US devotees of foreign neutralism are blushing a deep
crimson at the refusal of Yugoslavia's dictator Tito to
accept further American military aid (of which he has
already received over $1 billion).
. . . This "smokescreen," point out skeptics, conceals
the facts (a) that Tito's representative is known to have
assented to every article of Moscow's anti-Western line, as
set forward in the communique, and (b) that Poland's
Wladyslaw Gomulka also heralded as an "independent"
Communist by US "liberals" and a recent recipient of our
aid (see Human Events for August 10, 1957) faithfully
adhered to Moscow's orders in all particulars, signing every-
thing that was put before him.
Conservatives scanning the results of the Red conclave
in Moscow, in the perspective of time, also emphasize the
significance of this statement: "In this struggle for winning
power and building socialism the Communist parties seek
cooperation with the Socialist parties. Although the right-
wing Socialist party leaders are doing their best to hamper
this cooperation, there are increasing opportunities for co-
operation between the Communists and Socialists on many
issues."
This pronouncement is seen as clearly foreboding the
advent of a new Popular Front period in which Communists
coalesce with other left-wing groups to advance their ob-
jectives. Anti-Communists cite, in this connection, the pro-
nouncement of the American Communist party convention
that social reformists such as Walter Reuther and David
Dubinsky, and "bourgeois reformists" such as the ADA are
"in the absence of a mass Social Democratic party in the
USA" "performing the function of Social Democracy."

Event Details
US devotees of foreign neutralism blush at Yugoslavia's dictator Tito's refusal of further American military aid despite receiving over $1 billion. Skeptics see this as smokescreen concealing Tito's assent to Moscow's anti-Western line in communique. Poland's Wladyslaw Gomulka, hailed as independent Communist and recent US aid recipient, adhered to Moscow's orders. Conservatives emphasize Moscow conclave statement on Communist parties seeking cooperation with Socialist parties, increasing opportunities despite right-wing leaders' resistance. This seen as foreboding new Popular Front where Communists coalesce with left-wing groups. Anti-Communists cite American Communist party convention pronouncement that social reformists like Walter Reuther and David Dubinsky, and bourgeois reformists like ADA, perform function of Social Democracy in absence of mass Social Democratic party in USA.
