Eastern Europe BY SKILFUL MANOEUVRING, the Communists are the dominant party in Eastern Europe after a two-year political offensive. They practically spread-eagle the political field from the Baltic to the Greek frontier.- .; Yugoslavia, Romania, Bulgaria and now Poland Jre confirmed as Communist-led and dominated jfvith the party following a rigorous line and dealing "ruthlessly with its onnonents. jP Hungary and Czechoslovakia are the weak links in tne cnam. mere, more lenient Communist policies are followed. The Hungarian Communists are the second strongest party in the country and share in a true coalition government in Budapest but are striving to extend their influence. ' The Czech Communists, while they are the top party, are obliged to adopt a moderate policy because the ideas of western democracv havp nnr rlis. appeared. But in Warsaw. Belgrade. Kofi.i and RnrWpsr the Communists are supreme,, with their inspiration stemming, from Moscow, although that is generally denied by party leaders. The Communist pattern for political conquest in easrern fcurope has been something like this: The Red Army liberated the countries and left t -onps there for a long time after the war ended. In these chaotic times the Communists put on a tremendous drive for influence, under the protecting wing of the army. Shrewd leaders many of them trained in Moscowcreated the basis for long-term political power. The most serious political opponents were crippled from the start. To broaden their appeal, the Communists generally worked for some form of "People's Front" in which they could still maintain control. When a government took shape, Communists usually were in the important cabinet posts, such as foreign and economic affairs, defence information and the police. Through these departments they were able to direct the nation as they desired. Extent of Communist direction varies in degree. Except in Czechoslovakia and Hungary, it amounts to the dictatorship of a comparatively small group, backed by police and even army power which can be employed as the group pleases. Elections are held but "free" voting is only a name. The "front" or the "bloc" wins, with the Communists firmly in the saddle. The political .set-up is called "democracy" but it is a connotation yhich bears little resemblance to democracy in the ,west. t m, J fi "WILDS OF NORTHERN B.C." ' I ACK OF KNOWLEDGE or carelessness, or pos-L sibly a combination of both, resulted in a Toronto announcer of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, using the words "wilds of Northern British Columbia" in connection with the site, introducing CBC "news round-up" last night which contained a sequence by Bill Herbert of Vancouver about the new celanese pulp mill for Prince Rupert. Rightfully enough, the allusion aroused a deal of indignation here with the result that wires of protest were sent from a number of local organizations. ' Naturally, this important railway terminus, commercial centre and recognized port of importance , on the British Columbia coast resents being described as a wilderness, particularly by a national network radio commentator who should know better. T- !jf! THOUGHTLESS VANDALISM SATISFACTION vandals who have been WHAT shooting at insulators of power lines can find in their asinine acts is hard to appreciate. Pos- sibly, although they must know it is wrong to do so, there was a degree of thoughtlessness about it. Possibly they did not realize how much depends upon an uninterrupted flow of power supply the steady operation of industries and the comfort and convenience of almost every citizen,including the vandals themselves. Power line maintenance people certainly have enough to contend with in the protection and repair of the lines from natural and normal causes without having to put up with elements like this too. There may be no desire particularly to prosecute the perpetrators but it is certainly to be desired that they will come to their senses about the "T senselessness of such acts.
