National Trends

A Communist View of Soviet Strategy

There are trends—and trends. Those of policy we pay most attention to, the unfolding of events and pronouncements by public people, and the meaning these seem to hold for the future. The U. S. is negotiating firmly about Berlin, and so appears unlikely to yield the world without a struggle. The Soviet Union has succeeded in making Berlin negotiable, and so appears likely to keep inching ahead toward world dominion. Watching such trends becomes tiresome because they don’t change much; and depressing because they augur doom.
