Anastas I. Xikoyan, the about the Sonet Union concerned the doctrine of "permanent revolu- tion" propagated by Leon D. Trotsky, one of Lenin's claef lieutenants and the founder of the Red Army. Trotsky asserted that communism was the wave of the future. He predicted revolution would spread over the world after the Bolshevik takeover in Russia in 1917. Between World War I and World War II, onany Western statesmen took Troi-skliterally and succumbed to the "Red scare" believing that the Russians could, and would, take over the world. World War II altered that fear. The clear and present danger in 1939 came from Hitler, not Stalin. Stalin had expelled Trotsky from the Soviet Union for his leanings in 1929 and declared a policy of "socialism in one country" for Russia. The Nazi attack on the Soviet Union in June, 1941, ultimately led to the wartime alliance of the United States, Great Britain and Russia against Hitler. From this marriage of convenience grew the misconception that "Uncle" Joe Stalin was a commissar, acknowledged in a recently published memoir that he pondered whether or not to accept the escort during his trip fiom New York to Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington. But, in the end, Mikoyan consented. And he discovered Service that the Foreign identified only as officer, Villard, acted as a perfect gentleman, winning the confidence of the Russians with his knack for mixing cocktails. Mikoyan went on to have a distinguished career. He became a member of the elite Communist Party Politburo, a first deputy prime minister, and Soviet president. When he retired, he began writing his recollections. His memoir on the U.S. trip, published at the end of 1971, revealed a fundamental problem plaguing would who despot n relations at all kindly with the Western cooperate levels: democracies to build a new and After more than 50 years of stable world. profound ideological differenLeading experts on Russia y ry Soviet-America- ces, Russians and American tend to be deeply suspicious of each other.

The Episcopal Church of the United States had proposed the company disclose the nature of its operations in South Africa because of that nation's apartheid policy. A proposal by the Episcopal Church last year that GM close all its operations because of the segregationist policy also had been defeated.

Furthermore, the Soviet Union had suffered deeply from the Nazi surprise attack in June, 1941. It had lost 20 million killed during the War, and another 33 million wounded. The Soviet government and Communist party gave top priority to the development of strategic weapons capable of hitting back at the United States. The United States, meanwhile, sought to return to a peacetime economy only to be distracted by the Korean War from The year 1957 brought a rude surprise.
