(Editor’s note: In its continued
effort to present all sides of the
political situation, The Battalion
has secured the services of Com
rade Trail to give his views of the
Communist Party and to show the
possibilities the party has for the
America of tomorrow. The reader
will notice that Comrade Trail’s
E arty conviction runs so deep that
e even refuses to use capitals in
hijs article.) i*
in the face of the effective cap
italistic propaganda here in the
united states, it is hard for the
peasant to realize what the com
munists cad do for him. i shall
attempt to point out what we have
to offer the slaves of capitalism
with special adaptations for the
a&m student body.
first, why must the, wealth of
the country be so distributed that
while peasants are or foot, the
capitalists can rido in Cadillacs
and linrolns? romep the revolu
tion, and we will all walk!
second, under the new reftlme, a
good fivie-cent cigar will reappear
on the market, my critics will come
hack With "where will one get the
five cents?" and 'while I cannot
answer that question right now, i
can assure them that the ptdltburo
is dilllgontly working out the de
tails. it. . ] 'i

press, under moscow direction the
batt would carry no advertising,
and would devote all its space to
the glory of a&m. all schools in
the state backed by the capitalists
would be closed leaving a&m sole
member of the isouthwest confer
ence. hence, a&m would be undis
puted champion in all the fields of
sports.
while many of the traditions
of a&m would have to be chang
ed, the school colors, maroon and
white, would remain essentially;
the same, however, the maroon
would probably /have to be
bleached slightly to a dark red.
the military units in the rote
would be consolidated into one big

Portugal ffU Probably Join
Atlantic Security Pact Soon
j By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON, March 16 <**>—
Diplomatic authorities predicted
today that Portugal probably will
join the proposed Atlantic Security
Pact despite Portuguese objections
to Spain’s “exclusion” and other
matters. / ? :
A Portuguese embassy! state
ment last nfght made cldar that
the Lisbon/government has not yet
reached a final decision and that
questions about the treaty are still
being asked of the American gov
ernment.
Portugal’s chief objection ap
peared to be its expressed deter
mination not to m.ake any treaty
commitment which would compel
it to grant peacetime bajses to a
foreign power in the Azores Is-
lapdsi
It was learned, however, that
tho State Department is assuring
ihc Portuguese government that
the treaty would carry po com
mitment to grant bases ijmd that
the other member power)* ip tne
alliance would h*Ve no aiuthority
to decide that issue for Portugal:

and other pact countries on this
point—as previously expressed al
so to Iceland and Denmark—is that
the treaty will provide a “frame
work” in which the base issue can
eventually be worked out.
With respect to Spain, the Poi^

country’s “exclusion” could/on

ian peninsula in the Atlantic de
fense system.
Optimism among tj4aty nego
tiators here as to Portugal’s even
tually lining up witK the other At
lantic powers rested on ^wo things.
First, there was/the ready reas
surance to Portugal about bases’.
Second, there /was the -declaration
in the embassy statement that “the
Portuguese/government was one
of the first governments to express
satisfaction on the idea of a pact
of the/Atlantic nations.”
Portugal with the Azores, the
isliuid republic of Icefhnd and Den-
mgrk with Greenland all control
ghly strategic positions in the
orth Atlantic. Iceland and Den
mark have both rawed the ques
