Spain'sForeignMinisterHails

U.S.AllianceAsSolidRampart

NewYork.-Spain'sForeignMinisterdeclaredherethathisnation'sprincipalinteresttodayisadefenceagainstCommunism -"thatNumberOneenemyofthefree worldwhichtheSpanishpeopleknewbefore, andknowbetterthanalltheEuropean peoples."

Dr.AlbertoMartinArtajo (SpanishForeignMinister) denouncedCommunismduringaspecial"Tributeto Spain"convocationatFordhamUniversity.

SpeakinginSpanish,Dr. MartinArtajohailedthe Spanish-Americanmilitary allianceas"oneofthemost solidrampartsofcontinentalfreedom."

Hesaidthebilateralpact was"theoriginalidea"of GeneralissimoFrancoand itssuccesscanbeseenby thefactthat"theSoviet Unionhasbeencompelled to hertacticsfor heresentcoldwar."

Recountinghisnation's historicoppositiontoCommunism,Dr.MartinArtajo saidthatin1946,Spain was"sacrificedtothePolicyofappeasementofSoviet Russiaandbecauseofthe hateofinternationalCommunismwhichhadclearly beendefeatedonthebattlefieldsofourCivilWar."

"Allofthehistoricwill oftheSpanishpeople,.the spiritofnationalindependence,theSpartandecisions ofGeneralFranco,and aboveall,thehelpofGod, wereneededforSpainto resistvictoriouslythatoverwhelmedaggressiondirect byinternationalCommunism,"theForeignMinister declared.

SpainFillsVoid

Alludingtocriticismof theFrancogovernment,Dr. MartinArtajosaidthatthe Spanishpeopleloveliberty "aboveallelse."

"Weadministerourvictoryandguideourpolicies toconformtoChristian, nationalandsocialideals thatarefruitofourown secularcultureandofour recenthistoricexperience," hesaid.

"IfSpainwasableto outlineherowncivilwar andtheworldconflictby whichshewassurrounded, itwasnotdonetogiveup hersovereignrighttofollowintheorbitofthisor thatinternationalpower.

"Thewell-beingofthe Spanishpeoplewastheonly considerationofourgovernmentduringtheWorld War.Itisstillsointhe present,especiallysinceit coincideswiththeinterests ofalltheoccidentalpeople.

TothemSpainfeelsherself unitedbythesamecivilisationandthesameideal offreedom."

Eearlier,inWashington, Dr.MartinArtajosaidthat therecentadmittancetothe UnitedNationsoftheCatholiccountriesofIreland, ItalyandSpain"fillsa greatvoid."

"Fewnationsareasqual-

ifiedtocollaboratetoward internationalpeaceandharmony,"hetoldtheN.C.W.C.NewsServiceinan interviewduringhisfourdayvisittothenation's capital.

Spain,headded,entersthe U.N.inaspiritofuniversal andunderstanding,harmony peace.Toachievethese ends,hesaid,itwillrely uponthecollaboration.-f nationswhichhaveSpanishoriginsandlikeSpain, areendowedwithCatholic principles.

ThejournalVoprosyEkonamikyspokeofthe"cultof theindividual,whichisalienandhostiletoMarxism." Similarly,Kommunist,theparty'sorganofdoctrine,condemned"ideologicaldeviations expressedinaslipping downintotheidealistictheoryofthecultofpersonality." Thenewemphasisoncollectiveleadershipwasaccompaniedbyacorrespondingde-emphasisofStalin'sname.

TopleasetheSocialistsabroadandrallythoseleftwingelementsinthefreeworldwhoareopposednotso muchtoMarxismastoStalinism,thecollectiveleaders arepreparedtoexcommunicateStalinfromtheCommunist faith.Khrushchev'srevealingFebruary24speechbefore aclosedsessionofthecongress,inwhichhebrutally"desanctified"Stalin,becameknownonlythreeweekslater. TheaddressshowsthattheKremlinleadershipiswilling togoevenfurtherthanwasatfirstsupposedonthebasis oftheearlierreports.

Thereisnodoubtthatleft-winganti-Stalinistswill heartilywelcomesuchachangeinpartyline.ImmediatelyafterStalin'sdeath,withoutawaitingaformalcondemnationofStalin'spracticesbythecollectiveleaders, spokesmenoftheseSocialistelementsthissideoftheIron Curtainlaunchedacampaigntendingtoprovethat Stalin'sMarxismwasamisunderstanding,hadnothing todowithMarxismatall.Infact,theyheld,Stalin hadbetrayedtherevolutionandestablishedadictatorship intheoldCzaristtradition.

TomakeStalin'streasonsoundplausible,arumourof hisinsanitywaspromoted.Frenchjournalistsandtheir Russianemigrecolleagues,aswellasanumberofAmericanscholars,pickedupthesuggestion.Theironyofthe situationconsistedinthefactthatbyaccusingStalinof insanity,or"pathologicalmentality,"anti-Communists implicitlyadmittedthatthedictatorwasnotresponsible forhisactsandhisactions.

AnewgodbroodsovertheKremlin

Asearlyasthesummerof1955,theworldknew thatthe20thcongressoftheCommunistparty wouldmeetinMoscow,inFebruarythisyear. Westernobserversdidnotattachgreatsignificance totheevent.

Fouryearsago,theyeagerlyawaitedthe19thcongress, inthehopeofdetectingpossiblecluestoStalin'ssuccession.

Theygenerallyagreedthatthecurrentcongresswould beofgreaterimportancetotheCommuniststhemselves, whoweretryingtoprovetotheworldandtothemselves thatdespiteStalin'sdeath,Beria'sexecutionandMalenkov'sresignation,theCommunistpartyhaspreservedits monolithicunityandisinfullcontrolofthesituation.

Astheproceedingsunrolled,however,andoneCommunistleaderaftertheothergotupandrenouncedStalin andhispolicies,theWestbegantolendamoveattentive eartothenewvoicefromtheKremlin.

Finally,everyoneconcededthatthe20thpartycongress markedthebeginningofaneweraintheSovietUnion. Ithasproducedmorefundamentalchangesintheofficial versionofpartyhistory,aswellasinMarxistdoctrine, thanweremadeduringtheentireStalinera.

Intheirreportsthespeakersveryclearlyoutlinedthe partylinestobefollowed.Theydidsowithanunexpectedfranknessandvehemence,buthastherereallybeena radicaldeparturefrompreviouspolicies,orevenanew revisionofMarxistideology?Wemaydoubtit.

The"collectiveleaders"havecertainlyrepudiatedStalinismwithmostofitsimplications;butthetruthisthat thecurrentpartylines,announcedattheCongress,only confirmedthetrendsobservableforanumberofmonths. NowtheCommunistleadersaremuchmoreoutspoken, evenemotional,andpreparedtopursuethesetrendsto theirlogicalconsequences.

NikitaS.Khrushchevandhiscomradeshavesettwo linesforthefieldofinternationalrelationsandathird linefordomesticconsumption. Intheinternational sphere,theyassuretheworldthataCommunistrevolution canbeachievedwithoutbloodshed.MostWesternobservershaveinterpretedthisasamodificationofMarxist theory.

Now,itistruethatKhrushchevhimselfexplainedthat 'Lenin'spremiseofinevitablewaraslongasimperialism survivedwasvalidforthattime,butisnolongertruetoday."ItisequallytruethatStalinstatedin1952:"In ordertoeliminatetheinevitabilityofwars,imperialism mustbedestroyed."

ButwemustnotforgetthatKhrushchevandhisassociateshavenotgivenuptheirbeliefintheinevitabilityof theCommunistrevolution;consequentlytheirstresson "peacefulcoexistence"withthecapitalistworldmustbe regardedasmerelyatemporarydevice.

Onlyinthetacticsusedtoachievetheworld-wideCommunistrevolutionisthereachangeinemphasis,aturning fromviolencetomorepeacefulmeans.

Buteventhisisnotbasicallynew.Ontheonehand, Marxismalwaysheldthatbourgeoissocietywilldisintegratebecauseofitsinnercontradictions,evenwithout theinterventionoftheparty.Aviolentrevolutionwould onlyspeedupthisprocess.

Ontheotherhand,Lenintaughtthatiftheinterests oftheCommunistssorequire-inotherwords,ifviolence doesnotseemlikelytosucceed-theymayenterintoa tempryalliancewiththefoesofcommunism,the Socias,andwiththeirhelpinfiltratethegovernmental machineryofthebourgeoisieandthusgraduallyparalyse it.Thismethodmaybeaseffectiveasaviolentrevolution,thoughitislessspectacular.

Soviethistoryknowsseveralsuchperiodsof"temporary retreats."Itispreciselysucha"popularfront"ofall the"anti-bourgeois"elementsthattheCommunistleaders nowadvanceastheirsecondlineinforeignaffairs,while warningtheWestthattheonlyalternativetosucha versionof"peacefulcoexistence"isawarofdevastation; inotherwords,areturntoviolentmeans.

WhatMakesSaint JosephSoGrand!

ButthiswaspreciselywhattheMarxistswanted.They carriedtheargumentastepfurtherandarguedthatsince Stalinwasatraitororamadman,hissuccessorswill graduallyleadRussiabacktothe"truedemocraticprintciples"inherentincommunism.Therestofushavejust togivethenewrulersoftheUSSRachance.

ForemostamongtheexponentsofthisthesiswasIsaac DeutscherinRussia,WhatNext(OxfordUniversityPress, 1953).Americawasvirtuallytheonlypublicationto drawitsreaders'attentiontothefallacyofsuchapremise

ThecollectiverulersoftheSovietUnionhavenowmade thisinterpretationofStalin'sMarxismtheirown.The truthremains,however,thatonmostfundamentalissues, Lenin'smethodsandpoliciesdidnotdifferfromStalin's. NothingismoremisleadingthantoacceptDeutscher's viewsabout"thehumaneSocialistspiritoftheearlydays oftheSovietState,"ortobelievethatthepresentrulers aremotivatedbyasimilar"humaneSocialist"spirit.

KhrushchevorderedarevisionofSoviethistory.He didnottellSovietscholarsandhistorians:'Searchfor thetruthandpresentthefactssuchasyoufindthem." Hetoldthemhowtore-interprethistory,whowastobe rehabilitatedandwhowastobeportrayedasatraitor. Hewarnedhisaudiencethatitwasa"harmfulmistake"tothinkthattheprincipleofcoexistencecouldbe extendedtothesphereofideology.Onthecontrary,he calledforanunremittingstruggleagainstbourgeois ideology,includingthe"survivalofcapitalisminthe mindsofSovietmen."

Asamatteroffact,Khrushchevandhisassociates oughttobethefirsttobepurged.Thenewlineisa condemnationoftheirpastconduct.Notonlywerethey Stalin'screaturesaswellashisclosestassociates,but onlyafewyearsagetheywerethefirsttocheerStalin enthusiasticallyasthegreatestmaninhistory.

LazarM.Kaganovichhadforeshadowedthenewparty lineasearlyasNovember,1955,duringthecelebrationof theanniversaryoftheBolshevikRevolution;Khrushchev nowinvitesthepartytocarryitoutinpractice.This meansthatforthedurationofthenewpolicytherewill belesstalkabout"capitalistencirclement,"andmore emphasison"parliamentarymeansofstruggle."

TherearegoodreasonswhytheCommunistleaders prefertoavoidanopenconflictatthemoment.There isnothingintheideologicalarsenalofMarxismtoprevent themfrommakingachangeintactics.Stalinhimself explainedin1923that"thestrategyofthepartyisnot somethingpermanent,fixedonceandforall.Itchanges tomeethistoricalshifts,historicalturns Every historicalturnhasitsstrategicplanwhichcorrespondsto itsrequirementsandisadaptedtoitstasks."

ThiswasgoodLeninism.InLeft-WingCommunism,an.
