Good News From East Europe
Chances for Alliance Among Three Traditional Enemies
Tito Greece and Turkey-Gve Cheer to SHAPE
Constantine Brown:

To what extent the heads of
Western Europe a n govern
ments will respond to the in
augural exhortation of Presi-
dent Eisenhower that they
"strive with renewed vigor to
make the unity of their peo-
Piles a reality" is still a matter
of guess. But the considered
opinion of those who have
watched the developments of
the last year is that it will
take more than the inspired
sincerity of our new Presi-
dents words to mend the
breach between France and
Germany, which has become
more apparent since Premier
Rene Mayer decided that the
European Defense Community
treaty needed some drastic
overhauling.
But while the outlook in
Western Europe is still gloomy,
American military men and
diplomats are cheered by the
good prospects of a new re-
gional alliance among Yugo-
Slavia, Greece and Turkey.
These three countries in the
past have been as traditionally
suspicious of each other as
France and Germany. Yet,
confronted with a problem of
self defense against the Mus
covite threat, they have de-
cided. to bury the hatchet and
coordinate their efforts.
The forces Of these three
Southeastern European coun-
tries. judged by the standards
existing in the West, are i'm
posing. Together they have at
this time some 46 battle-ready
divisions, compared with half
