1. The Russians in Hungary have informed the Communist Party. that Stalin
has given instructions to the effect that 1952 and 1953 are to be regarded.
as the great Peace Years. During this period everything will have to be,(
done to frustrate the intentions of the Americans to attack the Soviet Union.
2. It is argued that the Americans could-not launch a.war without the support'
of their Weatexh satellites. Among other measures the economic ones deserve
the greatest attentions. The Western.sAtellites are dependent on economic
aid from America.and so long as they remain in this dependence and can
no alternative for its they must take marching orders from America.
Every possible cause for dissension and difficulty in the economic fields
bet-een America-and Britain and the other Western satellites,, or between
the Western satellites themselves9must therefore be exploited to the full.
For: example, if a Western country experiences difficulty in obtaining raw
materials or goods-from America or from another Western country on account
of high prices, shortage, or distru.et regarding the real end.-user, everything
is to be done to supply that Western country from the East. Eastern countries.

resell them at Western prices. Where absolutely necessary, Russia would be
willing to assist financially and would also supply materials which Eastern
countries could re-export to the West. This measures howeveis. must be

from any other point of view than that of satisfying a Western requirement
under circumstances which might tend to wean the Western country concerned
from its American interests and sympathies. 50X1-HUM
