Allies. But 1t was not until three
months later, in February, 1948,
that temporary arrangement was
arrived at which would not pre-
judice the right and authority OF
sector commanders alone to ap-
prove shipments from their respec-
tive sectors.
| This quadripartite agreement
was arrived at under the old
Ifour-power Kommandatura, which
ceased to function early in 1948
when the Russians walked out. All
trade stopped, of course, when the
Soviet blockade began in June.
When that attempt to intimidate
the Western powers failed, inter-
zonal trade resumed under a new
agreement.
This agreement, arrived at in
New York in May, 1949, ended the
blockade and provided for resump-
tion of interzonal trade without
hindrances from the Soviet side
to goods moving in transit. The
Western Allies have never spe-
officially accepted the right of the
Soviet authorities to control the
transportation of goods to and
from Berlin. They have tacitly
consented to have shippers sub
NIT their papers for stamping by
the Soviet authorities, but this
procedure was to be merely an
Iautomatic formality, enabling
goods to pass freely and expedite
ously across zonal boundaries.
The Allied powers have in
formed the West Berlin govern
ment. headed by Mayor Ernst
Reuter-. that the requirement now
made by the East zone authorities
namely, that papers will not be
stamped unless they are accom-
panied by the disputed certificates
of origin-is clearly illegal. May
or Reuter- has been advised that
Berlin manufacturing companies
cannot be made to abide by it.
The Russians have not yet off,
Icially answered the Western Allies
protests on the new certificates,
but Soviet news release late this
week limited that the new squeeze
would be lifted If the Bonn gov
Iernment resumed negotiations for
la new master agreement on inter-
Izonal trade. Nothing official has
been said along this line. however,
and the threat remains.

arrived mere. Tor a series OF conf
and the Economic Cooperation
before congressional committees,
which are expected to result in
expediting the arning of the
Bonn Republic.
2. The holding of the French
national elections today is ex-
Ipected to facilitate progress to-
ward German rearmament still
further.
The principal obstacle now still
remaining in the way of a restor-
alton of German military power
is the Soviet demand that the
project be abandoned and that
a Big -Four foreign ministers con-
ference be convened to discuss
the Western Powers defense pro-
grams as a whole.
If such a conference is con-
vened, German rearmament pre-
sumably will be postponed pending
the outcome of the meeting. If
the Council of Foreign Ministers
is not convened, on the other
hand. then German arming pre-
sumably can begin in the rela-
lively near future, with whatever
consequences such action may
entail.
Four-Power ToIks
MIR. McCloy and his staff have
been negotiating with the British
and French High Commissions in
Germany, and with the Germans
themselves. on two major cate
gories Of problems which must
be solved before German rearma-
ment can begin.
These are:
First, the technical questions
involved, such as what sizes and
sorts of units the Germans are
to be permitted to have, and
how these units are to be in
corporated in the North Atlantic
Treaty Organizations unified Eu-
ropean defense force.
Second, the Allies and the Ger
mans have been trying to work
out an agreed, freely negotiated
"contractual" relationship with
the Bonn Republic to replace the
present imposed occupation
statute.
Agreement on such new type
Iof relationship is a prerequisite
condition for German rearma-
ment, because the Germans won't
join the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization unless and until they
are granted equality, or reason
able facsimile thereof, with other
members.
A good deal of progress has
been made in solving both these
major categories of problems. Mr..
McCloy will report on this prog
ress and propose that negotiations
on them be pressed forward along
the same general lines as have
been followed thus far. Washing
ton is expected to approve the
general course of action which
Mr.. McCloy advocates.
The expectation that the
French elections will expedite
German arming is based on the
calculation that French politicians,
like some others, find it less diff
cult to make concessions in for
+eign policy after an election than
they do just before one.
French party leaders have been
saying privately for the past sew
|eral weeks that they did not dare
agree to any new measures to
rearm Germany before today's
|balloting, but that they would be
able to do so afterwards. WASH
ington, which is not altogether
unfamiliar with difficulties of this
sort. has understood the French
politicians predicament, sympa-
thized with it and refrained from
pressing Paris too hard on the
issue.
The outlook for German rearm-
ament is improving in other ways,
too.

| Once again, as so often in the
past. the Western powers are con-
fronted with new Soviet threat
i'm Berlin. The question today is:
Is this a new blockade. or simply
harassment?
Early this month the Russians
put into effect a decision, made
a month ago, which if carried to
its logical conclusion would cut
off the great majority of Western
Berlin's trade with the West
trade on which Berlin lives as a
highly industrialized city, import
ing every bit Of food for her
people.
The Russian decision was to
require West Berlin shippers to
provide certificates of origin for
Iall the raw materials which make
up the products being exported.
Suppose, for instance, some one
wanted to export radio from
Western Berlin to Western Ger
many. The radio must pass
through the Soviet zone to reach
its destination. In order to receive
ian interzonal shipping certificate
stamped by the Russians, the
radio must be accompanied by a
certificate showing where every
particle of material in it came
from.
Many Supply Sources
Western Berlin gets the mate
Irials for its industry from many
sources. A great deal is received
from Western countries. A great
deal also comes from Iron Curtain
sources, under a provisional in
Iterzonal trade agreement.
These new certificates affect II
Icategories Of goods, all of which at
one time or another have been the
subject of some Allied controversy
with the Russians. These are the
same II commodity groups which
were specified originally in the
four-poWer agreement of Febru-
Iary, 1916. as being in short supply
and subject to control by the COM
manders of the four occupation
zones.
In November. 1947, the Russians
set UP system of screening and
approving the shipping permits in
these II groups of goods trans
ported through the Russian zone
from Berlin. The action drew

military, leaders have made it
plain that in another two years
Russia may have lost her military
leadership.
Belgrade
ALEX H. SINGLETON-The
picture seems darker here than it
was a year ago.
The Soviet Union and its satel-
lites have intensified their three
year-old cold war against Tito's
independent but Communist coun-
try. There are an increasing num-
ber of border incidents and a
sharp decrease in any diplomatic
exchanges except insults.
Seven months ago. Premier Tito
said he would turn to the West to
obtain defense weapons only if
the threat of attack grew more
serious. Yugoslavia is negotiating
for them now.
Moscow
EDDY GMMORE-The years
developments have brought the
possibility of war nearer. Note
the use of the word possibility" :"
for many persons in Moscow will
argue that war itself is no nearer
than it was in June, 1850. But
the possibilities of its breaking out
are more widespread.
The Soviets have constantly de-
nounced both American actions
in the Korean conflict and the
North Atlantic alliance, the lat
ter setting up American bases
abroad. The Soviet press sees
these moves as aimed at starting
a third world war.
But it is doubtful if one could
find many Muscovites who would
say that war is nearer today than
it was year ago. The overall
foreigner gets mere
is that war is not inevitable. The
people here seem convinced that
some formula of agreement or
some other great development is
due.
New Delhi
HAROLD K. MILKS - India
feels officially that developments
of the last IL months have made
the possibility of a third world
war more remote-unless the
United Nations decide to attack
the Chinese mainland over Korea.
AS viewed here, that would bring
Soviet Russia into conflict with
the West.
Most Indian officials tend to
place on Western powers, rather
than on Russia. the onus for any
action which might cause war.
Prime Minister Nehru alone
molds official opinion in India.
Associates say he has not changed
his viewpoint since he told Par
lament in March: "On the whole,
tension, or the prospect of a
world war. has rather receded." !"
Hong Kong
FRED HAMPSON-The Chi
neSe, especially non-Communist
Chinese. feel that third world
war is nearer. That is partly
wishful thinking, for the nom
Communists are convinced Chi
nese communism can be over
thrown only from the outside.
The Chinese Reds propaganda,
troop dispositions and drastic
domestic controls indicate they
seem to expect war, too. But
most foreigners in this section of
the Far East. especially the Brit
ish, feel Korea has lessened the
danger of general war at an early
date. Most Americans share that
view.
Korea has brought one important
revelation: That the Chinese Reds
machine is not the ALL
powerful thing they thought it
was.
