Dulles Prod in Behalf Of NATO
Secretorys Brutal Speech in Paris Seen as Serving
To CIorify Present Confused Situotion in Europe

with authoritative voices not
only suggested the EDO but
actually signed it in the name
of the French Republic. They
were never disavoWed openly
by the National Assembly. The
three premierS who sue
ceeded M. Pinay never dis
avowed the pact either. They
just did not have the courage
to bring it before the National
Assembly, because they felt
that they could not get the
necessary votes.
Eighteen months have
elapsed since the EDO treaty
was signed in Paris. The COM
petent bodies in America and
Britain ratified it in 1852. The
German Parliament followed
this year. The French are still
on their launches.
Soon after Mr.. Dulles took
over the direction of our inter-
national affairs he told our
continental European allies,
and especially the French, that
the NATO must become a live
and not a paper military or
ganiZation. He told the men at
the helm in France that we
appreciate their difficulties in
providing the necessary man
power for the Western defense
system. But just because of
that inability to put more men
in uniform it was essential that
a relatively small contingent
of Germans be brought into a
European army under an over
all European-not German
command. Germany's strategic
position is such that her par
ticipation in the Western de-
fense system is a must" which
all responsible French military
men have recognized.
Our Government received
assurances from Paris that as
soon as the political climate in
France permitted 1t, the EDO
treaty would be brought before
the National Assembly. But
that climate has remained
subzero insofar as the treaty
is concerned.
In the meantime, some die
hards in the French Foreign
Office supported by influential
parliamentarians began their

that the SovietS' psychological
warfare is primarily designed

to realize a similarity of aim

psychological warfare of the

But active sales resistance

CoWordice Of odoy's Diplomacy
Why Is Officiodon So Quiet the Kidnapping by Reds
Of Those 944 American Prisoners Of War in Korea?
Dovid lawrence

This is an age of cruel in
difference toward some of
those human beings who go
forth to make the maximum
sacrifice for their country.
The story of the forgotten
944 Americans whom the Chi
nese Communists have re-
fused to return is a tragic
example of how officialdom
shrugs its shoulders and, fear
full of offending allies, does
nothing about the American
boys who were supposed to
have been returned when the
Korean truce was signed.
There are 944 Of them-sep-
arate and distinct from the
90 who have been brain
washed" at the repatriation
camp. These 944 Americans
were spirited away to hiding
places behind the Iron Curtain
because they are technicians
valuable to the Communists.
This happened just before the
truce came.
The Korean truce agreement
pledged that all prisoners
should be returned. The Amer
ican Government knew about
the 944 and still kept on talk
ing at Panmunjom. Now the
talks are tagging and the "po-
litical conference" which was
hailed as the great sequel to
the armistice, is apparently
not to be held-no time or
place for it has been fixed, and
there is no sign that such a
conference will ever be called.
Meanwhile, the United States
Government-which once upon
a time would take drastic
measures to secure respect for
its troopS-now says nothing
and does nothing about the
944 Americans still held by the
Communists in fragrant viola
tion of the armistice terms.

stimulate the notion that the,
Kremlin would want nothing
better than a direct entente"
with France.
1t is true that the three
French governments which
succeeded each other after the
signing of the EDO have done
nothing officially to encourage
this idea. But a large ma
jority of parliamentarians has
become highly interested in
such a solution, which they be-

is listening with infinite atten-
tion to the low words from
Moscow. Warsaw and Prague
that the Russian armies made
victory at the Marne possible
in the First World War; that it
was the same Russian armies
under the red banner who won
single-handedly at Stalingrad,
in the last war. This latter
victory broke the back of the
Hitlerite force and made pos
Sible Frances liberation.
At no time in the last nine
years has the French-Soviet
treaty of alliance been referred,
to more frequently than today.
Mr.. Dulles is a realist when
faced by concrete international
difficulties. He realizes that
a decision must be made by the
French people and their gov
ernment. This decision can be
summed up in a few words:
Either France decides that her
future lies in solidarity with
the West or she believes that
her security and salvation can
come from the U. S. S. r.
In the former case she will
have to ratify the EDO before
spring. In the latter case she
will throw it into discard.

The truth, especially when
expressed with brutal" frank
ness. frequently hurts.
This is the case with Secre-
tary of State Dulles speech at
the NATO meeting in Paris. i.
He publicly and solemnly
warned the French to stop
their delaying tactics on ratifi-
cation of the European De-
fense Community treaty. He
warned that the American
people may lose patience and
revise drastically the military
and economic assistance pro-
grams unless that agreement
is acted on.
Mr.. Dulles was severely crit
icized by the French and to
some extent by the British. He
will unqueStionably be criti-
cized in the United States by
many inveterate Europe first
ers" for lack Of tact and dip
lomatic skill. He may be criti-
cized by others for having
chosen this time to speak
bluntly when a strong flirta-
ton is going on between Mos
COW and Paris.
Ever since Mr.. Dulles as
sumed his duties as Secretary
of State he has urged our
NATO allies to appreciate the
Importance of approaching
the question of creating a real
NATO defense realistically.
But in spite of the hot and
cold showers he applied on
our partners in continental
Europe - and especially on
France-no progress has been
made in that direction.
The European defense pact
is not an American product.
1t was evolved by the Pinay-
Schuman team when those
two able French politicians
were respectively Premier and
Foreign Minister of France.
It is true that French polit-
ical leaders say now that the
Pinay project was merely a
counterpropoSal to the Pen
tagon' demand that Germany
be armed and taken in as a
partner in the European de-
fense system. But this does
not change materially the fact

one off guard with his timing
but his technique was such as
to cast doubt on his capaci-
ties as a negotiator.
The first rule of the delicate
art of mediation and concilia-
ton is never to break off ne
gotiations but keep the cat on
the other fellows back. The
second rule prescribes that if
worse comes to worst and you
can. bear it no longer, be sure
to let the break come on a
substantive issue, never on a
matter of personal privilege.
All this is a commonplace to
the veriest tyros at the busi-
ness.
Ambassador Dean walked
out because the Communists
charged the United States
with perfidy in the matter of
prisoner repatriation. He said
he would not return until the
Communists withdrew those
charges and showed a will
ingness to negotiate.
That he should have grown
weary of Communist insults
is thoroughly understood at
the State Department. Abuse,
insult, tauntS-these are stand
ard weapons in the Red ar
senal. and they can grow very
tiresome, especially in the
grim surroundings of Pan
munjom. But by this time
every negotiator with the Reds
knows that this is what he
must expect.

A long-continued condition
of crisis, however dangerous,
eventually becomes accepted as
normal. Subjected to perpetual
warnings of the direst possi-
bilities-that he, his country,
and his civilization may be
wiped out tomorrow morning
the average citizen CLUES his
attention to the problems of his
personal and private life. Since
no one can live perpetually on
the edge of a nervous break
down, unconscious instinct
cultivates indifference.
Thus, we see extreme politi-
cal tension accompanied by
widespread political apathy.
On the face of it. the present
world situation is more, rather
than less, tense than in the
fateful summer of 1889. But
the intense political specula-
ton and vigor that character
lied the sos is lacking today.
Then. the shock of the great
depression, accompanied as it
was by vast suffering, at least
released ideas. People who felt
that something had to be done
also believed that something
could be done. Proposed rem
edies were as numerous as they
were contradictory, but there
was no disposition to accept
the condition as irremedial or
to take it by an intellectual
lying down.
Today, have observed, even
persons of high intelligence
avert their minds from the
struggle to solve political prob
lens. seemingly without con-
f1dence that events are within
the control Of the human will.
Nor is this apathetic fatal
ism confined to the United
States. It is characteristic of
the whole of Western civiliza-
ton.
Disillusionment has followed
the overkeying up of messianic
expectations. The Second
World War would, it was firmly
believed, issue in "a new and

expect to use the missing pris-
onerS as pawnS-aS a means
of forcing admission Of Red
China into the U. NJ, or the
withdrawal of United Nations
troops from Korea.
This humiliating story is
well known in official circles.
But there is a callousness
nowadays about such things.
The Dulles statement not long
ago, confesSing that it is diff
cult to do the right thing for
America nowadays because our
allies might be offended, was
made apropos criticism that
the European allies were con-
tinuing to trade with the
Communists. One wonders
how long it is going to be be-
fore boys who are drafted are
going to ask if they are to be
sent to battle in "local wars"
and then abandoned. For the
troops that went to Korea were
not permitted to use maximum
power to win the victory, as
recommended by Gen. Mac
Arthur. This was because our
allies did not approve.
With all the enthusiasm
manifested by so many Ameri-
cans for the U. NJ, that or
ganization doesn't seem to care
a bit, either. about the 944
Americans held captive and
forced into slavery while fightS
ing under the United Nations
banner. The families of the
missing Americans do care,
however, and maybe some
other Americans do, too. The
problem of the 944 Americans
cannot be suppressed. It is an
example OF the moral cow
ardice of present-day diplo-
macy in alliances that work
only one way-the sending of
money and supplies to allies
without any reciprocal agree
ment to defend the rights of
American citizens who went
to war in Korea in their behalf.
