Peaceful coexistence
—the way to banish war

The capitalist press repeatedly tries to misrepresent
_ the meaning of peaceful coexistence. Here, in this ar-
ticle from Pravda, a leading Communist in the Soviet ©
Union outlines the significance of the fight for peace
today—and why to coexist is th

not and must .not be _the
means of solving ideological
disputes between the two
systems. : ae

“The essence of the con-
temporary - strategic situation

ialist might that for imperial-
ism to develop a new: world
war would be equivalent -to
its suicide.

“In the econoreic field: The
existence of common and uni-
versal economic relations re-
garding which V. I. Lenin
wrote that they are ‘stronger
force than the desire, will or
decisions of hostile stages.or
classes.’

“In our time, in connection
with the sharp reduction of
the capitalist world’s territor-
ial limits and the steady
growth of the relative weight
of the socialist states in the
world economy and world
trade, life itself pushes the
capitalist states toward nor-
malization and expansion of
economic relations with the
Soviet Union and the world
socialist system.”

To achieve co-operation for
maintenance of world peace,
Inozemisev urges an immed-
iate struggle “for liquidating
the basic sources of the dan-
ger of war, for solving the
‘chief international problems.”

The Pravda writer cites
among these: =~
© Total and general dis-
armament under strict inter-
national control; :

© A German peace treaty,
including solution of the West
Berlin question;

e An end to colonial op-
pression in whatever form it
appears; $

© Entry of People’s Chin
into the United Nations, and
“vital improvement in the.
mechanism of the United Na-
tions.”

tions. among: all. peoples.
“Because * of -the rapid in-
crease. in the: nazi-dominated
West German militarization,
Inozemtsev underscores — the
urgency. of:an immediate sol-
cution of the: German and
‘West Berlin problems. —
The Pravda article makes
clear’ once: again» what the
Soviet Union:means by ‘peace-
ful. coexistence. —= continua-
tion of the ‘sharpest class
struggle between socialism
and capitalism,” but at the
same time “‘cooperation of the
governments of the two op-
posing systems for the pur-
pose of maintaining peace.”

COMPETITION

The intent of this, appar-
ently, is to offer a peaceful
economic competition of the
two systems. If capitalism
really believes its system is
best, it should not be afraid
to compete peacefully with
the socialist system, is the es-
sence of the Soviet challenge.

Inozemtsev asserts the
Soviet confidence that the
socialist system will win in
any such peaceful competi-
tion.

In recent months, observ-
-ers of the Washington scene
have seen a tendency by some
members: of President Ken-
hedy’s administration to hunt
‘for. weaknesses in the inter-
-national- position of the Sov-
iet Union to make it possible
for the leadership of the cap-
italist world: to-dictate terms
-of.a settlement of world ten-
sions.

Every time, in the recent
past, that the Soviet govern-
ment. has expressed a sincere

on the maintenance of peace,
it has been wishfully inter-
rupted in Washington as a

sign of weaknegs.

Inozemtsev stresses the

ca has become a ‘“‘people’s
capitalism,” with ownership
of the nation’s corporation
widely spread among the
rhal
mass of the people?

This idea has been widely
touted by Wall Street, by
some politicians and by many
newspapers. But a new fac-
tual survey, made public re-
cently, shows the ‘‘people’s
capitalism’”’ notion is a phon-
ey.

The new survey was con-
ducted last winter by the|
University of Michigan Sur-
‘vey. Research Centre, a res-
pected polling group. They
asked an unusually large na-
tional sampling of represen-

- -owhership of ‘corporate stock.’

People’s capitalism?

cE it really true that Ameri- _

The number of families
who own a little bit of stock
has increased substantially
since earlier surveys in 1952
and 1955. But even now only
‘14 per cent of America’s fam-
ilies own any stock at all.

More significant, 64 per
cent of all corporate common
stock is Owned by families
making $10,000 or more a

ers amounts to just six per
