new homes to be built there for

one stipulation, however, no in

strict regulations as to the care
that these people must take of

Quoting superply timed Asia-for-
Asiatics discussion in New Delhi.
The point Of the meeting was not
wasted on the vast masses in Asia.
It was emphasized in the final COM
munique which Chou and Nehru
issued last Monday. Hopes for peace
in Asia depend, they said, on avoid
ing interference by any one coun-
try with another
Except for this pointed invitation
to non-Asian countries to stop med
ding, the Chou-N ehru communique
could have been written by Anthony
Eden or Sir Winston. Studying its
message against the background Of
Prime Minister Churchill's philoso-
phic discussion of prospects for
peaceful co-existence and the poll
cies which stem from 1t, it is easy
to conclude that the United States
is quickly becoming isolated among
the major world powers.

3. The Locorno Idea

For more than a year now, Prime
Minister Churchill has been promot-
ing the master thought" Of I,ocarno
as diplomatic gimmick which could
pave the way in Europe for peace
full co-existence with the Commu-
nistS.
His faithful friend and lieuten-
ant" Anthony Eden, caused q Juror
on Capitol Hill by suggesting on
the eve Of his departure for Wash
ington that the L,ocarno theory could
be used In Southeast Asia, too. The
Eden idea was that members Of the
planned Southeast Asia alliance
could eventually join with the Rus
sian-C Chinese bloc In q Locarno-type
pact guaranteeing the status quo in
Asia.
Prime Minister Churchill stressed
In Washington last week that he
did not mean to apply the details

Areas Of Agreement

The conferees spent Saturday
rushing through the easy part Of
their informal agenda, polishing
their areas Of agreement. which were
three: Western Europe, disarnna-
ment and atomic energy secrecy.
Prime Minister Churchill last
week formally joined Secretary Dull
les long campaign to prod the
French into action on the European
Defense Community treaty. The
Churchill Eisenhower communique
of last Monday stated that I'VE are
agreed that the German Federal
Republic should take its place as
an equal partner in the community
of Western nations, where 1t can
make it's proper contribution to the
defense of the free world. We are
determined to achieve this goal, con-
vinced that the Bonn and Paris
treaties provide the bestsway."
Although the communique did not
mention it, Britain and the United
States are believed to have agreed
that IL no French National Assem-
bly, action on EDO has been taken
before the summer recess some
time in August direct action will
be taken to give the German Federal
Republic full sovereignty.
France may then be confronted
with the prospect of seeing q SOW
ereign West Germany step directly
into NATO, or IL France chooses to
veto this. Of Germany rearming OUT
side the treaty by means Of BIZ
lateral agreements with other NATO
members.
Despite the recent rebuff to Presi-
dent Eisenhower's plea for Soviet
collaboration In peaceful develop
ment Of atomic power. the two
chiefs of state still found 1t neces-
sary to repeat their plea for general
disarmament.
They also decided to share as
much knowledge about nuclear
weapons as the United States Con-
RreSs will allow.
A bill to share American atomic
secrets with Britain and Canada is
now in Congress and is expected
to come to q vote this session.

French Quit Corner
OF Red River Delta;
Tonkin's Fall Feared

Two weeks from Tuesday is the
deadline French Premier Pierre
Mendes-France has set for himself
to get peace with the Wet Mimi in
Indo-C China. There is still no def
mite indication how the military
talks at Geneva. exploring the prob
lem Of arranging cease-f1re, are
going.
In northern Wet Nam last week,
however, the French pulled out of
the southeastern corner of the delta,
aad most observers smelled a deal
TO turn over all Of Tonkin to the
Communists. The French military
command stauncaly denies any such
intention. Troops are merely being
pulled back, it is explained, to
strengthen the defenses along the
key Hanoi Haiphong lifeline.
Gen. Vo Nguyen Chaps Com
munist divisions have been poised
Tor several weeks now in positions
surrounding Hanoi. Outside observ-
ers think the only logical reason he
is holding back the assault Is to give
the French time to turn over the
whole area without q fight.
The French seem to be thinking
chiefly of q partition settlement in
Wet Nam which will preserve for
them the Mekong delta area around
Saigon, at least. There were indica-
tons last week. however, that the
Communists are hoping to get all
Of Wet Nam.
Chou En-lai, or his visit to New
Delhi, joined Prime Minister Nehru
in proclamation calling for a po-
iitical settlement in Indo-C China.
They said the settlement should
aim at the creation of free, dem
ocratic, unified and Independent
states which should not be used for
aggressive purposes or be subjected
to foreign intervention. =
No doubt this aim meant what 1t
said to Mr.. Nehru. But it Is safe
bet Mr.. Chou was using the Red
definitions of free. democratic. uni
fled, and independent"
IN his dialectical language all four
words mean the same thing: Com
munist.

until Thursday. Army men closer
to the seat Of power tried to hijack
the government away from him.
First military junta headed BY
Col. Carlos Diaz took over. But
Diaz wasn't anti-C Communist enough
to suit Col. Castillo. He continued
the '.war" by bombing Guatemala
city. Diaz lasted only until Tues
day, when his group was replaced
by another military junta, headed
this time by Col. Elfego Monzon.
Col. Monzon Immediately arr
ranged q cease-fire with Col. Cas-.
tillo, and ordered all Communist
leaders arrested. The Communist
party. already outlawed by the ma
tons constitution. had been res
outlawed by Col. Diaz' order. Vic
Tins Of Communist prosecution were
freed and they began telling of tor
lures they had suffered in Red
jails.
After two days Of negotiation In
San Salvador, Castillo and Monzon
agreed TO form a five-man junta
with Monzon at the top for Is days.
Col. MonZon was able to place two
of his friends on the governing
board while Col. Castillo got one
spot for his defense minister" Col.
Enrique Olivia. Col. Castillo hopes to
win over one of the Monzon men in
the next two weeks so that he can
take over the government.
American Ambassador John Pueri-
foy-the same man whom Senator
Joseph Mccarthy used to criticize
for lax enforcement Of security rules
In the State Department-acted as
referee" in the swift exchanges OF
power. He even flew to San Sal-
vador to mediate the Monzon- Cas-.
tillo meeting. It was Mr.. Puerifoyis
influence that led to the complete
sweep of Communists from govern
ment. Last week end President Arr
benz and his foreign minister first
tried to arrange phony change
In government, but Mr.. Puerifoy
advised" against it.
The United Fruit Co.'S part in GUST
ing the Reds became q new source
Of speculation Friday. The Justice
Department announced it would
prosecute the firm for monopolistic
operations in selling bananas In this
country.
Secretary OF State John Foster
Dulles told the Nation Wednesday
night with satisfaction: I'VE can
be grateful that there were loyal
citizens Of Guatemala who In the
face Of terrorism and violence and
against what seemed insuperable
odds had the courage and the win
to eliminate the traitorous tools Of
foreign despotisn."
What the Organization of Ameri.
can States and the United Nations
Security Council will now do to wind
up their investigation Of the Guate-
mala case is not clear. A grace
full exit probably will be hard to
make. Col. Castillo seems to have
proved that international peacemak-
ing doesn't necessarily get Id ths
way Of revolution-if the revolt
succeeds quickly enough. It is the
problem Of the GAS and the U. N.
to extricate themselves without cali
ing too much attention to this en-
barrassing aspect.

2. Southeast Asia

The basic differences on prospects
for peaceful co-exiSence naturally
led to disagreements on how to meet
the Communist threat in Southeast
Asia. Prime Minister Churchill and
Secretary Eden had come to WASH
ington still formally pledged to hold
of talking about a Southeast Asia
defense alliance until the results of
the Geneva Conference (now in the
hands Of French and Wet Mini
negotiators) were known.
On Monday noon, q Churchill-
Eisenhower communique appeared
to say that the British had decided
to go ahead Immediately, before the
Geneva results were known. It said:

for collective defense to meet either

from the conclusion of an agreement

He defined the spirit Of Locarno
this way:
II meant. Of course, the plan Of
everybody going against the agrees
sor. whoever it may be, and helping
the victim, large or small. That is
no more than the United Nations
was set to do"
Mr.. Churchill added that, in his
judgment. the key flaw In Locarno
was the lack of American support
for It's provisions. Today, he inn
piled, he hopes for our backing If
any similar treaty can be arranged.
President Eisenhower. however,
made 1t clear that Sir Winston's
chances Of getting American support
are nil.
In the American view, a Lo-
carno-type pact in Southeast Asia
might very well lead to this coun-
try's guaranteeing Communist rule
over reluctant populace. Presi-
dent Eisenhower and Secretary
Dulles have Wet Nam In mind. They
are expecting that France soon viii
make peace with the Wet Mimi by
turning over control of the Tonkin
delta In North Wet Nam to the Com
munists. There are millions Of anti
Communists in the area. principal
among them million Roman Cath
olicS.
Tuesday the President obtained Sir
Winston's approval for sentence
in their statement Of basic prin-
ciples which all but took Britain out
of the L,ocarno play completely. The
sentence said:
"As regards formerly sovereign
states now in bondage. we will not
be party to any arrangement or
treaty which would confirm or pro-
long their unwilling subordination."
On Wednesday the President
spelled out his position even more
clearly in one of his rare, un-
equivocal press conference COM
ments. authorized for direct quo
tation: ri viii not be a party to any
treaty that makes anybody a slave"
The House Of Representatives
backed him by inserting a special
amendment in its foreign-aidsappro-
priations bill (see below that none
of the money should be used on
behalf Of governments which are
committed by treaty to maintain
Communist rule over any definite
territory of ASIA
The United States still might
sign a treaty pledging this country
not to disturb the status quo in
Southeast Asia. Such a-pledge would
be no more than America has al
ready given in the case OF Korea
and Germany.

Churchill Challenges Administration Policy,
Asks Good Try at Peaceful Co-existence

It is q popular European judg-
ment that submitting to American
leadership Of the free world Is the
equivalent of riding mustang colt
There's plenty OF power, zip and
speed in the critter, but that high
center Of gravity will throw you II
you don't watch out.
The only European who can ride
the American mustang, 1t seems, is
Sir Winston Churchill. He climbed
into the saddle last week and stayed
aboard throughout his five-day visit
to the White House while all Europe
'applauded.
From the other side Of the Atlantic
1t appeared that the United States
had somehow been persuaded to
put OF its dreaded military show
down with the Kremlin.
i, Prime Minister Churchill and
President Eisenhower both hailed
the reafirmation Of Anglo-Ameri-
can unity. But beneath the surface
there lay some of the most basic
differences in view since World War
II started. Mr.. Churchill put his
finger on a fundamental Of both,
unity and disunity In a talk at
Ottawa on Wednesday. He told the
Canadians he advocated peace
through strength" while keeping "a
friendly alternative" before the Rus
sian people. He said:
II do not know at all why we
should have to depart from the
idea was brought up with that
we have to live with all kinds of
people In this wicked world. II we
have to choose between living side
by side with q system based on
profound fallacy and perhaps
bringing about the destruction OF
the human race by trying to re-
form them, then I think we should
let the reform stand over
The Prime Minister smiled as he
added: II suppose you would say I
am trying to have 1t both ways
and ] am"
The United States wanted it both
ways, too, but with more stress on
peace through strength" less on
friendship for Russia.

In Washington, The Stars diplo-
matte correspondent. James E. Roper.
had written the day before that,
despite the language Of the Monday
communiQue, Britain and the United
States planned in effect to continue
along their separate ways on stem
ming the Red tide in Southeast Asia.
Great Britain has agreed in
principle to join the United States
and other countries in q NATO-
type treaty" Mr.. Roper wrote, "but
the treaty will not be ready for
signing for some time. Great Brit
ain, meanwhile, will go ahead with
her plans for non-aggression pact
in Southeast ASia-even though the
United States will not join"
Prime Minister Churchill, 1t ap-
peared, had gone beyond the Mon
day communique and agreed not
only to talk about Southeast
Asian alliance but to join it. Before
that time comes, however, Indo-
China could very well be lost to the
Reds at the conference table in
Geneva. 81 81
ANUS, Meets
The Churchill Eden party had
hardly got out of town before the
ANUS nations, Australia, New Zea-
land and the United States, held
significant meeting in Washington
Wednesday afternoon. They an
nounced formally that they agreed
on the need for immediate action
to bring about the early establish
ment of collective defense in South
east Asia" Key word was .imme-
date" The terse statement tended
to confirm the speculation that the
two South Pacific members Of the
British commonwealth were more
eager than the United Kingdom for
action in Indo-C China.
So did the report that the ANUS
powers may soon issue q formal
warning to the Communists - one
that the British presumably would
not join into stay out Of certain
areas of Southeast Asia.

A. Eost-West Trade

The question Of trade and cultural
relations with the Soviet bloc Is one
that has bedeviled Anglo American
relations since the Korean war
broke out. Britain. which depends
much more on trade than America,
prefers to keep closer contact with
the Reds. America stopped all trade
with Red China when it entered the
Korean war.
Both the Democratic and Re-
publican administrations have been

the face OF the most violent criti-
cisrn from the right wing Of the

Mccarthy OF Wisconsin.

Sir Winston opened frontal as
sault on the trade ban advocates
in his visit here last week. He favors
increasing cultural and trade con-
facts as q method Of promoting
peaceful co-existence:

more likely to bring about q nodifi-
