AND HIS GANG AT THE U. .
WHAT THE DICTATORS
ARE UP TO IN NEW YORK
What, really, has brought Khrushchev and his gang to New York? A
try for peace? No sign of that. An attempt to frighten U. S.? Only in pert.
What then? It's a try for a big conquest-the United Nations itself.
NEW YORK
KHRUSHCHEV'S GANG Of Red dictators,
invading New York, is making a play
to capture eventual control of the United
Nations.
The New York headquarters of the
U. N., where Communists enjoy the same
privileges as non-Communists, has long
been a major base of operations for Reds
within the United States. Here is an in-
ternational zone offering advantages to
Communist agents which far transcend
even the privileges of Communists in
the embassies of Washington.
All of a sudden, the dictators of the
Communist world have moved into New
York in person to exploit their advan-
tages to the fullest.
Communists pay few of the bills of
the United Nations, use what they like
of the U. N. facilities for international
action, ignore as they choose the respon-
sibilities of membership.
In the Congo, Khrushehev has just
tried to promote another "Korea"-using
Soviet planes, "technicians," Communist
arms and Communist threats to stir up
a real war, to trip up the United Nations
military force trying to restore order in
that African land.
Aim: a "captive" U. N. Within the
United Nations itself the Soviet Union
has used its veto power on 86 occasions
to hamstring any effective operation of
the Security Council, officially the di-
recting body of the U. N. By this method
the Communists have thrown real con-
trol of the U. N. into the General As-
sembly.

lug a play to impress the "nonv,hite" na-
tions-the countries of Asia and Africa
which have just emerged, are emerging or
will emerge from colonialism. TIic Soviet
dictator is out to make even,i issue a
colonial issue, with the Reds on the side
of the "anticolonials" and the U. S. on
the side of the "imperialist powers."
Backdrop: outer space. In addition,
Khrushchev will be boasting of his rockets
and his exploits in space-of his "man
in space" if he can get one there and
bring him hack alive while the Assembly
is in session. As the Soviet dictator and
his Red henchmen crossed the Atlantic
en route to New York, Soviet recovery
ships were moving into position for
monitoring a new space shot.
To impress the new nations, Khru-
shchev has ordered every one of the Red
dictators whose countries are members to
joie him at the United Nations Assembly.
"Though some of these dictator4 had not

that the world offers no vehicle for propa-
ganda that even approaches that ac-
corded by the United Nations-thanks,
in considerable part, to the U. S.
To magnify Communist boasts, here
are the klieg lights, the television cam-
eras and networks, the powerful radio
stations and networks, the cables and
telephones that carry words and pictures
and voices to every part of the globe.
Nothing like this is to be found else-
where in the world.
What the Red dictators have to say
can here be said against the background,
dignity and prestige of an assembly of
the world's nations. In addition, at the
U. N., Communist dictators who treat
the U. S. as their major enemy can say
what they like from a metropolis of sky-
scrapers-symbol of U. S. power.
Procedural rules at the Assembly, de-
signed for the responsible delegates of
the responsible governments of the world,
are a propaganda plaything for the Com-
munist dictators.
"Late-late show": Castro? There is
no real limitation to the time that each
chief delegate of a country can speak in
the Assembly. Each reserves a specific
time, but there is no guarantee that a
speaker may not talk overtime. If he does,
nobody can stop him. Fidel Castro, for
example, can rant on for hours as he
often does in Cuba.
Khrushchev himself has promised to

disarmament, "peace" and, he has in-
dicated, Soviet power.
There are 85 items now on the U. N.
agenda and most of these will give the
Red dictators opportunities for propa-
ganda speeches. Some, however, are on
the agenda because the U. S. and its
allies put them up for discussion.
The Western Allies want free and
full discussion, for example, of the reign
of terror in Hungary as carried out by
Janos Kadar. Kadar, one of the Red dic-
tators at the U. N., traveled with Khru-
shchev aboard the Baltika as a trusted
companion and friend.
Khrushchev has already used propa-
ganda opportunities. He had his aides
ask the U. N., for example, to guarantee
that lie would get "maximum security
protection" in New York City and yet
be free to travel around the metropolitan
area-farther if he liked. The U. S. Cov-
ernment, so informed by the U. N., said
that Khrushchev could get "maximum
security" only if he remained on the
island of Manhattan.
Manhattan Island contains the major
hotels, theaters, restaurants, night clubs,
business offices and the great majority
of official residences and headquarters of
the U. N. delegations, including those of
the Soviet delegation.

however, protested in an attitude of in-

NEWS FROM THE CAPTIVE EMPIRE
As Communist dictators meet in New
York, what about things back home'? Are
the dictators secure, their people happy?
A Western authority, just back from a
Q Would you say that the 100 million people of East-
ern Europe are lost by the free world to the Communists?
A By no means. But I think you must distinguish be-
tween those countries that I would call "noneruptible"
satellites and those that could be described as "eruptible"
satellites.
0 X17 hat is the difference?
A in 1956. Hungary erupted. 'I'hr whole country
bleu w up. While it is more difficult to imagine, it is still
possible to imagine the .anme thing happening in
Rumania now. t'here you have a coamntry that has a
Western outlook`, and it conceivably could erupt.
But. in Bulgaria, given -my sort of opportunity I can-
aot conceive of all eruption The people there are very
happy to have Russia as Bit. Brother. The Russians, as a
result, can allow it more relaxed regime. Russians are
confident that Bulgaria -,\ill stay in the Soviet: orbit
Without coercion.
']he reason why Bulgaria is a model satellite-from
Russia's point of view-is largely historical. Russia has
been the hero ligiire in Bulgaria since the country was
liberated from the Turks in the middle of the nineteenth
entury.
Q flow about other countries of Eastern Europe?
A I think that Rumania. Hungary, Poland and East
Germany are in the category of eruptible satellites.
0 What about Czechoslovakia?
A I think that she may unfortunately, be the next
candidate to join Bulgaria as a noneruptible satellite.
Q Why so?
A Here again. as in Bulgaria, you find that national
ehauacter plays the most.iuuportant part. The Czechs-
the Czechs more than thf Slovaks--seem to be more
acclinnatized, more reconciled to the Communist way of
life. They simply tend to be more pay ive and less likely
to make political sacrifices to change their status.
0 Are people of the eruptible satellites becoming
more reconciled to their lot under Communist rule?
A I do not think that t1ie are. I think that the Polish
people, the Hungarian people, the Rumanian people and,
it roes 5ithout saying, the East German people would
hike to move away from ti Soviet t pion.

to them by the Russians is that they have the most

in East Europe while Western countries are being thrown
out of their colonies?
A People in these countries feel that the Russians
showed in I fungary back in 1956 that they are prepared
to be as ruthless as necessary, and it would be futile to
Irv any physical challenge to Communist Wile.
Q Why doesn't the West apply the same methods?
A It would be against everything that the Western
way of life stands for. We simply could not begin to do
what the Russians are doing in Eastern Europe. It would
mean sealing off the colonies, instituting secret police and
all of those: things that are normal in the Soviet bloc.
Geography favors the Russians, too. Their "colonies"
are adjacent to the Soviet Union, and they can deport
large numbers of working people to Siberia, as they did.
in Hungary in 1956.
Q If repressive measures were relaxed, would Russia
run the risk of an eruption?
A Yes. I think they would. If people felt sure that the
Soviet Army would not intervene, then most of these
countries would prefer to live under some sort of Scan-
dinavian socialist-neutral system rather than under the
present regime.
Q Are people of the area depressed now, or what?
A There is depression, and it has tended to grow. The
Soviet Union has played very skillfully on the idea that
the Western powers are ineffectual to intervene on their
behalf. Russians publicize the failure of Western powers
to intervene in Czechoslovakia against Hitler in 1938,
and failure of the West to respond to appeals that were
put out by some of the Balkan peasant parties in 1945-47.
People recall the experience in East Germany and in
Iii ntgary.
Q Does this give rise to a feeling that the West really
will not help them?
A Yes. It is basically it feeling that Western powers
are ineffectual when it comes to giving any real as-
sistance. This leads to more depression. A few years ago,
Western leaders regularly mentioned these countries.
Lately there have been almost no references to them.
Russians have demonstrated. that they are not going to
relinquish their grip on these countries short of major
w;tr. That fact is understood by us.
But let us not, therefore, write this area off while
distracted by problems in other areas; here are millions
of people who share our traditions and aspirations and
who do not deserve to be forgotten.

Just remember that Khrushchev is having his troubles, too; that all is iot
sweetness and light within the empire that Communism keeps building.
_.--'? Cuba is a costly mess, alerting Latin America to Communist danger. The
Congo isn't proving easy to grab. Communist threats and arrogance there are
likely to make other new nations of Africa think twice before signing up.
East Europe remains under surly bondage. Middle East is wary, no l?onge?
a sure prize for Communism. Red China is proving hard to discipline.
It's not really a happy gang of 15 dictators who are meeting in New York:..
Not one dares take a chance on an election. All hold power only by use of
armed forces and secret police. None dares expose his people to full con-tact
with the non-Communist world. All, basically, are insecure and afraid.
The arrogance the world sees is a cover for an inferiority coiplex.
Khrushchev with a huge inferiority complex, is dangerous just as Hit Ler w,-
dangerous. Khrushchev is wily, cunning, cruel--and a hungry dictator.
Khrushchev's gall is fabulous. After barring Eisenhower from Russia, he
blithely turned around and invited the world's dictators to New York.
The whole gang of dictators, meeting in U.S., will try to put on an tir
of confidence and respectability. Yet not one of them has a legitimate claim to
power, tested in the forum of the people he rules.
All, except Tito, cringe before Khrushchev. They're a sad bunch.
It's doubtful if Khrushchev will get what he's after in New York.t
New nations of Africa, most probably, will be wary. Latin America will
remember Castro and look behind soothing words and big promises. U.S. pe~~ple
will no longer be startled and frightened by Soviet displays in space.
Communists throwing their weight around, may have overdone it.

Kennedy's Problems: Youthful appearance. Religion. Close ties to the
leaders of labor. Defection in the South. Farm-belt coolness.
Nixon's problems: Less-active business. Increased unemployment. Lack of
any assured electoral votes to start with. Situation abroad.
Kennedy's problems seem bigger than Nixon's problems. Kennedy now is
counting heavily on a drive by unions to register millions of new voters.
Opinion sampling out in the country shows this: People are thinking more
deeply about their vote in this election than in any election within memory.
The campaign in weeks ahead, most probably, will determine the outcome.
Nixon, as a campaigner, is more experienced than is Kennedy.
Recession, apparently under way, is likely to be short and moderate.
Business trend has not turned up after Labor Day as many expected.
People, it seems, are less in a mood to take on new debt. Businessmen,
with demand less active, are less inclined to invest heavily in new plant.
Result: A mild, temporary recession.
This is the first postwar recession traceable to the buying public.
Inflation, as long as it was active, apparently encouraged people to buy
more, save less. Inflation's end,, even if temporary, reversed the psychology.
The public now is tending to save more and to go less into debt.
Dollars have more meaning when prices are stable or decline. Buying of
goods seems less urgent if the goods can be bought as cheaply later on. Debt,
too, seems bigger when it cannot be paid off in cheaper dollars.
There's a big change under way in the public's psychology.
Stock-market Prices, while lower, still are high on an average, relative to
earnings. Stocks still sell at above 19 times earnings, on an average.
Earnings have gone down with stock prices. Stock yields, too, remain below
bond yields, although yields on bonds have fallen as prices rose.
It still is wise to use much care in selecting stocks to buy.
There is this to be aware of: Some groups of stocks are much deflated from
their highs. Oil,-,, steels, autos, chemicals, tires and many other groups are in
this class. It's an axiom that the time to buy stocks is when nobody else wants
them. Yet care is required even then.
Business outlook, longer range, is closely related to election outlook.
Kennedy-, if President, would tend to act faster than Nixon in using the
Government's power to stimulate business. Money would be made cheaper sooner.
Spending by Government would be increased more rapidly. Lending by Government
would be increased more rapidly over a wider field.
Nixon, if elected President? would be inclined to be a little less hasty.
Tax policy would be stressed more than an increase in Government spending as a
recession counter. The Federal Reserve System would not be under pressure from
the White House to ease money faster.
Nixon inclines to a more modest role for Government in countering setback
Kennedy is more ready to use Government power.

Peiping strategy is to lure Africa away from West, from United Nations,
from Russia as well. Red China is feeling isolated these days. It has offended
most neutrals in Asia. It is turning to Africa and Latin America for support.
Peiping is quick to recognize new African states. It's the only Communist'.'
Government that has recognized Algeria's rebel regime. Also, Peiping has given
the rebels a loan and is training Algerians--and other Africans--in China.
One practical purpose behind Peiping's wooing of Africans is to get the new
African states to vote for the admission of Red China into the U.N. Another
purpose: to train Africans in Peiping's, not Moscow's, brand of Communism.
