We cannot agree. What has happened | in the last few weeks is merely in line with what has veofore. There is no change, except perhaps an increase in the temvo of the Soviet's cold war. In Prague and in Helsinki the Russians were afraid that the elections would go against communism. They could not afford to take the risk; thev cannot afford the luxury of a tug-of-war back of the iron curtain in the present struggle for the West. The matter, in our | opinion, is &s simple as that . Why should the Soviet chaneg the rules—from cold to hot war—when it is such an advantage and is winning?

It calls for the same preparedness as a shooting war, plus | political statesn rip. But, if attention to realities is the beginning of wisdom, the need is to know one’s ! adversary as well as to combat him. And that de- mands not ony knowledge of Russia and the Russians | but alsc common sense and an understanding of the | elements of modern strategy. ! In this connection, Prof. Gilbert Murray, | British philosopher, the other day wrote of a report | he saw in the Ttalian War Office in the early thirties | | which laid down “two absolutely true principles.” First | was that under modern conditions “it is madness for | any nation to attack an antagonist of approximately | equal | method of safe attack is to stir up party strife in the { victim country till it reaches the dimensions of civil | war, and then to intervene. Your victim is divided | against itself, and all the devastation would take place | outside your territory. The Russians would be fools ' as well as monomaniacs if at this stage of the game they abandoned their pattern of cold conauest. Their technique is now in full aisplay in Italy.
