5orojevo, Munich and EDO
French Assembly ScuttIing Of European Army Lkened
TO Events Which Led to Stort Of World Wars and II
Constantine Brown

The rejection OF the edo
by the French Parliament is
the third milestone In the de-
cline Of Europe.
The first was the assassina-
tion at Sarajeyo In 1914 of
Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the
heir to the throne of the
then Austrian Empire, which
led to World War I.
The second was the signing
Of the Munich agreement which
opened the way to World
War III.
And now the French Ma
tional Assembly has killed the
edo, which American and Eu-
ropean diplomats described as
the only hope for Europe to
survive. This slaughter may
we'll have the same effect as
the pistol shot at Sarajevo or
the surrender at Munich.
"A European defense plan
which fails to make use Of
German lnanpower is incon-
ceivable. In the spring OF
1851, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower
emphasized in his annual re-
port as supreme commander
at SHAPE that at least 500, 900
Germans must be included in
the NATO defense forces to
give them some real body.
The French did not like the
idea. But at that time neu-
tralisn had not yet dulled the
senses of the French and their
statesmen rushed to find a So
luton whereby Germany could
be rearmed without creating q
threat to Frances security. The
EDO was thus invented" by
French government headed by
Messrs. Pinay and Schuman
year later.
The edo plan did more than
provide for putting German
troops into a European army
made up of the continental
members of .NATO. It pro-
vided also for possible creation
of a United States of Europe.

How he interpreted this pub

urally, that the Nation virtu-

if Republicans should lose the
coming election and those aw-
full Democrats should get back
into control. He was speaking
as a Republican, Of course.

strength.
The French. still the pivot
Of the NATO in continental
Europe, have decided to pla-
cate the Kremlin and at the
same time ease the burdens
Of military servitude on their
own citizens. This could not
have been done even under
the limited German rearma- J
ment which Gen. Eisenhower
proposed nearly four years
ago. Thus the French killed
the EDO.
American diplomats pointed
out recently to Premier Men
des-France that while he may
be correct in his Surmise that
Russia does not intend to move
militarily against Western Eli
rope she may move in the
Pacific. The Premier is said
to have replied in effect:
Heavy rearmament in West
ern Europe would not help In
the slightest. The NATO treaty
contains no provisions what
soever for its European mem /
bers to fight in Asia in event
you are in trouble there. This
was amply demonstrated when
the Laniel : Bidault cabinet
asked urgently for military
support to save Diem Bien Phu
and you rejected that bid"
The rejection of EDO is un-
questionably a severe blow to
American prestige and policies
in Europe and all over the
world. It is also a major vic
tory for the Red rulers Of the
Kremlin. They have worked
overtime on the French gov.

100 Communists in French Assembly
Majority Thot Killed European Army
Dovid Lowrence [

Whatever doubts have been
expressed as to the wisdom Of
the virtually unanimous action
of Congress recently in strip
ping the Communist Party Of
its legal right to exist as a
political party must have been
swept away by the news dis
patches from Paris telling how
q bloc of 100 Communists sit
ting in the French National
Assembly furnished the ma
jority to kill the allied plan
for the defense Of Europe.
Few Americans realize that
the Communist Party in
France, which has been per-
mitted to infiltrate labor
unions and French cultural
institutions, now has all the
rights of any other political
party there. It has elected 100
deputies to the French Parlia-
ment, and they contribute
from their salaries to finance
the Communist Party. Their
allegiance is more often to the
Soviet government than to
France.
This was dramatically illus
trated not long ago when the
French National Assembly rose
in tribute to the fallen heroes
Of Diem Bien Phu in Indo-
China : but the 100 Commu-
mist deputies sat in silence.
The final vote rejecting the
European Defense Community
agreement was 319 to 264. But
II the bloc of Communist votes
there we're 80 >present-were
substracted, it would make the
vote 264 in favor of the EDC
treaty to 220 against it.
The presence of the Com
munist bloc inside the French
Parliament means that a So
viet-controlled group holds the
balance Of power in the gov
ernment of one of Americas
principal allies, on whose ter
ritory many Of our soldiers are
based and where atomic weap-
ons are necessarily located.

thus ending the strife and wars
that have beset the continent
for 100 years.
Americans hoped that our
contribution Of six divisions
to defend Europe against the
Reds and the nearly $40 bill
lion we gave for economic and
military rehabilitation would
clineh the EDC.y How mis-
taken we were. On Monday
q majority Of the French
Assembly turned down the
French-conceived plan.
Edouard Herriot. 82-year-
old statesman, succinctly put
the philosophy OF the French
man In the street when he
stated: We want q Europe
united by pacif1sm and disar-
mament. Since 1924, when I
first became prime minister,
we have had no difficulty with
Russia" His 10-minute speech
is reported to have put the
final nail in the coffin Of the
EDO.
Our dismayed diplomats are
asking "Who killed cock
robin?" Was it the French
fear Of another rnilitarist Ger
many, or was 1t the French
peoples conviction that the
u. S. s. r. has no aggressive in
tentions and that rearman1ent
will seriously handicap re-
establishment Of peace in
Europe?
None of our Western Euro
pean allies is concerned with
the Far East except as a
commercial proposition which
calls for cordial relations with
the Red leaders in Moscow
and Peiping. And most West
Europeans regard NATO as a
milestone around their necks.
Although we bear most Of the
expense, NATO is opposed for
two reasons. First 1t inter-
feres with the lives Of ordinary
citizens who must be drafted
in larger numbers than the
