subversive operations and to play down belligerent warlike operations.
This decision based on success of these tactics and because it
permits stressing the "peaceful" attitude of the Soviet Union and
develops the Neutralist Movement in Europe and Asia particularly.
Neutralist policy airs particularly to split the Socialist parties
throughout the world and create a left-wing party as a bridge to
popular front governments and eventually to Soviet control of free
countries. This development particularly apparent in Italy (Nenni),

In Europe - Italy, France, plus a strong play through devious
channels-for the Socialist Party of Germany. Also drive by Kremlin to
improve relations with Tito.
Southeast Asia - Southern Viet Nan (Laos, Cambodia) and Indonesia.
