On Optimistic Note

The Atlantic Union Commit
tee today opened its fourth an
nual Congress Of Delegates in q
spirit of optimism about. the
prospect Of an Atlantic Union
resolution in Congress.
The two-day meeting is being
held at the Shoreham Hotel with
former Supreme Court Justice
Owen J. Roberts presiding.
Senator Kefauver, Democrat,
Of Tennessee is expected to re-
introduce the union resolution
in Congress in January. It would
call on the President to invite
other democracies which spon-
sored the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization to name delegates
to meet with those Of the United
States to explore application of
the principle of free federal
union. Other nations also would
be invited to take part.
Such a union would function
within the framework of the
United Nations and would re-
nuire no amendment to the
charter.
Justice Roberts expressed the
view that the results of the con-
gressional elections generally in
dicate "that Atlantic Union is
an issue which the voters are
beginning to understand"
In the report of the executive
committee. Gerald b. Henry,
chairman, pointed out that SO

firmly indorsed in the 3 recent
proposals of the Soviet Union
at the United Nations, formu-
lated on the basis of Franco
British suggestions.
The new Soviet proposals for
a general European conference,
with the participation of the
United States and an observer
from the Chinese Democratic
Republic, are an answer to the
fervent wish of the immense ma
jority of Frenchmen who de-
mand that a solution to the
German problem be found in a
system of collective security

1t is therefore easy to under

A. The result would be the
prolonged partition of Germany,
the formation of antagonistic
blocs where the smallest shock
could produce the spark of war:
tension in the international sit
Iuatior1, the ornaments race, in
creased military burdens and in
creased taxes.
It would also be an obstacle
to the resumption of negotia-
tions necessary to assure the
triumph, over solutions of
strength, of peaceful solutions
acceptable by all countries. It
would be incompatible with the
hope of all countries to reach an
agreement banning atomic and

Vishinsky. Mr.. Vishinsky told
the Western sponsors yesterday
he approved of the revised plan
on all but one point. But in
formed sources said this differ
ence would not stand in the way
of final Soviet approval.
Mr.. Vishinsky opposed a West
ern provision to invite only
members of the U. N. and it's
specialized agencies to the pro-
posed scientific conference on
peaceful uses Of atomic energy.
Apparently seeking a bid for Red
China, he argued that there
should be no restrictions on the
invitation list. The Russians en-
tered this as an amendment, but
it was generally believed they
would support the seven-power
plan even if their suggestion was
defeated. Observers pointed out
that Mr.. Vishinsky had little
hope of mastering enough sup
port for a demand the West so
bitterly opposes, but that he
probably wants to get his posi-
ton on record.
Observers believed the COM
promise plan won Russian sup
port because it gives the Soviets
a chance to save face while vot-
ing for a proposal they SO round
" criticized in the early stages
of the debate.
Provisions Of Measure.
The resolution:
/. Provides that the scientific
conference be held next summer.
Russia has agreed to serve on a
committee to set up the confer
ence.
2. Suggests that as soon as the
international atomic agency is
set up. it negotiate an approp-
pirate agreement with the U. N.

making it a specialized U. N.
agency, hut the Russians object
ed and called for it to be placed
under the Security Council. :.

on the agency continue. as
recommended by Russia.

able for joint action by Socialist
and Communist workers.
A Communist View.
@. Do you believe that Mr..
MendeS-F France has the support
Of the French people?
: A. His popularity at the be-
ginning was genuine. 1t was
based on his action at Geneva
where the Indo-C Chinese issue
was settled, and on his demands
for changes of certain provisions
of the EDO at the Brussels con-
ference. His popularity reached
its peak at the time that the
EDO was rejected. Ever since
Mr.. Mendes-F France, by signing
of the London and Paris agree
ments, set out on the path of
remilitarization of West Ger
many and refused to meet the
demand for an increase in SAL
aries and wages, his popularity
has been on the downgrade.
@. How long do you expect
the Mendes-F France government
to last?
A. It's difficult to say. We
are not prophets. We judge poll
ticians and governments on their
acts. Nevertheless, it is certain
that Mr.. Mendes-France now
faces some serious problems Of
internal and foreign policy which
will be difficult to solve. North
African affairs, budgetary ques-
tions, problems concerning Ger
man rearmament and interna-
tional negotiations will create
great difficulties for him since
he will be confronted by the ov-
erwhelming protest of public
opinion and by the firm will of
the French people to see the
triumph of a policy of peace,
democracy and national indie
pendence.
Not "Afraid" of Elections.
@. Would the Communist Par
ty welcome a general election
at this time?
A. We see no reason for hasty
elections which, on the other
hand, we are not afraid of. We
expect that the normal consti-
tutional process will be followed
and that new elections will be
held in 1866 as provided in. the
constitution.
@. In view of the reported de-
cline in Communist Party mem
bership in France, what do you
expect the result of an election
would be?
A. Talk of a decline in Com
munist Party membership is
false. At the present moment,
we are enrolling new members
and new organizations. There
is therefore no reason to presume
a decrease in influence at the
polls. Quite the opposite is
taking place. In fact, in all par
tial elections which are being
held in various parts of France,
the French Communist Party not
only consolidated its position, but
it also increased It's percentage.
Last Sunday, November 14th, for
instance, in the Aisne depart

for the General Council obtained

your trip so that you have plenty
of time to reach your destination
and return without speeding or
