Ryan Writer Moscow's agreement with Czechoslovak leaders leaves many questions unanswered, lnjt some conclusions seem inescapable. One is that both Russians and Czechoslovaks will pay lieaily for what happened. Another is that Soviet troops will remain in Czechoslovakia until Moscow is certain that the Communist Party there lias a reform fever under strict control.

It seems inevitable that there will be a severe clamp-dowon Czechoslovak press and broadcasting which for a few months gloried in a freedom they had not known for 20 years. Probably more titan any single aspect of the reform, the lifting of censorship irked the Russians by permitting criticism of communism and of the Soviet -- Places of Authority If experience is a guide, Communists who orthodox toed the Kremlin line will reappear in places of authority, shielded by Russian favor. Some of the others, at best, seem destined for oblivion. But there is bad news for the Kremlin, too. It has a heavy net loss to show for its demonstration of massive power. W h a t it achieved by force might have been done earlier by swift surgery, or been accomplished less noisily by application of economic pressure for which the Kremlin had all the levers iu its hands. Kremlin decided The against military force, then reversed gears. For the indecision someone in high places is likely to have to pay.
