Thus, they have tried to create the impression of a willingness to permit free discussion of all points of view et international Communist conferences, end a mutual respect for the independence of all perties. The growing number of Communist parties and leaders who express points of view diverging from those of the CPSU has seemed at times to bear witness to @ more relaxed attitude on the part of the Soviets toward dissent. But the fact is that this dissent is growing precisely because the Soviet leadership is "stalinistically" incapable of acknowledging the Validity of any point of view except its own and because it hes never ceased trying to force its will on other parties in the internationel novenent's private councils. ‘A revealing reminder of the continuing Soviet practice of dictating to the internetional movement was given recently by the Albenien Workers’ Party. About June 1970, the third volume of a history of the Albanian Workers' Party [Communist] was issued. It contained ‘the hitherto unpublished speech which Enver Hoxha, then as now F Secretary of the Albanien Workers’ Party, delivered to the all- importent meeting of 81 Commmist parties in Moscow in Novenber 1960. (Attached are excerpts from this speech as broadcast in Bnglish by Tirana radio in June and July of this year. It was also published in the August issue of the Albanian Party Journal, Rruga e Partisé.) the apeech represents the Albanian party's officiel reaction to the Soviet initiative undertaken et the Rumanian Communist Party Congress the previous June to bludgeon the world's CP's into condemning the Chinese Communist Party for the latter's refusal to adopt the Soviet international line. Hoxha's speech minces no words in describing the arbitrariness of the Soviet leadership in pushing through its own Line without the slightest regard to the views of their so- called "equal, fraternal" parties. In view of the bluntness of Hoxhe's attack, it may be thet this was a watershed in Soviet-Albsnian relations. It is hard to imagine the Soviets! being able to overlook Hoxha's insult, though the open, no-holds-barred, name-calling polemics did not breek out until some two years later.

This they do by careful residing and analysis of the 6fficial noncomival handouts from such conferencés, more rarely on the basis of what some dissenting Conmunist participating in the conference wishes to reveal Zor hs own purposes, Here is the rare opportunity of seeing directly whet actually happens, to watch the efforts of the Soviets to dominate world Communism. Tt is instructive not only concerning Soviet attitudes and behavior to the present day, but perhaps equelly so concerning the curious conspiracy by which so many of the free vorld CP's Kept silent about the boubshell Enver Hoxha dropped ten years ago. ‘Approved For Release a Approved For Release 1999/09/02 : CIA-RDP79-01194A000400030001-9 4 Excerpts from @ Speech by Enver Hoxha, First: Secretary of the Albanian Workers’ Party to the Meeting of 81 Communist end Workers Parties in Moscow, 16 Novenber 1960.

On the basis of this material, entirely unknown up to a few hours vefore the meeting of the conference, the delegations of the fraternal sormunist and workers! parties were supposed to pronounce themselves in fu yor ofthe views of the Central Comittee of the Commmist Party of the Soviet Union at altime when they hhad come to Bucharest for another purpose... | "the fact is that the overriding concern of the Soviet leadership was to have its accusations against the Chinese Communist Party passed over quickly and to have the Chinese Commmist Party condemed|at all costs. “our party would have been in full agreenent with an|intermational conference of the conmmnist and workers parties...nrovided that Jaose conferences were in order, had the approval oi in Bucharest by unjustly condeming, the Chinese Communist Party for a:.,/ing allegedly deviated 'from Marxian leninism, for having allegedly violated and abandoned the 1957 Moscow Declaration.
