Kuhlman Says United States Ineffective in Polish Crisis By JOHN SHEPARD Start Wrilcr Dr. James Kuhlman, director of the James Byrnes International Center spoke Wednesday night on the crisis in Poland. Kuhlman. a specialist in comparative East Europeancommunistcountries said the United States was inettective in dealing with the crisis. Kuhlman said nuclear proliferation and grain embargoes are useless against Soviet expansionism and the use of economic and technological power is far more powerful against the Soviets. "I think creeping capitalism is much stronger than creeping socialism", Kuhlman said. Kuhlman said the United States is putting money in the wrong place to contain the Soviets." In history, no Soviet act has ever been preventable by the United States, and 1 find it hard to understand why we are still using nuclear weapons to scare the Soviets from expanding." Concerning the crisis in Poland. Kuhlman said five main actors are involved; 1) Solidarity, 2) Polish United Workers Party, 3) USSR, 4) United States and 5) Catholic Church. Kuhlman said that all of these actors are not blameless except theCatholicChurch.Kuhlman said Solidarity acted too last ana went 100 tar wun tneir revolution; ana inat ine rwf is a splintered communist party due to historical reasons. As for the Soviet Union, they were putting too much pressure on Gen. Jaruzelski to prevent a workers movement. Concerning the United States, Kuhlman said "Washington has a misunderstanding of the situation in Poland. "We were talking out of two sides of our mouths, Gen. Haig told the workers to revolt because the Soviets would be in there in six weeks." We cannot blame Gen. Jaruzelski, Kuhlman said. He had to take the first move or the Soviets would be in there right now." Concerning Soviet intervention in Poland, Kuhlman said the Soviets are scared of the situation right now." Throughout history they have seen workers revolts in Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia and they are scared of it. The last easy interventions for the Soviet Union are over."
