MOSCOW, Mar. 26.-The next

Foreign Ministers for an over
all settlement of the German prob
lem, the conference may well run
on another three or four weeks.

thing substantial.
If, on the other hand, the Rus
slams don't start talking turkey this
week, it's good bet time viii be
called within few days and the
Western delegates will start home,
Secretary Of State Marshall lead
ing the way.
Even In the latter event it seems
most unlikely that there will be
an actual breakdown Of negotia-
tions, with everybody rushing of
in huff. Failing an overall soiu-
ton, 1t is reasonable to expect the
ministers will still manage to come
up with some sort Of agreement on
an Austrian treaty and limited
short-range working compromise for
Germany, enabling the Big -Four to
carry on little easier there along
present lines for a while.
The ministers should also man.
age to write fancy communique
on the conference, st,essing their
agreement in principle as to issues
on which they have been unable
to agree in fact.
This, in general, would be what
most observers expected OF tine
council when it first met here 16
days ago. Many who were then
most dubious of prospects now take
seriously the idea that Russia may
move speedily toward concessions
which might make possible a real
overall solution to the German
problem.
Although there is still more doubt
than hope that she will, this ten
dency toward relative optimism re-
fleets the truth that the atmosphere
here today is better than at any
previous Big Four conference since
the war.
The reason the atmosphere is bet
ter Is that Russia, once her opening
sally on the Chinese issue was re-
pulsed, has not used obstructionist
tactics with which the world be-
came so familiar at London, Paris
and New York.
There is ground for hope that she
won't use them. Those who think
she won't are Influenced by two
ideas. First is that, in negotiations
which should now begin in earnest,
the United States and Britain hold
the high cards. Second is that Rus
sia badly needs real agreement
out Of these negotiations.
U. s. Can Use High Cards.
Since, this time, Russia needs to
compromise worse than we do, it Is
felt that we can play out the high
cards for all they are worth. We
can afford, that is, to wait for real
concessions from Russia before
striking bargain.
And, being in position this time
where we can afford to wait, we do
not this time have to allow ourselevs
to be kept waiting. This is why, If
Russia really wants to produce q
bargain here, she will have to indi-
cate it within the next few days.
What Is behind the feeling that
Russia needs an agreement on Ger
many so badly? Why can't she
afford to wait for things to work
themselves out" as we can? Answer
to these questions can, think, be
put in many ways. One answer, GER

again In press commentary on the
conference. 1t Is that Russia needs
Preparations from the industrial pro-
duction of Western Germany.
But there is another and perhaps
more fundamental reason why Rus
sia needs a quick overall solution
to the German problem.
Wants Share in West Reich.
It is this:
Russia needs an overall agree
ment because she must get in on
the control of Western Germany
particularly the Ruhr, and it has
been made clear to her here that
our price for share in this control
Is an overall settlement acceptable
to us. There is, moreover, an i'm
portant time factor in the Russian
calculations on this point.
Now that British and American
occupation zones have been united
Russia knows that every day the
economy of Western Germany Is
slowly coming back. It has quite q
way to go; we and the British are
still having to pay out Of our pockets
for necessary imports into the area
But Russia knows the day Is COM
ing-that 1t Is In fact not far of
when Western Germany once again
will be exporting more than 1t i'm
ports.
Trade patterns which develop
then = which actually are already
deyeloping-will last q long time
Russia knows. She can see the
product Of this rich area flowing
westward in its traditional channels
rather. than eastward in the new
channels Russia has dug for the
conquered lands.
And this area, which will in effec
be lost to her unless she can speedily
get share of control over distribu.
ton Of its output, is the natura
powerhouse and production center
Of Europe. Compared to it, all ths
territory which Russia has brought
under her domination is an eco.
nomic drop in the bucket.
Sees Specter of Bloc.
It is more than a loss which Rus.
sia fears here. For In the picture
of Western Europe, pulling itsel1
together economically around tn,
industrial dynamo of the Ruhr, she
sees the specter of the thing sh.
least wants to see today-a Westerf
European bloc, potentially more
powerful, economically and politi.
cally, than the tightest East Euro.
pean bloc she could devise woule
ever be.
Russia, in short, must race against
time to get share in the contro
of trade policies of Western Ger.
many before the export surplus fol
the area is developed and its foreign
trade pattern becomes set.
From Russia's point Of view the
price we are asking is very-high
Essentially it is that if Russia wants
to get into the western game, she
must play by western rules. It may
we'll be higher price than Russia
is willing to pay now.
In the long run, however, hope
for cooperation lies in the posi-
bility that Russia may decide it
will pay her better to play the
game our way than not to play it
at all

 SURVEYING A SAMPLE GROUP of $500 of it's pol icy holders the Northwestern National Life Insurance Company has found out interesting things about public opinion In recent poll of this group on military training It ascertaned that 87 per cent favor peace time military training for all able-bodies young men This is douby impressive because only81 per cent of that opinion in 1944 when the company conducted similar survey.
 The growth of sentiment for universal military tran- ing since the ended may stare good many people The usual assumption is that after anything mli- tary becomes unpopular. But with millions of turning from active military service, there new pub lie support for military training in peacetme Veterans rule have learned the advantages of learning the art of war before one is plunged into it.
 Furthermore, the last year two has been period of tension in world politics. And is being realized clearly that adoption of universal military train ing would materially strengthen hand as nation in the conduct of foreign policy.
 Of the 13 per cent of policy holders opposed uni versal military traning in this recent poll fully half would favor type of training given through all public high schools Thus it appears that only about per cent of the total actually opposed to military training any form whatever.
 These are figures worthy of more attention in Con- gress than they to be getting There manifest disposition among legislators to dodge the military training issue, the theory that any program at all would be unpopular. Indeed, the tendency is all the other way.

Federal School Aid To Be Killed

WASHINGTON (P)-The House Republican leadership was report ed Thursday to have issued orders to the labor committee to kill a bill which would give states $3O0,- 000,000 year in federal aid for schools.

 Majority leader Halleck of In- diana, asked about the report said there has been no determination on the matter"
 A subcommittee still is holding hearings on the bill, he said, and they are mot just a gesture" But he also said:
 "Of course, we are not exactly hunting ways to spend more money. And many states have done a lot in the last year for their schools and teachers
