Adenouer Must Watch His Step
Many Germans Viewing the Peace Contracts With the West
Wonder If q Better Bargain Could Be Struck With Russia

The baron works quietly in
Western Germany. He. is said
to counsel caution in dealing
with Moscow. But he urges even
more caution in dealing with
the suspicious French. the
trade jealous British and the
politically immature" Ameri-
cans. He points out to the poll
ticians who call on him that if
the French were really thinking
in terms of European Fedora
ton they would not have at
tempted to seize the Saar. And
the Saar is more than ever one
of the most sensitive questions
in German French relationships.
The influence of this elder
diplomat may be limited but it
is felt. Even those who disagree
with him use his argument for
their own personal political
aims. DR.. Adenauer realizes that
the resistance to the peace con-
tract and the European defense
treaty is stronger than he ex-
pected. He welcomes an oppor-
tunity not to put the tenure Of
his office to the test, at least
until the political skies have
cleared in the United States.

Constantine Brown:

Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
must step gingerly as far as
the ratification of the German
peace contract and the Euro
pean Army treaty is concerned.
But like all heads of govern
ments in Western Europe, he is
likely to ascribe the delay to
political developments in Ameri-
ca. No important political de-
cisions are expected to be made
in Europe-unless Moscow forces
some iSsues-until after our
November election.
The German chancellor knows
the temper of his people is un-
certain and that Of the political
parties even more so. The peace
contract has not been received
with anything approaching en-
thusiasm by the West Germans.
There is no particular worry
about real aggreSsiveness on the
part of the Kremlin. The pop
ulation in the Western Republic
still wonders whether a better
bargain could not be struck with
the U. S. S. r. The slogan on
recent German posters saying
"StaliniSm has no allies but only
victims" has made only a lin
tied impression on the West
Germans.
An interview given by Senator
Taft to the German Press
Agency was widely displayed.
Senator Taft said he and his
followers were more sympathet-
ic to the Germans than the
Truman administration and
criticized all those points Of
Allied policy which remain Ger
man grievances. beginning with
unconditional surrender. He said
he would have rearmed the Ger
mans long ago if he had had the
power. This interview may have
helped some to encourage the
Bonn Republic people that there
is more good will towards them
in America than in the Western
European nations. But appar-
emily it was not enough to Off
set the elaborate Muscovite
propaganda which urges the
Germans not to be in a hurry
and to reflect before they join
irrevocably with the West. The
West Germans are exhorted to
think well whether a real unity
Of the Reich and all the eco
nomic advantage the U. S. S. r.
can offer are not preferable to a
commitment with the other side.
The chief spokesman for a
united and neutral Reich" is
one of Germany's ablest diplo-
mats, Baron Rudolf Nadolny.
He was in the foreign service in
the days of the Kaiser and of
the Weimar Republic. When
Hitler took over, the Baron was
ambassador to Moscow. He re-
tired at his own request. But

Portisonship Knows No Borders
The Party in Power Must Have the Peoples Confidence
Before Foctionolsn Con Be Reduced to Any Extent

The converse of this is also
true. Once the American people
pick a President who is popu-
lar, who has public confidence
and who is really accepted as
leader, they will follow him un-
equivocally on international
policy. They have done SO at
critical times in our history
as in 1917-because the issues
of domestic politics are clearly
divorced from international
questions.
The American experience in
the last few years of the post
war era has underscored the
danger Of retaining in power
any executive who has lost his
majority in the National legis-
lature. If America had had a
system that would have per-
mitted the resignation of Harry
Truman. the moment he lost
his majority in Congress-just
as is the custom in parliament
tary governments abroad-there
would have been a different
story to tell about the inter-
national policy of the United
States in recent years. The
American people would have
been more united in support of
foreign policy. the outside world
particularly the governments
in Europe and Asia-would have
been more amenable to Amer
lean leadership. and there would
have been more progress.
How can unity be achieved
now? If the American people
elect a Republican or a Demo-
crat who is basically antagonis-
tic to cooperation with Europe,
the diSintegration of European
free governments may be ex-
pected to follow and the world
will face a serious crisis in two
or three years, rendering futile
much of the aid heretofore
given. If, on the other hand,
the American people elect a Re-
publican or Democrat whose
heart is set on preserving peace
in the world by following, at

danger of a Stain victory in

can people can have confidence

more to fight in Europe, which
will happen again If American
power and influence are not ex-

ment when such power and in

or preventive of a world war.
What American politicians failed
to do for the world in the 1920's
by blind opposition to the League
of Nations-the symbol then of
American-European co-opera-
tion-Sowed the seeds of a war
that came in 1889, and what
American politicians may fail to
do in the 1950's can bring a
third world war before the end

David Lawrence:

Resuming analysis Of the Ma
tional political situation after a
brief absence in Europe. there
comes to this correspondent a
thought which has haunted him
ever since World War I began
to affect American political
trends in July, 1914.
Why is it, the query runs. that
in anything so highly inf1am-
mable as an international situ-
ation-in which it used to be
said that "partisanship stops at
the waters edge"-there is
nevertheless such a high degree
of partisanship and factional-
ism? Nor is this question to be
asked only in America-it is a
question one asks as well in
every country in Europe where
there is a free government.
The answer, so far as the
United States Is concerned, may
be found in domestic rather
than in foreign issues. Partisan
ship in international questions
is reduced considerably only
when there is confidence in the
leadership Of the party in
power on domestic issues, which
are more familiar and better un-
derStood. The progress of the
world toward peace hangs to-
day on American policy-as it
has ever since 1945. But where
the people lose confidence in the
incumbent administration on
domestic issues. there is a
tendency to lose confidence in
the handling of foreign affairs
by the same administration.
Foreign policy in the United
States is a football of national
politics primarily because Of the
ineptitude, if not sheer incom-
petence and stubborn indexibil-
ity, of President Truman in
domestic affairs. II the people
think their President will stop
at nothing to gain political ends
in domestic affairs, how can
they fail to listen to the anti
administration speakers when
they find flaws in the handling
Of American policy in Asia and
IN Europe?

Doris Feesor
Showing Us How It's Done
The American People Are in for Good Revealing Look
At How the Leaders Propose to Nominate President

But evaporation or no, most
Democrats will take Stevenson
and be glad to get him.
A factor in the situation that
might develop colorfully is the
Ill feeling known to exist be-
tween Gov. Stevenson and SEN
ator Douglas. a Kefauver sup
porter. Senator Douglas had to
be restrained from coming out
for Kefauver even before Ste
venson showed reluctance.
In an emotional convention,
the Senator from Illinois, who
is emotional by nature, might
be moved to pick up the Ke-
fauver standard and try to
carry it himself. He has none
of the Kefauver liabilities and
is very popular with all Sec
tions Of his party. including the
South.
President Truman could be
Evening star., 1952-06-23
Doris FIeeson:

Between them, Gen. EiSen-
hover and Senator Kefauver
are about to give the American
people a really good look at
how Presidents are nominated.
It Is late but the General has
finally gotten on his horse and
ridden off to warn his followers
that the Taft steamroller is
coming. Although Senator
Taft, appearing relaxed and su-
premely confident, is acting as
if it were all over, the mathe-
matics of the situation does
not bear him out; nor is politics
an exact science.
The Senator has produced still
another soporific for the opposi-
ton in his bland statement
that the Taft and Eisenhower
foreign policy positions are not
so very different and can be
reconciled in a little verbal
sleight Of hand by John Foster
Dulles.
OF course it is possible to
produce a foreign policy plank
so general in its terms it would
mean little. A plank Slickly car
pentered to make it appear that
Taft and Eisenhower are both
right would render the English
language meaningless.
Worse, it would be q fraud,
removing the whole moral basis
Of the Eisenhower campaign.
Were Senator Taft not identi-
fled with positions termed isola-
zionist in the thirties, Gen.
Eisenhower could not have been
induced to run for the Presi-
dency.
In this connection it is being
recalled that Gen. Eisenhower's
campaign manager, Senator
Lodge Of Massachusetts,, re-
ceived major credit for the 1948
G. o. p. plank on foreign policy
and exulted over the fact that
1t removed the isolationist label
from the party. He Is unlikely
to countenance looking back
ward from 1t.
Among the Democrats, Sena.
tor Kefauver and his manager,
Gael Sullivan, have deliberately
decided to show just how the
pivotal State leaders propose to
award the Democratic nomina-
ton. Few realists will quarrel
with their contention that q
draft of Gov. Stevenson is in
prospect.
Mr.. Sullivan's charges repre-
sent an admission on his part
that his candidate has not been
able to overcome the opposition
of the big city leaders who con-
troll large blocs of delegates.
They don't want the Senator
4IOu1 4CI1uCSOCC UCCduSC IlC
messed around in their pre-
cinctS; in his equivocal record
on civil rights they have q plau-
Sible argument that he cannot
carry the vital minorities in
their States with him.
Mr.. Sullivan apparently is
hoping that a lusty ft-Eisen-
hover battle in Chicago will
create a people versus bosses
mood which will carry over to
the Democratic convention in
the same place two weeks later
Against his hopes is the fact
that by and large, these Demo-
cratic big city leaders have al
ways agreed to candidates who
do appeal to their people. In
his favor is the continued silence
of Gov. Stevenson which is be-
ginning to exaSperate many
people who want to be for him.

between 1889 and 1912 he was
Hitler's trouble shooter in the
Balkans, where he did some eX-
cellent jobs. After the collapse
of the Nazis he remained in
East Prussia. The Kremlin knew
him for a strong follower of the
Bismarck policy of collaboration
between Germany and Russia.
Baron Nadolny became politi-
cal adviser to what used to be
known as the Free German
Movements military organ
ization created after the Stalin-
grad defeat and headed by
Field Marshal Paulus. When it
was replaced by the East Ger
man puppet government. the
baron remained a favorite of
the Kremlin, although he never
was a Communist. He moved
eventually to Dusseldorf in
West Germany where he met
old cronies. Baron Nadolny is
not in the pay of the Kremlin.
He merely believes strongly that
the future of the fatherland
lies in a close cooperation with
the u. S. s. r. and not with the
Western Allies whom he criti-
cizes not only as having been
shortSighted in their approach
to the German problem but as
far more fearful and jealous Of
an eventual German resurrec-
ton than the Russians. The old
ambassador has a reputation
among Germans as better quail
flied to see things clearly than
many of the present political
leaders.
