Brezhnevs epcech to the 24th Communist Party Congress in Moscow is a little like President Nixons recent State of the World Message to the U.S. Con- gress. It to long, vague, and hopefuls little something for everybody but essentially it is an ex- erclse In public relations rather than a practical basis for serious negotiations. The tone to conciliatory, but the substance to familiar and one sided. He wants final recognition of the territorial changes that took place in Europe after the Second World War that to, general acceptance of the division of Germany and Europe as a permanent condition of the European states.

He wants the annulment of the Warsaw and NATO military alliances and the "dismantling of foreign bases that is, he wants the Americans to go home, leaving the Red Army as the sole dominant military force on the threshold of Europe. lie wants the abolition of the remaining colonial regimes that to to say the final dismemberment of the old Western empires and the abolition of the old imperialism, but not the dismemberment of the new Communist empire or the new Communist imperialism. We declare that, he said, while consistently pursuing its policy of peace and friendship among nations, the Soviet Union will continue to conduct' a resolute struggle against imperialism, and firmly to rebuff the evil designs and subversions of aggressors. Translated tate the principles of Marxism and Leninism, this means the Soviet Union to following a policy of peace and friendship in Indochina, the Middle East, and Cuba, for example, while the United States is pursuing a policy of aggression, subversion, and Imperialism in these places. Well, peace and friendship on this basis, with control in And After We Taught Him Everything We Know!

He expressed the widely felt apprehension that the leaders of the Nixon administration were too much the prisoners of fears to bring to fruition the talks now going on in Vienna. He then put forward a practical suggestion to break the cycle of fear accept the Soviet offer of a limitation on the chief defensive weapon, the anti-ballistics missile, for a temporary period which would only be extended if the Russians responded positively to American proposals for a limit on offensive missiles. Humphrey put his arms control suggestions in the form of a guideline to the administration. And that guideline is apt to have real force whether the White House likek it or not.

For the WASHINGTON The man of the week here in Washington was Hubert Humphrey. Day after day he was all over the place batting out the long balls and making the big plays. So naturally the question of Humphrey as a Democratic candidate for president in 1972 is alive again. The biggest moment last week came in the Senate vote on the supersonic transport. Humphrey rose to the challenge as though he were playing media politics-seeming to hesitate the better to attract attention.

He had long been close to the labor leaders who were backing SST, and1 the two senators from Washington Henry Jackson and Warren Magnuson who were pushing for the Elane. Like many Democrats from the produc-lg states of the West, he felt comfortable with the notion of government backing for vast commercial enterprises. So the word was out that Humphrey might vote for the SST, and indeed put it over the top. That word loosed a deluge of counterpressure. Thousands of Minnesota constituents urged Humphrey to stand true to his ecological principles.

Younger colleagues in the Senate urged him to prove that he wore no man collar not even George Meanys. When the time came he did not let them down. The sure sign that SST would be beaten in the Senate was Hubert Humphreys vote against it. He emerged as the hero of the occasion. That very day Humphrey also presided over a highly significant session of the policy council of the Democratic National Committee.

It is a group that includes such outspoken and unred-cent Democrats as J. K. Galbraith and Walter Heller, and it usually amplifies to SST noise-levels whatever divisions are working in the party. But the meeting last week reached unanimous agreement on of all' disputatious issues Vietnam. The principle of total withdawal by the end of the year, in line with the proposed Hatfield-MoGovern amendment, wa accepted with only a flicker of opposition from former associates of President Johnson.

Mr. Johnsons name was not even mentioned in the debate. For all practical purposes the mortgage he held over 1 the party, and especially on Mr. Humphrey, had been lifted. My God, Humphrey said, hitting his paint on his forehead as the vote was recorded, it finally happened.

Humphrey position expresses the central view in the Democratic party! It is not very likely that hoJf would a the Russians are going to give Mr. Nixon, whom they dislike intensely, a 'better deal than they can make with the Democrats especially not if he Is -seeking re-election next year. Apart from ail that, Humphrey found time for a little politicking od some favorite causes. He lobbied fils own version of revenue-sharing with a group of mayors who found it more to their liking than any of the other proposals by congressional Democrats. He spoke up in the Senate against imposing a settlement on Israel.

He had the visitinjg Democratic state chairmen f' to a breakfast on the secret of how he won in ban 0(1 nuclear, chemical and 1970.

Indeed) the tmart. money now ranks Humphrey way ahead of such declared hopefuls as Birch Bayh and George McGovern when it comes to offering a serious challenge to the front-runner, Edmund Muskie.

Actually, the pattern of last week suggests at least an alternative Humphrey objective. The areas of the world and for coop- eration to Improve the environment of the globe all this is well worth careful exploration. One of the troubling aspects of the world situation at the present time is that the great basic fact, as both the SST vole and the policy Powers, outside their talks on council meeting demonstrate, to that Humphrey the Middle East and the limita-is still weighed (town by the burden of the tion of strategic weapon sys-The bitter memories of 19C8 would probably make Um less 'than the best candidate the Democrats could run against Mr. Nixon.
