New Communist League Ties Up United Nations
Lake Success, N.Y.—(UP)—The elaborate United Nations, born only two years ago amidst so much hope, sat helpless and dejected today in the middle of a declared no quarter political war between its two giants—the United States and Soviet Russia.
The "war" actually had been underway for many months. But all pretence had been tossed aside now. The "phony" stage was over.
The lines were clearly drawn ex-
cuse that both sides claimed Italy and
these two unhappy
countries were the immediate stakes
in the conflict.
Aim To Stop Democracy
In Paris, the Communists were believed today only to have made it tougher for themselves in France and Italy by setting up their nomenation "information bureau" to torpedo the Marshall and Truman plans and stop western democracy in Europe.
The Communist parties of France and Italy were the only ones outside of the iron curtain to be let in on the scheme meaning that the governments of France and Italy would be the first targets of the "information bureau."
Ruin Chances In Coalition
At the same time, it became clear that the Communists had ruined their chances of getting back into the French and Italian governments as members of a coalition. Getting control of key cabinet posts has been a favorite Communist method of capturing governments legally.
Two immediate results of the Soviet move will be a decision by Secretary of State George C. Marshall to present his European economic recovery plan to congress on political as well as economic grounds; and the inevitable failure of the Big Four to agree on peace treaties for Germany and Austria in London next month with the probable collapse of the Big Four machinery.
But U. N. delegates, alarmed and dismayed at the hopeless outlook for an east-west reconciliation after the new Communist international mani- nism, against American "imperialism," the United Nations itself will be the United Nations itself.
After 24 hours to study the pledge of Communist parties in nine European countries to wage all-out war against the "Truman doctrine" and the "Marshall plan," U. N. delegation reactions ranged the way from U.S. help to the Marshall plan in the U.S. congress, to Slavic claimers that the new organization is a revival of the revolutionary comintern.
Vishinsky Lashes Johnson
Soviet Delegate Andrie Y. Vishinsky gave the U. N. a taste of the new offensive late yesterday at the
end of a two hour speech. Speaking directly to U. S. delegate Herschel V. Johnson's compromise offer to drop the charges of "aggressor" against Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and Albania if they would accept and cooperate with a U. N. Balkan commission, Vishinsky let go with all the vitriol in his vocabulary.
He said the U. S. offer "proved" that its charges against Greece's northern neighbors were "phoney". He recalled that for months the U. S. has led a "violent" campaign against the three countries.
Cat And Mouse Game
"Let us put an end to this game of cat and mice, called the Greek question," he shouted.
"Mr. Johnson proposed a horse-trade. The U. S. will give up its serious charges if we will accept a commission. It's a proposed deal: put your money on the barrel head and everything will be all right.
"Now the whole world knows the U. S. accusations were not worth a hoot!"
He rejected the compromise in toto and insisted that the only solution in Greece was withdrawal of all foreign troops and "so-called" experts.
Daily Worker OK's League
Meanwhile the Daily Worker, official newspaper of the Communist party in the United States, applauded the establishment of a Communist information bureau saying it was "anti-Wall Street, not anti-U. S."
The Worker said that calling the information bureau a revival of the comintern was propaganda against the European Communist parties to defend the interests of their countries."
The phrase, "hermetically soaked," comes from the use of the "seal of Hermes," the pagan god, which alchemists placed on their vessels.
