been followed up by any further comparable identification of the current internatianel e.itua-
tion with that
prevailing at the time of Hitler a attack on the L63R, Soviet-Communist
"warnings" to the U.S. "aggreeeore"continue, however; and attacks on the latter'e eJ1egedinter-
national Immorality make use of various emoti l charged epithets, including "bonete of
prey," a Phrase reminiscent of the Soviets' wartime hate-campaign against the Germans. All
!Soviet commentaries continue to reiterate the contention that the Americans have "gone aver
froms preparing aggression to open acts of eggr s'si on. IT Some fourm eri
Ong ng continues, as dose
the worldwide Soviet-Communist "Protest" campaign condemning American "aggression" against
7 Korea . Although sympathy for the Korean "peop of" is always exproaeod, and "support" of their
cauee urged, there have been as yetlno explioi,,appeals for morelthan moral support. The "pro-
test" caupeign is regularly associated with the Live for signatures to the Stockholm "Peace"
Appeal. Gromyko's statement has not been followed by extensive ropercunsione from either
Soviet-Communist or Woetorn -oriented eourcoa. The) former praise land paraphrase it; tho latter

FFi1F i, (NGiRThG: In the context of attention to the Korean situation, the first! Soviet-C mm;anist
allusion to the possibility of an "imperialist" attack on the U3SR'e European Satellites occurs
in c1Radio Warsaw commentary, It is directed against the American imperialists' Greek "varlets"
who 'Support Washington's "aggression" apeinst Torea and' who themselves are
provoking incidents
along their northern borders, Says Warsaw:
"In collaboration with the traitors of Belgrade, the Athena monercho-fascists are ready to
attack the Peopleta Democracies of Albania and Bulgaria iamadiately on receipt of orders
from the warmongers of Washington and London. Such an attack would noturally,bo,the pre-
lude to a war by the imperialist camp against the Soviet Union and! the People's Democ cies,"
The Soviet-controlled Berlin radio continues its fearm Igering with a comments.,',; warning against
taking consolation from the fact that Korea is thousands of miles away, i "The U.S. B-29'a would
be available for the ,bombing of German cities just as quickly as they were 'able to fly to ?forth
Korea," And the comr~entator concludes that although the U.S. has so far confined itself to
dropping Colorado beetles ! over Flastern Germany, there can be no doubt of its readiness to drop
ember the Korean example shows that "the flaming torch of war respects] no degrees of latitude
or zonal boundaries,"
ROMYKO'S STATENI T: Although
moat monitored Soviet -Communist prriiees and paraphrases of
roayko's statement make reference to his claim of Soviet non-intervention it is stressed In only
hreelcommentaries, one from Radio Warsaw and two from Soviet-controlled Berlin. The former
ontraets the ostensible Soviet policy with the "brazen intervention of the' Americans" in Korea,
nd declares that the peoples living under the capitalist system "are being pushed Into th~a~
byes of war by the American imperialists and their Ihropean satellites!" The 'latter claim
hat the only reason the world is still at peace is because of the USSR's "calmat e" and
ate "unambiguous policy of', non-intervent'on"; by not falling for the U.S. provocati on) the i.ESR
has averted the immediate) danger of war,)" Criticism of the Security Council continuee to con-
entrate not on the U',N, as such, but or America's perv-~reion of it into a "tool utilized by
he imperialist circl'es.., to unleash czar, " R.,dio Parie~ broadcasts the (French Government'al',
ritical analysis of Gromyko's m'sstetem'Inte of fact. And the Nationalist Chinese radio at
fret reports Brit!.eh speculation as to the c'k'reebouts of Vlshineky; 'lunleee he has been de-
oeed, he must be on cone special task elsewhere," According to one opinion, he "is now In
faking carrying on negotiations between the Kremlin and Mao, " (A previous speculation,
ttributed to Baltic emigre sources, had him In Korea supervising Soviotization~of the "liber-
tad" areas,)
