Priefly Toted iaicoms Condemn Yugoslav "Capitalism" A recent release by the llewwr China News Agency (I1 1A) summarized a ed1 Flag article which charged that Yugoslavia's economy has t? agene:catecl into a capitalist economy" and assailed "a,hrt hchev and his follotvors for stubbornly asserting" that the .'ugoslav econoziy is socialist. Red Flag pros-,anted "facts" to prove that the relationship between "the Tito group" and Yugoslav work-.1:?s 1 that of 'lei ploityr and exploited - ruler and ruled." By endorsing Yugoslav policies, aeci ?'lag statecd, the Coviet leaders are introducing in the USEhrave danger of the restoration of capital- ism.,' Yugoslavia is still a Communist state, although the Chinese are correct in saying that the Yugoslav economy has shifted in a number of ways from Lewin-Stalin doctrine. The Yugoslav economy has many unorthodoir feature;, such as workers councils and open markets, and state controls are more intslli ently used. The most significant feature is the Yugoslav government's effort to let the l mar!:et -- not administra- tive rulings alone -- play a role in deciding how resources should be allocated. What the Chinese c1o not mention is that Yugoslav economic well-being, both national and per capita, has risen steadily and in direct proportion to the ree- me's lessening of executive force as an instrument to shape the economy. Mlile the base from which the Yugoslav economy started was low and percentage growth therefore high, the improvement is nonetheless; noteirorthy. The Yugoslavs' 1963 "Social Plan" called for an increase in the "Social Product" (equivalent to Gross National Product) of 0.3% over 1962. The increase achieved was 1n%. The 1963 living standard went up sharply in such terms as Real Personal Income (up 7.6%a over 1062 in- stead of the planned 4.5%) and Personal Consumption (up 7 - over 1062 instead of the planned 4 The 1964 Social elan calls for continuing increases in each of these categories over the 1002 Plan, and there is every indication that the goals will be met, as the Yugoslav Social Plans tend more and more to be built un from below rather than dictated by executive fiat from above. To non--Communist audiences vie air this evidence of the CC?0 doggedly demanding the imposition of economic authori- taria.nisr, along with political dictatorship In other countries in spite of the superiority demonstrated by even a part of the free enterprise system, the free market, wherever the latter has been allowed to coipete with doctrinaire Harxist economic methods. s7e point out that this amounts to a clear ne ation A r& d ft*qWWa3b 40t*fCd&RDB 06.

Ieinz Brandt, editor of the ;'lest German raetal workers' trade union paper, flew to 'last Berlin in June 1001 to cover a congress for Lis passer but vanished. A weer; later the East German news agency A.D1I announced that he had been arrested as a Western agent. Following a secret trial by the East German Supreme Court, a 13-year prison sentence was announced on May 10, 1062. Brandt was a veteran Communist who spent 11 years in Nazi concentration ca?.ips. After 1945, he worried in the CP propa- ganda department In 3ast Berlin. He was purged for "deviat: on- ism" in l?05t_. In 1953, the Brandt faxily, including three Graz lam. children, fled to West Germany because of the impending danger of arrest for political reasons. 11-:(is abduction from lest Berlin in 1:61 set off a continuing chain of protests by international organizations and leading 117ectern figures. Brandt was released and permitted to return to West Germany on 20 May 1^04. Shedding some light on the I'idnapping, he re- ported that on 16 June 1951 he had a neeting with a West Berlin woman who had been introduced to him earlier by Beyerlein, a I'iest German petal wor.rers' union functionary. Shortly before leaving the woman's hone, she offered Brandt a drink which con- tained a drug. Brandt collapsed in the street but remembers that 4 men carne up to hina, stating: "VIe have been waiting for you." Brandt cape to in a building of the East German State Security Service. In a letter dated 14 May 1964, postmar1ed in Vienna on 13 nay, i.e. prior to any news about Brandt's in-pending release, Beyerlein informed his i?nJ.on that lie was terminating his employ- ment effective June 70 a.%,d would erpIti.u his action in "due cour:3e." In the me^. tir~e, leg .l prf ~c ~ v~aag s have been instituted agalast Beyerlein ico :~ all red 1.ssis t4-area in the kidnapping. Beyerlein's rrhereaboats are unknown at this writing. According to the union, Beyerlein became a Nazi ?arty :aeanber in 1925, was throvn out of the ?arty in 1950 but sought desperately to be re-admitted. Be ,.rtererd the Coraralunist -Party in 1945 and remained a me:.gaber until 1955. Since September 1957 he had beer- in the employ of the metal workers' union in a train- ing capacity, and had worked in another union since 1050. is earlier Cyr membership was known to the metal workers'. union. Brandt reported some details about his imprisonment and trial.e had been assured his release if he were willing to declare that he came to Nast Germany voluntarily, would induce his family to follow hi i, and renounce publicly his political activities in the West. Brandt had given Beyerlein so=jae docu- ments for safe'.-.eeping before a vacation trip, the contents on which were used a ainst him in the trial.

But the Brandt affair is also a vivid illustration of Communist tactics of subversion and violence and should be used as a re- ninder that peaceful co-existence policies notwithstanding, Co.;nnunist goals and tactics do not change fundamentally. lm artial Answer to Panama Charges. The International Co:uUssion of Jurists' committee ? three -- from the Netherlands, Sweden and India -- investigated charges by the National Bar Association of ""?anama that the United States had violated the Human 'E-fights Declaration in the rioting which was set off last January over flying the Panamanian flag in the Canal Zone. The Jurists, an unofficial organization of judges, lawyers and professors of lava in most of the non-Communist countries (recognized by the United Nations and with its seat in Geneva) absolved the United States of any such violation and found the Government of ?anama negli- gent in its handling of the riots which were inflamed and ex- tended by organized Corasnunist activity. The jurists noted that this was "one of the first occasions" on which '.ey provisions of the Universal Declaration of Huiian Eights were "invo7ed and construed authoritatively." They sug- gested that this may be "a major contribution" to the evolution of a workable international jurisprudence. Certainly it is a precedent for future opportunities to make use of such an organi- zation in peaceful, juridical solutions to similar emotional con- flicts with potentially ugly international consequences.

This rehashing of history affords Com- munist propagandists handy opportunities during the quarter- century anniversary to clean up Moscow's soiled image in the eyes of new generations and less sophisticated individuals. Scholarly attempts by historians to identify the single or primary "cause" for the outbreak of war 1939 thus far not been successful. Hitler is generr.?-'. Q} < i- i~ti i:h lion's share of blame, though the objective consent s is that EEitler's aims were greatly supported by Stalin as well as by Western myopia and diplomatic errors. A prime factor that is too often ignored or glossed over is that Hitler and his Third Reich could not have come to power in any case without the support of the German Communist Party, acting under rec ons from Moscow. Altho-Ugh causes leading to can be trace act along numberless lines, it is unnecessary to look further than the events of the year 1939 itself to demolish the Kremlin's claims to anti-Fascism, "love of peace" or international good faith. The relatively peaceful period of the winter of 1933-9 which the apparent success of Munich had bestowed on the nations of Europe was shattered by Hitler's brutal takeover of dis- nembered Czechoslovakia in March, 1939. Everything thereafter in international relations in Europe flowed directly or indi- rectly from this grave violation of the pledged word by the German dictator. With the Nazi occupation of Prague it had be- come quite clear that Eitler was not concerned with the revision of the Versailles Treaty nor with the principle of national self- determination, but simply with naked conquest. The destruction of Czeclioslovaltia revealed the Nazi's true intentions and led to British guarantees to Poland and other States in East Europe. By the summer of 1939 all the great pow- ers in Europe had entered into firm political and military en- gageT:ients with one exception - the Soviet Union. Both sides then attempted to obtain the support of the Soviet Union, the one Power which still enjoyed a certain freedom of movement and decision. The diplomatic struggle for Soviet support took place wide range of documentation supports this point. Four books that bear it out are: Soviet Espionage, Dallin; Russia and the West Under Lenin an Stalin, ennan; A Century of "on, ict, :_ ossony; and e _ o cs o otalitarian sm, o n A.

On the visible front, the Western Powers sought to bring the Soviet Union into a defensive system to prevent fur- ther aggression by IUi.tler. The possibility of the two ideo- logically hostile totalitarian States coming together on ques- tions pertaining to the Eastern European States was considered out of the question by the Vest. The German efforts to secure Soviet support took place on the secret front, though they are now known to a very large extent from the published archives* of the German Foreign Office. These efforts centered on the fact that Poland was the next victim on Hitler's schedule of conquest, and he desired to forestall interference by the Soviet Union, or even to induce it to join in the attack on Noland. T7hether the actual moving force behind the Ger-pan-Soviet pact of 1333 was primarily Nazi or Soviet will probably never be known fog certain in the absence of f i. rs -- t ~~ nd e ~'ideY~ ce as to the secret intentions of Soviet forei~,n 'k:::.icy at ti- tim3. At the end of July, however, the Germans con-Li.-anted the Soviets with a clear alternative: what could Britain offer the Soviet Union, afid what could Germany? Britain could at best offer participation in a iuropean war and the enmity of Germany,whi h could. scarcely be worth-while goals for Eussia. Germany, on the other hand, could offer "neutrality and the hope of staying out of a possible European coif list, and, if Moscow wished, a German-Pussian understanding on matters of mutual interest which would be to the advantage of both countries as in earlier times."** The secret agreement according to which the whole political system of Eastern and Central Europe sang to be divided between Germany and the Soviet Union was beginning to take shape. Amongst other factors which had long affected Nazi actions was the desire to avoid a war on two fronts. Their scheme had been to destroy or neutralize all potential enemies on Germany's eastern border before opening an attack on the West. Faced with Japan's aggressive attitude and the undeclared Soviet-Japanese 17ar, Moscow had similar causes for apprehension. Thus the two mowers ended by helping each other out of the snares they had laic? or were on the point of laying for each other. Stalin's Foreign Minister Molotov signed the German-Soviet treaty of non-aggression with Hitler's Foreign Minister nib- bentrop on 23 August. He also signed the secret appendix which divided the spheres of interest of Ritler's Germany and Stalin's US U in Eastern and Central Europe. 17estern statesmen did not, at least openly, challenge the Soviet contention that the pact was for "peaceful" purposes or point out its political and legal meaning -- i.e. that each side was thereby free to concentrate a ression against third nations.
