The creation of a German

a European army was conSid-

first constructive step toward
a united Western Europe. It
looks now as If this will not

Our Government feels that
it is in no position to force the

visited Paris and warned our
allies that unless the EDO

fore the end of April there
might not be any MSA funds
for the 1854 fiscal year.
Mr.. Dulles warning went

Lowell MeHett:

If any one had any doubt
concerning the wisdom Of the
Governments water power
policy during the past 20 years
he could have been convinced
by President EiSenhower's elo-
quent speech on Thursday
dedicating Garrison Dam in
North Dakota. It was the Pres
ident at his human and imag-
NATIVE best. He was discussing
something with which he had
had personal experience, for as
q boy he had seen the great
flood Of 1903 in the Kansas
Valley.
Certainly" he said, "the
last thing that would have oc-
CURED to us living in the midst
of that flood was that man
would ever have the temerity
to try to harness the Big
Muddy"
Garrison Dam does just that
OF the point where it is located.
Now" said the President,
"when we think Of how far
man has come in those so
years 1t is almost frightening
to project our minds so years
in advance. And so I want to
address myself first to those
doubterS who say, What can
be the use Of this enormous
structure with it's % million
acre-feet of water stored be-
hind it, with all Of the dreams
that people have had who de-
signed it, or for its use in
food control, irrigation, regu-
lating navigation farther down
river and for the uses of the
power?'"
Already, he pointed out,
there have been more requests
Tor the power from Garrison
Dam than it is expected to
produce.

Of the immediate uses, think
of what it is going to mean

similar occasion and in some

the unity of the Reich could
easily be achieved if they only
would play along with the
U. S. S. r.
The reported gesture for an
improvement of Soviet Turk
ish relations by withdrawal Of
Dardanelles demands is more
academic and intended to i'm
press the peoples Of the Near
and Middle East rather than
the Turks themselves. The
Turks are staunch allies and
never go back on their word.
Moreover, they know the Rus
slams, regardless of whether
they are under Czarist domi-
nation or the present Commu-
mist tyranny.
Turkey is ready to be a good
neighbor on condition that she
has the wherewithal to resist
any sudden treachery. But the
peoples in the Middle East who
in the past have implicitly
trusted the United States now
have come to suspect us as
"pacemakerS for British i'm
perialism. They know what
communism stands for. Their
loss of faith in America rem
ders them less fearful of Mos
COW.
The Kremlin's reported but
still-unconfirmed gesture to-
ward the Ankara government
is doubtless aimed at demon
strating to the Moslems from
Egypt to Pakistan that Russia
has friendly intentions. It
also is probably intended as an
admission that the past mis-
understandings with Turkey
were a mistake which the new
regime in Moscow is ready to
repair.
It will take some time-sev-
eral months probably-before
the U. S. S. r. can gauge the
effect of its maneuvers in Ger
many and Turkey. The Krem-
lin leaders want to sit at a
four-power conference with as
many trump cards up their
sleeves as possible. Hence the
informal suggestion to Mr..
Churchill not to press for an

Russia Wants to Confer Later

Moscow is said to have re-

it to London - that the
q. S. S. r. is not quite ready
yet to attend q four-power

Winston Churchill is ex-
pected to merely explore at
the Bermuda talks the idea of
a meeting with the U. S. S. R.,
probably in Vienna, without
pressing for an immediate
answer.
The reason which has
prompted the Russians to hint
that they are not yet ready
to sit at a conference table
can only be conjectured.
The u. S. S. r. is engaged
these days in a vast campaign

a strong military potential,
such as Germany, or are fully
