.# WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 14, 1948 % THE DAILY TIMES-CAZETTE PAGE ELEVE} Mishap To Soviet Leaders By DEWITT MACKENZIE Associated Press News Analyst Moscow denials of rumors that Premier Stalin is dead will, one suspects, be received with relief in the captals of the western democra- cles against which the Soviet lead- er is directing the Communist as- sault. I realize that such a statement seems to contain conflicting thoughts--and I could be wrong in my viewpoint. However, it strikes me that we are dealing with an idea which at first blush seems absurd and- yet actually is correct. My reasening is this: The conflict between the Rus- sian bloc and the western powers is in sych a dangerous state that a bad mis-step could produce another world war. Both sides recognize this and are proceeding with care because neither wints to see a third global upheaval. Thus so long as steady hands remain in control in each camp, the likelihood of a | ous major explosion in the near future isn't great. Well, now, Stalin's word is su- preme and final in Russia. For Could Create Difficulties ' more than a score of years his poli- cies have dominated both home affairs and foreign relations, in- cluding the handling of the bol- shevist world revolution for the spread of Communism. His foreign policy, while going the full limit of daring in the interest of Soviet ex- panision, apparently has been aim- ed at avoiding major warfare. So if Stalin's control suddenly were removed, and affairs were placed in charge of less dominant and shrewd men, a disastrous situ- ation could arise. example, an over-ambitious decision in Moscow regarding the flery Balkan situa- tion might touch off the power keg --and that's only one of many zones which are on the danger list. No, I think that right now west- ern democracy would prefer to see Stalin at the wheel in Moscow--and this despite the fact that he prob- ably is regarded generally by op- ponents as being the most danger- man ever pitted against our way of life. It isn't that democ- racy loves Stalin more but that it likes the idea of possible hot-head- ed instability in Moscow the less.
