This communist administration, with its own independent army
and police force, which is now armed and recognizes no laws of the
state of Turkey, will soon begin resorting to violence again. It will
always respond to calls for peace and reconciliation with violence, ter-
ror and aggression. It will ban the ballot box and elections. It will pro-

army, police force and weaponry. As a state in its own right, with flag
and army, it will be impossible to keep such an organization at bay
through military precautions.
At this point, Turkey will suffer a heavy blow from the autonomy

granted. In addition to material losses, it will suffer severe psycholog-

the homeland, the republic and the military will become an easy target
for the communist state in question. The public will be put into a state
of panic through violence and will have to accept what communism
imposes by violence. Following that, demands for full independence
will follow just as surely as night follows day. Since communist

regimes make use of the existence of "peoples" and their demands in
order to achieve their own aims, the communist administration in
