Wells’ dreams

_By RALPH PARKER

Speaking at the 1917 Revolution anniversary celebrations

MOSCOW

here, Soviet first Deputy Premier Kaganovich said that not even H. G. Wells in his fantasies of the future could have imagined what the USSR would grow into.

“It may be said without exaggeration that world history

knows no greater event for the future of mankind than the 1917 Revolution,” he said. Premier Nicolai Bulganin, Soviet Com- munist party secretary Nikita Khrushchev, and other Soviet leaders were present at the rally in the Bolshoi Theatre on the : ‘ eve of the 38th anniversary of the Revolution. Since 1950 real wages of the Soviet workers had risen by near- ly one-half and were almost double prewar, Kaganovich : said. Warm applause greeted his an- nouncement that in view of the unsatisfactory. nature of housing a decision had been taken to con- centrate on housing in the im-

pending five-year plan, the sixth.

Kaganovich spoke from a ros-. ‘trum in the brilliantly lit theatre in front of a portrait medallion | of Lenin and Stalin, banked by red and white flowers.

Kaganovich stressed the impor- tance of improving production techniques and the organization” of labor if the Soviet Union was

not to lag behind the capitalist world.

There existed shortcomings. in industry, mainly the failure to make full use of modern tech- nology, unsatisfactory organiza- tion of labor, bad and limited use. of new techniques worked out at the bench, and insufficient pro- ductivity.

But, drawing a comparison between capitalist and Social- ist economies, Kaganovich said: “We have no doubt whatever of the result of competition be- tween the two systems.— a victory of the socialist system.”

Turning to foreign affairs, Kaganovich said that 1955 had shown that differences could be solved by talks.

He listed the reconciliation with Yugoslavia, the treaty with Aus- tria, the agreements with India and Burma, with the East Ger- man Republic and with Western Germany, and the evacuation of the Soviet base in Finland, and of Port Arthur, describing them ‘as “real actions for peace in the world.”

The Soviet Union was doing everything possible to help the

’ cause of peace in the world and she was doing it not from weak- ness, but fully conscious of her |

Commenting on world disarm- ament, he said the Soviet Union

stood for control of disarmament

in contrast to the United States, which wanted fo control arma- ment. 2 Nobody in the ‘world wanted war, Kaganovich said. The grow- ing opposition of the peoples to aggression had led to a relaxa- tion of international tension. Now even the leaders of the. bour- geoisie had realized how strong was the -people’s desire for peace. While, until some time ago, one could not credit them with

any serious steps aimed at re-)

lieving world tension, the Gen- eva Conference of Heads of Gov- ernment last July and its results could now be jointly attributed to the efforts of the four govern-,

ments. : ¥ But although the Geneva Con- ference was important and had

brought about a relaxation in:

world tension, it was not yet be-

yond the resources of the enemies :

of peace to start a new war.

If the 19th century was the age of capitalism, the 20th century was the age of socialism and com- munism, Kaganovich said.

But any attempt to foster rev- olution—that ‘“inexportable and highly national phenomenon’— by force of arms would be tanta- mount to imperialism itself.

The Soviet government did not meddle in the internal affairs of other countries. As Lenin said, “Those who think that revolu- tions can be created at will in any state are either lunatics or provocateurs.”

slovakia A. Johnson and Chinese to Poland Wang

Ambassador Ping-nan. They represent the most important move yet made to establish normal relations be- tween the two countries. .

From the time the ambassa- dorial talks started on August 1, the U.S. has been demanding a unilateral declaration by China renouncing the use of force be-

jfore it would discuss improve-

ment of relations between the two countries or measures to re- duce international tension in' the Far East.

The Chinese proposal calls for a draft declaration to be signed by China and the U.S. regulating Sino-American re- lations on the basis of para- graphs three and four of Article Two of the United Nations Charter. : ;

(Paragraph three reads: “All members shall ‘settle their inter- national disputes by ~ peaceful means in such manner that in- ternational peace, security and justice are not endangered. (Paragraph four reads: ‘All members shall refrain in their

| international relations from threat or use of force against the terri-,

torial integrity or political inde- pendence of any state.’’) “oe People’s China is further pro- posing that a high-level confer- ence between the U.S. and China be held at the earliest possible moment to bring about an eas- ing of tension in the Formosa area. The USS. is insisting that Formosa be named specifically in any declaration renouncing the use of force. ‘ Wang Ping-nan, who has been pressing for more frequent meet- ings to hasten agreement, has in- formed Johnson that China con- siders Formosa a question for high-level discussion but is pre- pared to include it in the scopé of the present discussions if Johnson has full power to pro- ceed. ees China, he points out, has al- ready declared its desire to settle the issue of Formosa by peaceful means and has suggested talks between the Chinese People’s government and Chiang Kai- sShek’s Formosa regime. -

Arabs, U.S.

clash on

self-determination

Saudi Arabia has clashed with

UNITED NATIONS, N-Y. the United States in the United

Nations over the right of Saudi Arabia to nationalise its own—now

U. S.-owned—oil resources.

The clash came in the UN Social, Humanitarian and Cultural Committee which is discussing a draft definition of the right of nations to self-determination.

The draft at present states that part of self-determination is the right ‘of sovereignty over natural wealth and resources. If agreed to this would give under-develop- ed countries the right to national- ise their resources. oe

The clause is. being bitterly fought by the U. S. Chamber of Commercé, which has demanded

‘| “aggressive” U.S. action to op-

pose this clause.

The Saudi Arabian delegate to the committee, Jamil M. Baroody, accused the U.S. delegate, who proposed the deletion of this clause, of speaking only for U.S. big business interests.

Stressing the need for under- developed countries to have un- mistakable and full sovereignty over their resources, he pointed out that such a view was. held even by’ some organizations in the U.S.

However, he said, the U.S. delegate chose not to mention these organisations but only to speak for business groups.

Brazilian army stages” coup to thwart coup

RIO DE JANEIRO |

Army officers staged a coup in Brazil last week, claiming

‘that it was intended to thwart a similar action planne

navy and air force groups to prevent Juscelino Kub trom assuming the presidency in January.

Humors of a coup have been rife ever since Kubitschek, a Social Democrat, won the presi- dency in last month’s elections with the support. of the semi- illegal Communist party.

Two months ago, General Hen- rique Teizeira Lott, who led last week’s army coup, threatened that if Kubitschek’s running mate, Goulert, was president the army would inter- vene. Now Lott claims that the army acted only to allow the elected government to take office.

elected vice-

Lott resigned as war minister on Thursday last week because,

he said, Carlos Coimbra da Luz, ,

temporary president, had failed to back his demand for discip-

linary action against an army | -

colonel who had made an anti- Kubitschek speech.

In the early Hons of Friday morning, Lott led the coup which forced da Luz from the office to which as president of the House of Deputies, he had succeeded only three days before when President Joao Cafe Filho took an indefinite leave of absence to recover from a heart attack.

Da Luz and several of his minis- ters took refuge on ‘the cruiser Tamandare but a few hours later Da Luz ordered the vessel to re- turn to Rio de Janeiro harbor, declaring it was his last official act as president.

A joint session of both Houses of Congress declared da Luz “no longer eligible to be president” and chose Nereu. Ramos, leader of the Senate, to succeed him.
