Fourth of a series.
By DrV>D SNE?LL,
Staff Writer.
Jozeph Stalin is fighting a
creeping war-and counting upon
the West to lose it by de;aait.
It is being fought in the colo-
nial, semicofonial and dependent
lands of Asia and the Midcie East,
and in Africa and South and Cen-
tral America. The battle cry is
"Death to imperialism!"
Throughout the primary target
area, which is Asia and the Mid-
dle East, Stalin is building revolu-
tions by stages-and hoping his
enemies will not wake up to the
fact until it is too late.
For each country the revolu-
tionary stages are three. They
follow the classic formula that was
tested successfully in china.
Foreigr.ers the Tergef.
"The distinguishing feature of
the first stage" . wrote Stalin,
"is (that) , it was directed
mainly against foreign oppres-
sion."
Today, in Egypt, Iran, Iraq and
Morocco, open and concealed Com-
munists-with plenty of unwitting
popular support-are howling for
the scalps of foreigners.
"Let us now proceed to the sec-
ong stage," Stalin continued. "
the distinguishing feature . is
that the edge of the revolution is
now directed-mainly against inter-
nal enemies. .
In India, where the British no
longer rule, the Communists have
turned on Prime Minister Jawa-
harlal Nehru, and made of hi:.
the No. 1 bogey man. Nehru
seems destined to become India's
Chiang Kai-shek.
The third stage, wrote Stalin, is
the "consolidation of the dictator
ship of the proletariat." Then i
is all over.
Stalin Confident.
The fire burning in the Middle
East has been fanned relentlessly
by Communist agents. This follows
the classic blueprint, as set down
in Stalin's unexpurgated "Marx-
ism and the National and Colonial
Question."
There, as elsewhere, Stalin feels
confident of success. His confi-
dence stems from a belief that the
West will never accept the so-
called backward nations as full
and equal partners.
"National e q u a Ii ty and .
friendly collaboration between na-
tions," he wrote, "are unachievable
and inconceivable under the rile
of capitalism."
It goes almost without saying
that the Communists shouting the
slogans of nationalism are insin-
cere. The "Programme of the
Communist International" is ex-
plicit on this point:
"When a revolutionary situation
is developing, the party advances
certain transitional slogans a n d
demands corresponding to the
concrete situation: but these (ie-
"We always said that it was im-
po sable t adopt the policy of dis-
crediting and replacing the .
Kuoming ang leadership before it
had run its course as a bourgeois
revo'utionary government, a n d
that it must first be allowed to
run its course before practically
raising the question of replac-
ing it."
As an example of how the for-
mula works today, consider the
Philippines.
On July 4, 1946, the independent
Rep-iblie of the Philippines was
proclaimed in accordance with the
Tydings-McDuffie Act passed by
the Congress of the United States
in 1)34. While this obviously was
in no way the doing of Commu-
nif-ts, ' it served to advance the
revolution in that country to the
second stage.
When Mme. Aurora Quezon,
widow of the first President of the
Philippines, Manuel Quezon, was
ambushed and slain by Commu-
ni t-led Huk guerrillas in April,
191S, a shock wave shuddered
through the free world.
`Ha?shig the Question.'
Mme. Quezon was a symbol of
Philippine independence. H e n
voic had s p o k e n eloquently-
against communism. Her assassi-
nation was the sign that "the
bourgeois revolutionary govern-.
moat" had run its course, and
that the Communists were "rais-

M1ines is in its thif
mel stage.
'Ir - a T 'tTiree stages of
any other colonial-style Commu
ni ,t revolution, wrote Stalin, "in-.
tense work must be carried on
with the help of concealed Com-
munists."
On that point, consider India..
The Communists have endeavored
to plant their agents in the Indian
government at all levels. These
agents can commit espionage, in-
fluence state policy in accordance
with party line and, when the
opportune time arrives, assist in
the liquidation of non-Communist
officials. All the while, the Chi-
neso Red army is poised to spring
frerr. Tibet.
IHa:, to Identify Them?
How can these concealed Com-
municts be identified? Sometimes
wa may suspect them by their
deeds. Take, for exam?le, Sardar
K. M. Panikkar, India's Ambassa-
dor to Communist China and
teen, orary member of the Indian
delegation to the United Nations,

alarming affection for the regime

when they shout "Egypt for thee

They would shout that the moon

them win unwitting mass support
among native populations. With-
out such support the cause of the
revolution is lost. Stalin wrote:

Thus, in 1926, Stalin declared

] he plan is found in Stalin's
hook "Marxism and the National
and Colonial Question" (unexpur-
gated), providing important clues
that bear on the true nature of
the feud and its possible useful-
ness to the Soviet Union. This book
is today the bible and blueprint of
Soviet foreign policy, but it is little
known in the United States out-
side of Communist circles.
Published in 1927, the book
shows that Stalin drafted his
Yugoslavian "secession" program
two years earlier and called upon
the Communist party of Yugosla-
via to adept it officially. Neither
Yugoslavia nor the international
Communist movement has ever re-
nounced it.
Significantly, Yugoslavia and
China were the only countries sin-
gled out fer special discussion in
the book. The reason, as advanced
by Stalin, was that both would
vary from the normal pattern of
revolution in colonial and depend-
ent nations. Stalin devoted an
entire chapter to each.
The Chinese revolution, Stalin
explained, varied from the norm
because of the predominance of
military questions. The 'Chinese
Red army was destined to win the
revolution, assist in the spread of
communism elsewhere and defend
the Soviet Union.
Two Factors in Yugoslavia.
Yugoslavia, Stalin pointed out,
required special consideration ?be-
cause of two factors:
1. Like the Soviet Union, it had
to deal with the ,prc?blem of na-
tional entities within its borders,
and, more importantly`...
'2. It enjoyed a "special position
in regard, to international rela-
tions."
"We must... bear in mind the
circumstance that Yugoslavia is
not a fully independent country...
and that. . . she cannot escape the
great play of forces that is at work
outside Yugoslavia," Stalin wrote.
"If you are drawing up a na-
tional program for the Yugoslav
party-and this is precisely what
we are dealing with-you must re-
member that this program must
be based on.. . what is developing
and what will inevitably occur by
virtue of international relations.
That is why I think that the
question of ... self-determination
should be regarded as an immedi-
ate and burning question.
"Now about the national pro-
gram (of the Yugoslav Commu-
nist party). As the starting point
we must postulate a Soviet rev-
olution in Yugoslavia. . . It is im-
perative to include in the national
program a special point on.. .
secession.
"Finally, the program should in-
clude a special point providing for
national territorial autonomy .. .
in Yugoslavia ...."
Foresaw War.
Stalin wrote that the question of
autonomy would have to be re-
solved during or following World
War II-the coming of 'which he
clearly foresaw.
"Even if we admit that at the
moment this question is net an
immediate one," he wrote, "it
might 'definitely become immedi-
ate if war begins, or when war
begins.. .That war will inevitably
begin and that they over there

Europe's scat under-belly.
Bound up 'wi'th this unique i eo-
gra, hic situation is the all-
impor-tant question of the role
Yugo-la via will play in any new Euro-.
peon war.
Three courses are open to Tito:
He could fight en the side of the
Allies or on the side of Stalin. Or.
he could remain "neutral."
If Tito takes sides either way,
an Allied attack could be launched
uga'nst Stalin 'through Yugosla
vio.n.territory. But if he remains
re u.ral, no Allied scldies, under
the rules of neutrality, could touch

could do it.
Up to now, Tito has given abso-
lu,tely no assurance that he would
abandon neutrality. We have only
his vague, Aesopian mumbo-jumbo
about standing "on the side of
peace."
'independence An Illusion.
What would be the character of
Yugoslavian "neutrali'ty?" Would
it ba genuine neutrality? Again,
Stalin provides the clue:
`When a life-and-death 'struggle
is being waged ... between prole-
tarian Russia and the imperialist
entente, only two alternatives
co:_cnt the border regions. Either
they join 'forces with Russia ... .cr
they join forces with the entente.
There is no third solution.
Sc called independence .. is only
ai; illusion."
'Thus, r n illusionary "neutrality"
in Yugoslavia would mask com-
pl _ a: alliance with the Soviet
Unicn. The practical advantages,
from Stalin's standpoint, are 'at
once apparent.
1. A neutral Yugoslavia would
shield Europe's under-belly.
2. It would provide Stalin with
an outlet to the warm 'waters of
the Mediterranean, enabling him
to receive strategic supplies and
materials from Asia and 'the
Middle East 12 months 'in the
year.
3. It would provide Stalin with
a point of liaison with secret

Lea Resistance Forces.
Who is Tito? He is Josef Eros,
an cld-line Communist agent and
professional revolutionary. Hand-
picked by Stalin, Tito 'went into
Yugoslavia in World War II 'with
the mission of grabbing control of
the resistance forces of the heroic
Ccl. Draja Mikhailovitch.
Following the classic pattern,
Tito tried to form a coalition or
united front with Mikhaiiov..bc'h,
who wouldn't buy it. England,
and then the United States, sided
with Tito. Mikhailovitc:h was
thrown to the wolves.
With the collapse of the Nazis,
Tito set up a typical 'puppet gov-
ernment, staffed at all levels 'by
re'isble Moscow-trained,Ccmmu-
nists. ' But came the Stalin-Tito
split and the whole crowd of them
went along with Tito-or so we
are asked to believe.
Let's 'face it. Communists just
don't behave that 'way. When Earl
Brc vder was expelled from the
Arserican Communist party on or-
ders from Moscow, his supposedly
royal pals turned on him like so
many cobras.
