Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - October 20, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news these Days by George e. Sokolsky the growth of Empire vice president Nixon once wrote significant thing about the communist Empire and its growth is that this Empire did not expand by traditional methods of overt military aggression but by revolution in the soviet Union civil War and revolution in China a coup d eat in Czechoslovakia. It is True that military Power in Many instances was an essential ingredient for the expansion of the communist Empire through nonmilitary Means. But it is also True that the communists did not re-1 sort successfully to overt military. Aggression the traditional Way in which empires in the past have been built a a it is so important in any attempt to understand the age in which we live to realize that the soviet Universal state never employs orthodox Means to accomplish usual purposes. That is what confuses so Many. For instance there Are those in banking and Industry who say a Why not Deal freely with soviet Russia Why not Deal with red China theres Money in that a unfortunately Trade with either country involves political considerations. The British had a theory when they quickly recognized red China that their enormous Trade in China would be restored to i them it has not been restored. I although they have earned some profits in Hong Kong they have had a very Tough time of it in Shanghai Hankow and any Interior City. Most of their business in. Such places has been taken from them. The great advantage of Early recognition of the red chinese government has not been demonstrated. India has discovered How perilous Friendship with red China is and most indians Are frightened by the consequence of their country having acted almost As an agent for red China in the United nations through Krishna Menon. The fact of the matter is that while Menon has been speaking for soviet Russia in the United nations the communists established a base in India in Kerala a province containing a High percentage of unemployed intellectuals. Prom this base they Are Imp riling the Congress party and the position of Nehru. This is not an unusual communist tactic and is often overlooked or even denied by non communists j who Hill to grasp that the ethics. Morals etiquette of the two sys i terns of life Are different and con. Trad Victory what seems terribly wrong to us is apparently right j to them. The businessman often believes that raising the Standard of living i of a people will drive off the communist menace Clarence b. Rand i All once put it this Way a. Standards of living Are frightful in some of these underdeveloped countries As Low As one Hundred dollars per year per capita. If a country has Only one Hundred dollars per capita double that and Vou have to terrific change in the buying Power the generations thai Are to follow our grandchildren will Nvvf hold us blameless if we permit these vast resources and these vast markets to come under the soviet there is truth in his statement j of the appalling Standard of living i in Many of these countries but that does not explain Why in every country the communist party does not emerge from the masses but from the Middle class and the intellectuals. In not one single instance did a communist Success develop out of a labor Union move-1 Merit. Thus us not a proletarian movement although Karl Marx said it would be but then he himself. Was strictly Middle class his associate Engels was a Rich manufacturer and his wife was of the German aristocracy. A High Standard of living does not save the world from anything not even the excesses of a High Standard of living. More and More errors Are going to be made in our judgments about the soviet Universal state As our Bankers and industrialist grow More desperate for new markets. They see great areas on the map which remain closed to them and they want them opened up but they will not by opened up. Of Mao Tze Tung were elected president of the Security Council of the i United nations those areas would not be realistically opened to foreign Trade and foreigners be cause that is not the purpose of this revolution and they do rot need what we say we can ofter them. What they do need they can now obtain within the soviet Universal state which is an economic As Well As a political unit based upon marxist concept of vol. 80, no. 247 it.
