West May Gain from Split
(Continued from page 1)
"Today, the two nations are looking at the fifty-five volumes published by Lenin, and trying to pick out how each one differs from the objectives and theories set forth.
"It is a question of which argument best fits the present quarrel," Mehnert said. "As for the duration of the quarrel, it is improbable that they will be making up in the near future. Russia, who has been the leader of the Communist movement for this long, cannot back down or let its leadership slip."
The split offers an advantage to the West because it has to face the "full united monolithic power" of both the U.S.S.R. and Red China, Mehntar said.
"ACTUALLY, Khrushchev is probably more worried when he looks to the East than when he looks to the West," Mehntt said.
"Neither Mao Tse Tung or Khrushchev have given up their idea of world revolution. This is what they dream about. Khrushchev feels that the movement is going about as fast as it can, but the Chinese feel that it should be speeded up," Mehnert said.
Both Mao Tse Tung and Khrushchev deviated from the Lenin doctrine in many ways, he said. Mao feels that the revolution will now come from the discontented masses, and Khrushchev has abandoned Lenin by realizing that the atomic age has changed the situation as it was expressed in the time of Lenin and Marx.
Khrushchev claims that the focus of the revolution is not in the West, but rather in the underdeveloped nations of the world.
"The Chinese are presently at the Leninist stage of Communism."

Mehnert said. "They fail to recognize the neutralist nation. Like Lenin they may break away and form their own international party, but this remains to be seen."

However, the Kennedy name has political power and President Johnson may want to keep the Kennedy political machine, now headed by the Attorney General, in his camp. In addition, Kennedy may decide to use the vice-presidential post as a possible springboard to the presidency in the future. Logan said.
