Talk on Swedes' Role

The deep independent news

Erik Bohemian had been sum-

The paper said the reason was
to further peace negotiations.
The Swedish Embassy here, how
ever, discounted the Importance
of Mr.. Boheman's trip.
The envoy left the United
States March 20, after the first
Russian peace overtures but be-
fore the approval by the United
Nations Security Council of Swe-
den's Dag Hammarskjold as
U. N. secretary general.

a Russian proposal to restore to

I United States officials are still
awaiting proof in positive action
that Soviet leaders are willing
to make good on their words.
Ending the Korean war on terms
acceptable to the U. N. may be
the acid test.
Meanwhile. officials concerned
with possible Soviet motives say
two evident purposes stand out: /:
l. The Malenkov government
can see that Communist use or
threats of force since World
War II have built up enormous
counter-forces in the United
States and allied countries. To
reverse this process. their new
tactic is to switch over to easing
tensions.
2. The Malenkov government,
being new and having no sub
stitute for the prestige and per-
sonality Of the late Josef Stain,
needs to consolidate it's political
position within the Soviet en-
pire and hopes to advance this
process by creating an atmos-
phere more peaceful than that
which it inherited.
Denies Losing Initiative.
The State Department rejects
the very idea that Russia has
taken the initiative in trying to
settle the Korean war.
Lincoln White, department
press officer. said "I'll be damned
If I can see" how the new
Soviet maneuvers amount to
any more than steps toward ac-
ceptance of proposals this Ma
ton has been pushing for years.
Mr.. White was asked at a news
conference yesterday whether the
Soviet peace maneuvers-includ-
ing the proposal for resuming
truce talks in Korea-constitute
Soviet seizure of the initiative in
the cold war.
Let's look at the record, Mr..
White retorted. What about
Korea?" he asked heatedly. MY
God, our people have been out
there for almost two years try
ing to get a just, humanitarian
settlement.
What about Germany? We
have been trying for years to
get a solution of that problem.
The same is true of the Austrian
problem. lend lease and many
others.
IF they finally come along
and indicate they are willing to
consider acceptance of what we
have been putting up for years,

that is Russian initiative"

at the second anniversary OF
SHAPE, his headquarters here

Soviet Russia has increased and
continues to increase" her mill
tary capacity.
Then Gen. 'Ridgway made a
strong appeal to the Western
allies to bring West German
troops into the defense of the
4,000-mile West European front.
For the defense of this vast
region" he said, lone significant
contribution-the participation
of Germany-is still as yet
withheld.
Asks Treaty Ratification.
ST would welcome this addi-
tional military potential. A West
ern German contribution would
not only strengthen the whole
edifice of Allied Command Eu-
rope, it would tighten propor=
tionally the burden OF the cost
of this defense"
Gen. Ridgway, in effect, thus
called on six West European
parliaments to ratify the highly
controversial European army
treaty, which would put some
two million troops into one uni
form and under one command.
The treaty would bring West
German troops into the west
Europe defense buildup against
possible Soviet aggression.
Only the West German lower
house has so faf approved the
treaty. France. Belgium. Hol-
land, Italy and Luxembourg have
not yet doae so.
Of an attack on West Europe,
Gen. Ridgway declared:
"At the moment. the forces
at our disposal would prove
gravely inadequate If put to the
test. We would enter battle un-
der grave handicaps. We would
sustain heavy losses of h1e and
of arms, both of which could be
greatly lessened by timely action
now"
May Require Sacrifices.
Gen. Ridgway said he had no
intention to match Russia plane
for plane and division for dlv1-
SION" But he added:
"The duty of our governments
is crystal clear. 1t is to provide
the requisite military strength
for the accomplishment OF
the mission these governments
themselves have assigned us and
to do so at the earliest prac-
ticable moment. even at the pos
sible cost of temporary curtail-
ment of some of our material
well-being."
Troops of II of the IA NATO
nations took part in the ami
yersary ceremony here. Iceland
has no army and Norway and
Turkey are not represented by
