Its propaganda implies obliquely\nthat, in seeking to accomplish the purposes of the occupation with a\nminimum of disruption and ill-will, the U.S. is retaining in power \"re-\nactionaries\" whom it regards as potential allies.\ni. Great Britain and the United States share scathing attacks on\n\"zealous warmongers\" who seek to prevent \"further development of the co-\noperation among democracies that arose (during) the war against Fascist\naggression.' Britain is criticized more severely than the U.S. with re-\ngard to occupation policies, treaty drafting, and reparations questions.\nIn addition British policies with respect to Spain, Greece, the Middle\nEast, and colonial issues are heavily attacked.\nReactionary developments in the U.S., such as the Ku Klux Klan, are\nstressed, as are strikes, unemployment, and the disadvantages of living\nin a capitalist economy.\n3. Soviet foreign pólicy is presented as consistently directed toward\nthe establishment of peace, democracy, international cooperation, and uni-\nversal security. All resistance to Soviet policy is that of \"reactionaries\"\nseeking to defeat these purposes.\nIn contrast, the policy of the United States is to dominate the world by\nmeans of the atomic bomb. In the United Nations the attitude of the United\nStates is a domineering denial of the equality of states, and particularly of\nthe Soviet Union's well earned right to equal leadership in world affairs.\nIn occupied areas the United States supports \"reactionary\" elements; its in-\nterest in overseas bases is \"imperialistic.\nSoviet propaganda does not admit the possibility of a conflict of in-\nterest between the U.S.S.R. and the U.S. The trouble is that, under \"reac-\ntionary\" influences, the U.S. Government has departed from the policies of\nPresident Roosevelt. The American people, however, are alarmed by and op-\nposed to this development.\nDECLASSIFIED\nE.O. 11652, Sec. 3(E) and 5(D)\nMARS Date\nEx\nSECRET"
