Red Leader Asks Solidarity

LONDON (AP} - Mao Tze-Tung
yesterday humbly recognized the
Soviet Union as the world's great-
est Communist power and offered
to soft-pedal his ideological quar-
rel with Premier Nikita S. Khrush-
chev in the interest of Red solidar-
ity.
The Chinese Communist lead-
er and his three top associates in
Peiping sent a message to Moscow
wh~ich stopped just short of bowl-
ing completely to Khrushchev's
will.
Their telegram, addressed to
Khrushchev and Soviet President
Leonid Brezhnev, was broadcast by
Moscow radio. It spoke of "the
eternal inviolable fraternal friend-
ship" of the peoples of Red China
and the Soviet Union and called
for Communist countries to "rally,
together even closer and intensi-
fy the struggle against imperial-
Theory Favored
Mao almost seemed to buy
Khrushchev's theory that war has
become unthinkable in this ni-
clear age and that Communism,
in any event, is strong enough now
to defeat capitalism by competi-
tion without shooting.
But this part of the message
contained a hedge. As worded, it
was sort of a Chinese puzzle cap-
able of various interpretations.
Mao did not specifically ac-
knowledge that war has become
an impractical instrument of na--
tional policy in the H-Bomb age.
War Inevitable
Mao regards himself as a sup-j
porter of fundamental Leninist
doctrine. He has described war
as an inevitable part of Commu-
nism's march to world domina-
tion. And, what is even graver, he
has suggested that Khrushchev's
revisionist doctrines tend to weak-
en the revolutionary drive of the1
Communist world.
Others who signed the message
with Mao were Liu Shao-Chi, Chu
Teh and Chou En-Lai. Their tele-
gram was in response to congrat-
ulations offered by Soviet leaders
on the 11th anniversary of the,
formation of the Chinese Commu-
nist regime.
Mao's telegram came after
months of campaigning by
Kbrushchev in other parts of the
Communist world to gain support
for Moscow's no-war line.
The Chinese Communist leader
messaged that his people were in-
spired by the "enormous successes
in the construction of commun-
ism" attained by the Soviet people.

-Col. Joseph Mobutu virtually

'Interference'

Charles de Gaulle twice yester-

trying to interfere in the Alger-

Addressing tens of thousands of
wildly cheering Frenchmen in
Cannes and later in Nice, he bit-
terly criticized what he called "in-
terference in our business."
The French government has al-
ways considered the 6-year-old Al-
gerian insurrection an internal
affair, not subject to outsidg com-
