The division of ministerial re- sponsibilities among the four parties of National’ Front (Ba’ath, Arab Socialist Union, Arab Socialist Movement, ‘and Communist parties) remains the same as in the preceding cabi- net. : There are two Communist ministers: Omar Sibai (Commu- nications) and Zahir Abdel Sa- mad, member of the Party’s po- litical bureau, who replaces Youssef Faisel, also a member of the political bureau, as min- ister of State. DELHI (TASS) — Chinese Mandarinism is the title of a book published here by the pro- minent Indian public and _poli- tical leader, deputy of the Legis- lative Assembly of Uttar Pra- desh, Dharamvir Singh Tyagi, analyzing the Peking leader- ship’s policy in respect to deve- loping countries. The author says that the real aim of the Maoist leadership is to freeze the process of deve- lopment of the revolutionary movement in young independent states and to isolate them from the Soviet Union and other so- cialist countries. Posing as a protector of the interests of de- veloping countries, Peking in reality sets itself absolutely dif- ferent tasks, using aS a cover demagogical slogans that have nothing in common with prob- lems of the revolutionary move- ment in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Great-power chauvinism and hegemonistic ambitions — such are the most characteristic features of the present-day for- Greek Junta prisoner's life is in danger The life of Greek political prisoner Nicos Kaloudis is in danger, say his friends in Bri- tain, appealing for pressure on the junta to secure his release. Mr. Kaloudis was sentenced to life imprisonment by a spe- cial court martial in Athens in 1970. He suffered a serious heart attack on December 17 and is very ill in Korydallos Prison, Piraeus. A member of the political bu- reau of the Communist Party of Greece since 1961, Mr. Kalou- dis is 55. During the war years he was active as a trade union- ist among seamen and later be- came secretary of the Federa- tion of Greek Maritime Unions in the U.S. He has been in poor health during his years in prison and became weaker following an earlier heart attack a year ago. His comrades in Korydallos prison say his survival depends on his being released now for proper medical treatment which is impossible under prison con- ditions. Greek law provides for tem- porary release of any prisoner whose health is endangered by continued imprisonment Mr. Kaloudis should be allowed to benefit under this law, they say. eign policy course of China, the author writes. Implacable Struggle The definition of the main content of the present epoch, suggested by the Peking: lead- ers, absolutely lacks ‘the main point, Tyagi writes — that an implacable ideological struggle is going on now between im- perialism and socialism. The Peking leadership, how- ever, is ever further sliding into the quagmire of opportunism, setting forth the slogan about the need to struggle against the two super-powers, that is the Soviet Union and the United States. This parallelism is di- rected first of all against the world socialist system headed by the USSR which is a reliable ally of third world countries. Imperialism is the main source of danger for developing states and to equate the Soviet Union with the United States means-to give imperialism a trump card in the struggle against social- ism and the national liberation movements. The genuine meaning of the Maoist policy manifested itself with particular clarity during the events in Bangladesh, the author points out. Peking’s assurances of solidarity with and support to all national liberation move- ments were shattered by.its un- disguised support with arms and money for West Pakistan’s military junta that conducted barbaric repressions against the national liberation movement of the 75,000,000 population of Bangladesh. And this aid was given at a time when it was so badly needed by the heroic Viet- namese people. Great Possibilities Peking’s policy in respect of Vietnam, Tyagi notes, is based on the intention to avoid by all means any risk of invoking American displeasure. For that reason the Maoists refused to BOOK REVIEW J Maoist policies attempt to isolate Soviet Union cooperate with the USSR in cre- ating a united front in support of the DRV. Touching on China’s ter- ritorial claims on its neighbors, including India and the Soviet Union, the author stresses that Peking uses them to divert the attention of broad segments of China’s population from the genuine causes of the country’s difficulties. Not a single sensible person, Tyagi writes in conclusion, can doubt that the PRC is a major power with great possibilities for influencing the course of in- ternational development. As a result of the revolution’s victory in 1949, China turned into an important factor of anti- imperialist struggle and gained much international prestige at the initial period of its exist- ence, but instead of continuing the course of cooperation with socialist countries, which are the only force capable of ensur- ing China a status according with its objective position in the world, the Chinese leaders embarked on the road of ad- venturism early in the 1960 and this brought their country into the camp opposing the main revolutionary forces of the mod- ern world. This course resulted in the PRC’s isolation from the social- ist community and the national liberation movements, in a growth of its dependence on the United States and other west- ern powers, the author con- cludes.

Two opposite ideologies AT THE TURNING POINTS OF HISTORY, Some Lessons on the Struggle Against Revision- ism within the Marxist-Leninist Movement, a book by S. Trapez- nikov. Today mankind has en- tered the decisive phase of the struggle between two opposite ideologies. Developments on the world political arena have posed, more sharply than ever, the basic question: which system will gain the upper hand? While the Soviet Union is achieving tremendous successes in all spheres of material and cultural life, and is an accelerat- ing-source of inspiration to other nitions, the ideologists of anti- Communism are trying ever harder to distort Marxist-Lenin- ist theory, the guide to revolu- tionary practice. This book exposes the twaddle- of anti-Communism and revision- ism, both the Left and the Right.

The developing revolutionary struggle in Peru is further evidence of the growing number of breakthroughs in a continent seething with discontent. Spurred by the example of Cuba as the catalyst, and the victory of the Popular Unity in Chile, the people of Peru, of Panama, Ecuador and elsewhere are taking the road of revolutionary change, each according to its own specific conditions and degree of social, economic and political maturity.
