"FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE
FOR AMERICA"
Some allege that secrecy and government do not mix. The tendrils of intelligence gathering
extend and pervade all too many areas-both domestic and foreign. Yet, should we drop
one of our first lines of defense? Could we maintain a safe and secure society without the
advanced intelligence about potential domestic and foreign enemies? 'Or could we not better
operate a free and open society with the existence of the FBI, CIA and Military Intelligence?

132 THE COMMONWEALTH
China-Russia-U.S. Are Interacting on Complex Horizon
FRIDAY FLASHES-APRIL 26th
From Address by
DR. ROBERT A. SCALAPINO
Political Scienco Professor.
University of California, Berkeley
"When the events of the 20th century
are analyzed by future historians, the re-
lations between China, Russia and the
United States will certainly loom with
great importance.
After W W II an alliance emerged be-
tween China and Russia that seemed des-
tined to unite nearly a billion people
across the Eurasian continent. And it
appeared to pose the most serious prob-
lem to all the states on the boundaries
of these two major countries. Then within
a decade, the split began. Taking advan-
tage of the break, the U.S. moved to try
to equalize relations with both China and
Russia. We now exist in a period of lim-
ited and somewhat uncertain detente. But,
we are for the first time interacting on a
very complex horizon.
Explore the Problems
To explore the problems, we need to go
over some of the internal affairs of each
country in the latter triangle.
China is reaching the end of a political
era. Soon Mao and the first generation of
revolutionary leaders will have passed
from the scene. Mao will leave behind him
some weak political institutions but some
strong personalities. China will experi-

ence reoccurring political instability in the
next decade, but certainly not a collapse.
Instability will occur at the top, the criti-
cal question will be can the instability be
contained at elitist levels or will it filter
down and affect production and the broad-
er ranges of political order.
In the economic sphere, China has made
great accomplishments not the least of
which that it has provided a platform
under the lowest socio-economic classes
so that the degradation of the past is gone.
Low Risk Foreign Policy
However, there has been a great deal of
romanticism about Chinese economics.
The margin between population and food
is still very narrow. It will take decades
of the very best conditions for the process
of economic modernization. The Chinese
society is one that started from deep pov-
erty and is moving along at a not unex-
ceptional pace.
The combination of internal political
and economic problems argue for a low
risk foreign policy. China can't move too
far too fast. However, China is committed
to being a major power in Asia at least. It
will seek a buffer state system. And, we
can look for China's increase in influence
in this region.
With respect to foreign policy, we must
see China's image of the world today. For
China the world is divided into the Super
Powers, the Second Intermediate Zone
and the Third World.

134 THE COMMONWEALTH
Neither War nor Close Alliance in Foreseeable Future
SCALAPINO (Continued from preceding page)
because as the Cold War receded because
we began to wonder how we could em-
brace the Communists on one hand and
fight them on the other. We were left with
growing confusion. Nothing will be more
difficult than to maintain some unity and
purpose and acknowledge the increasing
complexity of our commitment relation-
ships and values. It is not easy to sort
these out in an open society in which de-
bate is asked for and dissidence Is encour-
aged.
Regionalism vs. Internationalism
The U.S. has alternatives In respect to
its relations within the triangle. One is to
withdraw into enclaves and assume that
our primary responsibility lies with West-
ern Europe and Japan. We do have tre-
mendous interests in the advanced world,
but the enclave theory seems to ignore
the importance of our interdependency
with small and medium states.
There are also those who would with-
draw more completely to embrace only
the Western Hemisphere. This kind of
regionalism reminds us that the world has
been dominated by spheres of influence
and to some extent regionalism does have
a future. But if it is made exclusive, then
the problems that the U.S., Russia and
China share will be by the board as you
cannot solve the issues of nuclear weap-
ons, food, population, and resource bal-
ances through regionalism alone. We need
to internationally communicate across
ideological boundaries.
In the future of SinoSoviet-U.S. rela-
tions I do not see either war or close al-
liance between any two of the countries.
Rather I see an expression of national In-
terests that reflect stages of development
in each of the countries.
U.S. Must Learn Flow to Negotiate
We are entering an era in which nego-
tiations at many levels will take place.
But, the United States must learn how to
stay with negotiations. It must learn how
to deal with its own people and with the
negotiating countries. Of great concern
is the question, can a totally open society
maintain negotiations with a closed or
quasi-closed society?
There will be growth in regional spheres
of influence. China will loom up in Asia.
Small states must be aware of this and
maintain equi-distance or neutralism.
They must move in such a direction as not
to exhibit hostility.
Similarly in Europe, the problem is if
the countries will move toward greater
unity or if they are going to deal with the
Soviet Union from separate entities with
relative weakness. Nothing would be more
short-sighted than for the U.S. to with-
draw at this point, even though the final
decision is indeed up to Western Europe.
This leads me to one of the most con-
troversial issues at point. There is no
doubt that the U.S. has lost credibility in
Asia and in the world in the last year or
two. It is most apparent that the American
credibility as an ally is declining rapidly.
Chinese and Soviets More Credible
In truth, the Chinese and the Soviets
appear to be more credible as allies for
the moment. Thus, the issue of U.S. credi-
bility is crucial not only to our allies but
also to the Sino-Soviet-U.S. triangle. We
must maintain our credibility in order to
influence the internal decisions in both
the Soviet Union and China. And to sus-
tain an international equilibrium of power
to prote..t the process of moderation in-
cluding the decision making processes in
Moscow and Peking.
In this difficulty it is necessary to un-
derstand that detente is the only logical
alternative. But, it is a detente that must
encompass reciprocity, relative under-
standing of all the factors, and a kind of
capacity to deal with other major nations
not from an enclave or regional position,
but from a carefully balanced selective
internationalist stance. To do this success-
fully we must solve our domestic econom-
ic problems because no country proceeds
with will and resolve in the midst of re-
cession.
We must also think very seriously about
the problem of leadership-as we have not
had and we do not have yet the kind of
leadership that unites the American peo-
ple. These are internal problems quite as
serious in respects as those facing Russia
and China.
But in the long run, the American com-
mitment to some kind of international
order, because we are still the only uni-

Answers to Written Questions from Floor:
Q: How do you rate U.S. State Depart-
ment as compared to counterparts in China,
Russia and England? A: Can't compare
without data. Do defend our career foreign
service people as they are well trained and
dedicated with sense of realism and na-
tional interest. No hesitation-I trust them.
Q: Do you believe in 'Domino Theory'?
A: Any theory applied simplistically is
wrong. If refer to cause and effect relation
in international affairs, then it's true. To
deny domino theory is to deny cause and
effect. Southeast Asia collapse will not af-
fect China-Russia-U.S. relations. If trend
of U.S. withdrawal and lack of credibility
continues, could pose long range risk.
Q: Can we depend upon Russia to keep
its word? A: Wise to have a number of safe-
guards. Reliance can never be total with
any major power. There are some in Viet-
nam that don't feel we kept our word.
Q: What causes build-up of radicals,
dropouts, and derelicts around our univer-
sities? A: Generations among younger
people are very short. Major changes in
newer student generations. This is not late
'60s, but we are in revolution. Our momen-
tum of change is tremendous and is bound
to effect youth. There is remarkable seri-
ousness in students now. Re-generation-
quest for knowledge, deep dedication in
search for values. Need not worry. Majority
of youth want to avoid extremes.
Q: Effect of Israeli situation on U.S.-
China-Russia equilibrium? A: China firm-
ly committed to Arabs. Has sought to outbid
Russia in verbal support. However, Arabs
must depend on Russia for military hard-
ware. Neither China nor Russia want Mid-
dle East to affect their U.S. relations.
Negotiation between U.S. and Russia can
continue.
Q: If there were a square instead of a
triangle, which would be the 4th country?
A: Japan. However, no evidence that Japan
will have rounded policy commitments,
i.e., political and military increments equal
to economic power. Japan will continue as
major world economic influence. (JMR)
