ing is a flop? This can be
camouflaged for the sake of
the American public by a skill
fully worded official communi-
que which says much and
means little. Remember how
well your public reacted to
the Teheran and Yalta con-
ferenceS which were held in
secret without swarms of
American reporters. In the
event of failure we can al
ways resort to official COM
muniques and photographs
showing Malenkov and Molo-
tov cordially shaking hands
with the Western represen-
tatives. Then, later we can
start afresh."
But it is this particular
make-believe which the pres
ent administration apparently
wants to avoid. President
Eisenhower and Mr.. Dulles
realize the implications of
such a bluff. Under present
domestic conditions a "diplo-
matte" deception of the Ameri-
can people would result in two
major economy measures which
would play into the hands of
the Reds: ID The military
assistance program for Europe
and Asia would be cut off i'm
mediately by Congress; and
co the national defense ap-
preparation would be substan-
TALLY reduced.
But there is another reason
why Mr.. Dulles, more than
anybody else in the Govern
ment, wants to avoid nice
pictures showing Mr.. Malenkov
fraternizing with Gen. Eisen-
hover and Mr.. Molotov ogling
our Secretary of State. During
the 1852 electoral campaign
these two top Republican
spokesmen told the country in
no uncertain terms that the
American Government would
strive to liberate the enslaved
nations behind the Iron Cur
tain by every conceivable
means short of war.
Since the Republicans took
Office, only vague whispers of
these once powerful words have
been heard. And these whiS-
pers were so faint that one had
to strain the ears to hear them.
There were some deep diplo-

matte reasons why only the
radio and particularly the un-
official Free European broad
casters spoke about the manly
words of our top leaders. The
campaign speeches caused such
a political furor in Britain and
France that the speakers were
Immediately described as war;
mongers who wanted to plunge
Europe into a blood bath for
the sake of the Poles and
CzechS.
There is a fundamental
difference of concept between
us and our Western European
allies regarding these en-
Slaved peoples. We believe
that they were sold down the
river by the very nations which
fought the last war for their
sake. The British and French
admit that in principle we are
correct. But most of these en-
slaved peoples in central and
eastern Europe. they say, were
under foreign yokeS for CEN
turies until the end of the first
World War. Consequently,
they say, there should be no
particular hurry to liberate
these people if such efforts
would further ALLEVIATE the
us. S. r. Let nature take its
course" we are being told deli
cately, land in 20, 30 or so
years everything will work out
to everybody's satisfaction"
For reasons Of high diplo-
macy, the administration is
not pressing openly the ques-
ton of liberating these nations.
But the thought of helping
them has not been abandoned.

ment official discussing the ef-

Malenkov said:

peoples that once more they
had been sold down the river,

tory for the Kremlin and q
devastating defeat for u.s."

Constontine Brown
y. S. to Be Wary at Bermuda
Eisenhower and Dulles Know Our Allies Chief Aim
IS to Press for Hieh-LeveI Conference With Reds
Constontine Brown

To say that President Eisen-
hover and Secretary of State
Dulles will attend the Bermuda
conference with easy hearts
would be to push wishful
thinking to unwarranted op-
timiSrn.
Secretary Dulles, possibly
more than his chief in the
White House, knows that the
underlying motif of this gath
ering is less the strengthening
of the political military Coop
Grafton of the Western powers
than to induce the United
States to attend a four power
conference.
The Chief Executive and his
Secretary of State have re-
sisted successfully heretofore
these British French efforts.
They have never rejected a
high-level conference with the
representatives of the Krem-
lin. But they have insisted
that this cannot be a hit-and-
miss affair. eve must know
where we stand" was the in
variable reply the State De-
partment gave to all the urg-
ings from London.
In order to achieve this
objective, we have demanded
a definite agenda. We want
to discuss in an initial Big
Four meeting only subjects
pertaining to the ending of
the cold war in Europe. We
also have insisted that the
U. S. S. r. must first give
the free world some tangible
evidence of good will and
earnest tokens of her desire
to live in keeping with the
golden rules of the United
Nations charter.
To this our allies have re-
piled something like this:
"Why be SO particular? It is
always best at such gath
erings to pretend at least
that everybody trusts every
body else. Furthermore, the
more fronts we can cover the
better the chances of sue
cess in at least one particular
direction. We may have to
give up something in the Far
East, in order to gain from
the Reds something in West
ern Europe. Why not? And

Gouzenko Fiosco Unfortunate
Jenners Demand for Unlimited Access EEmbossy Clerk
Held Regrettobe Blow to Relations With Canada

The goal of tracking down
international Communists has
not been served by Senator
Jenner's attempt to subpoena,
as it were, the citizen Of
another state.
Canada is as concerned to
Illustrate Communist espion-
age as is the United States.
When, in 1945, Mr.. Gouzenko,
a Soviet embassy code clerk,
unsolicited by anyone, decided
to tell what he knew about a
spy ring operating in Canada,
he helped the Canadian gov
ernment do the greatest un-
covering job performed to that
date in North America. The
proceedings of the trial were
fully published afterward in
the famous Blue Book"
There is close and continuous
liaison between the FBI and
similar bureaus of the Royal
Canadian Mounted Police;
Investigations are conducted
secretly. Publicity normally
comes only when Investigations
result in an indictment.
Mr.. Gouzenko, now a Ca
madam citizen, lives in an un-
disclosed place, under an as
sumed name. He depends upon
the Canadian government for
his protection. Soviet officials
who disclose Soviet secrets
take their lives in their hands.
The long arm of Communist
justice" has delivered it's SEN
tences, often years after an
event, and in places scattered
all over the globe.
If the FBI wished to inter-
view Mr.. Gouzenko, confident
tally, in the possibility that he
might throw further light on
persons under inquiry, that
undoubtedly could have been
arranged.

testimony before the Senate
committee that the plan was
entirely his own, and not that
of any of his superiors in the
State Department or of any
one in the Central Intelligence
Agency.
The New York Times dis
patch continues:
while this information
concerning the use of some
Communists as counter -eSpi-
onage agents. still was classi-
fed as top secret. and Mr..
Davies was not permitted to
let it be known that the Cen
trail Intelligence Agency was
using some Communists as
counter-espionage agents, Mr..
Davies was asked about this
and said he knew. nothing
about it. Later Undersecretary
Smith allowed Mr.. Davies to
discuss the espionage plan and
he did so in McCarthy's pres
ence."
None of the foregoing state
ments is accurate. Mr.. Davies
testified on August 8 and
August 10, 1851, before Senator
McCarran and two members
of his staff. Senator Mccarthy
was not a member of the COM
mittee and was not present.
Mr.. Davies talked at length to
the committee about the plan
he had proposed to the Central
Intelligence Agency at a con-
ference he had had with two
CIA off1cials-Lyle Munson
and Edward Hunter-on No
vember Is, 1949. Both Mr..
MunSon and Mr.. Hunter under
oath contradicted Mr.. Davies,
and said they did not get
any impression that the Com
munists were to be used as
counter-espionage agents, but
that the Communists were to
prepare materials" for the
policy guidance of the Central
Intelligence Agency.
Seven discrepancies between
the testimony of the two CIA
officials and Mr.. Davies caused
Senator McCarran on February
81, 1852. to request the De-
partment of Justice to present
the evidence to a grand jury
for a perjury indictment
agaist Mr.. Davies. The Davies
testimony of 1851, and some of
the sworn statements of the
CIA officials made at that
time, were made public early
this year by the Senate In
ternal Security Committee.
The testimony of Admiral Hill
lenkoetter, corroborating in
general the statements of Mr..
MunSon and Mr.. Hunter, has
never been made public.
When Gen. Smith - who
previously had served as chief
of staff to Gen. Eisenhower
in Europe and then became
Ambassador to Moscow, where
Mr.. Davies was a member of
the embassy Staff-was up
for confirmation as Undersec-
retary of State, he testified
publicly on February 4, 1858,
before the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee. Several
Senators asked him about the
Davies case. He stated that
the episode had occurred be-
fore he took the dictatorship
of the CIA, and that his i'm
preSSions were gained from
such records as were available,
and that he had not talked

What former President Tru-
man could truthfully have add
ed to his Chicago statement
that he had no more to say
about the White case was that
he was waiting for his Attor-
pey General at the time, Tom
Clark, to speak up. Mr.. Tru-
man later appointed Mr.. Clark
to the Supreme Court from
which privileged sanctuary the
justice has shown no inclina-
ton to venture forth.
Mr.. Truman built his defense
in the White case upon con-
ferences and decisions reached
with cabinet members who
were intimately concerned, es-
pecially the late Chief Justice
Vinson, who as Secretary of
the Treasury was Whites i'm
mediate superior, and Justice
Clark. under whom the FBI
then functioned. Mr.. Vinson
could not help him though his
records did.
Both Justice Clark's recollec-
tionS and records were checked

But the remarkable position
taken by Senator -Jenner. and
conveyed to the Canadian For
eign Secretary by Mr.. Dulles, is
that committee of the United
States Senate has a right Of
access to Mr.. Gouzenko, with
no strings attached to the use
made of whatever testimony
he may disclose.
editors note: Mr.. Dulles
subsequently concurred with
the restrictions of the Cana
dian government on American
use of the testimony
The Canadian government
did not categorically refuse the
Jenner request. The Canadian
minister for external affairs
only specified that the inter-
view be conducted under Ca
madam auspices and proce-
dureS and that the Canadian
government reserve a veto on

The Canadian governments
position is entirely proper.
Canada is a sovereign state.
Canadian law and procedures
are not the same as those in

though Mr.. Gouzenko is free

improper for any American to
seek his cooperation in cir

Dovid LoWrence

The American people, from
coast to coast, were given on
Thursday last by the Associ-
ated Press a dispatch quoting
extensively from an article by
a New York Times correspond
ent here. accusing Senator Nc
Carthy of having distorted"
the facts in the case of John
Patton Davies. The Senator
during his televiSion-radio
speech two days before had
said that Mr.. Davies, while in
the State Department under
the last administration, rec
commended the use of some
known Communist agents to
be q part of the Central Intel
lgence Agency operations, and
was nevertheless still a Gov
ernment official under the Eli
senhower administration.
The New York Times writer,
who said he was rejecting the
views of unnamed top White
House staff members" attrib-
uted to those White House
staff members the following
point about the Davies case:
"He (McCarthy) distorted
the John Patton Davies case,
although he knew the facts in
that case as well as did Un-
dersecretary of State w. Be-
dell Smith, who gave them to
him under OATH"
Now it so happens that Gen.
Smith never testified at any
time on the Davies case before
any committee of which the
Wisconsin Senator was a men,
Der, or at any time when he
was present. Both UnderSec-
retary of State Smith and Sen
ator Mccarthy have confirmed
this categorical statement of
fact.
The New York Times dis
patch says that Senators Nc
Carthy and McCarran had
charged that Mr.. Davies "rec-
commended putting Commu-
nists in key spots in the Gen.
trail Intelligence Agency, and
Undersecretary of State Smith
finally went before them and
declaSsified some top-secret
information to set this charge
straight"
The facts are that the only
testimony on the Davies case
given by Mr.. Smith before
the Senate Committee on In
ternal Security has never been
"declasSif1ed" or released for
publication, and Senator Nc
Carthy was not a member of
that committee The New York
Times dispatch continues:
HE (Mr. Smith, told them
(the committee) that a deci-
sion had been taken to use
some Communists as counter
espionage agents and that Mr..
Davies had been asked to rec
ommend several men who
might handle the job"
This statement is wholly
untrue. Mr.. Smith was not the
head of Central Intelligence
when the episode happened,
and Admiral Hillenkoetter,
who was the head of it, testi-
fed before the Senate Internal
Security Committee that he
had completely rejected the
proposed plan after consulting
with the Federal Bureau of
Investigation. There was never
any decision" to use the
Communist agents, and Mr..
Davies himself admitted in
