Unless the American and
British military estimates are
entirely wrong, 1856 is the
target date for the U.S.S.R.
and China to complete their
preparations for a final show
down with what may be left
by them of the free nations.
Only an unexpected virile
action on the part of the
United States and whatever
allies may wish to follow could
upset the present Communist
plans.
According to information
considered reliable, the work
done by the Russian and satel-
lite technicians - Germans,
Poles and Czechs-in northern
Sinkiang and Tibet has been
remarkable. Tibet is consid-
cred the invasion route to
India.
Red Chinese forces are re-
ported to have gathered in the
last few months on the China
Burma border. Burma is al
ready thoroughly inf1ltrated
and it will be child's play for
the Peiping Communists to
take 1t over.
India, despite her large pop
ulation (over $50 million). is
militarily weak and there are
no indications that Prime Min
lister Nehru will wake up in
time to see the, danger of his
present cordiality toward the
Peiping regime. India repre-
sentS an amorphous mass with
endemic poverty which can

The Reds are counting on
taking over Indo-China
through a French political
surrender. The three Asso-

the time required to get to-
gether and organize themselves
if a So-called Wet MIMI
French agreement is reached
at Geneva. There has been
already strong Communist in
filtration in Laos and Cam
bodia. Without ample breath

Decisions Of groups in our
society involving Government
and the relationships of human
beings under or in Government
are affected necessarily by the
atmosphere and climate Of the
times. That embraces what we
call politics.
Such influences are not al
ways consciously recognized.
Not even the Supreme Court
operates in a vacuum, nor
should it. Certainly its recent
series of decisions banning seq
regation in our public schools
and other areas Of our society
reflected an appreciation Of a
changed climate and atmos-
phere which had occurred over
q long period. The Supreme
Court merely was accepting
this. It was aware, however,
that this was not just a tenn
porary atmosphere, but a slow
ly shifting attitude that is part
Of historical process.
This was hardly so, on the
other hand, in a more recent
decision by another group, the
special Personnel Security
Board of the Atomic Energy
Commission in the case of DIR.

Toking Another Look at Britoin
Comment in London Press Indicates Thot England Hc
No Idea Of Following VocIoting Policy at Geneva
Dovid Lowrence

LONDON, June 4.-What-
ever impression the outside
world may have gotten here
tofore that the British are
unaware of the dangers Of q
policy Of vacillation with re-
spect to the Geneva Con-
ference can certainly be
erased now as unrealiStic. For
the latest comments from the
press here indicate the exact
opposite.
The London Daily Tele-
graph, which is one Of the
leading newspapers support
ing the ConServatives-the
party which is today in power
in the governments calling
for a firm statement of policy
and is warning the Commu-
niStS that Britain may have
to consider q revision Of her
policy of waiting for the Ge-
neva Conference to adjourn be-
fore making any new COM
mitments. Presumably this
means joining the Southeast
Asia security pact. The Tele-
graph had this to say the
other day:
"At Geneva the negotiators
are now getting nearer to
grips. Discussions are at last
to be held on the practical de-
tails Of arranging an armistice
and regrouping the rival forces
in Indo-C China. That Geneva
has got this far is in a sense
q triumph for Mr.. Eden. It
is certain, too, that all his
qualifications as honest broker
will be tested to the full by the
trying negotiations which still
lie ahead.
TN the first place, it is far
from evident that Communist
readiness to talk about an ar
mistice betrayS any desire for
an armistiie, still less any
readiness to make sacrifices
(such as Laos and Cambodia,
for inStance) to reach one.
Even supposing that they do
desire an armistice, there is
still the question Of who is to
supervise 1t, who to guarantee
it. By what means, moreover,

Should these developments
materialize. there is little doubt
that the strongly. anti Com
munist Thailand will have to
Succumb, as will-much more
readily-Indonesia with her 78
million people.
These are facts in making
which our; citizenry should
consider before it regards the
Communist menace from in
side and outside as an exag-
gefation of some professional
Red baiters. The time is not
to be far OF when the Presi-
dent of the United States
may feel duty bound to make
clear-cut revelations to a pub
lie which has heard too often
the cry of wolf only to be
treasured frequently from the
highest quarters that the case
was being overstated.
There still are free nations
in the world which have
enough tenacity to measure
themselves against the Red
colossi. But in the face Of our
indecision, or only vocal Of
fenSiveS, some are wondering
whether it would not be wiser
to make their own arrange
ments with the Reds.
There have been indications
lately that one of our staunch-
est allies of the past. Britain.
might be willing to change her
reutralist tune and join us in
a challenge to the Communists
along the lines of the Dulles

cations. the sequel of q high

rift Of policy between those
who think q third world war
inevitable and those who do
not: we disagree solely on the
method Of avoiding it.
I'm essence, the American
view is that by taking a cal
culated risk now we shall
avoid the necessity of taking
far grayer risks later; we
think it best to try negotia-
ton to the full. Both views
can be cogently defended, and
time may reconcile them. In

this phase Of the' negotiations
to drive q wedge between our
selves and the Americans: it is
a danger against which we
should be on guard.
so far from endangering
the prospects of q settlement,
the firm statement Of our
policy could only enhance
them. One must suppose that
there are in the Kremlin-
perhaps even in Peking-men
who for various reasons are
appalled, by the prospect Of a
third world war. IF that be
so, we must be careful not to
undermine their position by
undue weakness. If we are
firm, they will be able to re-
strain the hotheads in Indo-
China and elsewhere by point
ing to the terrible risks they
are running. How are they to
restrain any one, however, II
we remain divided and impo-
tent while Wet Mimi scores
success after success?
"The best way Of testing
Communist intentions is by
clarifying our own. Theirs are
not infiexible in detail; they
depend to a great extent on
ours. There would be no
greater mistake for the Com
munists than to imagine that
whatever happens we intend
to do nothing"
