Dorothy Thompson:

If Georgi Malenkov is hon.
estly concerned with reaching
a modus vivendi with the West,
he must mourn the Moscow %
initiated overthrow Of the
Benes government in 1948.
That was the crucial test Of
the sincerity Of Stains Oft
repeated theory of "co-exist-
ence."
Eduard Benes was the very
incorporation of "co-exist-
ence." Uniquely among world
statesmen, he saw his country
as bridge and mediator be-
tween East and West, basing
Czechoslovakia's entire post
war policy on that position,
and supported in it by his for
eign minister, Jan Masaryk.
When Moscow's henchmen
usurped the republic, they also
overthrew the doctrine Of CO.
existence.
When the dying President
Benes, paralyzed by the ex-
haustion of his disease, ratified
the reality of the seizure Of
power, he signed the death
warrant of co-existence.
When Jan MaSaryk, refusing
to the last the demand that
he remain in Office to camou-
flage, with his international
reputation, the true character
of the new regime, leaped or
was pushed to his death, CO.
existence died with him.
This is the fundamental
historic significance Of the
Communist usurpa tion In
Prague. BY that act Moscow
nakedly opened the cold war.
BY that act Moscow announced
with utmost clarity that CO.
existence was a fostered delu-
sion to pave the way to con-
quest.

that she doubted If it would
be wise or right for this country
to accept the social and
economic sections in the form
they were assuming. She had
hoped that the civil and po-
litical sections could be ap-
proved even II it meant a fight
with the civil-rights-conscious
South. Whatever the result, she
thought such q fight would be
worth making as sound inter-
national politics.
Benjamin v. Cohen, the bril-
liant lawyer who was an
original Roosevelt brain truster
and has served in the United
Nations, said a year ago he
thought it is q mistake to put
so much emphasis on the
covenant when the Assembly
had adopted a Declaration on
Human Rights. He also felt
the covenant discussions were
degenerating into a political
cold war without due regard
for the basic idea.
The Eisenhower admins
tration has turned its back on
many such people. They are
not popular with Senator
Bricker, true, but they are not
summer soldiers in the fight
for freedom and their conf
dence Is almost an essential
in q true bipartisan foreign
policy.
What must be of immediate
personal concern to the Eisen-
hover administration Is the
question: What now for Mrs.
Oswald Lord, Mrs. Roosevelt's
successor as United States
representative on the Human
Rights Commission?
Mrs. Lord knew that the
administration would take its
present position. With more
experience she might have
been able to fight for q delay
in announcing it until she
got her bearings and won
some measure Of confidence in
herself.
Her job was already hard
enough since she follows Mrs.
Roosevelt. It now looks inn
possible to many veterans OF
international negotiation.

Adenouer's Appreciation Real
But the Answers to His Prayers for European Federation
Are Not to Be Found in\Noshnqton, but in Paris

Talks by President Eisen-
hover. Secretary of State
Dulles and Germany's Chan.
cellor Konrad Adenauer have
started in an unprecedented
atmosphere of cordiality.
Herr Adenauer'S gratitude
for what this country has done
to help the people of Western
Germany become once more
highly useful members of the
community Of free nations is
genuine. The deeply religious
German political leader is not
given to flamboyant oratory.
He already has expressed in
simple words the gratitude Of
his government for the 81 bill
lion we have advanced to the
German republic and intends
to ask for no further financial
help. These 81 billion have
been put to excellent use. Ger
many is today more prosperous
and stable than any Of our
Western allies.
The main topic of discus
sion between the representa-
tiveS of our Government and
the Chancellor is more related
to the overall European prob
lem, and its relationship to the
present Red peace offensive,
than to the republics own
immediate domestic problems
such as the millions of refu-
gees from Eastern Germany.
The idealistic German Chan
cellor will plead strongly for
our help to create the dream
of his life-a federation Of
Western Europe. He will find
the warmeSt response in this
country. But unfortunately,
the answer to his prayers is to
be found not in Washington
but in Paris. Herr Adenauer
is convinced that if a POLITICAL
economic unity could be
brought about, the West need
fear neither a Red aggression
nor major crises within the
camp of the Western nations.

state Moscow could invoke
some shadow of an excuse for
the necessity Of Communist
governments. No Poles, Hun
garianS, or RomanianS except
the Communists trusted Russia.
But the Benes-M s-Masaryk gov
ernment did. Benes, though
loyal to Western political ira
dition, had drunk, with the
Munich agreement, the bitter
unreality of Western military
support in a showdown with a
powerful neighbor. But Benes
still believed in the civilization
Of the West.
When the Russo German
war began, Benes alone among
European statesmen never
doubted a Russian victory. He
foresaw what RuSsia's power
position would be after the
war-that it would not be pos
Sible for a small state to live in
central Europe and pretend
that Russia did not exist. He
foresaw that Russian armies
would penetrate Czechoslo-
vakia and wanted to clarity
his fcountry's position before
that happened.
Therefore, before the war
was over, he went to Moscow.
