The Russian papers are not spu- ing space in their reporting of the important conference. A check of Pravda during the first 13 days of the meeting shows that a little more than one quarter of the total space in this leading paper is be- ing devoted to Berlin. This a- mounts to one full page out of four per day on the average. Present Soviet Case But the overwhelming bulk of this is being used to present di- rectly and indirectly the Soviet case. Pravda gave 34 full columns to the speeches. addresses and le- marlul of Molotov while the West- ern foreign ministers among them received I4 columns. Pravda presents MolotoN's state- ments in full and factually. so far the paper has not pvublisli.-d one full speech of any one of the three Western ministers. Instead Pravda has reported their remarks with editcriallzation. BorIlLl:arloy Continued from page I ditions under which he would sign an Austrian treaty at this conference are: 1. If the right to keep' Soviet froopa in Austria is guaranteed after the treaty signing-until there is a peace treaty for divid- ed Germany. too. 2. if Austria is forever banned from alliance with the West. These conditions, proposed last week, were rejected by Foreign Secretary Eden, Foreign Minister Bidault. Dulles and Austrian Fol- clgn Minister Leopold Figl. Dulles accused Molotov of per- petratlng a "fraud" in his hand. ling of the Austrian independence question. In a speech accompany- ing his challenge for signing a pact. the American said Moscow's position would mean that tiny Austria and its 7.000.000 people would be "indefinitely subjugat- ed." "The United States is not pre- pared to he a party to trying to compel Austria to pay a great price for independence and then denying that independence. We he-lieve that would be a fraud and we are not prepared to be apariy to such a fraud.” Dulles declared.

When Eden stated that Britain could never agree to a treaty that would nddloAuatrla with the Russians. Molotov tnrtly replied that Eden had been "read- lng too many British newnpape 3" and that they must have "falsi- fied" his viewpoint.

As previously announced in the. press, the general chairman of the campaign is Mr. Carl Burke. 0.3 E managing director of Maritime Ravoalilusidlous l Continued from page 1 holding up to criticism and ridicule those ex-Communists who lestiIy' against the conspiracy. Further! more. he revealed how books by- pro-Communisis and favourable to the Soviet viewpoint were invari- ably pralsed by pro-Communist re-. viewers ill several leading Amcrl-i ' can journals, He cited Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt's ”glowln.g account" of her meeting with Marshall Tito of Jugcslavla as helpful to the Com-'. munlsts. While Mr. B-udenz be-I lieves that Mrs. Roosevelt is not a Communists. he classifies her with those "Ty-phoid Marys” who are very useful to the Communist cause. A "Typhoid Mary." according to M.r. Budenz, is a non-Communist who carries the Communist line. It is a soviet objective, he explain- ed. to make Communist "trans- mission belts" of all non-Commurh lst organizations. To further their cause communists will use any means. moral or immoral. , Several times during the two- hour address Mr. Budenz referred to Communist infiltration into the i Dr. sident educational system. He was partic- ularly critical of Professor John: Dewey's philosophy of pragmatic": relativism, and its usefulness to; Commu iisin. Stating that Com- munisn thrives where God is. ignored and absolute values are denied. he cited Deweyism as an ex- 1 ample of ll. non-Communist souirce. that is used to serve Soviet ends. l l A World Outlook l "Soviet Communism," Mr.1 Budenz said. "is not so much a social or an economic point of view as it is a world outlook which isl determined to prove. by means of dialectical materialism. ihnt God. does not exist." It offers the vision: of a completely materialistic Uioplai that would satisfy all of man's animal needs and free him from; illness. neuroses. unemployment,1 and other hardships. The driving force behind Mr, Bude.nz's ardent anti-Communist labours at present is. a firm real- ization that on his hands. as well as on the hands of the other members of the Communist con- spiracy in the United States. is the blood of 165,000 American casualt- ies n Korea. 'mrnng to the present internat- ional situation. of which Korea is the most obvious tragedy, Mr. Budens declared that there can be no truce or negotiation with Soviet Rulisia. "The sooner the leadership arises which can convince the Western dem i of this, and lead them to rock the foe back on his heels. the sooner will our soc- iety be free." he said. ”The Com- munist line today is negotiation ....and yet all negotiations will come to the same end as those in Berlin. To negotiate with Russia is to mortgage the lives of our Can- adian and American boys. Any negotiation which involves recogni- tloll of Red China is tragedy." "Should the West and Russia meet in conflict. Yugoslavia under Tito will most certainly not he on our slde...TIto is the worst in- surance risk the West can take." To show how well, even though unwittingly, some newspapers often follow the line laid down by the Communist "Dally Worker." Mr, Budenz referred to the issue of so-called "McCarthyism." Tak- ing up this term. which was first used by Owen Lattimore when he appeared before the Tydlngs Com- mittee. lhe "Daily Worker" singled out Senator Joseph Mrcartliy of Wisconsin as its target of abuse. Gvca pliaslzing Mccari hy's faults in diplomacy, the Commun- ists heaped upon him sufficient abuse to deter others from giving valuableservloe to similar commit- tees. By this propaganda process the minds of the most innocent are being even more effectively drug- ged by propaganda than are lhe minds of other Innocents who are being prepared for trial before av Communist tribunal. I Pointing out the responsibilities of the, average citizen la the battle against communism. r. Budenz suggested a six-point program: I. agreed items. One of the main provision: of. the draft treaty that already hax been agreed upon provides ihail the four occupying powers pull; their irnops out of the country within 90 liars after the frenly has been ratified. We must know the nature of the foe: 2. we must learn something of his insidious mode of operation; 3 we must become falnilnr with good sources of anti-Communist in- formation: 1.
