1t will be said that the Rus
slams use that approach solely to
represent themselves as peaceful
and that the statement Is mean
ingless. But. on the other hand,
the American note was caustic
and pointed and could readily
have evoked reply wholly bel
licose in tone.
1t will be noted that imme-
diately after the Russian note
arrived here. President Truman
answered a question at his press
conference saying he stood by
his original remark about Rus
sian agreements not being
worth the paper they are writ
ten on. Whether this was or was
not a discreet comment to make
and one calculated to delay a
negotiation, the fact is that
what the President says reflects
accurately the state of mind of
all the important officials In the
United States Government to-
day.
The American thesis now is
that. after its rearmament pro-
gram has reached its goal in a
year or two. the Russian gov
ernment will be impressed by
our strength and will be per-
suaded thereby to become con-
clliatory. Hence there is. as
has been pointed out before in
these articles. a certain in
consistency in the position of
both the President and Secre-
tary of State Acheson who, on
the one hand. say agreements
with Moscow are worthless and.
on the other hand. predict that
some day the United States will
nevertheless be ready to ne
gotiate agreements with the

David Lowrence:

Of her choosing in the world
situation.
. The latest exchange Of notes
between the Soviet and Ameri-
can governments is very re-
vealing. It indicates not only
that the Russians were quick
to take advantage Of Ambassa-
dor Kinks final visit to their
foreign office but that the price
Of a truce or concessions in
Korea Is still related to fac
tors that concern the rearma-
ment Of Germany and the fu-
ture Of Japan.
What Is most significant is
the pointed reference in the
Russian note to the informal
comment by President Truman
recently that agreements with
the Soviet Union are not worth
the paper they are written on"
Instead Of regarding this as
an expression Of hopelessness,
the Russians adroitly turn it to
q bid for further negotiations.
They, Of course, endeavor to
place the United States in the
position Of refusing to negoti-
ate and hence Of planning only
the use Of force. But they also
challenge America to put faith
in paper agreements. anyway.
The most important section Of
any diplomatic note is the
windup-the last paragraph
and in the Russian note this
reads as follows:
"Nonetheless, the Soviet gov
