Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - April 15, 1961, Winnipeg, Manitoba K i i i Winnipeg free press saturday april 15, 1861 Page 11 China has lost out to Moscow on Laos by Edward Crankshaw London special owns the damping Down of the crisis in Laos has been the first major soviet action in the International Field since the Moscow Confer ence of the 81 communist Par ties last december. Then As we now know sino soviet differences were brought to head. Conference ended in a Vic tory for prime minister Nikita Khrushchev. But it was a Quali fied and provisional Victory. And it was agreed that in two years time there should be would be the sort of armed intervention recently contemplated in some Western circles and at the Seato conference. He Means it by moderating the soviet attitude very much As president John Kennedy has modified the american attitude with his acceptance j the idea of Neutral Ity by replying in fairly conciliatory terms to the British note Britain comes into it for technical reasons As co chairman with the soviet Union another full scale meeting to of the 1954 conference set up to organize the control commission by sitting Down now with the British to work out a joint de discuss the Success or failure of the Khrushchev line. Looked at in this context the Laos affair must be seen As a test Case for Moscow. It is on China s Doorstep and Laos it self holds the key to South Viet Nam. The communists have been doing very Well in that torn and driven country and there is no doubt at All that if Laos fell South Vietnam would go too. The temptation to the Chi Nese to give an extra push to Laos must have been must still be very great indeed. But or. Khrushchev has so far restrained them. In doing this he is running Blean counter to the whole chinese position As spelt out in secret conclave and in the inspired press Campaign of last year. Positive duty from peking s Point of View it is not merely desirable it is the positive duty of russians and chinese to help their. Communist comrades when they Are on such a Good wicket not to do so would be a betrayal of the principles of Lenin. Moscow s Point of View on the other hand is that although the encouragement of communist parties everywhere is indeed the Ideal there is a time and a place for everything to sup port revolutionary movements which might bring the soviet Union and China into head on collision with the West is some thing to., be avoided. The determining Factor Here is the fear of a Small local conflict expanding into a Majo nuclear War. The chinese conscious of their huge numbers have shown themselves contemptuous of these scruples and gone so far As to accuse the russians of suffering from nuclear cold feet. Cold feet in Laos have so far won the Day. It is something of an achievement for Moscow for if Ever there was a Case in which the communists would have been justified in supporting the Patchet lao up to the Hilt it was Here. When All was said it was America which had up set of rather than see it collaborate with pro communist As Well As pro Western elements and it was America which had Given heavy material support to the anti communist anti neutralise Uro Western government of Prince Boun Oum. From their Point of View both chinese and russians were perfectly justified in giving support to his opponents. And this is just what they were doing. If this continued there would indeed be a head on collision for the Only Way the West could arrest the Onward March of the Patchet lao with close at hand to help them Mand for a cease fire. Khrushchev has proved or. Two Points both in the nature of things provisional. He has demonstrated that he Means what he says when he Speaks so emphatically about avoid War local a major ones the need to wars As Well and he has the neutralise government Prince Souvanna Houma. Shown that he can exert decisive control Over China. The first has been pretty obvious to anyone with an open mind for some time if or. Khrushchev really wanted trouble he could have created it on a colossal scale with the movement of a Finger in the Congo in Algeria in Cuba and elsewhere. The second was not to be taken for granted. We do not yet know the Means he used to persuade or dragon the chinese into letting him i play the Laos game in his own Way. We do not know How bitter the struggle was perhaps still is. But external evidence suggests very strongly that some-1 thing like economic sanctions have come into it. Nothing As we know from their own admissions Hurt the chinese More than the withdrawal of soviet technicians from China last year it was the last coming at a. Time when China was suffering terribly from the consequences of her own economic megalomania great leap and a series of crushing body blows from the cruel elements. But or. Khrushchev did not immediately respond to their appeals for a return of the technicians and increased economic Aid. For some weeks while the laotian crisis was raging a chinese Trade delegation with out a responsible was left to Cool its heels in Moscow. But last week As things a Laos took a turn for the better the chinese minister of foreign Trade himself flew from peking to Moscow and was demonstratively received by or. Khrushchev himself. It seems fairly simple two and two to put to Gether.

Eight hour Farmers labor discipline has slackened markedly on collective farms. After listening to persuaders arguments that life on the Kolk Hoz would be More regular and More Akin to that of a worker or an employee Farmers insisted on the eight hour Day after they joined Farmers used to work 16 hours a Day on their own Fields with out complaining a provincial newspaper wrote bitterly now they want to work Only eight hours. The eight hour Day can not yet be realized in socialist farming probably it will never possible to have it during harvesting the news paper added. Families Are out of step too a red official is quoted As say ing. They Don t work on the farm anymore. He added that the Lack of machines must make us realize How important is the question of participation of fam ily members in the even agronomists trained by the government Are refusing to take jobs on the farms. One is reported to have preferred work ing As a Streetcar conductor in Sopron. He had been influenced he. Said by his father s account of life on his collective.

Industrial production is claimed to have risen 40 per cent in the last three years while farm output increased less than 12 per cent. It seems certain that the determination of the Hungar Ian reds to win Complete Vic tory on the farms is going to keep hungarians hungry and the reds on the defensive for some time.
