It was widely assumed that his renunciation of that policy after the Manila foreign ministers' conference was only a tactical maneuver and that he would continue covert action to cause the Federation's downfall if he could not prevent a s formation. Sukarno's real objection is that he sees the proposed federation as an obstacle to his own expansionist ambitions in Southeast Asia. In what appears to be a deliberate misunderstanding of. the position agreed to in Manila by the Malayan, Indonesian and Philippine foreign ministers, Sukarno claims that the signing of the Malaysian agreement in London violated Malaya's pledge not to take further steps without prior consultation. After a series of conflicting reports as to his attendance, Sukarno went to the 30 July "summit" meeting in Manila with Rahman and Macapagal. His main tactic pre- sumably will be to continue to harp on the Borneo-referendum issue and to plug for a longer-range confederation of the area to in- clude Indonesia. US policy is to support, with some qualifications, the forma- tion of Malaysia as an expression of the will of the Malayan, Singapore and Borneo peoples for voluntary association into a unit that best corresponds to the legitimate self interests of inde- pendent countries., Where appropriate, we preempt Indonesian and Communist efforts to stigmatize the federation as "neo-colonialist" and as a means for continuing Western influence. We point out that a common and more dangerous enemy -- Communist China -- is lurking in the background ready to take advantage of any confusion or ill-will that is brought about by prolonged disputes over the Jorm that Malaysia should take or over the ultimate disposition of the British Borneo territories. We also mention that Sukarno is using this issue to distract the attention of his own people from the serious internal short- comings of his own regime, particularly economic and social stag- nation. We further mention that when Sukarno finds himself com- pelled to think about popular referendums, he should confine him- self first to West New Guinea, where he is showing signs of reneging on his commitment to allow the inhabitants there to determine whether they prefer to sever their ties with Indonesia 25X1C10b Approved For Release 1999/08/2 .:.CiA--RDj8-030(ilA0p0 00 0006-3 r e 3 oted) Approved For Release 1999/08/24: CIA-RDP78-03061A000200020006-3 (Briefly Noted Cont.) 29 July 1963 DA ES OF PROPAGANDA INT11113ST 20 Aug Leon Trotsky assassinated in Mexico City, 1943. 24 Aug, Stalin-Hitler non-aggression pact signed, 1939. 24 Aug North Atlantic Treaty (NATO) entered into force, 1949. 31 Aup- Feb. of Malaysia due to come into being. 1 Sept 7 Sept Sept 12 Sept 15 Sept WW II starts, 1939.

The CPSU--CCP party talks continued in complete secrecy frorn July 5 to 20, -- with a day of recess following each session, presumably to permit the Chinese to consult with Peking. The CPSU Presidium, headed by I.hrushchev, entertained the delegates at a banquet "in a friendly atmosphere" on the 20th. A brief joint communique was issued on the 21st: it stated only that both sides had set forth their views and agreed, on the initiative of the Chinese, to adjourn until some time later, the place and time to be agreed on through consultations. Mao himself, in one of his increasingly rare public appearances, headed the "tremendous welcome" to the Chinese delegates in ;Peking. 2. In sharp contrast to this ostensibly friendly stalemate in forsial relations between the principal adversaries, political propaganda warfare raged throughout the Communist world with increased acrimony and hostility. The USSR and China were increasingly treating each other as outright enemies in a series of sharp pronouncements, featured by a hard-hitting, 22,300-word CPSU "open letter" of 14 July in response to the CCP letter of 14 June. On the Chinese side, a Peking rally of 10,000 welcoming their delegates back from their unsuccessful challenge to Soviet domination of the Woaen's Congress in Moscow heard the delegation praised for the struggle it waged "against the enemy." 3. The publication by the CPSU of their 14 July letter (together with -- at last -- the 14 June CCP letter to which it responded) was the signal for a wave of attacks on the Chinese positions by the Soviet European satellites, which published both documents with editorials and statements supporting the CPSU and condemning the CCP. 4. The Rumanians, however, further demonstrated their independence by publishing both letters but refraining from comment; boss Gheorgiu-Dej agreed to participate in the Moscow CIMA meeting mentioned below, but the Rumanian CP publicly condemned CEMA policy toward Rumania through an authoritative spokesman to a Western correspondent. Balancing this, the party published two pamphlets in support of peaceful coexistence and disarmawient. 5. The Chinese were not noticeably shaken by the new Soviet-led European offensive, reacting immediately to the CPSU letter in a rather condescending manner, forecasting a massive counter-attack in good time. ~C Approved For Release 1 - DP78-0301 ~06-nt`3 Approved For Release 1999/08/24: CIA-RDP78-03061A000200020006-3 (#9 Commentary Cont.) 29 July 1963 6. The Czech Government also "transferred the ideological dispute to the sphere of state relations" by demanding on 3 July the recall by China of 3 NCNA correspondents,accredited to i?rague, for illegal and harmful distribution of Chinese polemics, thus following the lead of the Soviet recall order of 27 June. The Chinese strongly protested this "serious incident, under- minin the unity between the Chinese and Czechoslovak peoples and aggravating Sino-Czech relations." 7. The increased temper and scale of the warfare between parties in recent weeks has further intensified dissension within parties and front organizations throughout the world. 3. The visit of Belgian Foreign Minister Spaak with Xhrushchev in Kiev and the auspicious convening of the three- power test-ban talks in Moscow while the CPSU-CC? talks were in progress were non-Communist activities which infuriated the Chinese and were shrilly denounced by them, Khrushchev's announcement of his planned August visit to Yugoslavia was also a direct affront to Peking. 0. A Soviet plane crash in IrkutsLL on 13 July killed the Al- banian Ambassador to Pelting and six other Albanians, plus a CPR official from their Afghanistan Embassy ano two Cninese couriers. Significance: "U n i t y" is such a dominating concept throughout the history of all Communist (and socialist) Movements, that the CC? and CPSU, despite the rapid deterioration of their relations and the increasingly open and spiteful hostility between theta and their followers, still managed to avoid the onus of an open break and "saved face" by the transparent device of "adjourning" the Moscow talks for an indefinite period, subject to uncertain future agreements between the two Central Committees. The 14 July CPSU open letter has ushered in a dew phase of the conflict. It is the first really hard-hitting, counter- it-tacking ?PSU document, presumably indicative of the fact that the Soviet leadership stung to the quick by the overweening arrogance and poisonous enmity of the CCi? attacks -- has decided that any hope for a cessation of public polemics was dead and that the time for counter-attack had come. Moreover, it largely abandons the sterile attempt to answer Peking's casuistry by s h i f t i n g the debate from the scholastic refinements of Marxist-Leninist exegesis to a rather forceful exposition of the real issues of strategy and power po cs at s a e, accusing e y trans- parent insinuation) of attempts to provoke nuclear war between the Soviet Union and the US$ promoting racial conflict instead of class strug le, tr ing to turn the non-white races App jf ose 1999/08/24: CIA-RDP78-03061A000200020006-3 2 (#8 Commentary Cont.)

July 99 and 16 - The Yugoslav agency Tanyug reported from Bucharest the publication of two Rumanian booklets supporting Soviet foreign policy lines. The first, on 9 July, entitled Peaceful Coexistent contains "an objective criticism of dogmatic tendenc? es in the international workers movement," and "speaks of the absurdity of the theory of the export of revolution and defends current principles that peaceful coexistence and disarmament facilitate the national liberation process. The secon , on t He 16t , is devoted to the Moscow tripartite test-ban negotiations "unequivo- cally underlining Rumania's dedication to the idea of general disarmament" and "welcomes and defends Soviet initiatives" in nuclear test ban negotiations. July 10 - All Peking papers gave front-page prominence to a 1200- word 10 July CCP statement in reply to the 9 July CPSU statement described above, and print the latter at the bottom. The Chinese complain that the CPSU accusation "is totally unjustified," and ask if it is not "in itself a slander against the CCP to refuse to let people know what our letter of reply actually said, while at the same time profusely attacking the letter as a 'slander' against the CPSU and raising a colossal uproar?" Noting that the CPSU has not only extended ideological differences to the sphere of state relations but "is also whipping up a campaign against the CCP all over the Soviet Union," the Chinese ask "how far are the comrades of the CPSU prepared to extend the Sino 'Soviet cam- erences The Chinese press also printed an NCNA Moscow spatch reporting "the campaign whipped up by the CC/CPSU through meetings and resolutions of Soviet party organizations at various levels," and another dispatch rounding up the editorials of principal Soviet papers attacking the CCP. Jul 10 - Both the Chinese and the Albanians used the occasion of Albanian Army Day to emphasize their ideological solidarity against the modern revisionists. July 10 - A Hungarian Party and Government delegation headed by Kadar arrived in Moscow for a visit which observers saw timed to demonstrate East European solidarity with the CPSU and USSR. Kadar warmly greeted by Khrushchev, in contrast to his ignoring the Chinese delegation. July 11 - The second anniversary of the Chinese-N.Zorean friend- ship treaty was used to emphasize their ideological solidarity agi ~0FaJP8*gN fJWI0?Ta8/2W C81&0?B-(3 05 1 AN2 0006-3 A rotes For Release 199 J08/24 e ing,wne ,~6 g0&o0jg20$Qgb3 part i ~~pa a in a m ss meeting in a , chairman of the Chinese Peoples' Political Consultative Confer- included in his speech the charge that: "certain self- styled Marxist-Leninists have applauded Kennedy's so-called peace strategy and are trying their best to prettify US imperialism and its ringleader, Kennedy. They are deliberately deceiving the people to serve the needs of US imperialist schemes of aggression." July 13 - The first public mention by either side that party taIRF are a ng held in Moscow came in a 2200-word Peoples' Daily edito- rial which acknowledged "a number of importance" ferences.... serious in nature," and complained that "to describe them as beini? between the CCP on one hand and the whole international Communist moves .ent on the other is not in accord with the facts and not helpful to the elimination of the eences."' De : ite the "distressing" Soviet actions on the eve of the talks, the Chinese "refrained from taking measures corresponding" and sent their delegation to the talks. "But we now have to point out with heavy hearts that events have gone contrary to our hopes." Seeing the Soviet actions, "people are fully justified in worrying whether the CC/CPSU wants to push Sino-Soviet relations to the brink of and s r:ossib e o rupture.... Ideas cannot be blockaded resolve ideological differences by dictates or commands.... There were many people who committed such follies in the past, and they all failed." But the differences will be resolved, they say, "if one really treats the other as an equal instead of trying to impose on him. If the differences cannot be resolved today, they can wait until tomorrow. If they cannot be resolved this year, they can wait until next year." July 14 - Peoples' Daily carried an "Observer" article complaining rly about forts to "woo the Soviet Union to oppose China, and to pctson Sino-Soviet rela ons. a article accuses "US imperialism" of "deliberately misrepresenting the revolution- ary viewpoints of the CCP, alleging that China 'stands opposed to peaceful coexistence,' 'is warlike,' and 'advocates the export of revolution,t" (but this is exactly what is done by the CPSU in their letter published simultaneously, -- see below). July 14 - A brief Tokyo Mainichi article on Japanese Foreign Office. scrutiny of the talks states at, according to the Foreign Office, there are 88 Communist parties in the world, of which 22 are pro- Soviet, 6 are pro-Chinese, "and the rest are mostly adopting the attitude of neutral opportunists. The Foreign Office says, how- ever, that there are some so-called neutral parties which are leaning toward Communist China, such as those in Japan and Rumania. Therefore, the Foreign Office is noting the fact that a certain Communist Chinese leader said that 'half of the world's Communist parties are supporting Communist China." July 14 -- Pravda published a 223,000-word "o een~n letter from the I'RU to 'Party organizations and all Communists -e-Soviet non, and also, at last, the text of the 14 June ULT et eai whi-ch it replied.

(The Peking press reported the above information on the 17th but did not report the substance of the CPSU letter.) Continuing to be "different," the Rumanians followed later, publishing both letters in their organ Scinteia in two installments, half on the 17th and half on the 16th. All Mongolian newspapers published the text of the CPSU letter (but apparently not the CCP) on 19 July. July 15 - A 1200-word "Observer" article in Peoples' Daily bitterly a ac ked "the Tito group" for "frenziedly fannih /ie flames, poisoning Sino-Soviet relations, disrupting the unity between China and he Soviet non and that of the international Communist move- ment, and peddling its notorious modern revisionist goods." July 15 - Pravda featured a 2500-word editorial on the CpSU "open letter," staa$ ng that the letter was published (on the preceding day) "in connection with the inimical actions of the CCP leaders, their aspiration to exacerbate the controversy. in the international Comrwan movement which he themselves Began, their deliberate distc.. tion of the position o our party, an the incorrect fer- pret ton of the motives which prompted us temporarily to retain from pubIishing the 14 June CCP letter. Having taken our patience to be weakness, the Chinese comrades began to present our desire to avoid exacerbating the controversy almost as an btention to 'conceal' from Soviet Communists and the Soviet people the views of the Chinese leaders." It goes on to accuse the Chinese of "putting forth and upholding special positions on racial questions of the present day." The balance of e editorial consists o a brief review of the Soviet position on the vital questions at issue as stated in the open letter. Izvesti a dovotos its editorial for the day to the same subject, emphasizing support of the CPSU line by the Soviet people. tactics in making use of the Sino-Soviet differences and poisonin Sino-Soviet re a ons are to laud the Soviet non and vilify Chine to woo the soviet n on and attack Mina." Jul 16 - Pravda published a 1400-word editorial on "The Unbreak- a e pity-'o -"'e Party and the People" which describes how "Commu- nists and all Soviet people reacted with firm approval to the open letter." A 1000-word Izvesti a editorial, "A Mighty Support," went even further to state that. ? ae press of the countries of the socialist commonwealth and of Communist parties in capitalist states fully shares the stand of the open letter," and it quotes from the Czech Rude Pravo and Polish Trybuna Ludu and cites L'Humanite and n ta- as examples.

July - All Sofia newspapers carried editorials stressing the mpor ance of the CPSU letter. The Party organ Rabotnichesko Delo asserted that "the Bulgarian working people, close y united aroun the Bulgarian CP headed by its CC, again voice their warm support for the great CPSU9 ....." July 17 - The Yugoslav Politika concludes: "There can be no ques- tion of a compromise with the effete, reactionary Chinese ideas, since even the slightest concession to their present views would bring defeat to socialism as a whole, for this would mean surren- dering the real ideas of socialism. Because of this, the deter- mination of the CPSU headed by lthrushchev in the conflict with the Peking dogmatists has the backing not only of the Communist parties, but also of all the progressive people of the world." The Yugoslav organ Komunist carried a similar article on the following day. July 12 - Moscow's Trud carried an article by its correspondent reporting on a trip=rough china after the 1963 May Day celebra- tions which complains about.the CCP's ungrateful ignoring of Soviet aid. Also, "we found at the same time traces of unwise attempts to arouse among the fraternal Chinese people unfriendly feelings and moods toward the USSR. This, of course, embittered us. We thought: who needs that, and for what?" On the same day, Krasnaya Zvezda, armed forces newspaper, carried front page account o reports by--Top military officers to higher military academies on the nature of the dispute and the Soviet Party's views.

The PKI thinks it is good to hold bilateral talks... and to convene a meeting of all Marxist- Leninist parties." The Indonesian agency further reported "Observers noted that once again. Aidit avoided openly and in public to side with the policy o., the CCP. As is known, organi- ations and leaders of the PII have supported the Chinese attitude. at international meetings and in press articles on various problems." July 18 - Communist newspapers in Sydney and Melbourne, according to th Australian Overseas Service, state that the number of Communists who have resigned from the Party in Victoria over the Peking-Moscow differences now totals 62. The Central Committee alleges that this is the result of a calculated attempt by a group led by E.F. Hill, former Victoria secretary who rejects peaceful coexistence, to cause confusion and create the impression that the Party is experiencing a major split. July 18 - The Chilean official CP organ El Silo asser+ed its agreement with the CPSU against the "raving sanders" of the Chinese, which "not only are erroneous, but also are a falsifica- tion and betrayal of Marxism." July 19 - The Peoples'Daily editorial, "Expose the U.S. Nuclear concludes: -we that the Soviet Union will not fall into this trap." On the same day, the Peking press gives front- page prominence to a rally of more than 10,000 Chinese in Peking to accord warm welcome to the Chinese delegation back from the WID' congress in Moscow. "A resolution adopted at the rally amid stormy applause pledged full support for the activities of the Chinese women's delegation and for the correct line it persisted in at the congress.

On 17 July the Czech Government complained that the Chinese had not complied with the recall demand. "arthermore, NCNA is still continuing the activities against which we have protested." The Czechs cancelled the press card of the remaining correspondent and gave him 40 hours to get out of the country. "Thus the Czech Government has precipitated a serious incident, undermining the unity between the Chinese and echoSlovak peopTes an aggravating no- ec relations. 20 July all Peking papers published a nese Foreign ministry statement on the expulsion as well as the NCNA commentary.

July 19 - Speaking at a Kremlin rally honoring visiting Hungarian boss agar, Khrushchev, according to Western correspondent wit- nesses, exploded in an extemporaneous outburst against the Chinese, groping for words in obvious vexation and appealing to his audience for help as he spluttered to a halt while searching for a word. M, rushchev was quoted as saying; "I declare to those who would like to overthrow us: I challenge you, gentlemen. Comrades, let's pick out any plant or any collective farm. You present your program and we will present our program. Let the people be the judge. And you may rest assured you won't need armor or padding for protection...." July 19 - The Czech Party CC issued a 2500-word statement which declares that the CPSU open letter "is in full harmony with the views and lines of our Party." They state that a letter sent on 20 January 1962 to the CC/CCP "described in detail the exceedingly harmful activities of Chinese representatives in international organizations and the incorrect views of the CCP leadership on basic political questions;" but "the facts and arguments of this letter were not given a direct answer by the CCP leadership, which refused to deal with them." A further letter was sent on 9 July 1962. The Czechs also claim that "serious damage" was caused to the national economy of Czechoslovakia and other social- ist countries by the sharp reduction in Chinese trade relations "through the fault of the Chinese representatives." Jul 20 - All Peking papers give top front-page prominence to a statement dated July 19 by a spokesman of the CC/CCP on the CPSU open letter. On inner pages they published the full text of the CPSU letter (many parts bold-faced) together with a Peoples' Dail editorial statement. Peoples' Daily also republished the full text of the 14 June CCP leter so that members o the cup ana the Chinese people may know the views of both sides and compare and study." The CCP statement said that Chinese national, provincial and city papers would also publish the CPSU letter, and that both letters would be broadcast to the whole world in many languages.

Frankly speaking, so far the criticisms are not up to the mark and not con.!incin ," They add: "there is only one. reason we are broadcasting the 14 July open letter of the CC/C?SU: It is a remarkable piece of work. To quote a Chinese poem: 'A remarkable work should be enjoyed together and doubts analyzed in company.' ... the open letter of the CPSU is superlative material for learning by negative example," The statement concludes: "the Imperialists,, headed by e U.S.,, and the Indian reactionaries and the Yugoslav revisionist clique have acclaimed it with one voice and vilified the CC?. Such statements deserve attention, We shall select the prize ones and publish them for all members of our Party and all the Chinese people to appreciate." The Peoples' Daily editorial note accuses the letter:'.-of try- ing to con ue and poison people's minds on the question of nuclear war, trying to pin the vicious charge of bellicosity on China, and, in particular, to attack Comrade Mao Tse-tung. In accusing the Chinese leaders of making a 180-degree turn in evaluating the 20th CPSU Congress, "the CPSU leaders know full well that the CC/CCP has never cosidered the 20th CPSU Congress to be wholly positive." "Take another example, the question of extending ideological differences to the sphere of state relations The fact is that on 16 July 1960 the Soviet side suddenly notified China of its decision to withdraw alltheIM-and more Soviet experts in China within a month, to scrap the hundreds of agree- ments and contracts it had signed, and to discontinue supplies of many important items of equipment and materials....

German Party organ Neues Deutschland published a 000-word editorial expressing ful endorsement o the CPSU open letter, including the statement that good relations between the CPR and the other socialist countries "changed with the beginning of the 'great leap forward."" Also, the Germans remark that "it is significant that the whole CC/CCP letter of 14 June does not contain a single word about socialist democracy..... Perhaps this is connected with the fact that the CCp leaders have a special concept of socialist democracy. We recall, for instance, that they were conducting a campaign under the slogan: 'Let a Hundred Flowers Bloom, Let a Hundred Schools of Thought Contend."' But "the CCp leadership itself has done the opposite Whereas in their 1960 statement the Communist and workers parties proceeded from the fact that in our epoch of transition from capitalism to socialism the struggle between the two world systems is the main issue, the CC leaders deny this fact and contend that the struggle of the national liberation movement in Asia, Africa and Latin America represents the main fighting front, the 'storm center of world revolution.' ...."

NCNA reported that Aidit stated at the Djakarta airport: "the imperialist and the Yugoslav revisionists were trying their utmost to torpedo the talks between the CPSU and the CCP" and: "For my part, I believe, to conduct consultations with these two Communist parties will be not only in the interests of the inter- national movement, but also in the interest of the development of the new emerging forces." Answering a question by a Western correspondent, Aidit said: "1, and the ?KI, have stood on the side of the Moscow statement because it states in definite terms, all Communists must condemn and expose modern revisionism." July 23-21 - The CPSU-CCP bilateral talks ended on the 20th, with rushch presiding at a banquet given by the CPSU Presidium for the delegates. A brief communique issued on the 21st states only that "in the course of the meeting, both sides set forth their views and positions on a number of important questions of principle in contemporary world developments, the international Communist movement, and Soviet-Chinese relations. At the CCP .?-deie ation's suggestion, agreement was reached to make an interval in the work of the delegations so as to continue the meeting some time later. The place and time of the continuation of the meeting will be agreed upon additionally through consultations between the CC/CPSU and the CC/CCp."

It sweeps over the range of dif- ferences in theory with the Chinese, seldom coining to grips with their casuistic ideological argumentation, accusing the Chinese of attributing to the CPSU views and positions which it does not hold -- and at the same time stretching CCP positions to extremes which the CCP does not really hold. It sets forth a long list of complaints against Chinese conduct in recent years, in many cases reversing charges already directed against the C?SU by the Chinese! It names Mao and other Chinese leaders in such a context as to accuse them by inference of vacillating, wavering, and making 133-degree turns. The Soviets accuse their adversaries of substituting r a c i a l struggle for class strug le, propagating the Slogan a east wind prevails over the west" in place of "workers of the world, unite," and several times infer that the Chinese have "other goals which have nothing in common with revolution" or "the abolition of capitalism." The Chinese are accused of want- ing to embroil the USSR and the USA in deadly warfare against each other. The tone of the letter can readily be seen in the wording of some of the phrases blasting the Chinese: "frankly inimical actions"; "splitting activities"; "camouflage their erroneous views and incorrect positions"; "did their best to insult and attack the Soviet Union"; "Juggling quotations"; "monstrous fabrication and slander"; "trying to smear the CPSU ?Program"; "their utter helpless- ness"; "psuedotheoretical discou7tse"; "haughtily and abusive- ly accuse"; "flouting of agreements"; "resort to foul lan- guage"; "sinks to insinuations"; "absurdity";' "use the Albanian leaders as their mouthpiece"; etc. The CPSU letter (in 6 numbered parts) begins with a 1230-word review of the provocative June/July conduct of the Chinese, "mistaking our restraint for weakness." It recalls "nearly half a century" of Soviet leadership in the struggle for 'the triumph of Marxism-Leninism" an Soviet "tremendous, disinterested aid to all peoples fighting for their liberation frog the yoke of imperialism," citing especially aid to China where it is even now assisting in the construction of 33 enter rises and -projects. Mao is quoted as saying in that "the nese people will never forget all this," to which the CPSU adds: "one can only regret that the Chinese leaders did begin to forget this." The letter points to the Chinese "Long Live Leninism" publication in April 1960 and attributed to Mao, as the first openly revealing the Chinese "differences with the WCM." The letter traces further steps by the Chinese to impose their views : the June 1960 V'UFTU session in Peking, pp vea i or Release ongr 9/08//24 : CIA RDP78 03061A000 00020006-3 rove or Approved For Release 1999/08/24: CIA-RDP78-03061A000200020006-3 After the latter, "they resumed the propaganda of their course, using as a mouthpiece the leadership of the B t :n the back of our ?arty, they launched a ca:sapaign against the CC/C'?SU and the Soviet Government." In October 1961 the CC/CPSU "undertook new attempts to normalize relations with the CCP," and followed these with efforts through autumn 1332 which were not answered. The letter then accuses the Chinese leaders of carry- in. ideological differences over to state relations, iv ng figures showing drastic reductions in trade over the past threw years "on the initiative of the Chinese leaders." It adds that sagreemen s among raterna pci8 are nothing more than a temporary episode, whereas relations among the peoples of the socialist countries are now being established for all time to come." Reviewing the "splitting activities" of the Chinese at the December 1361 WPC session in Stockholm and 1962 sessions of the WFTU, WPC, AAPSO, WFDY and d9IDF, the Soviets co apla in that the Chinese froze them out of the 3rd AAPSO conference in Moshi: "the leader of the Chinese delegatial told the Soviet representatives that 'the w h i t e s have nothing; to do here."' The Chinese also prevented the Soviets groin par cippating in the Djakarta journalists conference "on the plea that the Soviet Union is not an Asian country." find at the recent 71IDF congress, the Chinese "accused the overwhelming majority of taking to splitting activities," when "only the representatives of two countries -- China and Albania -- out of 110 countries represented at the congress voted against" the appeal. In Part 2 the CPSU turns to "the gist of the differ- ehces." "The essence of the matter is that, having started An offensive against the positions of the Marxist-Leninist karties on the cardinal positions of today, the Chinese comrades first ascribe to the CPSU and other Marxist- Leninist parties v ews which they nave never expressed and which are aen to them: second they try by verbal recog- nition o the formula and pos ons borrowed from e documents of the omina s movement to camou age their erroneous views and incorrect positions. To cone out- openly" against peace u coexistence, sarmamen , e c., wwoo l mean to lay bare their positions in the eyes of the Communists of the whole world and peace-loving peoples and to repulse them." Therefore, "the clearer the weakness of the positions of the CCP leadership becomes, the more zealously it resorts to such camouflage." Behind this "scholastic" camouflage, however, are the vital questions of war and peace; the role and development of wor ~soca.a_.- st system; the-struggle against he eo ogy an practice: of the 'persona y cu *; strategy and tactics o e world labor movemen ; and the national liberation s toggle.

"What stands behind the loud revolutionary p rases of the Chinese comrades? Lack of faith in the forces of the working class, its revolutionary capabilities," etc. "To take up the way proposed by the Chinese comrades means to alienate the popular masses." "The atomic bomb does not adhere to the class principle: destroys every- o y w n range of Its devastating, force;' The Chinese "obviously underestimate all the danger of thermonuclear war" when they contend that "the atom bomb is a paper tiger." "Some responsible Chinese leaders also have declared that is possible to sacrifice hundreds of millions of peop e n war. On the ruins of destroyed imperialism, e vi carious peo les -- asserts the collection ng Live en n sm, .., will create a civilization a thousand times higher than Under the capitalist sysem. The letter then remarks pointedly: "The posing of the question in this manner by the Chinese comrades may engender a well-justified suspicion that this is no longer a -class but one with en re y eren alms .... s mpossib e not to note the fact that instead of the class internation- alist approach expressed in the call 'workers of e wor , un e, the Chinese comrades stubbornly propagate the slogan deprived of any class meaning: 'the east wind prevails over the west." Reviewing the Cuban crisis, the letter states that "the Chinese comrades did their best to insult and attack the Soviet Union." It concludes: "The impression arises that the leaders of the CCP regard the preservation and intensi- fiti ittpill iltions caon onernaional tension, esecayn rea advantage, Part 3 of the letter is given to the "personality cult," with the CPSU accusing that "the CC? leaders took upon them- selves the role of defenders of the personality cult, the propagators of Stalin's faulty ideas." Mao, Liu and Tong are quoted as originally approving the 20th CPSU Congress action. "Practice is the best measure of truth," the letter states, and cites advances of the last 10 years. But the CCP leaders "hint at some sort of 'bourgeoisization' and 'degeneration' of Soviet society. To follow their line of thinking, it comes out that if people walk in bast sandals and eat watery soup out of a bowl, this is communism, -- A r ieb W41&699 9 JYff/ J ~ l -- D 63691 A AM0006-3 Approved For Release 1999/08/24: CIA-RDP78-03061A000200020006-3 better tomorrow, this is tantamount to a restoration of capitalism;,' The letter then turns to the CC?? attack on the Soviet claim that the "dictatorship of the proletariat" has been replaced in the USSR by "a state of the whole people." "Anyone who reads the discourses in their letter ... will undoubtedly note their utter helplessness and lack of eop e. a are knowledge about tFF-Tif e o the Soviet people.- Being taught that hostile classes still remain in Soviet society, and therefore, you see, the need for the dictator- ship of the proletariat remains." The CCP letter cites as hostile classes "bourgeois hangers-on, parasites, black- marketers," etc. "One must concede," say the Soviets, "this is quite an original notion of the Chinese comrades about classes and class struggle. Since when are these parasitical elements considered a class? And what class?" In Part 4, the CPSU treats "the ways and methods for the revolutionary struggle of the working class in the countries f ca italisn, the s rugg o for national libera- tibn, the ways ac-"~L the of all mankind to socialism." The Chinese depict it as though they stand for world revolution and the CPSU and other parties -: "have forgotten the revolution." Actually, says the CPSU, the division "lies on an entirely different plane: some -- namely the leaders of the CC? -- talk about world revolution ... while others -- those prec se y whom the Chinese comrades criticize -- approach the matter of revo- lution with utmost seriousness and, instead of phrasemonger- ing, work hard, seeking to find the best ways to the victory of socialism, gays which conform best to present conditions, and fight hard for national independence, democracy auad socialism." By their peace policy, the letter si.ys, Soviet Communists "give inestimable aid to the working class" of the capitalist countries, scoring "magnificent successes." Lenin is cited on the importance of economic victory, "but now it turns out that there are comrades who think that V.Y. Lenin was wrong. What is this -- lack of faith in the ability of the countries of socialism to a ea cap a sm who ~encoun er nay culties in the u ng o soc a ism, VFW become scourag@ ...? "The Chinese Communists haughtily and abusively accuse the Communist Parties of France, Italy the U.S. and oMer countries o nothing less than opportunism and reformism, of 'pa" 3r.'iamentary cretinismt and even of slipping down to t bourgeois socialism, t" but "every knowledgeable Marxist- Leninist knows that to advance a slogan for an armed uprising when there is no revolutionary situation in the country means to doom the working class to defeat."

But the "new theory" of the Chinese, the CPSU says, is that the main contradiction is "not between socialism and imperi- alism but betvaen the national-liberation movement and imperialism," and "the decisive force in the struggle against imperialism ... is not the world system of socialism, not the struggle of the international working class, but again the national-liberation movement. In this VU .-the Chinese wa popu comrades apparently wish to win in t e easiest among the peoples o Asia, r ca and Latin erica.

Part 5 of the Soviet letter focuses on the theme that "the erroneous views of the CCP leaders ... are inseparably linked with their practical activities directed owar un er- rn n n a un o e wor soda s camp and e n er- atona omiunist movement." Chinese reduction in trade with the socialist community by more than 50% in the last 3 years is elaborated on again. Further, the letter says, "the CCP leadership organizes and supports various anti-party groups o rene a es w o come out against the Communist parties in the ., Brazil* a y, Belgium, Australia and n a, and it gives some detail, including publishing and circulating "in many lan- guages articles discrediting" these parties, resorting to "foul expressions" such as 'double-dealing,"' etc. "And in its letter of June 14 the CCP leadership sinks to insinua- tions that the CPSU, too, alle edl 'comes out in the role o a helper o Ln er a sm. No one except r o s I y bas et darec, in v ew of the o vim ous absurdity of s, to ?v such slanderous accusations at the great Party of Lenin.' This section of the letter concludes with a reference to the CCP statement that tt is "impermissible for one party to place itself above the other fraternal parties, ... to interfere in the internal affairs of fraternal parties...." As one example the CPSU cites Chinese "excommunication" of Yugoslavia. The letter quotes Peoples' Daily in 1955: "Yugoslavia has already achieve notable successes in the construction of socialism," and statistics show further consolidation of the socialist sector since that time. "WWh,y, then, have the Chinese leaders changed so drastically their position on the Yugoslav question? It is hard to find an explanation other than that they saw in this one of the advantageous -- in their opinion -- pretexts to-discredit he policy of the CPSU and other Marxist-Leninist par es."

Tambi6n, dicen los alemanes que "es significante que.la carts completa del 14 de junio del CC del PC chino no contiene ni una sola palabra acerca de la democracia socialista ... Posiblemente est6 relacionado con el hecho que los lideres del PC chino tienen un concepto especial de la democracia socialista.

En contestaci6n a una pregunta de un corresponsal del Occidente, Aidit dijo; "Yo, y el PKI, hemos respaldado is declaraci6n de Moscd porque declara en frases defini- tivas, que todos los comunistas deben condenar y de desenmasearar el revisionismo moderno." 20-21 Julio: Las conversaciones bilaterales PCUS-PC chino termina- ron el 20, presididas por Kruschev en un banquete ofrecido por el Presidium del PCUS para sus delegados.

It traces the origin of Communist inter- nationalism back to MARX' "Communist Manifesto," briefly out- lines the facts of the first, second and third Internationals and of the COMIN 'ORII and summarizes the role of the International Communist Fronts and of International party meetings in the 6WCM since World War Two. It describes the inexorable decline of Communist internationalism from Lenin through Stalin to the present and concludes by briefly discussing the principal current contradictions preventing a true internationalist policy or a true global organization of the WCM. At the end, 5 books are listed for recommended reading. 25X1C10b lk Approved For Release 1999/08/24: CIA-RDP78-03061A000200020006-3 Approved For Release 1999/08/24: CIA-RDP78-03061A000200020006-3 Approved For Release 1999/0A'121~ ^QQtiW78-03061A0X 0 3 683. East-West Trade: A False Issue 25X1 C10b BACKGROUND: One favorite tactic of the Soviets is to seize a slogan which, in itself, almost everyone would support, then to maintain that this is a Soviet program and to claim that Western capitalist` governments, in particular the United States govern- ment, are opposed to this program. "Peaceful coexistence" is one such slogan and another is "improving East-West trade." Some- times American policies which are essential for free world security, such as the embargo on the export of strategic goods to the Soviet bloc, can be twisted to blacken the reputation of the United States. Also, for reasons of internal politics, moral indignation, and bureaucratic difficulties, Americans sometimes do things which lend color to Soviet q.ccusations and which appear irrational to outsiders: for instance, boycotts of polish ham sales. Armed with such cases, Soviet propagandists find it easy to convince various wishful thinkers that the Soviets offer wonderful things, and are only obstructed by selfish American interests. International Trade Conference. Slogans of this kind are all the more useful when they can b e a red in the atmosphere of an international conference, preferably one including as many under- developed nations as possible. In the field of trade, a conference e is now planned to take place under UN auspices in March l9S the World Trade an Development Conference The Soviets have presse for an as -u?est trade conference or many years, and last year the United States accepted a modified conference proposal sponsored by 34 Asian, African and Latin American countries, and also by Yugoslavia; this proposal was adopted by the UN Assembly last December. The 34-nation proposal was acceptable to the US because it stressed the problem of helping developing countries, because it was limited to UN members (thus excluding Communist China and East Germany), and because it provided that measures would be taken up "leading to the gradual removal of tariff, non- tariff, and other trade barriers arising from industrialized countries which affect the exports of developing countries and expansion of international trade in general." Such barriers could include Soviet closed markets and state trade monopolies as well as western embargoes. Zven preparatory meetings provide sounding boards. In a first preparatory meeting for the WTDC, last February, the Soviets made a new effort to insert "obstacles to East-West trade" in the agenda, their vague formula being intended to open the way for propaganda attack. In a second preparatory meeting (at Geneva) in June, the Soviets urged long-term trade agreements (coinciding with Soviet five year plans), and tried to make development assistance contingent on disarmament, as well as attacking Western embargoes as usual. Approved For Release 1999/ cLQA 78-03"MQ0@32QQQQQQq-3 (p~~ For Release 1999/0 78-03061PQ0{(,0-3 More indicative of Soviet strategy were proposals at the June meeting for establishing a or lade Organization, which would replace the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), to which the United States and 41 other countries adhere (as full partners; there are 10 others who participate under special arrangements), and which serves to settle economic differences between the major free world economic groupings, such as the US, the Common Market, and the European Free Trade Association. GATT is a multilateral contract which encourages the reduction of tariffs, the elimination of quotas, and above all, the equal treatment of all foreign part- ners in each market (most-favored-nation principle). In other words, GATT serves as an instrument for free world economic cooperation, and also for the spread of the classic principles of free trade, and its destruction would be a political as well as an economic setback to the United States and its allies. The Soviets accordingly attack GATT, and try to convince developing countries that the organization they propose would be more helpful. The Soviets would exercise a veto in their proposed World Trade Organization, along Troika lines, and wou use to impose a pattern of bilateral trade In which their economic superiority vis-a-vis many other countries would enable them to trade on their own terms. By its nature, the Soviet trade monopoly stein is a highly discriminatory device which makes the USSR unfitte" for participation in a GATT-type system, and the logical western response to Soviet demands is to demand that the Soviets drop all import restrictions, use world prices as a base for internal prices, and in fact adopt a free market system. Soviet attacks on western embargoes are only red herrings designed to con- ceal the completely controlled character of Soviet foreign trade. But the Soviets apparently intend to launch a major attack on GATT, and also on the Common Market, at the WTDC, all the more so since the WTDC will meet two months before the opening of GATT negotiation* under the "Kennedy round," in May 1964. Soviet goals at the approaching WTDC help to elain recent Sovie efforts to convince Western businessmen that new maricetg-are available in the Bloc, if only Western governments will remove restrictions. These Soviet efforts follow a typical pattern: first, it was made known that the. Soviets are ready to contract for large amounts of steel pipe, large numbers of ships, or large-scale plants. Then it is found that the Soviet desires involve a conflict with Western embargoes or business secrets, and the Western businessmen, ready and anxious to trade, are encouraged to think that they are thwarted by Western governments or self-interested monopolies (e.g. oil). The Soviets hope and expect that pressure on Western governments will result. Thus, . Sovietci.?1.esations visited the United Kingdom last fall, and the US this s pri.ng, spreading stores that large orders might be placed. The British were led to think that they could sell ships (shipbuilding is a depressed industry in most countries, and especially in the UK), but it turned out that the Soviets wanted to pay in oil, Even though the UK was willing to consider such a deal, no Soviet order for ships came forward. Britain, Germany, and the US were much concerned early this year over the question of whether lari pepdim~ or I eease wa /0 12 X A P2 lV8- 3%6~A 02000 ' gh the ~P - '" "' (683. Continued) (63:AMv p)d For Release 19991 ' " A D78-03061A002 ? 0 M3 Germans agreed that this would be contrary to NATO security interests and cancelled their contracts, the British were apparently ready to violate NATO solidarity in order to sell the pipe (pipe is not on the COCOM list and its manufacture would have aided a depressed area). Yet the Soviets, while getting some pipe from Sweden, have left the British dangling; apparently they calculate that the disappointment will cause the British to agitate further against export restrictionsi causing political-economic problems involving also allied policy. In another case, the Soviets gave British engineering firms to understand that they were ready to buy a $280,000,000 refinery, which would be the world's largest. It turned out that the Soviets not only wanted assurances that they were getting the most up-to- date equipment, they also wanted to "see for themselves" that they were getting it -- in other words, they wanted access to all the secrets of the big international oil companies, something which none o the engineers could possibly have obtained for them. (See The Statist, 21 June 1933) Yet the "offer" was later dangled again when p arc o Wilson, leader of the British Labour party, visited Moscow in June. It may be that the Soviets will eventually place an order for such a refinery somewhere, since they need it and since it need not involve any trade secrets, but meanwhile they are using the proposal to tantalize British businessmen, and British politicians as well. Berthold Beitz, the General Manager of Kru , was warmly received in scow n., ay, even av ng a long interview with Khrushchev. Possibly Beitz brought home some secret orders, but according to Der Spiegel (5 June), he failed to secure a ship con- tract he had sought, As in the case of British business, the Soviets may be trying to use Beitz to bring pressure on his government. In England, a meeting was hold from to 15 M rc , with Soviet and World Peace Council participation, and passed a resolution urging governments to support the WTDC and to have the WTDC "seek the elimination of the cold war in trade," On 5 July, a report appeared, signed by 20 British industrialists calling themselves the East-West Trade Group; this report stated that the British Government could increase trade if it would review import licensing to end discrimination against East European products (read "Soviet oil"), begin discussion with these countries on a five-year trade expansion program (which would fit in with the next five year plans), and extend credit insurance covering contracts for capital equipment bought by East European countries (easing a current Soviet shortage of foreign exchange). The possible benefits of trade with the Bloc are easily exagger- ated. The East-West a e Group claimed that British exports to the Mococ would be tripled in five years -- which if true would make them come to 9% of current British exports to non-sterling areas. This would not radically improve the British foreign trade situation,. since some of these exports would otherwise be exported elsewhere. For all of Beitz's activity, Krupp's exports to the Soviets only come to DM 15 million out of a total product of DM 4 billion.

The fact that the West Germans can be the greatest exporters to the USSR sheds a strange light on Soviet claims that "cold war" considerations are an obstacle to trade; if this were true, West Germany should stand at the bottom of the scale. Soviet 1conoyiic Needs. The Soviets are indeed interested in may: in purchases abroad; n particular, they want to obtain advanced western technology without doing expensive research (for industrial espionage) themselves. Recent Soviet purchases abroad include chemical plants (to produce fertilizers, synthetic fibers, and synthetic fuels), and they have also interested themselves in food processing equipment. These purchases seem to reflect a current crash program to make Soviet agriculture produce, and to get more food (for example, by fishing). But the Western strategic embargoes are not the limiting factor in Soviet foreign trade. in volume, the results of ending such restric ions wou Be insignificant. The limitation, to put it baldly, is that the Soviets can't finance their purchases with enough of anything that anyone wants, principal Soviet exports are oil, lumber, grain, and ores and metals, in that order. In the case of oil, much has lately been -divertod to Cuba; in the case of lumber, neither Soviet supply nor Western markets are susceptible to major expansion; in the case of grain, there Is ordinarily none to scare outside the Bloc; in the case of ores and metals, the values are low. The Soviets have discussed the export of machinery with various nations, especially the British, but it is doubtful that Soviet machines could be marketed in volume in any advanced Industrial country, and there is always the problem of parts and service. Adequate marketing and service organizations are costly, and yet essential if sales are to be maintained. As a result of their lack of acceptable exports, the Soviets are now suffering from a shortage of foreign exchange, and their situation in the near future in this respect is likely to grow more difficult. Exporters who are offered contracts by the Soviets would be well advised to -be sure that payment is fully guaranteed, as some creditors may find themselves offered the choice of some low-value barter commodity or nothing. Soviet economic plans avoid foreign trade. The Soviets give no indication that they are seriously interested in making foreign trade a greater factor in their economic life. Their economic plans aim largely at self-sufficiency: the proportion and pattern of these plans leave no gaps which might indicate any expectation to import materials in question. 'That are the true Soviet objectives in the foreign trade field? 1. They want to obtain easier credit and better condi- tions for barter in order to buy t a ngs they nee most urgers y. 2. They want to obtain knowledge of advanced western industrial techniques.

Needless to say, Soviet pur- chases of prototype machinery are never the beginning of a long-term, continuing requirement; the machines are simply copied. 3. They want to turn Western businessmen against Western governments, ma ng them believe that the govern- me~are standing in the way of increased trade. 4. They want to weaken Western unity by pitting some countries (such as Britain--and West e-rmany) against each other and against the United States over the issue of trade restrictions, also by attacking GATT. 5. They want eventually to establish a World Trade Organization which would obstruct rather than further free multilateral trade, and which would support SoUet ek ors to organize trade on a bilateral basis, with Moscow at one end. They doubtlessly hope to get the support of underdeveloped nations in this effort, though these countries are not so unsophisticated on this sub- ject as Moscow thinks. Actually, the practical dangers of the Soviet trade offensive can easily be overestimated. Perhaps the most serious matter is the possibility that, in countries like Japan, Great Britain, and Vest Germany, the question of East-West trade may become a political football, with local politicians adopting demagogic anti-Amer can policies. Such tactics, aimed at supposed US hostility to free trade, are completely misdirected. It is the Soviets who are opposed to free trade; it is only they who by a change in their economic policy, 25X1C10bcould bring about a major increase in their foreign trade volume. 25X1C10b L Approved For Release 1999/08/24: CIA-RDP78-03061A000200020006-3 Approved For Release 1999/08/24: CIA-RDP78-03061A000200020006-3 Approved For Release 1999/08/24: CIA-RDP78-03061A000200020006-3 29 July 1933 634 PF,g. Nkrumah's Political Extremism 25X1C10b BACKG.Rt)tJND; Although the African heads-of-state meeting at F. r y p~ ~.^~ turned down President Nkrumah's plan for the in tedi .te, political unity of Africa, the unprecedented meet- ing of 30 of the 33 independent African countries reflects to some degree Nkrumah's own strenuous pan-African drive. For six years the Ghanaian leader has exhorted other lead':rs and their pzoples to accept his concept of an Africa united under a strong central government and he has left little doubt that he envisions himself as the first President of a united African nation. N1rumah has also resorted to widespread subversion in -. other African countries by providing money an.U_eFias to radical nationalist groups; training and supporting potential opposi- tion leaders and exiles from independent countries; and inveigh- ing against other governments through an extensive propaganda Program. The Addis Ababa conference heard many public, though frequently veiled, references to Nkrumah's interference in the political life of other African countries. Mali's President iteita undoubtedly had Ghana in mind when he spoke against African countries which maintain exiles who are plotting "subversive activities in independent African states." Organizations with supra-national responsibilities. Nkrumah has established several compre iensive organizes ons tofurther his efforts and provide the foundation for an all-African struc- ture. The African Affairs Secretariat (AAS) is the executive for implementing iaruma s pan-African policies. Its official action arm, the Bureau of African Affairs (BAA), was established in 1959 ostensib y, according-to the ana Yearbook, to concern itself with "political parties and movements .... especially the dependent African states which are engaged in the fight to free themselves from foreign domination. It provides these parties, movements and similar organizations with necessary information to promote achievement of their ob ec;We-s -(our `uncer1TnTng) The 3s rumahTS most Tmportan organizational weapon for subversion and persuasion in African countries. For example, Ghana supported exiles from neighboring Togo who were plotting to overthrow the ?rime Minister; one of the exiles was the leader of an unsuccessful assassination attempt. At the same time he urged that Togo be integrated into Ghana. in another case, witnesses at a Nigerian subversion trial in early 1963 test- ified to having received training in subversive techniques in Ghana (even including an unverified suggestion that some of the instruct- ors were from the Communist bloc).

Exiles from South Africa, Angola, Ivory Coast, Togo, Nigeria and Cameroon are among those who have fled to Ghana. The Center receives and houses them and arranges for their support and training. The Kwame Nkrumah Institute of Economics and Political Science Winne a, G bana, was established or the avowed purpose of providing "ideological education to activists and Freedom Fighters of the African Struggle against imperialism, colonial- ism and neo-colonialism" and for training students in the "African Liberation Movement." (See staff study on "N"krumaism and Communist Holding of Ghana Youth," sent to certain stations ywith Book Dispatch #365, 18 March 1963). Here 'nationalist leaders from the de andent African countries are trained in the organizational and ideological principles of Nkrumai.sm principles which closely resemble those of the Communist world. The Institute's political science syllabus, for example, contains thirteen subheadings of which eight are identical with those in Fundamentals of Marxism-Leninism, the basic ideological text pub isn.e By e COU in 1959. Other course outlines correspond closely to those of Political Economy -- A Marxist Textbook written by John Eaton, a leading member o the r is . The Institute's director is assistant to the Director of Press and Radio for advising the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation on "politi- cal interpretation and proper treatment of news items," -- insuring that Ghanaians also receive the proper political indoc- trination. The Ghanaian Trade Unions Congress (GTUC) has been active in supporting radical r can trade union movements, the anti- Western All-African Trade Union Federation (AATUF) in particular, and in disaffecting affiliates of the free world international Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICF'TU). GTUC brings trade union officials to the Kwame Nkrumah Institute for training and assists others to obtain scholarships for study in the Soviet bloc. The Lagos West African Pilot of July 5th reports that the GTUC is urging the to convene an all-African labor con- ference to decide "Joint action within the spirit and require- ments of the African situation," undoubtedly calculated to enhance Ghana's appeal to the increasingly powerful African trade union movement. The Foreign Ministry has more than once been caught inter- fering in host country affairs through its diplomatic install- ations. Ghana's Charge in Leopoldville was forcibly expelled in 1960 when he tried to influence Congolese developments through Antoine Gizenga, as he had successfully doon-e through the latter's predecessor, Patrice Lumumba. Ghana retaliated by recognizing Gizenga's Stanleyville "government"j openly flouting the legally constituted central Congolese government.

Nor are other African countries spared. Attacks on the Congo, Nigeria and the former French colonies are coimonplace; one of the reasons may be that exiles such as the Nigerian Samuel Ikoku, once involved in a coup attempt at home, are now writing for Spark. Although the largest newspaper, the independent Daily Graphic, is essentially moderate in tone, the government-owned Ghana Times and the Convention People's .1 'arty (CPP) Evening are dot-adulatory of the President and scathing toward the West and the anti-I.rumah powers. The same positions characterize the GTUC bilingual monthly, African Worker, distributed through- out Africa and the Voice of Africa beamed to other countries in several languages, ORGANIZATION OF AFRICAN UNITY (OAU) and its subordinate bodies could be subject to strong Ghanaian influence if the interim Secretary-General, UN Ambassador Tesfaye of Ethiopia, who is believed to be pro-Nkrumah, should receive the permanent appointment.

In the last several years, the Communists have been encountering increas- ing difficulties in the international relations among their parties, govern- ments and front organizations. Some people attribute these widening cracks in the once "monolithic" World Communist Movement (WCM) exclusively to the differences between Moscow and Peking. The significance of the latter shall not be denied or minimized, but it is essential for any realistic understanding of these growing Communist troubles to recognize the basic conflict between their internationalist ideology and the reality of their political, military and economic power interests. The present paper outlines some of the basic facts contributing to this understanding. HISTORY. Origins. The internationalist beliefs and organizational attempts which have characterized the Communist (and Socialist) movements of the 19th and 20th centuries originated in the COMMUNIST MANIFESTO, in which Karl Marx Approved For Release 1999/08/24: CIA-RDP78-03061A000200020006-3 Approved For Release 1999/08/24: CIA-RDP78-03061A000200020006-3 CPYRGHT and Friedrich Engels., on the eve of the revolutions of 1848, proclaimed their profound conviction that the internationalization of all coming human history was "inevitable" -- and, consequently, of the international character of the Communist movement -- in ringing, apodictic phrases: "The workingmen have no country ("Vaterland" in the German original). We cannot take from them what they have not got." "National differences and. antagonisms between peoples are daily more and more vanishing. . . . The supremacy of the proletariat will cause them to vanish still faster." "The Communists everywhere support every. revolutionary movement against the existing social.and political order of things . . .they labor everywhere for the union and agreement of the democratic parties of all countries." "Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a.world to win. Workingmen of all countries unite!" The Three Internationals. Communists and Socialists accepted Marx' internationalism .as a basic article of faith, both intellectually and emotionally, but all attempts to translate this faith into.workable inter- national organizations fell far short of their intentions: The First International ("International Workingmen's Association"), founded by Marx in London 19;7,-was a loose federation of individuals and small groups, which broke up less than 10 years later, mainly because of the fundamental conflict between Marxists and Anarchists (Bakunin). The Second International ("Labor and Socialist International") was founded in Paris 1669. Its members were mostly Social Democratic and Labor Parties in all industrial countries of Europe which grew into mass parties with numerous representatives in their countries' parlia- ments -- Lenin's underground Russian Bolsheviks being the only exception. -- World War One 1914 broke the Second International into three factions a. the r i g h t wing or revisionists, such as the majority of the German SP, the British Labor party, and the Scandinavian SPs; b. the c e n t e r or Austro-Marxists, represented by the Austrian SP, the minority of the German SP, the French and Italian SPs; c. the 1 e f t wing or Zimmerwald (their first meeting place in Switzerland) movement, centered around Lenin and including the Spartacus League in Germany and other left-wing splinter groups. 2 Approved For Release 1999/08/24: CIA-RDP78-03061A000200020006-3 Approved For Release 1999/08/24: CIA-RDP78-03061A000200020006-3 CPYRGHT The Second International was reconstructed after World War I (Hamburg, 1923), broke up again during World War II and was rebuilt once more after- wares:..{-Frankfurt, 1951). The Tb.ird International.. ('Communist International" -- COMINTERN) was founded in Moscow 1919. and organized along. Lenin's line of "democratic centralism."' It was initiated and completely dominated by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU),.then the only party in power. On paper, it had affiliates in 57 countries but actually very few parties outside Russia represented significant political strength. During World War II, Stalin dissolved the COMINTERN (191-3). International Communist Organizations since World War Two. a. The Information Bureau of Communist P sties (COMIhFQBM) was founded in 194T and had its headquarters first in Belgrade, then in Bucharest. It consisted of representatives ofall..European Bloc parties .and of the French and Italian CPs. Its main Visible activity -- apart from formalizing.Stalin's decision to- expe>+; the Yugoslav. cP.1.91+8 -- was the publication of a weekly ;journal, FOR A LASTING PEACE, FOR A,PEOPLE'S DEMOCRACY, in.several languages. It was dissolved. again in 1956. b. International Communist Fronts (ICFs). Beginning even before the end of the war, a dozen new international organizations were set up, with varying initial degrees of Communist influence, but all ultimately serving the ends of the WCM. They include the World Peace CouaciJithe World Federation of Trade Unions, the World Federation of Democra'ic Youth, the International Students Union, the Women's International Democratic Federation, and several others. These organizations resumed certain functions of the dissolved.COMINTERN, stimulated the creation and develop- ment of Communist fronts in non-Communist countries and engaged in-a wide variety of global and regional activities, holding rallies and congresses, operating training centers, publishing periodicals and pamphlets in many languages, providing traveling instructors and organizers, and so forth. -Even though far larger and more efficiently organized than.- any comparable Communist fronts before World War Two and quite active in many. fields, including such spectacular propaganda events as the World Youth Rallies and the World Peace Congresses, they do, nevertheless, not constitute a true or comprehensive international organization of the WCM. At first, it appeared that the ICFs -- financially dependent upon Moscow and stage-managed by CPSU officials in key positions were more suitable to Soviet control than national CPs, especially where the latter were in power or represented size- able strength in opposition. More recently, however, Soviet manipulation of ICFs has encountered increasing Chinese opposition and other difficulties and Moscow appears to switch increasingly to bilateral relations with national CPs, national fronts and (where practicable) governments. c. International Communist Party Meetings. Even though frequent close contacts between all CPs, especially bilaterally between the CPSU Approved For Release 1999/08/24: CIA-RDP78-03061A000200020006-3 Approved For Release 1999/08/24: CIA-RDP78-03061AO00200020006-3 CPYRGHT andall other CPs, were maintained after the dissolution of the COMINTERN including meetings of "fraternal" delegates at national party, congresses --, only two formal meetings of the leaders of all Gds of the world.-were held since World War Two, both in Moscow,, in 1957 and 1960 It is significant that no such meetings were held while Stain was still alive. Important as these two conferences and the resolutions unanimously adopted by them (considered, especially in Chinese Communist polemics against Moscow, as the "lair" of the WCM) undoubtedly were, they did not lead to any new inter- national organization. Moreover, the spirit and letter of their resolutions was soon submerged in the rising flood of dissensions in the Communist camp, especially between Moscow and Peking. Symbols. The symbols of internationalism assumed-a paramount role from the earliest days of Marx-inspired labor movements, even before World War One. All parties, socialist and.communist, adopted the red flag as their banner, placed internationalist slogans -- especially the final Words of the Communist Manifesto, "Workingmen of all Countries, Unite" -- on placards, in meeting halls and on the mastheads of their publications. Meetings ended --and demonatrebors marched to the strains of the "Internationale" (which, incidentally, was written and composed in honor of the first International and.was therefore "common property" of Socialists and Communists): "Arise ye prisoners of starvation, Arise ye wretched of this earth . . This song became the anthem of the movement: audiences rose from their seats, men took off their hats. . . . The Soviet union originally adopted the Internationale as its national anthem, but replaced it with a more traditionally Russian tune during World War Two. Emotional Impact. The idea of a "world-wide revolutionary brotherhood" inspired the rank-and-file of first the Socialist and later the Communist movements far beyond any reasoned acceptance of the internationalist doctrines of Marx and Lenin. The feeling of having friends and fellow-militants in all parts of the globe, of belonging to an "Irresistibly advancing" world-wide movement (in the concluding words of their anthem: "The International Party will be the human race"), encouraged the faithful, especially where the party w.as weak, undergoing persecution or suffering setbacks. This strong com- mitment to internationalism has been demonstrated over the years through innumerable activities, from collecting funds, clothing or medical supplies for strikers, political prisoners and other casualties of the common struggle in far away lands to the thousands who volunteered to risk their lives in revolutionary fighting, from the Paris Commune 1871 to the Spanish Civil war, 193+ - 1938.

Lenin was not an internationalist in the same cosmo- politan sense as Marx and Engels had been (it is no accident that under Stalin "cosmopolitan" became an ominous insult in the Communist dictionary): his thoughts and efforts were focused on revolution in Russia, f?kst and foremost. However, his allegiance to Marx' doctrines led him to the con- viction that a revolution in Russia alone had no chanbe to survive, until paralleled -- or, at least, quickly followed -- by revolutions in the more advanced industrial nations of Europe. He founded the Third International primarily as an instrument of promoting the world revolution elsewhere, if only because further revolutionary successes were imperative to safeguard the future of Communist Russia. He admitted bluntly: "Of course the final victory y of socialism in a s i n g 1 e country is impossible." (At 3rd Council of Soviets, January 1918) Thus, the COMINTERN in Lenin's days may be defined as a truly revolutionary, internationalist organization, even if primarily intended to saveand protect the Soviet Union. Stalin and "Socialism in One Country". When Stalin became supreme ruler, Europe had fully recovered from the severe shocks she had undergone in the wake of World War One and all hope for new Communist revolutions in other key countries had been abandoned. TROTSKY alone stuck to the original concepts of internationalism and of "permanent" world revolution -- but Stalin soon eliminated Trotsky and his sympathizers throughout the WCM. Stalin gradually reduced the COMINTERN to a mere tool of the CPSU's and the Soviet. Government's foreign policy, changing its policies and tactics when- ever he felt this necessary in Moscow's interest. This was most dramatically illustrated by the 7th and last COMINTERN Congress, Moscow 1935, which elected Bulgarian George Dimitrov, hero of the Reichstag fire trial, as Secretary General and adopted the "Trojan Horse strategy" of popular fronts which became particularly successful in France and -- at least temporarily -- in the Spanish Civil War. This was a complete reversal of the preceding strategy of "class against class," which had denounced the Social Democrats as "Social Fascists" -- a reversal dictated by Stalin's growing fear of Hitler's rapidly rising aggressive power. The anti-Fascist popular front strategy was just as suddenly abandoned in August 1939, when the Stalin- Hitler pact was signed -- with complete disregard of the interests of the Communist Parties in Central and Western Europe which were se-vex jy shaken by Moscow's totally unexpected "co-existence" with Hitler. World War Two. The first two years of the German-Russian conflict, from Hitler's assault in June 1941, until the battle of Stalingrad, early in brought the Soviet regime close to the brink of total disaster. Stalin soon recognized that the appeals of Communist doctrine 5 Approved For Release 1999/08/24: CIA-RDP78-03061A000200020006-3 Approved For Release 1999/08/24: CIA-RDP78-03061A000200020006-3 CPYRGHT and internationalist enmity against Hitler Fascism did not at all suffice to bolster the morale of his armed forces and of his civilian populations. He, therefore, not only dissolved the COMINTERN (which may have been more a formal concession to the Western allies than a fundamental change of his .thinking) but based domestic war propaganda and indoctrination increasingly on nationalistic, patriotic} traditionally Russian appeals, while at the same time enlisting the active help of the Russian Orthodox Church. The-war-was officially designated as "The Great Patriotic War" -- with little reference to its" anti-fascist, internationalist aspects. Stalin, toasting the Red Army commanders in the Kremlin, on May 24, 1945, proclaimed: "I drink primarily to the health of. the Russian people because it is the most-outstanding of all the nations that constitute the Soviet Union. I drink to the health of the Russian people, because, during this war, it has earned universal recognition as the guiding force of the Soviet Union among 811 the peoples of our country. I drink to the health of the Russian people, not only because it is the leading people, but also because it is gifted with a clear mind, a staunch character, and patience." (Stalin, "On the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union", pp. 241-42) . At Present: "Independence" and "E ualit " of National Communist Parties. The Moscow meeting of the 81 Communist Parties in November 1960, the last authoritative assembly of the entire WCM, solemnly reasserted the basic tenets of internationalism: "The socialist (i.e. Communist) countries and the socialist comp as a whole owe their achievements to . . . their close fraternal cooperation and mutual internationalist assistance, and above all, to the fraternal, internationalist assistance from the Soviet Union." Later on, the statement of the 81 parties exhorted. all comrades: "At a time when imperialist reaction is joining forces to fight Communism, it is particularly imperative vigorously to consolidate the world Communist movement. Unity and solidarity redouble the strength of our movement and provide a reliable guarantee that the great cause of Communism will make victorious progress . . . . It is the supreme inter- nationalist duty of every Marxist-Leninist party to work continuously for greater unite in the world Communist move- Nevertheless, the conference did not only fail to set up any new inter- national organization, but even recognized formally the right to every national CP to determine its own course independently: Approved For Release 1999/08/24: CIA-RDP78-03061A000200020006-3 CF Pd For Release 1999/08/24: CIA-RDP78-03061A000200020006-3 "All the Marxist-Leninist parties are independent and have egua1 rights, they shape their policies according to the specific conditions in their respective countries and in keeping with Marxist-Leninist principles, and support each other." The text also suggested procedures for consultations among parties:: The Communist and workers' parties hold meetings whenever necessary to discuss urgent problems, to exchange experience, acquaint themselves with each other's views and positions, work out common views through consultations and cc d,?n6,.te joint actions in the struggle for common goals. Whenever a party wants to clear up questions relating to the activities of another fraternal party, its leadership approaches the leadership of the party concerned. If necessary, they hold meetings and consultations." Actually, however, no further international Communist meeting has been held and differences between parties have been vented in public polemics rather than through the consultative method recommended. CONCLUSIONS AND FORECASTS. World Soviet Republic? According to the original Communist concept, all countries in which the Communists would seize power were to join the original Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, thus expanding the latter into a World Soviet Republic. Stalin, at the 10th All-Russian Soviet Con- gress, December 1922, proclaimed: "Let us hope that by forming our confederate republic we shall be creating a reliable bulwark against international capitalism and that the new confederate state will be another step towards the amalgamation of the toilers of the whole world into a s i n g 1 e World Socialist Soviet RLeRublic." Actually, however, each additional country, taken over by the Communists, retained its sovereignty and national independence. This Was initially primarily a concession to the nationalist and patriotic traditions of these nations, concealing. the expansion of Stalin's empire: today, however, there can be no doubt about the true independence of China from Moscow. Even the European Satellites, though still dependent upon the Soviet Union in a variety of ways, have regained a large degree of autonomy. Poland changed its regime in 1956 very much against Moscow's wishes, Czechoslovakia paid only lip service to Kh.rushchev's Destalinization, Rumania still opposes Approved For Release 1999/08/24: CIA-RDP78-03061A000200020006-3 Approved For Release 1999/08/24: CIA-RDP78-03061A000200020006-3 CPYRGHT Moscow-imposed economic "coordination" and Albania has completely defied the Kremlin's displeasure, siding aggressively with China against the Russian "neo-revisionists." National Interests Vs. Internationalism. In every Communist country, the interests of the ruling Communist elite have merged gradually. with the interests of the nation, including traditional claims of previous autocratic and imperialist regimes. The Soviet Union has obviously no intention to abandon the conquests of the Tsars, especially in Asia. and celebrates Tsarist heroes, including even Ivan the Terrible. Communist China is reasserting imperial Chinese claims to Tibet, the Indian border regions and ultimately most of Southeast Asia, Communist Bulgaria and Yugoslavia have inherited the Balkan quarrels of their predecessors, notably in the feud over Macedonia. The Soviet Union is no longer capable of bending the services of all the Communist Parties of the world to its will, regardless of their own national interests, as Stalin did: but it is not willing to change its foreign policies in accordance with those interests of other CPs, either. Khrushchev's attempt to appease De Gaulle in the midst of the Algerian war, China's attack upon India and many other moves of the Communist powers were undertaken without any consultation with -- or consideration for the interests of -- the Communist Parties of France, Algeria, India or the other countries involved. Contradictions. Genuine internationalism is intrinsically d e m o c r a t s c: it requires cooperation of all nations on a basis of equality, free exchange of opinions and protection of minorities. Communists do not only not concede equal rights or freedom of opinion to non-Communists, they have also methodically curtailed and finally (under Stalin) eliminated all rights of minorities within their own ranks -- which they have condemned. as "factionalism," "deviationism" and worse. Even if all areas under Communist control would have been consolidated into one "world Soviet Republic" (see above), its internationalist character would have been vitiated by the totalitarian methods of Communist dictatorship. Now, however, with a dozen separate Communist regimes and a number of free- world CPs increasingly intent upon their own courses of national action, the contradiction between professed internationalist creed and actual, national or regional, political and organizational practice has become wholly unbridgeable. The Outlook. The developments summarized in the present paper must not make us jump to the conclusion that the WCM is about to disintegrate into national parties or even regional groupings. We must assume that at least in the foreseeable future, i.e. during the next 5 years or so -- Communists in all parts of the world, whatever their tactical, ideological or national differences, will still be held strongly together, at least by their common e n m i t y against the non-Communist world, but also by their common o r i g i n s. Any Communist country can presumably still expect military assistance from any other Communist country (even China from the Soviet Union), if attacked by an outside power.

But while these factors are likely to sustain some degree of cohesion in the WCM, it is equally safe to state that the traditional"monolithic" character-of the WCM has irrevocably disappeared. The contradiction between lip service to orthodox internationalism in doctrine and propaganda, on the one hand, and increasing tactical. adaptation to national interests (including even "great power chauvinism," at least in the cases of Russia and China), on the other hand, is likely to increase steadily. The older the WCM grows, the wider the chasm between its most advanced (or successful) and its most backward (unsuccessful) components, the less effective common ideological and historical ties, the more probable its ultimate splintering into different tendencies-and factions.
