Mongoloid and Negroid. Since man seems to
have an innate ambivalence toward his fellow human (particularly
if the latter happens to differ from himself in feature, color,
lan,Sua;e, or even eating habits), prejudice and discrimination have
been concomitants of human society and human intercourse since time
i i uemorial. Discrimination has only too often been used to ration-
alize aggression, colonialization and exploitation. The ancient
Creels referred to non-Greeks as "barbaroi" (foreigners), in a
definitely prejudicial sense; and the Spanish conquistadores ration-
alized their maltreatment of the American natives with the theory
that Indians, being of an entirely different origin than Spaniards,
were not human in the same sense and therefore did not need to be
treated as a fellow Spaniard.
In our era, the West has borne the brunt of the reaction to
"racial discrimination." However, the West did not invent race
prejudice; many other societies (including Vedic India and Confucian
China) had known it long before and had no thought of eliminating
it. /ee BPG #117 Item 664 "American Struggle For Negro Equality.7
In the modern era, however, the West has been the dynamic, active
element while the non-West has been acted upon and has 're-acted'
to Western stimuli,, During this period, Africans and Asians
reacted not only to Western domination per se but particularly to
the racial discrimination involved. The non-West in general made
a very natural identification of West -- affluent -- white --
omnipotent, as opposed to themselves as weak -- colored and exploftc
For ancient civilizations like China and India, the young aggres-
sive ,last was particularly intolerable. The phenomenon of discrim-
ination, old in origin and ubiquitous in practice, thus came to be
identified in the modern era almost exclusively with one ethnic
division, the Caucasoid, and with one geographic division, Western
Europe (and subsequently the United States),

While Marxist doctrine stresses the identity of interests 0-
the worker as transcending nation, color or creed, Soviet Marxists
have exploited racial tensions in non-Communist countries to further
alienate and embitter minority groups in the hope of increasing
their own haul from these troubled waters. This tactic has become
so ingrained that one could easily conclude that the masters of
Soviet Russia have been more concerned with advancing their own
national interests by ascerbating racial problems than in further-
ing the original Marxist goal of the international brotherhood of
wox ers. ,This Is the charge which they level at the CCP when they
say the CHninese have "other goals which have nothing in common with.
revolution."7 It is a fundamental tenet of Marxism that basic
contradictions in a given society result from class differences and
not from differences of race, nation or culture. As we know from
the 14 July letter, which accuses the Chinese of substituting racial
struggle for class struggle, as well as-from a number of other
recent pronouncements (see Bi-Weekly Propaganda Guidance item 659
entitled "Race Motive in Chinese Foreign Policy"), the Soviet Union
has had cause to remind their former Chinese allies of these facts
more frequently of late.
The Chinese Communists, in their attempt to replace the USSR
as the supporter and defender of the underdeveloped, are increasin .
basing their appeal on underdeveloped vs. overdeveloped, East vs.
West and colored vs. white. The confluence of this Chinese propa-
ganda line with the genuine, if obsolescent resentment of the former
colonial nations at what they consider to be a unique example of
discrimination calls up the specter of a world divided along lines
of geography, race and color, divisions which are undoubtedly more
closely related to recent history and therefore potentially far
snore : plosive than the more artificial class divisions. In fact,
however, the Chinese record on racism is worse if anything than
that of other modern societies. The Han Chinese have traditionally
regarded with scorn other ethnic groups whether in greater China,
in Asia generally or even in Europe and Africa. The Mongolians,
for example, have long been concerned over Chinese attitudes of
aggressive superiority as have the North Vietnamese. A spate of
recent reports indicate that the Chinese have not changed despite
the equalitarianism and internationalism of the Communist doctrine
they purport to have adopted. Students from Africa and Latin
America studying in China complain that they are looked down upon,
separated from their hosts and prevented from making friends with
them, that they are constantly subjected to Chinese surveillance
and propaganda. There are also credible reports to the effect that
street fights have recently broken out between Chinese and African
students and that many of the latter have gone home in disgust.
Although in talking to the non-aligned nations, the Chinese
will stress the ultimate triumph of the underdeveloped, exploited
colored races of the world over the "over-developed," "exploiting"
white, we know that in the final analysis when they spoa!r of the
past wind prevailing over the West wind, they really mean the
millenial victory of the Han Chinese over the rest of the world.

Id ntification "solidarity") on the basis of race and
geography is the main weapon used by China in its concerted drive
to wrest control of international front organizations from the
CP~SU. The Afro-Asian Peoples Solidarity Organizations (AAPSO),
with its network of sub-organizations and conferences for writers,
workers, journalists and similar groups, is the CCIP's chosen
instrument for competing wit h the whole range of Soviet interna=tional fronts. Ironically, it was the Soviet Union which originally
recognized the potential of the AAPSO, tried to link it, falsely,
with the Bandung Conference, and competed with several neutral
leaders, espetially Nasser, for influence over it. During the
last several years the CC? has increasingly challenged the Soviet
Union's right to membership in AAPSO conferences and more recently
has blatantly used racist arguments to effect their exclusion.
More serious, for Soviet -worldwide influence, is the CCP attempt
first to wean Afro-Asian organizations and groups away from Soviet-
controlled international fronts, and second to sever ties between
AAPSO member groups and Soviet fronts. Representatives of Soviet-
controlled international fronts have not been welcomed at AAPSO
gatherings, and Soviet offers to establish formal links between
counterpart groups (e.g. the Afro-Asian journalists and the
International Organization of Journalists) have been rejected.
The Soviet Union, while condemning the Chinese Communists for
undermining the class struggle by the interjection of racial
divisions, has itself been guilty of discriminatory practices.
Domestically it has long discriminated against the Jews, attacking
them for their religious practices and persecuting them for their
economic, social and political activities. In dealing with foreign
nationals, the Soviet Union and Bloc countries have established
a new record for discrimination against Africans. Evidence has
mounted of the Soviet bloc segregation, huomili ion, and harsh
physical treatment meted out to these students. African students
in Bloc countries, individually and in groups, and their govern-
ments have violently protested the intolerable conditions to which
they are subjected /See PROP NO1 18 (B) of 29 May 1963 "Foreign

25X1C 10b689. '"',g Pakistan on the Tiger's Back
BACKGROUND: During 1963 Pakistan, disturbed by India's grow-
ing military strength, chose to modify the exclusiveness of her
thirteen-year alliance with the West, seeking closer relations
with Communist China. Pakistan's apparent goals are two: pressure
the Western powers into either reducing military aid to India or
increasing such aid to Pakistan; strengthen her own international
position by playing both sides of the cold war.
President Ayub, a former General, and the top military leaders
of Pakistan have exhibited growing frustration over their inability
to halt the arming of India following the Chinese attack of October
1962. Claiming that the US--UK agreements to supply arms aid to
her traditional enemy have upset the delicate balance of power
in the subcontinent, Pakistan is turning to India's enemy in a
calculated effort to redress the balance. Concurrently, Pakistan
asserts that India and the other nations which remained aloof
from commitment to the fight against communism have fared better
at Western hands than those who allied themselves unreservedly
with the U.S.
Although many Pakistanis may recognize the long-range danger
of communism and its total incompatibility with their own beliefs
and traditions, this rational understanding is often outweighed
by their emotional reaction to everything Indian.
Pakistani-Indian Enmity. The primary motivating force of
political life in Moslem Pakistan is fear and hatred of Hindu
India, the giant neighbor from whom she was separated in 1947 in
an internecine blood bath which followed Great Britain's departure
from the subcontinent. This intensely emotional attitude, the
result of several centuries of conquest, strife and discrimination,
is the guiding fact of all foreign relations and the sine qua non
of domestic political qualifkations. Disputed Kashmir-"is the con-
crete evidence as well as the symbolic reminder of their differ-
ences. No amount of US-UK prodding and encouragement of either
Pakistan or India has produced progress toward settlement despite
repeated talks on the problem. Pakistan believes that Western
aid to India should be prodicatod on India's coming to terms on
Kashmir. (Copies of BPG #112, Item 639, "The Kashmir Question,"
are available on request).
Because they always see India as the villain, the Pakistanis
fail to take an objective look at Chinese expansionist moves,,
not only the military incursion across Indian border areaz and
throughout Tibet but the subversive efforts in Nepal. They prefer
to believe that the Chinese pjc3 no further threat to India and

therefore any US-UK military assistance to India beyond the Nassau
agreements is not only unnecessary but positively hostile. Since
Pakistan believes that Indian arms will inevitably be used against
Pakistan, guarantees that US weapons would not be so used, have
little weight.
Pakistan and the West. Pakistan has regional defense agree-
ments wi h urtey, mutual defense agreements with the US and has
been a supporter of NATO policies. She is a member of both SEATO,
the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization, and CWTO, Central Treaty
Organization; both were formed as protection against Communist
expansion. Her political structure and economic growth have been
stimulated and assisted by Western aid. For the past 10 years
the US alone has granted Pakistan extensive foreign aid ($403
million in grants and credits for 1962 fiscal year) as well as
military assistance.
In her pique over assistance for India, Pakistan seems willing
to imperil her relationship with the U.S. by deliberately drawing
closer to a major enemy of the treaty powers. On January 6th
President Ayub said the future role of Pakistan in CENTO and SEATO
was "quite uncertain." His Foreign Secretary Dehlavi had expressed
similar sentiments earlier in Rome when he said that his country
could .;;Athdraw from the pacts the "day we feel they are of no use."
Pakistan and China. The year 1963 opened with completion of
the first s an- na trade agreement, on January 2nd, and was
followed by Pakistan's acceptance of China's well-timed offer to
come to agreement on their common border. Foreign Minister Bhutto
travelled to Peking to sign the border agreement in January. Their
joint communique reflected both Pakistan's preoccupation with an
Indian threat and China's desire to appear as the peaceful neighbor:
they expressed hope for settlement of the Sino-Indian border
differences by similar negotiations. (For details of Indian and
Chinese positions on the Colombo powers' proposal for negotiations
over the disputed territory, see BPG #115 of 6 May 1963, "Con-
tinuing Chinese Threat of Expansionism"). The settlement was well
received in Pakistan and China's motives went unquestioned, although
it might have been noted that the Chinese move immediately preceded
scheduled India-Pakistan discussions on Kashmir and followed
similar amicable border settlements with other Indian neighbors --
each hailed by the Chinese as evidence of her peaceful intentions
toward her neighbors. A typical comment, from a vernacular paper,
Millat, that the settlement was a "blow to the enemies of Pakistan;
suggests the general press reaction, including the studied in-
difference to the effect of the settlement on the Western friends
of Pakistan.
In June Pakistan announced an air service agreement with
Peking which gives Pakistan landing rights in Canton and Shanghai
in exchange for similar Chinese rights in Karachi and Dacca.

The agreement has not yet been signed but Pakistan appears
determined to proceed with it.
Foreign Minister Bhutto has publicly called for closer rela-
tions with China although aware that such moves are contrary to
the policies and interests of Pakistan's Western and Middle Eastern
allies. Rumors that the two countries will sign (or have already
signed in secret) a non-aggression pact were strengthened by
Bhutto's warning to India on July 17th that an attack on Pakistan
would pose a serious threat because "the largest state in Asia"
would help Pakistan. In the same speech he admitted that the West
had agreed to come to Pakistanis assistance in the event of In-
dian aggression but also announced rethinking of Pakistan's foreign
policy.
The Pakistan press, paced by the militantly anti-West daily
Dawn, is increasing its anti-American tirades as it warms to China.
Cordiality toward all things Chinese, from touring sports teams
to diplomatic agreements, is widespread. The position of the
politically powerful military establishment on the new look in
foreign policy is considerably more reserved. East and West
Pakistan, divided by many regional, tribal and economic problems,
but united by their fear and antipathy toward India, generally
agree with the central government's seeking an independent road

Communist China
The open letter (published in Pravda and broadcast by TASS
in English to Europe on 13 July) fromtie Central Committee of
the Communist Party of the Soviet Union to all party organizations
and all Communists of the Soviet Union, a propaganda piece that
obviously attempts to cast the USSR in the best possible light,
contains the following statement on Soviet support to Communist
China's industrialization:
"...Our country has rendered and is rendering substan-
tial aid to the development of the economy of People's
China. With the assistance of the Soviet Union, People's
China built 193 industrial enterprises, shops and other
projects equipped with up-to-date machinery... Now the
Soviet Union continues rendering technical assistance to
the CPR in the construction of 88 industrial enterprises
and projects..."
As a matter of fact, at the time of the withdrawal of the
Soviet technicians in the summer of 1960, roughly one-half of the
291 Soviet-aid projects scheduled to be built during the period
1950-67 had been completed and the withdrawal of the Soviet teh-
nicians was in effect a cancellation of most Soviet support to the
remaining projects. Shipments of equipment for complete plants
without the technicians to install the equipment would in most
cases be of little use to the Chinese.* The remaining Soviet
technical assistance to China is limited to the supply of technical
information, small amounts of equipment, and the training in the
USSR of Chinese students.
The Soviet statement quoted above does not alter the facts.
The figures 198 and 68 for industrial projects misrepresent the
past and current Soviet support to China's industrial development.
In 1930, the USSR stated that 130 projects had been fully or par-
tially completed by the end of 1959. A Soviet statement on 14 Feb-
ruary 1962 claimed that "...about 170 industrial enterprises and
other units were built and put into operation in the CPR with help
from our motherland...With assistance from the Soviet Union, large
shops and aggregates, turning out finished items, have been put
into operation at 33 Chinese enterprises..." It is probable that
the 198 figure claimed by the USSR, which refers to "industrial
enterprises, shops, and other projects," represents a gross count
similar to the 203 (170 plus 33) in the 14 February 1962 statement.
In 1961, owever, China continued to import equipment for
complete plants amounting to about $80 million. The Soviet open
letter speaks of a reduction of "40 times" in the past three years
in the rate of deliveries of complete plants, a figure that sug-
gests that deliveries of complete plants in 1962 were about $10
million, compared to a peak of $400 million in 1959.

Approved For Release 1999/08/24: CIA-RDP78-03061A0002000207-2
An extremely rough calculation based on Sovi et data on deliveries
of equipment for complete plants in 1938-31 suggests that an addi-
tional 30 to 43 enterprises may have been at least partially com-
pleted during 1960-31, making the figure of 173 enterprises plausi-
ble.
Because of the withdrawal of Soviet technicians and of the
extremely small amount of Soviet equipment for complete plants
currently being purchased by Communist China, the technical assist-
ance that the USSR claims to be furnishing China in the construc-
tion of 88 industrial projects must be very limited. At the maxi-
mum, this technical assistance must be of the blue print-technical
data type being furnished for a steel plant at Pao-ttou and that
embodied in the Soviet equipment currently received. And, at the
miniuuri, the reference is probably to no more than the mere fact
that the USSR has not formally cancei1e1 the agreements signed in
the period 1953-59.

When the Chinese Communist Party, consisting of some 83 or 70
loosely organized Communists, democratic socialists and anarchists,
convert its first ?arty Congress In July 1921 and started to build
an organization and formulate a program, the Soviet Communist ?arty
urged it to seek a rapprochement with Sun Yat-sen's Kuomintang.
At the time, Sun Yat-sen was eager for an agreement with the Soviet
Union to strengthen his hand against the Western imperialists. His
price was that the Communists refrain from open criticism of
Kuomintang (KMT) policy and agree to observe KMT discipline; the
penalty for infractions would bg expulsion of the Communists from
the KMT and annulment of the agreement with the Soviet Union.
These were the circumstances that made the Chinese Communist Party,
in its early days, a pawn between the Soviet Union and the KMT. BY
1924 the Chinese Communists had, against their own wishes, joined
the 0&T as individual members and were working toward its objectives
and submitting to its discipline.
In March 1926 Chiang Kai-shek carried out a coup in Canton and
rAmmediately arrested the army commissars (most]) unists) attached
to his troops and confined his Soviet advisors-,to their quarters.
The Cantonese Branch of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) reacted
sharply, recommended a break with the KMT and asked for permission
to adopt offensive tactics against the KMT. Such a plan, however,
conflicted with Stalin's evaluation of the "historical situation"
and he "convinced" the Cantonese comrades to continue as before,
Chiang Kai-shek barred Communists from high posts in the NUT, banned
criticism of Sun Yat-sen's political philosophy, and demanded that
the CC? Central Committee submit a list of all Communist Party
members who had joined the KMT. Pressured by Stalin'6 Soviet ad-
visors, the Chinese Communists agreed to these terms, Once Chiang
had secured his power in Canton, he apologized to the Soviet advisors
reinstated them, and told the Chinese Communists that the whole
episode had been a regrettable error, staged without his knowledge.-
Stalin continued his policy of supporting Chiang Kai-shek.
the CCP Central committee adopted a resolution
In July 1926
,
demanding that the KHT be transformed into a federated organizations
allowing the Communist Party to regain its independence and some
freedom of action, This resolution lived only until a copy of it
arrived in Moscow where Stalin vetoed it. The resolution was dan-
gerous to Stalin: its demands were almost identical to the charges
that Trotsky was making against Stalin's policies in China; it also
implied that Chiang could not be trusted and that his KMT was domi-
nated by the bourgeoisie,
Chiang carried out a second anti-Communist coup in March 1927,
this time in Shanghai where the workers had rebelled, overthrown
the old administration, and taken control of the city. Once again,.
Chen Tu-hsiu, leader of the Chinese Communists, appealed to Stalin
for permission to disentangle themselves from the KMT. Once again
the request was denied and the Communists gave up their weapons and
surrendered. to Chiang's troops. Three weeks later Chiang ordered a

Lro sky opposed Stalin s policy, particularly after early 1926,
and did what he could to force a policy revision to free the Chinese
Communists from their bondage to the KMT and allow them to prepare
themselves to take a leading role in the Chinese revolution.
Trotsky's position was weakened not only because he was effectively
out of power, but also by the fact that Soviet policy toward the
Chinese revolution had become a symbol of the over-all struggle for
power between Stalin and Trotsky. Stalin could not concede that he
had mistakenly evaluated the situation in China without allowing
Trotsky back into power. The Trotsky opposition's attack on Stalin's
alliance with Chiang Kai-shek only made Stalin defend Chiang more
blindly; and Chiang, aware of the situation, used it to his advan-
tage and to the extreme disadvantage of the Chinese Communist Party.
It is ironical that the Chinese leaders now find themselves the
main defenders of Stalin, the man who cynically sacrificed them in
vain for what he considered Russia's interests and in his own per-
sonal struggle against their defender, Leon Trotsky.
The following quotations are from Leon Trotsky's analysis of
Soviet Russia's China policy as he presented it in two books, The
permanent Revolution, and M' Life.
/from Permanent Revolution, page 30.7 "Under the pretext that
China stood`before a. national revolution, the leading role was allot-
ted to the Chinese bourgeoisie in 1924. The party of the national
bourgeoisie, the Kuomintang, was officially recognized as the lead-
ing party. Not even the Russian Mensheviks went that far in 1905
in relation to the Cadets (the party of the liberal bourgeoisie).
"But the leadership of the Comintern did not stop at this. It
obligated the Chinese Communist Party to go into the Kuomintang and
subordinate itself to its discipline. Through special telegrams of
Stalin, the Chinese Communists were urged to curb the agrarian move-
ment. The mutinous workers and peasants were prohibited from form=
ing their own Soviets in order not to alienate Chiang Kai-shek,whom
Stalin defended against the Oppositionists as a "reliable ally" at
a party meeting in Moscow at the beginning of April 1927, that is,
a few days before the counter-revolutionary coup d' etat in SKaii aL
"The official subjugation of the Communist Party to the bour-
geois leadership and the official prohibition to form Soviets was a
grosser and more crying betrayal of Marxism than all the deeds of
the Mensheviks in the years 1905-1917.
"After April 1927, the Chinese party was ordered to go into the
"Left" Kuomintang and to subordinate itself to the discipline of the
Chinese Kerensky instead of preparing open warfare against him. The
"reliable" Wang Chin-wei crushed the Communist party together with
the workers' and peasants' movement no less criminally than Chiang
Kai-shek , whom Stalin had declared as his reliable ally.
"When the Mensheviks supported Miliukov in 1905 and afterwards,
they nevertheless did not enter the liberal party. When the Men-
sheviks went hand in hand with Kerensky in 1917, they still retained
their own organization. The policy of Stalin in China was a wretcrsrl

~~its inev table fruits had appeared complete decline of
the wormers' and peasants' movements, demoralization and decay of
the Communist party, the leadership of the Comintern gave the com-
mand: "Left about face!" and demanded the immediate armed uprising
of the workers and peasants. In this way, the young, oppressed and
mutilated Communist party, which only yesterday was the fifth wheel
in the wagon of Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Chin-wei, and consequently
did not possess the slightest political experience of its own, was
handed the order to lead the workers and peasants whom the Comintern
had held back up to yesterday in the name of the Kuomintang -- in ai:.
ariaed insurrection against the same Kuomintang, which had in the
meanwhile found time to concentrate the power and the army in its
hands. In the course of twenty-four hours a fictitious Soviet was
improvised in Canton. The armed insurrection, timed in advance for
the opening of the Fifteenth Congress of the Communist party of the
Soviet Union, constituted simultaneously an expression of the hero-
ism of the vanguard of the Chinese proletariat as well as of the
crime of the Comintern. Lesser adventures preceded the Canton up-
rising and followed it. That is what the second chapter of the
Chinese strategy of the Comintern looked like, a strategy that can
be characterized as the most malicious caricature of Bolshevism.
.5irom My Life, page 529.7 "The epigones' leadership in China
trampled on all tCie traditions of Bolshevism. The Chinese CommunistE
party was forced against its will to join the bourgeois Kuomintang
party and submit to its military discipline. The creating of
Soviets was forbidden. The Communists were advised to hold the
agrarian revolution in check, and to abstain from arming the workers
without the permission of the bourgeoisie. Long before Chiang Kai-
shek crushed the Shanghai workers and concentrated the power in the
hands of a military clique, we issued warnings that such a conse-
quence was inevitable. Since 1925, I had demanded the withdrawal
of the communists from the Kuomintang. The policy of Stalin and
Bukharin not only prepared for and facilitated the crushing of the
revolution but, with the help of reprisals by the state apparatus,
shielded the counter-revolutionary work of Chiang Kai-shek from our
criticism. In April, 1927, at the party meeting in the Hall of
Columns, Stalin still defended the policy of coalition with Chiang
Kai-shek and called for confidence in him. Five or six days later,
Chiang Kai-shek drowned the Shanghai workers and the Communist party
in blood."
