When President Gronchi rejected this insult by proposing that Khrushchev join the Christian Democratic Party. he received this ominous reply: I invite you to join the Communist Party. just so you wont be hurt. It is clear from this threat that the Russian Communists have not changed greatly from the days when they invaded and occupied Lithuania. One of the first things they did then was to carry out a mass deportation of all Lithuanian opposition leaders and elements to Siberia. One General Serov of the NKVD signed the master order for the deportation of these opposition leaders. This same General Serov is now chief of Khrushchevs reorganized secret police and no doubt has similar mass deportation programs in readiness for any country that falls under the control of the Russian Communists. Allow me to observe that this is not speculation. but a realistic estimate of the meaning of Khrushchevs threat to President Gronchi. The record of past deeds permits no other conclusion.
