Nothing But Propaganda
the normal course of events a com- munication such as that which the Soviet President has addressed to Mr
· Truman would immediately have the effect of easing the international tension and would raise high 'hopes among all peoples that world peace was about to be firmly established. Unhappily there can be no such reaction to this intest Russian gesture. It is neither new in design, nor is it couched in terms which suggest sincerity. In fact the letter is interlarded with a number of specious declarations, the most striking perhaps being the claim that Russia has been and still is too engrossed in "executing the tasks of peaceful reconstruction” even to think of war or preparations for it. Yet it is established that Soviet Russia today has ready for instant use the largest peace-time army and air force in history. For the most part Mr Shvernik's letter is charac- teristic Soviet propaganda-soothing and seductive in sentiment and phraseology. It advances only one positive suggestion-the conclusion of a five-power anti-war 'treaty. Super- ficially this is Innocent enough, but the motive behind the 'proposition becomes suspect when it is appreciated that
members of the United Nations, of which Russia is one, have already committed themselves to work together for the promotion of world peace. The Soviets have long shown they are not prepared to play their proper role, in this organisation to further its peace- ful aims, which leaves the conviction that Russia would have no more respect for a private treaty than sho has for the United Nations charter. The Kremlin suggests that the cold war,. which Russia initiated, requires a five- ; power agreement to bring it to an end. In reality Russia could stop the cold war tomorrow if she so desired; no special or specific pact is required. What the world awaits is a demonstration by . the Soviets of their honesty of purpose. High-sounding phrases are meaningless! unless they are accompanied by actions: in keeping with sentiments. To date Russia's behaviour in Europe and the Far East gives the lle direct to her protestations that she is interested only in preserving peace. Until and unless she practises what ahe: preaches, overtures such us that made by Mr Shvernik to President Truman must be discounted as propaganda.
