Briefly Noted
Linus Pauling, Two-Tire Nobel Prize inner
The Noel '?eace Prize Committee of the Nowegian
parliament (Storting) announced on 13 October that the
1902 Peace prize, previously unawasded, would go to
Dr. Linus Carl Pauling of the California Institute of
Technology, while the 1933 Peace 'Prize would be divided
between the International Committee of the Red Cross
and the League of Red Cross Societies, both with head-
quarters in Geneva. ?auling had previously won the
Nobel prize for Chemistry in 1954.
The reasons for the prize awards will not be an-
nounced until December, but the Storting's Committee
,,iay have believed that Pauling was largely responsible
for the conclusion of the nuclear test ban treaty,
which also went into effect on 10 October. Using the
status gained by his first Nobel prize, Pauling for
years conducted a crusade against nuclear testing, cir-
culating his petitions; according to Louis Budenz, he
was unacknowledged CP member in the 1940's. On the
other hand, he denounced the Soviet rewumption of nuclear
testing in 1201, The public often fails to realize that
Pauling's scientific knowledge in the field of chemistry-
he originated a theory on molecular bonds which was, in-
cidentally, rejected by many Soviet scientists on Uarxist-
Leninist grounds---noes not make him an expert on genetics,
radiology, or nuclear p'n sits. When pauling said in 13,9
that Carbon 1 was more dangerous than Strontium 90,
Dr. Robert R, Newell, a Professor 3meritus of Radiology
at Stanford, reuarked : "It is not informative to com-
pare two different elements and their two different
results.... It would take a thousand such bombs to
double the present world level of Carbon 14...." In
December 10SC, the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists commented
on ?auling: "To the mature knoviled eable person, his over-
simplifications and unqualified absolutes tend to seem
irresponsible." It was not ?auling's activity which in-
duced the US and UX governments to propose in 1959, 1931,
25X1nd10 962 the test ban which has now been agreed on.

COMMDRTIST DISSENSIONS
23 September-11 October 1963
Commentary
_ ] INC I'?AL DE DLO:?MID`I'S :
1. This period brought a mounting wave of actions and
"reports by informed sources" indicating that a Soviet cam-
paign to isolate the Chinese Communists and, if necessary,
excommunicate them from the movement is being pushed vigor-
ously. Key statement was a 38-page article in the CPSU's
central theoretical journal Kommunist, "The General Line Of
the Chinese Leadership," which observers erme Moscows most
sweeping denunciation yet of the Chicoms' "wrong, harmful and
dangerous activities," and which appeared to lay the founda-
tion for outlawing the CCp from the VICM. It stated flatly
that "the pernicious theoretical platform and political line
of the Chinese leadership are incompatible with Marxisra-
Leninism and alien in character to the general line of the
international Comiunist movement."
2. Perhaps a clearer indication of Moscow's intent was
found in pravda's giving half a page to a statement by the
obscure Cio Paraguay which declared that fence sitting on
the issue is no longer possible, that Mao's dogmatism has be-
cone the thief danger to the WCM, and that the 1980 Moscow
Declaration (which had put revisionism in first place) sho.ild
be amended to reflect this, "possibly by adopting an additional.
declaration" (which would mean a new conference). It went on
to state that "political isolation of the splitters remains
the only way to preserve unity."
3. Reports that the major Soviet-aligned CP's would
Lleet in Moscow immediately after the 7 November celebration
of the Soviet Revolution anniversary to prepare for a new
"world Communist conference" seemed to be confirmed by the
French Cp's plenary session on 6 October, including ?ravda's
publication of Thorez' speech ('"We M411 decisively support
the convocation of the forthcoming international conference,
which will again confirm the principles of policy of the
Co=unIst Movement,") (See Chronology - October 6). "In-
formed sources" have also reported "secret trips" of Hungarian
boss Kadar and delegates of other C?'s to confer with
I,hrushchev on this subject in recent creeks. The Italian CP's
publication of its comprehensive reply to and denunciation
of the Chinese line and actions (Chronology - September 29)--
while adding nothing new to the polemics -- may well have been
intended to prepare for such a showdown.

of both the C.?SU and the CC?." An overt initiative in this
direction was made in July by Netherlands C? chief De Groot
in a speech published in Party organ Die Waarheid on 1' July
1363, (translated in TICD No. 476, X30-07,17311 dtd 12 Aug-
ust 1963). De Groot specifically proposed "That we first of
all strengthen our contacts with the parties in the capital-
ist countries and come out for a spearate international
council of those parties."
5. The Chinese, engrossed in full exploitation of their
14th anniversary 1 October, added nothing to the battle of
words beyond complaining resentfully at the slurs of "modern
revisionists" who "are most elated in teasing the Chinese
people for being very poor." The Albanians finally published
a massive reply to the 14 July CPSU open letter which con-
tained a few quotable passages.
6. Recent wee1ts have ween the important, "neutral"
Indonesian C? apparently slipping further in the Chinese
direction. (Chronology - September 22k, and several classi-
fied reports).
7. Castro continued to maintain his stance of a "neu-
trality" which seemed to favor the Chinese, even flaunting
Cuba's pose of indecision on the test-ban treaty in a 23
September speech.
3. Among the fronts, the Chinese-boycotted shipborne
"Third World Meeting of Journalists," sponsored by the
Soviet-supported International Committee for Cooperation of
Journalists (ICCJ), concluded with a moderate communique in
tune with the Soviet line; and the Soviet Afro-Asian Trade
Union Conference," attacking the Chinese efforts to exclude
"Soviet workers" and the WFTU and insisting on participation
by all national and international trade union centers wishing
to take part.
Significance:
The initiative remained largely on the Soviet side dur-
ing this period, with strong evidence that the C?SU leaders
and their princizal supporters have decided that the time is
now ripe (particularly in view of broad support of the USSR's
role in the test-ban treaty) to push for a well-prepared con-
ference of the World Communist Movement which would endorse
the Soviet line as the general line of the WCM by an "over-
vthelming majority," thus confronting the Chinese and their
supporters with the alternative of excommunicating themselves
if they do not support this "general line."

Despite this apparent Soviet progress in power politics,
however, the Chinese seemed to be exorting a continuing ideo-
logical attraction on a number of the most important "neutral"
parties, including the Indonesian, which seemed to be slipping
gradually into the Chicom camp, and the Cuban, despite its
daily dependence on heavy Soviet aid for its very existence.
Classified reports during this period described increasing
strength and disruptive activities of pro-Chicom elements with-
in Communist and extreme left orgainiztions in Chile and Ceylon,
among others. The danger of the Chinese appeal, "as they play
the cards of hunger and backwardness with one hand and radi-
cal Marxism with the other," was emphasized by Beirut's pro-
Baathist newspaper Al Kifah in an 13 September editorial
Prompted by the "bitter Chrnese attacks against the Soviet
Union" at the M?SO executive Conference in Cyprus (see PO
#12). The writer, Maurice Saqr, stated that the Chinese argu-
ments seem logical from the Marxist point of view, especially
to the deprived masses of the underdeveloped countries, and
called the dangor of Chinese Communist infiltration in these
areas both "imtediate and great." (Sagr's answer to the
Chinese danger: a program of massive assistance (presumably
Soviet) to raise the standard of living of the masses in the
25X1C10b underdeveloped nations!)

#14 28 September-11 October 1963
SW ember 2? - Izvestiya publishes an article by I. Kvaskov on
the anti-Soviet hyster a being whipped up in China by the Chinese
leaders. In Dalniy, where "Soviet ships are repaired under the
Soviet-Chinese trade agreement, and where, naturally their crews
have to stay," signs appeared on the doors of clubs reading in
Russian: "Foreigners not allowed." "What is happening in
Dalniyis unheard-of in relations between socialist countries."
The 1963 annual supplement to the Great Soviet Encyclopedia
carries a freshly re-written article on na re ''Iect ng the
changes in relations over the past year as it depicts everything
as going badly there. Whereac last year the Encyclopedia attri-
buted China's difficulties to natural calamities alone, they are
now due to: (1) the unrealistic "great leap forward" policy
practiced since 1958; (2) China's loosening of economic ties with
the USSR and other socialist countries; and (3) China's refusal
to participate in international socialist division of labor and
insistence on relying on its own forces. The article also
expands considerably over last year's brief treatment of the
"large ethnic minorities" in the CPR, with particular attention
to the Turkic language group in the areas adjoining Soviet Cen-
tral Asia.
September 29 - The Italian CP daily l'Unita carries a special 16-
page supplement heade nd the Chinese Comrades, Texts and
Comments on the Divergencies with the Chinese Communist Party."
The introduction traces the history of "the Chinese attack
against the line followed by the majority of the Communist Partied'
to its "peak of bitterness" during the Cuban crisis last year.
"It is from that moment that the Chinese polemics degenerate
into street-fighting, insults, unwarranted verbal violence. The
Italian Communists were accused of parliamentary cretinism, the
French of stupid servility, the Soviet Communists of degeneracy
and treason." The Italian Communists, it says, "had' to argue
and fight,...because the Chinese Communists were attacking and
denying, often without even knowing it well, a political and
ideologica structure wh we have built up, both through our
independent efforts and working in common with other parties,
through long years of struggles." Four documents with self-
explanatory titles follow: "Peace and Revolution"; "The XXth
Congress and Stalin"; "Our Experience"; and "Against ractionalism
in the Working Movement." The last of these repeats Soviet
charges that the Chinese recruit individuals to struggle against
the majority in parties and mass organization, and even "try to
win over to its side entire parties," "making use of the leaders
of the Albanian Labor Party" for this purpose, and "supporting
splinter groups everywhere: in Belgium, France, Brazil, Australia,
United States, Greece, Switzerland, even Italy itself." Pravda
re-publishes these materials on 8 October, and Tass distri ~ues
a summary.

In Djakarta, PKI Chairman Aidit delivers a speech on "ques-
tions facing the international Communist movement" to a meeting
of 1,000 activists welcoming home the Aidit-led delegation which
had just visited 5 countries in 10 weeks, spending 3 weeks in the
USSR, 1 in Cuba, 1 in East Germany, 3 in China and 1 in North KcM
A brief 1 October Antara (official Indonesian agency) account
indicates that Aidit continued balancing between the Soviets
and the Chinese, though his speech apparently has a noticeable
Chinese accent. Aidit acknowledges that the ICM is going through
a momentous process of "selection, crystallization and consoli-
dation." in which the Indonesian Commun sts oug to play a
bigger role. The selection is to determine who are the "genuine
Marxist-Leninists" and who-are the "false Marxist-Leninists or
revisionists." Aidit calls this process the "ideological
steeling" (tempering?) of the ICM. A longer NCNA report (to
which the Chinese papers devote half a page on the 5th) has Aidit
saying that the PKI "not only rejected the baton of any other CP
but also will not allow any baton to be waved within the Party
itself." He also expressed the PKI's hope that the CPSU-CCP
bilateral meetings be continued, and that, "on a rotation basis,
the place for the next talks should be Peking."
Meanwhile, the Chinese were giving royal treatment to a
"delegation of the Indonesian Cooperation Parliament" led by
M.H. Lukman, Deputy Speaker of the Parliament as well as First
Vice Chairman of the PKI CC, which arrived in Peking on the 27th
at the invitation of Chu To, Chairman of the NPC Standing Com-
mittee, and, simultaneously, a delegation of Indonesian journal-
ists led by the Secretary General of the Indonesian Journalists
Association, "vrho spoke highly of the support given by Chinese
journalists to the conference of Afro-Asian journalists." (NCNA)
In Tokyo, Akahata reports JCP CC Chairman Nosaka as affirm-
ing at a press conference on the 27th that "The JCP will not
side with one party or the other in the Sino-Soviet dispute....
The dispute should be settled in accordance with the Moscow
Declaration and the Moscow Statement which represent Marxism-
Leninism."
In Belgrade,, Borba turns against the Chinese one aspect of
their 26September attack on Yugoslavia (see last issue of
Chronology) pointing to its assertiou? that in 1954 China con-
sented to regard Yugoslavia as a fraternal socialist country
only on the request of dhrushchev. it follows, says Borba, that
in appraising Yugoslavia's social system at that timetie Chinese
leadership was "guided by narrow-minded political ambitions and
strategic designs" rather than the facts. Now their unscrupulous
attacks on Yugoslavia as a capitalist country are also made to
gain definite political ends.
September 30 - In a long speech at a Polish-East German friend-
ship rar in Warsaw on the occasion of Ulbricht's visit, Polish
chief Gomulka endorses "the recent CPSU statement" and accuses
the nese of harming the international socialist movement by

their inadmissible polemics. Pointing to France's calm refusal
to sign the test-ban treaty when her views differed from those of
her allies, he asks why the Chinese could not have done the same.
Ulbricht's speech on the same occasion avoids the issue.
Pravda devotes half a page to excerpts from a Paraguay CP
statemen n support of the CPSU's position, stating ME "Me
wait-and-sec position, the position of sitting on the fence, is
objectively impassible,"that "the dogmatic deviation of Mao
Tse-tung has become the chief clanger within the ICM," and "there-
fore, it would be correct to amend" the Declaration of 1960 to
reflect this, "possibly by adopting an additional declaration."
It goes on to warn that "political isolation of the splitters
remains the only way to preserve unity." This Latin call to
get off the fence was published alongside of a Tass account of
a 28 September "neutral" Castro speech in which-'he flaunts
Cuba's pose of indecision on signing the test-ban treaty, --
although Tass omitted Castro's remarks on the treaty.
Ett the CP Secretary Gasperoniin Spa Marino, world's smallest
republic, at a rally of 2000 Communists accuses Khrushchev of
edging too close to capitalist policies of the West and failing
to give adequate attention to the achievements of the Chinese
Party.
October 1 - The Communist world marked the 14th anniversary of
the PR's founding with the usual celebration in Peking, recep-
tions by Chinese embassies and messages from around the cworld.
There were no Soviet or East European (other than Albanian) rep-
resentatives among the "distinguished foreign guests" at the
Peking demonstration, but greetings from all were reported..
The Soviet greeting and editorials in Pravda and Izvestiya empha-
size the importance of selfless Soviet--a id" in the ibera ion of
China and the building of the R, and the latter goes on to say
that "the Soviet people react with bitterness and regret to the
attempts of certain persons to sow mistrust and hostility toward
the Soviet Union among the Chinese people." The Chinese press
subsequently reported that anniversary articles attac'; ng the
CPR were printed in Pravda. Izvestiya and Krasnaya Zvosda.
On the Chinese side, Peng Chen's celebration speech, eapha-
:izing Chinese triumphs over "natural disasters," says that "we
have won a growing number of friends, contrary to the desire of
the imperialists, reactionaries, modern revisionists and modern
coo matists to isolate China." The Red Flag editorial, same a e,
talks about "some people who call t erase ves Marxist-Leninists"
who have been recruited as "members of the anti-China chorus
under the U.S. imperialist baton.... They insist that China 'is
at present in economic recession,?" and 'allegedly say that the
Chinese people drink only diluted soup and have no trousers, and
so forth."' These "modern revisionists are most elated in
teasing the Chinese people for being very poor; therefore they
look down upon the Chinese people."

Belgrade "the sharpest criticism and denunciation yet of the
Chinese leadership's wrong, harmful and dangerous activities."
The text reportedly denounces a long list of ideological and
political crimes of the Chinese leaders and states: "All this
compels us to disclose that the pernicious theoretical platform
and political line of the Chinese leadership are incompatible
v?ith Marxism-Leninism and alien in character to the general line
of the international Communist movement." Reuters reports from
Hoscow that "the statement is seen here as laying the basis for
a possible 'outla;ving' of the CC? " and the New York Times

"But the fact that every two months we see a new Com-
munist manifesto appearing shows very clearly the real
value of these documents."
Also, passages at the end of Part I attack "the N. Khrushchev
group" for accusing the Chinese of racism and "Genghis Khan
tendencies," of trying to exploit fear of the "yellow peril."
"Such an accusation against a Marxist-Leninist party and against
a socialist country is not fortuitous coming from the mouth of
the N. Khrushchev group, which is deeply imbedded in the mire of
great state chauvinism. ...it has in reality endeavored to
establish the domination of the Tsars in the socialist camp and
the ICM."
October 5 - All Peking papers give prominence to reports of
reception by Mao and other top leaders of "delegations of minor-
ity nationalities" in Peking for the National Day celebration,
naming Sinkiang, Inner Mongolia, Tibet and a half dozen other
provinces,- as though in reply to recent Soviet reports of
troubles in Sinkiang.
October 6 - A plenary session of the CC of the French CP brought
strong speeches y Secretary Frei (Who returned as month from
a visit to the USSR) and Vice Secretary Rochet and a Resolution
on the split. Rochet's anti-Chinese diatribe fills two pages
of Humanite on the 8th and the Resolution is printed on the 9th.
The resolution denounces the "noxious, profoundly pessimistic,
dangerous, adventurous, erroneous and abusive" attitude of the
Chinese leaders, rejects "the so-called general line" set forth
in their 14 June letter and states the French Party's call for
an international conference for the defense of the uni y of

"a broadly representative preparatory committee" which "should
comprise representatives of all national trade union centers and
international trade union federations that have expressed or will
express a wish to tape part in the meeting." It attacks the
Chinese for reviving the "problem" of whether the USSR belongs
to the Asian countries and for objecting to the participation of
the World Federation of Trade Unions. And Soviet Russia carried
