What the Rus-sians are up to, no one around the state department appears to know for sure. Yet certainly Stalin's propaganda is designed to make all walk a straight and narrow path as Russia directs and to soften our officials into a frightened tender- - ness. Having attacked the religious and peace-minde- d American delegate, John Foster Dulles, as a war monger, the Russian government officially sent a note declaring State Undersec-retary Acheson to be "rudely slanderous" and "hostile toward the Soviet union" for having aid simply this: "Russia's for-- I eign policy is an aggressive and expanding one." Acheson did not volunteer this comment. He offered what the Soviets call "inadmissible behav-ior" under questioning by a con- - gressional committee on the Lilien-tha- l appointment. It may be inad-missible for anyone to speak out in Russia, but in a democracy it is paramountly necessary for a gov-ernment official to answer frankly the questions of congress. GO AFTER WHAT THEY WANT The word "aggressive" means "disposed to vigorous outgoing ac- - tivity in behalf of an object." Any undeluded person in the realm of reason must consider the term "aggressive" as applied to Soviet diplomacy to be accurately and mildly descriptive. The Soviets cer-tainly have been belligerently ag-gressive in Iran, have swallowed up Latvia, Esthonia and Lithuania, and their Communists pride them- - selves on being politically aggres- - sive throughout Europe and Asia, M do their delegates in U. N. Acheson also said Soviet pol-icy was "expanding," which means "enlarging, swelling, spreading out." Anyone who claims it is not would do vio-lence to the plain facts, which are no secret to any adult American. Russian foreign pol-icy is thoroughly in accord with world communism, which is bent on world conquest. Off the record around here, soma officials used to say when they saw the Soviets doing violence to lan- - guage and reason: "The Russians are crazy, but not that crazy." Now these same men say they are not so sure. The behavior of Russia diplo-matical-of late has been inimical to the simplest of common sense. It is becoming inadmissible to reason. Indeed, some diplomats wish to send Russia's world activi- - ties to a psychiatrist for the answer. MOTIVES NO MYSTERY However, this is not the general studied viewpoint of the close of Soviet technique. Russia doel not bother much about reason, only about reasons. Her motives are less a mystery to the new mili-tary regime than to the old Byrnes political crowd. I think the average impres-sion here is that Stalin (through Molotov) has really outdone himself this time in stretching lite professed willingness to be offended at the slightest mur-mur. He has reduced his pres-sures to absurdity. The old Roosevelt crowd used to con-sider Stalin's sensitivity as an inferiority complex. This theory held some weight until evi-dences of the Russian superi-ority complex accumulated in denial of it after the war. Per-sonally I think Stalin learned diplomacy from Hitler. You will recall Hitler was alternately frightening the world and being offended by it, and his tech-nique brought him many things he wanted. That game somehow has worn out. People are familiar with it, particularly military people. They are less inclined to fall into what-ever pattern of action the dictators try to Chase them. Words and poli-tics annoy them. They want to know the facts and they want to act on the facts. In view of this maintenance of realism, what the state department and General Mar-shall in his official note responding to the Russian protest have said publicly about the incident, is really only a part of what they actually think. LABOR LAWS AWAITED Much talk of an anticipated de-pression can be heard from busi-ness leaders, financial people and economic observers, but you will not see any sign of it. The larger enterprises (and people generally also,) seem to be waiting to see what the Republicans will do about labor. The majority apparently does not want to break the unions or their right to collective bargaini-ng, but they want to stop union domination of the economic situa-tion, and power to tie up the country.
