Forecast Cloudy and Milder Kremlin building anti imperialist army of revolution this is the second of two articles on the purpose of recent ind current communist purges of soviet satellite states in Eastern Europe by Marguerite Higgins new York Herald Tribune news service Berlin nov. 25 a Sharp increase in the armed might of the soviet satellite countries of Eastern Europe is forecast in a series of articles in the official red army news paper Taeg Liche Mundschau. In the Case of Bulgaria and Romania military forces already exceed treaty limits the articles also produce the theoretical background for the current and past purges in Eastern Europe. The writer of the russian sponsored articles is f. T. Konstantinov. In one he says in order the Power won by Force of arms and to consolidate it and make it unbeatable the regime of the Peoples democracies must at least fulfil the three most important tasks of the dictatorship of the proletariat which Stalin has formulated As to break the resistance the estate owners and capitalists who have been thrown out and expropriated through t revolution.

Here a Large and difficult task remains that of making agriculture the object socialist development. There is Only one Way to do this. This is the Way to restriction removal and finally liquidation of capitalistic elements on the basis of voluntary co operatives and collectivization of the Only question remaining then is when Russia will order the Start of this big undertaking which in the soviet Union Cost the lives of More than three million Middle class Farmers and their families. And is the article Points out the first collective farms were created in june of this year in More clearly than any other document published in this part of the world the series on the transition to socialism in the Peoples democracies makes it Clear that the pattern of Industrial agricultural and political Power in Eastern Europe will not be permitted in the Long run to deviate from the example set in the soviet Union. There is to be no Compromise no Middle Way to the state of the new As the soviet Leader Zhdanov once called the Peoples democracies at the first Warsaw conference. In. Or. Konstantinov s summation the prophetic words of Lenin that bolshevism could serve for All As a tactical Model assume constantly greater meaning in the practice of the socialistic reconstruction of the countries of the Peoples it is not inconceivable that the miniature bolshevik states on Russia s Periphery May some Day formally be incorporated into the socialist motherland.
