Congress is on the brink of
packing up and leaving town
which means that the bottom
will fall out of the Capitals
social life. InaSmuch as the
social life here is extraordinarily
active. that sounds as If the
96 Senators and 433 Repre-
sentativeS have been on a mad
merry-go-around of entertain
ment that would make the
roaring twentieS look like a
practice session.
That isn't exactly the case,
but although a diatribe against
Washington parties occasional
ly emanates from Capitol Hill,
it's probably the lawmakers
around whom most dinners are
planned in Washington. A
legislator doesn't have to lift
a hand to entertain anybody
but the mere thought of how
influential he can be puts a
lot of people into a dither to
entertain him.
Senotor Gets Rush
The average Senator dimes
out three nights a week and
turns down invitations on the
other four. He and/or his wife
may take in three or four
receptions q week out Of q
possible eight or 10 during
the height Of the season. To
do more can be political sui
eide at campaign time, some
think. On the other hand,
Michigan's Senator Homer
Ferguson and his wife make
an effort to go to nearly every
thing they're invited to as
part of the job Of a Washing
ton official couple. AS a mem
Der of the sought-after For

Europe Thanks States

It can be abandoned only at the
peril Of all the countries in
volved. including, very obviously.
the United States.
The hard fact that NATO and
the United States face today is
this:
Despite the progress that has
been made toward finding long
range solutions to the problems
of Europe'S economic and mill
tary independence, Europe is not
now capable of supporting even
the totally inadequate military
force which has been created so
far. Any drastic reduction of the
American aid program would for
all practical purposes mark the
end of NATO's military buildup.
To Europeans, it is entirely
understandable and desirable that
the new administration should
re-examine the European aid
program down to the most minute
detail and improve it in every
possible way. But Europe's prayer
is that the United States will re-
didicate itself with courage and
resolution to the job that still
remains to be done.
Evening star., 1953-05-10

jective. for one thing. has been
clearer than it was in the flrst
place. But the directions and
pace of the program have been
governed by q number Of in
tangible factors.
They have depended, in the
first place. on current estimates
of Russian intentions and capa-
bilities-a question on which
there has been a notable lack
of agreement between military
men and politicians. Today, with
the improvement of NATO's ad-
ministrative machinery. these
arguments have been successfully
removed from the public forum.
But in an atmosphere Of re-
laxing tension and re-emphasis
of economic factors. there is
little reason to believe that mill
tary opinion has abandoned the
idea that Gen. Eisenhower ex-
pressed two short years ago: If
we stretch this job out. we fail"
A second difficulty has been
the strategic need for strength
in certain areas of Europe, re-
gardless of the ability of the
countries concerned to support
that strength. Among the most
striking Impressions left by
tour of NATO countries today is
that the poorest countries are
making the greatest proper
tional military effort. This is
an effort with which the West
can i'll afford to dispense at this
point. But it can be sustained
over the pull only if the prin-
ciple of economic support con-
tinues as a feature of American
foreign policy.
A third factor that has been
hard to assess has been the will
lingness of individual countries
to undertake the armament bur-
dens imposed on them by their
strategic position and by NATO's
slide-rule experts. The effort to
measure NATO's effort in terms
Of cold economical capabilities
has in some cases failed to take
into account historical and po-
litical favors Of equal, If not
greater. Importance.
One Disadvantage.
Finally, from the point of view
of the American taxpayer, the
Mutual Security program which
succeeded the Marshall Plan has
had the disadvantage of no fixed
price tag and no firm time limit.
Until recently, some attempt has
been made at least to provide
measurable and deflnable goals.
There was emphasis on critical
years, and on the number Of di-
visions (however indefinite a
measure of strength the term
division" might be- to meet the
crisis. AS a not-so-long-ago goal,
the hope was held out that the
West might be able to deal with
Russia from "p ositions of
Evening star., 1953-05-10

course Of the last NATO COUNCIL
meeting. The new policy OF not
announcing specific national
force goals was inevitably in
terpreted as an effort to reduce
the pressure of public interest
and the weight of public dis
appointment in the rearmament
effort. Vague statements on the
role of atomic weapons and
strategic" warfare strengthened
the impression that the poll
ticians were looking earnestly
for an easier and less expensive
way out. Above all, American
emphasis on the European de-
fense community and the revival
of German military power
carried the implication that the
United States is growing restive
in its role as the leader and
powerhouse of the common
security effort.
To a large degree, the mood
of NATO today reflects the
growth of political opposition
in the United States to the
American aid program. It is
hard to overestimate the extent
to which our attitude toward
NATO determines the willing
nesss of individual European
countries to assume the burdens
that rearmament places on them.
The opposition in this country
seems to center it's fire on the
complaints that the United
States has been extravagant,
overambitious and overindulgent
in its foreign investments. Re-
Gently, there has been growing
emphasis on a much tougher
American policy-that continued
aid should be made conditional
on specific political and military
commitments from other NATO
members.
No Longer . Begger.
In this connection, one fact
stands out clearly. Europe today
Is no longer in the position of q
beggar receiving handouts from
a generous rich relation. The
weight of NATO's rearmament
effort rests at least as heavily on
the shoulders of the average
European as it does on the aver
age American. The idea that
Americas contribution to this
effort is a gift that can be
granted or withheld depending
on good behavior lacks realism.
From the European point of
view. at least, it seems that the
drive for security can only be
sustained as long as the common
need for sacrifice can be kept
alive in the public imagination.
Evening star., 1953-05-10

strength" The promised era Of
relaxation and tension whetted
the common resolve by carrying
with 1t the connection of smaller
sacrifices in the reasonably near
future. AS q temporary means
of smoothing the way for the
new program, the line undoubt-
edly served its purpose. But
today, as both America and Eu-
rope awaken to the permanence
of their mutual security COM
mitments, the chickens OF OPP
tlmism are coming home to roost.
In spite of these difficulties,
NATO has reached the point
where Europe no longer amounts
to a military pushover to Soviet
forces. With the creation OF a
continental covering force OF
nearly 2.5 million men supported
by 5000 aircraft and powerful
naval forces, the free world is
stronger than it was at the be-
ginning of World War II. In
case anyone is inclined to feel
cocky about this fact, of course.
NATO's military leaders point
out with fervor and unquestion-
able logic that the forces at their
command are still hopelessly in
adequate for the assignment OF
defending Europe against a Rus
sian attack. But they can at least
predict that within two years,
given the political breaks and the
same momentum as has existed
in NATO up to this point. some
thing like a reasonable balance
may be won.
The grave danger is that this
momentum will be lost. Within
the last few months-or, to fix
the date more precisely, since the
installation of the new admins
tration in Washington - there
has been an unmistakable at
tempt to develop a new philoso-
ply Of Western Europea
security.
Long Range Solutions.
In general it has been put on
the basis of finding long-range
solutions to Europe's economic
and military problems. The idea
of NATO shifting gears for the
long pull" has been the dominant
theme of each recent high-level
NATO pronouncement. This
laudable idea with its emphasis
on striking a balance between
economic and military factors,
has, however, suffered from a
certain lack of definition. It has
encouraged a reaction of "do
what you can provided it doesA't
hurt much" It has given many
observers the impression of a
search for a comfortable political
formula in exchange for the
bothersome, expensive and un-
pleasantly realistic program on
which NATO had been launched.
There we're abundant indica-
tions of this new trend in the

BY the Associoted Press

RICHMOND, Va, May 9.-The

States says the people of Britain
won't be discouraged by a reduc-
ton in foreign aid unless there is
an accompanying reduction in
trade.
But if on one hand the dollar
aid Is cut by the United States"
said Sir Roger Mellor Makins,
"and trade with Great Britain
under the collective effort of the

The ambassador commented in
reference to the Eisenhower ad-
