They a id Khrushchev an- lounced the stand at the govern- nent's New Year party in the last night.

It was interpreted both as a step in a new tough Soviet policy igainst the West and a move to jolster Khrushchev's party posi- ion despite his denunciation of Jtalin last February. The reported Khrushchev dec- aration thus seemed to indicate lie Kremlin leaders were ready restore the dead Stalin lo some of his former glory and policy on the explosive situation Russia's satellites as a result of Ihe Hungarian revolt, The Central Committee met recently amid speculation it would discuss a policy toward the satellites. No immediate announcement of any decision came from that meeting. Khrushchev, and Premier Bul- ianin went to Belgrade in 1955 .0 patch up peace with Yugoslav President Tito, a policy which led .0 some liberalizing tendencies toward the satellites. Khrushchev also is reported to have led in exposing of the evils of Stalin- ization.

His exact remarks on Stalin last February have nevci 3een published in the Soviet Unon, however. The declaration came ainidsl other indications that (lie men in Kremlin have resolved thcii viewpoints and decided on a par- return to a Stalinist get-tough policy toward the West.

Well when it comes to fighting impc- rialisst we arc all Stalinists." This apparent switch in the of ficial Kremlin line on Stalin was foreshadowed lasi week when the Soviet press splashed a Red Chi nese editorial "People's Daily" in Pciping which said ii effect that Stalin had made mis takes but his good deeds far out weighed them. The official line before that hai been that Stalin had his gooi points but his mistakes far out weighed them.
