Bl! WES GALLAGHER Associated Press News Analyst (For J. M. Roberis, Jr.) Wihal. are the cilalices oi ending me cold war with Russia? To begin We must go back to the end of the war.

There were C0llllllui1l5i5 in the governments of FRIDGE allJ iiaiy. The Conlmunisl Part5 C'-'L'i‘)".‘»llt’i‘8 exerted a strong influence. With a few international cum- promises and some indication o! goodwill the Soviet Union and its Communist doctrines could have infiltrated all of Western Europe. The Communists would have been so deeply entrenched, it ls fair to say Europe would have fallen completely into the Soviet sphere of influence. This goodwill was squandered when the Soviet Union embarked on a policy of "all or nothing.’ Soviet diplomats refused to com- promise on the most trivial mat- ters. When Soviet demands were not met. the Kremlin tried io rule by force‘ through Communist parties. Each Soviet rebut‘! revived West-l crn Europe's fears, fanned iis hatreds, and welded opposing for- ces together against Communism. Where Soviet demands could be enforced with the Red Army, all IIIflIIGHCC of the West was rutii- icssly exterminaied. i Each time the Soviet Ulilon fail- ed to get its way. opponents were heaped with vituperation. slander; and threats. i Soviet actions could not have been better designed to defeat their own aims and solidify the west against them. Why was this policy embarked upon? The rulers of Russia. the Polit-' buro, have two points in common.‘ They are revolutionaries who cFimbed to power through strict adherence to the Communist Par-i ty line wnd annihilation of any dissenters. The Community Party line teaches that capitalism is doomed» It is reasonable to suppose the; Politburo believes this. Therefore why should they compromise with a capitalism which they view as decadent? Why not take all and give nothing? The second point ls that with the exception of Foreign Minister Molotov, none has had any ex- tended relations with the West. They do not know from experience how the West feels, how strong its manufacturing strength lshow deep-rowed its belief ln freedcan. The Soviet Union will change its "nll-or-nothing" policy only when the Politburo is convinced that the West and Western Eur- ope are too strong and too united to be overthrown eiihcr by force or threats of force. Further. that these Western forces are strong enough to threaten the Soviet Union's own security. There is no indication, either in the Soviet press or Soviet ac- tions, that this point has been reached. The policy of public vi:- uperntlon on Soviet opponents continues unabated. The Soviet blockade of Berlin is tightened. Communist guerrilla activity in Greece is intensified. Top Americans here dealing with the Russians think it will come in another two years when Western Europe is welded into u: alliance and has enough strength to support itself with a minimum of American help.
