Show The Herald Journal Logan Utah Friday January 1 1980 3 INF treaty buys Gorbachev some time By Andrew Wilson London Observer Service — and reasonable assurance that the Afghan Communist Partyd does not again fall victim to internal feuds In contrast to the great changes which glasnost has made in the Soviet arts and press (above all the now quite explicit denunciation of Stalinism in literature and the cinema) and moves to rectify history by the rehabilitation of Bakunin and other early revolutionary figures Gorbachev has still not been able to show concrete results from perestroika to the Sovietconsumer For many people the only changes have been higher prices harder work and reduced pay (because of rationalisation and stricter manufacturing quality control) Others whose support is badly needed to get the wheels of the economy turning have t een badly alienated by the Boris Yeltsin affair Nevertheless perestroika continues and in what Gorbachev now realizes is going to be a very long haul against inertia and bureaucracy the first items on the 1988 agenda will be education and agriculture There are also moves to reconstruct the abysmally corrupt and inefficient health jahideen Analysis MOSCOW — The Intermediate-rang- e Nuclear Forces Treaty has bought Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev some time — but nothing more than that — in which to consolidate the credibility of his leadership before the party and people Gorbachev has shown at last that he can achieve results in the international sphere But the relief to the economy from scrapping medium-rang- e missiles is marginal Both to extend his authority in domestic matters and to achieve some real relief for the civil economy it is absolutely necessary for him to move on to strategic arms cuts To get the projected 50 percent cut on which ne has set his sights he is prepared to be accommodating about the precise interpretation of the existing Missile Treaty but he has gone too far now to backtrack on his condition that such a cut be accompanied by an American undertaking to e hold off from Star Wars missile defense system All this makes a 1985 strategic arms treaty far from certain Anti-Ballist- To achieve the economic targets that Gorbachev and the party have set for the year 2000 it will also be necessary to make substantial reductions in conventional arms But there are no signs as yet of any proposal for reducing the 5 million men in the Soviet armed forces or modifying the present military conscription program An immediately popular move — and one which Gorbachev would dearly like to make — would be the withdrawal of Soviet forces from Afghanistan Soviet plans appear to envisage the reinstatement of an buffer state internationally guaranteed with its economic development fuelled by Western or Third World capital under a semblance of Socialist control But Moscow cannot risk the establishment of a fundamentalist Islamic regime on what is probably its most sensitive border There can be no withdrawal without a cessation of arms supplies to the Western-backe- d Mu two-ye- ic full-scal- ar service The litmus test of whether perestroika is bound for success or failure will come with the party conference (a special event in this case likely to be even more significant than last year's 27th Congress) in July What the conference endorses will set the country's policy — internationally and domestically — for the remainder of the If by the time it is held century Gorbachev has inserted enough of his supk party posts to porters into key carry things forward the prospects will be good — not for achieving all that is promised for the year 2000 but for being on the way to them sometime in the next century If not the country is in train for another period of stagnation — and actually or effectively a different leadership Internationally Soviet policy is interested in creatingthe stability necessary to the country’s progress with internalreforms This includes the Persian Gulf Southeast Asia and relations with China Above all there seems to be a good intention not to let clients like Gadhafi's Libya again drag the Soviet Union into situations from which it can draw neither profit nor prestige mid-ran- Distributed by Scripps Howard News Service Proud parents of test tube baby By Petty Reisser Scripps Howard News Service She’s got a full head of
