influence. . _ . •
American policy in Europe during j
this period has recognized the right j
of Russia to have “fhriendlv gov->
; einmernts along her European Iron-,
tier. The steady series of moves byi
which the Soviets have reduced' those
friendly governments to controlled:
^governments through the medium of,
Corrununism has been protested from (
the very first. But real ^ American |
power has not been brought to bear
at any point inside the Russian or-
! bit.
' Such power has been deployed in-1
stead, on the Western side of the line 1
* dividing Europe. It has been ex-
| pressed in terms of British and Am
erican troops in Germany, Austria
and the free territory of Trieste lying
between Italy and Yugoslavia.
It has also been expressed in the
i Marshall Plan for European recov-
1 ery—which is an effort to restore
I the strength of Britain, France and
j Italy so thep will be able .to with-
! stand Communism.

and see Italy threatened.
As political strategists here look
.at—the possibilities, there are., three
major moves which the Soviets might
(undertake next W’hich would bring!
them into more direct conflict with]
the Western powers. .These moves
are:
1. An effort to turn Norway and
Sweden into Communist stellites.
Their geography makes them of tre
mendous strategic interest to the
Western powers as well as Russ+a-r-
2. A new effort to break through
the Iranian-Turkish-Greek barrier
