Interpreting News
by J. M. Ro&erts
A. P. News Analyst
The Soviet smile offensive is
(paying Moscow, big dividends
and this seems to ibe the case
largely because of default in
the west. '
Westerners 'appear to have
been dazzled by the boldness of
the Soviet offensive, limiting
themselves to waiting for the
next Moscow move and think
ing up ways to parry it. All the
initiative is on the Soviet side.
It takes only a glance about
the map to see how well the
Soviets have gained in the
months since the Russian ap
proach changed from sour to
Sweet.
The west, which should be
on the deplomatic offensive
for Geneva, actually is on the
defensive. When the Rig Four
foreign ministers meet Oct. 27
the 'Russians will have an all
out campaign under way for re
cognition of the fact, if not the
legal existence, of an entrench
ed communist government in
Eastern Grmany which must
be considered in any project
for German reunification.
The Middle East picture will
have been nicely snarled up.
with the Soviet bloc pleading
that it is acting only in the
most normal, commercial way!
in selling enough arms to the
Arab States to upset the bal
ance there and transform the
area into a (potential powder
keg. Secrtary Dulles gave the
impression at his news confer
ence yesterday that he still was
waiting for the next Soviet
move in the Middle East.
The Russians also blandly an
nounce that while they favor
the cause of “liberation” of
colonial peoples, they have no(
intention of interfering in j
France’s internal affairs. Rut:
in the U. N. the Russians spark
ed the vote to discuss Algeria
and thus Cause the French to
walk out of the general assem-1
bly.
With equal aplomb, comrnun
ist boss Khrushchev declares
he is sure the whole thing will
work out to the betterment of
international relations, and
Moscow denies it knows any
thing about the activities of
the communist propaganda ma
chine which is heating up the
North African kettle.
The Same Soviet offensive in
favor of “liberation” brought a
U. N. vote to discuss Indonesias
claim to West New Guinea.
?he United States abstained
in the vote, apparently not
wanting to take sides. The
Dutch -are irked with Washing
ton.
j It is the United States which
reaps a harvest of resentment,
strangely enought, while the So
viet Union seems to escape
much of it. France is 'resentful
at the lack of American sup
! port, The Netherlands irked at
the American abstention. But
Khrushchev and his cohorts go
along on their merry way, us
.ing their propaganda to the hilt
and posing all the while as the
champions of peace, brother
hood. friendship and humanity
I The only telling stroke of
diplomacy the United State?
achieved in recent months was
President Eisenhower’s pro
posal for an exchange of mili
tary blueprints. But the Soviet
Union has managed to counter
that by giving the impression
i the Kremlin is considering it.
The Union States and its part
ners are in the position of
wondering what the Soviet
Union will come up with next
and how to counter it. There
is little (prospect in such an at
titude that the initiative will
be taken away from the Rus
sians.
